I hope you all enjoyed this dive into the story of Michiko Arasaka! Let me know your thoughts and theories down below on what happened to her and Danger Gal. As always make sure to have a great week and I will see ya later chooms!
I know we all hate Arasaka, but are we sure Militech isn't worse? In the new ending, which I assume occurs after Arasaka is weakened by Yorinobu and Militech filling the power vacuum, Night City looks way worse; with waves of homeless people on the streets, enlisting posters for Militech and their troops walking around the city like Barghest in Dogtown. Feels like burning Arasaka down isn't exactly the best for NC.
You're not wrong and that's actually a rather interesting point of view.
The large players in places like NC keep them from turning as much of their attention to the common folk.
They are basically the same at this point. If one gets the edge over the other it would be the same result.
Cyberpsycosis is cured tho.... still shit but yaknow there's that
Arasaka and specifically Saburo want to set themselves up as immortal overlords who control the digital afterlife. If night city has to burn to stop them i say burn it down samurai
After playing the ending. I realise how screw up Hanako and Arasaka family. Yorinobu is groom to be the vessel for his father from day 1 and Hanako is suppose to take care of Yorinobu to ensure he is in pristine condition....this is messed up and I pity Yorinobu
Michiko and Danger Gal are the group that I hope to learn so much more about in the future in tabletop and video games. Can't wait to hear your take on that info when the time comes, as well.
Hopefully we get a complete publishing of the Smasher x Michiko fling in the future...it's definitely sitting in a vault somewhere!
Hey cmon give em a chance. This game was no doubt a massive undertaking. The amount of time they poured into the game is absolutely insane. Each play through you find something else you missed. I only just now got the iguana egg and am waiting for it to hatch so I can have both pets .
The amount of Easter eggs, the care and time taken to pay attention to the lore. And this was released in 2019! Yes it suffered from just not being ready for release but everything else is just fantastic. The time you can spend learning about the entire history. The amount of people you can meet and befriend, betray or kill is astounding. And no matter what ending you take, you will be crying and crushed in some way but leave you begging for the sequel already.
There are pets?!
@@zosasho8036 yup. A cat in your megatower by finding the shard and buying cat food. The iguana egg is literally the easiest to miss in Yorinobu’s suite
What are you talking about bro? Quit the yapping, get a job? L Comment
“Yes it suffered from just not being ready for release but everything else is fantastic” you say that like it’s some small, insignificant thing lol. Imagine a car being put to market, millions of people buy it, then you find out it’s going to need months worth of tweaks before it’s even drivable.
I like Cyberpunk in its current state, but that was an absolute scumbag corporate move. They sold an unfinished product at full price. I was a CDPR bandwagon card carrying member after Witcher 3 like many people, but aside from From Software (who’s spent almost 2 decades building nothing but goodwill and nothing else) I know better than to pre-order. The shit CDPR pulled with Cyberpunk’s release should’ve resulted the company in criminal level fines (along with other companies who pull this.) Gaming is the only industry where you can full price sell something on the promise that you’ll receive a finished product, not receive that, and not have any legitimate ramifications on the company.
You’re crazy if you think CDPR/the Cyberpunk 2077 team should just be forgiven and the state of the game on release should just be considered this small little thing we should get over.
@@nicholassmieleski9710Thank you! It's absolutely appalling that most people have completely forgotten just how scummy of a move they pulled by releasing such an unfinished game. The game is still nowhere near what they promised it would be.
Your channel is phenomenal for lore dives. Thanks for making my campus commute more interesting lol
I know all too well how boring that down time can get between classes. Glad you're enjoying the content as I love making it!
Yes! I was looking forward to this vid after that poll
Really love your content
I really appreciate these videos you create. Im too busy with life and I cant play video games to the length I used to. Great way to explore the lore in a condensed format.
I'm just glad I can help inform on my favorite IP. Thank you for the support choom, I hope you continue to enjoy!
Nice! Always wanted to know more about her
Anyone notice how common the name Elizabeth is with corpos
Love your videos, dude! I love learning about the lore of this universe, and you deliver it nicely.
Thank you choom I love making the content so I'm glad you enjoy! Are there any characters you'd want to see next that I haven't covered?
Amazing deep dive into the lore of CP and great story telling keep the good work ! .
Thanks a lot choom glad you enjoyed!
I hope you continue to grow. The work and care you put into these videos are needed for the cyberpunk community. Somehow you always pick my favorite tracks from the game for your lore vids, added bonus
2077 makes it easy on me since their tracks fit narrations so damn well! I'm really thankful to have chooms like you supporting me and my content. Couldn't be more grateful!
