      I think MAXTAC is the second most interesting group in cyberpunk right behind trauma team, there so many potential story lines that can be told from these two groups alone, hopefully they will play a major role in future games .

    I ran a Cyberpunk: Red game where I had the unlucky Chooms in the gang wake up under the care of MaxTac. Turns out, each of them went Cyberpsycho badly enough that MaxTac was called, and as a way to treat their psychosis their memories of how they got there were suppressed. Now, in order to pay for their rehabilitation (and also, as a screening process for becoming possible MaxTac Agents) they had to go track down a Ripperdoc who was suspected of giving purposely faulty cyberware to create Cyberpsychos - with each person in the new MaxTac unit (Unit title: Rip-Off) being someone who was fed faulty chrome from this Ripper.
    I love that you brought up how MaxTac has some of the only true "rehabilitating" tech out there. Makes them an interesting entity as they take down the very people they "could" help. A caring, yet incredibly bottom-line ruthless organization.

    It's funny how V always throws a spanner in the Cyberpunk universe's power scaling. MaxTac have to be absolitely chromed out to fight cyberpsychos but V can fight them alone while wearing fairly minimal chrome. Borgs are supposedly insanely strong, moreso that basically any non-borg barring very few exceptions, but V can take them down fairly easily. Using a Sandevistan too frequently can have devastating consequences on a person but V uses them with nearly no cooldown. MaxTac has an astonishingly high success rate in neutralizing cyberpsychos but V, if played like a psycho, could have an astonishingly high success rate in neutralizing MaxTac. They truly gave us an insane power level in this game.

      2: Even before the relic it’s fair to say that v was a competent merc considering they earned a name for themselves in a relatively short amount of time.

      NOMADS, focus on the clans. Inside and out the city in the badlands. Learn what it means to be family.
      CORPORATION, focus on the corporations and their environment. Join Militech or Arasaka(or hell a new startup) and you crawl and claw your way up the corporate ladder. Do you help the small company become a big dog or will it be crushed under your boot as you stand on the shoulders of Giants?

      MaxTac is run by the NCPD. Worth noting is that MaxTac and it's leadership isn't inherently corrupt to the core, unlike more or less every other public organisation because everyone understands the severity and pure randomness of the Cyberpsychosis threat.
      They have the capability because someone has to neutralise the cyberpsycho threat and they have proven themselves (100% success rate) to be effective.
      Arasaka is the most powerful faction in the game because they have a massive supercarrier, the Kujira moored in the city harbour. Militech is a close second. Both of them have and operate actual militaries with top-of-the-line equipment they themselves manufacture, unlike the NCPD who purchases their equipment from suppliers, such as Arasaka and Militech.

    You know when the first trailer for cyberpunk came out I thought that we would be playing as a member of maxtac.
    Like we’d play a badass cybernetic supercop, That hunted down rogue cyborgs bladerunner style.
    Maybe we could try to reconcile with our humanity despite us being what we are. Maybe we could choose to be absolute psychopaths. Or maybe we could end up to be on the wrong side of the law and be chased by our former maxtac people because we were set up by corrupt people in night city.
    Then they revealed V as the PC

They kept destroying every single car I got in leading to me having to scramble to find new vehicles every few minutes. It took me going deep off road in the badlands for them to finally lose my trail. I've seen Edgerunners and knew they were the best of the best but I did not expect it to carry into the game so well. Definitely one of the best experiences I've had in a game in the last few years.

    You overlooked one aspect of Cyberpsychosis that is very important. But thats ok since it was basically sidelined in the game and anime: Psychological trauma.
    The high ammount of cases of cyberpsychosis are directly linked to the psychological trauma people experience in Night City's daily struggle.
    A life of crime ridden streets, backstabbing politics, merciless business and human drama and violence around every corner.
    In the Pen&Paper Original, you had a "humanity"-Counter wich, if it dropped to 0, would make you a cyberpsycho. And that humanity counter was under constant strain from the implants you bought, the potential crimes you comitted, the violence you saw and the trauma you received and caused.
    So in the original, it was not just the Chrome, it also was the dystopian hell of Night City, wich caused Cyberpsychosis. Thats why its so hard to rehabilitate cyberpsychos. What made them snap is often not just the chrome. It is Nightcity itself.
    love your videos and you really made me excited about cyberpunk again. Im giving it another shot!

    A friend of mine came up with a theory about James that I honestly adore and fits with what we see in Cyberpunk 2077.
    When you go around hunting Cyber-psychos, you need to find out just WHAT made them snap and send the detes to Regina.
    Now, mind you, though I think the implants DO help a BIT to cause Cyber-psychosis, it seems like what REALLY causes it is the STRESS these people go through. Like... going postal basically. Life constantly crushing on top of them will eventually have their toll.
    Now, as for the theory he came up with James:
    It wasn't simply a "burst of violence". James was way too well prepared. He bought a whole ARSENAL with him. When we first see him, he's looking down, as if he's internally preparing himself for something big. Yes, we do believe he's suffering from Cyber-Psychosis, but not the "kill everything in sight" type.
    What my friend theorized is that James pretty much committed "suicide by cop".
    James went all the way to the Corpo Plaza, armed to teeth, apparently not having killed anybody on his way there. And only truly started killing once he found some police.
    Now, with all the crime and killings in Night City, there's not always a GARUANTEE the police will show up to stop them. You can see that as you play the Cyberpsycho missions in Cyberpunk 2077, neither the police NOR Max-Tac show up before V, which suggests that the Police would rather not get involved and Max-Tac takes a while to get notified. Now, the Police does show up every once in a while in the form of corpses in a FEW Cyberpsycho sightings, but not all, so James decides to make the process quicker and just go right for somewhere with high police activity to start his massacre, aimed SOLELY at cops by the way, which would prompt the Police to call Max-Tac WAY faster than they normally would.
    Now, you must be wondering "Okay, if James wanted to die so bad, why didn't he just off himself?"
    We see the very reason the moment the police starts firing at James. He was essentially bullet-proof. Nothing they did could even BEGIN to damage him at all, no matter how many rounds they spent on him. We had a fuckton of cops just magdumping him and he quite literally did not even flinch. Not to mention that considering his use of the sandervistan, and his fighting style, along with body language, he's still calm and somewhat AWARE of what he's doing. It doesn't look like a "manic episode", he seems like he's in full control of his body during this mess.
    Thing is: Because his body is essentially a TANK now, normal weapons just won't do. He can't just pop a bullet in his own head because it'll just bounce off. He KNOWS Max-Tac is the only thing that can put him out of his misery and he KNOWS he has to do something BIG for Max-Tac to take notice and come end him. Which is why we think when got taken down by Max-Tac, instead of trying to escape in any way, like he was so expertedly using his Sandervistan before Max-Tac's arrival, he just started shooting at will, even though his bullets were clearly doing jack to Max-Tac's advanced armor.
    It really puts into perspective how interesting Cyber-Psychos are. All the years in the military probably made the guy snap and decide to suicide by Max-Tac.

    • @nihili4196
      @nihili4196 Год назад +2

      That, or he went on power trip, believing himself to be unkillable, maybe even unable to comprehend the idea of him dying.
      To me it felt like he was trying to provoke Max-Tac, targeting police officers to make sure Max-Tac would arrive sooner.
      This was definitely a premeditated thing, and it's hard to tell if it was a suicide, or if it was just search of a thrill of the challenge.