It's strange to me that you don't have 250k+ subs, I feel like in years to come you'll be one of the go to RUclipsrs for this sort of content, keep up the great work and content choomba ❤
I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your videos. They are really well done and I am learning a lot from them!
Well I really appreciate you choom! I love creating these videos and it helps a lot seeing the support
@@LayedBackGamersthis is preem choom
I like to believe she's a double agent because otherwise she was just done dirty in 2077
I mean she's the only Arasaka character with plot armor, I'm guessing they didn't kill her because they want her for Orion or maybe the ttrp still needs her for something.
@@pinnacleevolution1634Honestly assumed the gal in the meeting was a body double for her honestly, or a doll lol
Definitely hope we get some Michiko content in Orion. Ideally a dlc story or major side quest. Would be a pretty cool investigation style story.
Hey man, nice video! Michiko definitely fits the role of an interesting member of the Arasaka family.
Btw, I noticed you're starting to integrate music into your videos that are outside of the Cyberpunk OST. Glad you're finding your groove, choom! Those little steps in growing your career are important, and I just wanted to let you know that they aren't going unnoticed!
I need a lore video on Rogue. There are none on all internet for some reason
I got you choom
I love that you cover the deep and lesser known lore of the universe. You always surprise me! I bet we'll get weapons manufacturers or an obscure gang next!
I hope you get into more detail regarding the plot of No Coincidence.
I've been thinking about how to go about it. It will likely be more in the form of a lore video covering specifically Zor. Rather than just being a "No Coincidences Novel Review"
@@LayedBackGamers I think that'll work best. He's the biggest puzzle. Listening to the audiobook a second time.
Early to the partyyyy🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Welcome choom 🎉
Can’t remember where I heard it, but someone once described Michiko as the Cyberpunk version of Alita (from Gunnm/Battle Angel). Kinda see where they were coming from, lol
Mike Pondsmith himself said it choom!
I knew it was someone big! Thanks choomba!
Heres a question. After stealing the Relic.. is it really militech in the basement parking or is it valentinos and arasaka agents framing militech?
Let's see if my reference is right but when you shut off the lights to night city it says stars shine like eyes the black night sighs is a reference to black sabbaths planet caravan so at this time your floating through a void (universe) with ones lover .....just speculation but it makes sense....
adam smasher elvis? i wonder if night city is actually down in ohio because that’s level 9 rizz
During I've seen that face before, while V and Alex apply behavioral imprints Reed was talking to an unknown guy. Who is he?
Yooooooooooooooo Choom
Hey choom you been doing well?
Should change her name to Pichiko 🍑 with all the anime mascots in DangerGal.
The more I learn about the book, the less I know if Talsorian is writeing about a TRPG, a book, or a Comic Graphic Novel...
They take the best parts of all three!
Arasukas
What is the true purpose of Arasaka??? Why did Yorinobu defect????
I NEED ANSWERS DAMMIT
The true purpose of Arasaka is to give Saburo the revenge he craves against the rest of the world for Japan being defeated in World War 2. That's the beginning and end of it. The guy isn't over feeling humiliated that his country lost a war more than 100 years ago and wants the world to kneel before him in defeat because of it. That's all.
@@steinarbergstl5799Yes but you're also missing the point on why yorinobu left because although what you said is true he also left because he found out that his purpose was literally to act as a body for saburu arasaka to possess in the future
I like arasaka better to be honest then militech, At least arasaka got some type of "honour" for their own people. If I got to choose between two evil, then arasaka is my go to. Militech is just too destructive in their mission, while arasaka do their ops avoiding casualties because its a bad rep for their empire.
Arasaka is just as destructive as Militech if not more. Saburo Arasaka was going to nuke Night City if Yori sold the Relic to NetWatch.
@@morganblackhand2020 Who says he wanted to sell it, he was gonna work with Netwatch. Selling it to Netwatch was Evelyn's plan not his.
@@pinnacleevolution1634 If you read the terminal in Yorinobu's penthouse there's an email exchange between Yori and a NetWatch agent where he's considering selling it to them. That's likely where Evelyn got the idea.
That’s like saying you’d prefer Nazi Germany over modern day America today...
Does Militech have it problems? Yeah and it’s corrupt. But Arasaka is worse and your delusional for not seeing that. Especially since it’s confirmed that they’d literally NUKE the rest of the world if given the chance in the bad ending...
damn those years were not kind to Michiko haha
If she went back to Smasher flings the new appearance would make a lot of sense lol!
Hababi its KEI as in the letter K. Not Kai. Good video but the mispronounced name made it hard to watch.
Wouldn't be a Layedbackgamers video if I didn't mispronounce a word choom!
There are definitely some facts wrong in this video. Still a good video though love the content
What facts were wrong? I don't mind being corrected so I can let people know or for future content
