This man gave us an in-depth, brief breakdown of Cyberpunk concepts without wasting time, delivering a concise script, and a visual documentary to help keep things clear... ... And put the ads at the end. You're one breathtaking bastard. You've earned a follow, a like, and my respect.
If you enjoy the story I would highly recommend before December 31st getting three cans of Rockstar with cyberpunk characters on them and getting the three prequel comics free and if you have an Xbox one you get a dollar for each can god damnit now I feel like a rogue avert AI 🤣🤣🤣
no choices matter, there is no immersive experience, its all lies. Games 20 yrs ago had more customization and choice making that mattered. Kotor for example. 3 paths all the same. Its not even an RPG. You get every ending no matter what you choose, I coukd go on and on, don't get me started on the AI or wanted system, not even a tattoo shop LOL. The NPCs all have throw away lines, CDPR lied to ppl. See RDR 2 on how to do an immersive game on ps4.
The Night City Guide supplement for 2020 literally has bus and train routes, the number for "Chip Heads Anonymous," and the process for getting your driver's license. They thought of fuckin everything.
Same, I played the game back on launch and knew that it was based off the table top game but damn I had no idea it was like fallout level of deep. Probably the most interesting part to me is always how it follows along with our world and then starts to go crazy. Like we are in 2022 and by comparison 2022 in cyberpunk is absolutely nuts with technology and implants.
It's also eerie to think how easily this kinda future could happen for the U.S. within the next couple decades. The imbalance and lack of hope this country has rightnow with its government is appalling. Makes me ashamed to be living in America. Cant wait to have an escape from this shit country when the game releases.
This dark and dystopian look at the future is really hard to watch because you can see glimpses of these horrible things in the world today concerning corporations, money, human cruelty, greed and perpetual conflict. Aren't we slowly progressing towards this?
I’ve played this game for almost 30 years and loved the depth of lore and constant improvement in the lore of all aspects of it. And I’ve been waiting for the computer game for about 15 years so I’ve got no problems waiting another few weeks for a quality game that suitably captures that depth. And yeah I’ve still got all the books and bits and pieces I’ve obtained over the years. I’ve had probably 10 long term campaigns with dozens of players and possibly hundreds of edge runners.
This vid must be really good if you don't have any complaints in your comment, can you share one of the things you found out as being the cyberpunk god,that could be handy to know in the 2077 game?
Robert Guagliardo I would love to chat with you. I’m trying to put together a group of friends to start the tabletop version of this at my workplace , kinda like a secret cult haha but having a hard time getting started!
There's only a hand full of us who actually played the TTRPG. The rest are tweens latched on the tit of the PS4 believing they are the first to discover Cyberpunk. Even though it's been out since 1989 I'm sure they don't even know who Mike Pondsmith is to the game.
@@Wolfedog Don't be dick. Instead be glad the world of Cyberpunk will live on through a new generation of fans. The same type of people that played the original TTRPG are the same type of people anticipating the video game. We're of the same kind so don't be condescending, bitter, or whatever it is you're coming off as. Oh, and of course we know who Mike Pondsmith is... You act as if we don't have knowledge at the touch of a screen.
@@d.dawg1 What comes to the RP-aspect of your question: it was what the GM made it to be. A good cyberpunk GM understood that the players shouldn't be allowed to rely too much on permanency; everything bought can get stolen, everything earned can be stripped away, everything promised can turn into a betrayal. GM shouldn't serve milk and biscuits during the sessions either. What comes to game mechanics: neither 1.0 or 2.0 (3.0 never existed, so don't know about that) had character levels, so there wasn't that much min-maxing, unlike in D&D. You can't get more hit points by leveling up. At least by 2.0 rules, if a weapon does 4+ points of damage (even the tiniest pistol can do that) to head it will make you roll a new character. Every non-targeted hit has a 10% chance to hit the head, and a proper GM knows that no rule says that NPCs can't use targeted aming... Combat is dangerous and usually deadly for all involved. Unlike in D&D, mostly.
I'm having fun with the game, I just wish I REALLY wish it took advantage of its setting more. The City really evokes that cyberpunk feel, but the game doesn't take advantage of it.
around 35% of the game is also missing, the underground, and quite a few storylines are withheld, and will properly be sold to us as a expansion/DLC later.
Hope we can get into AVs and see the rich areas also more fight clubs and bounty hunting and PI type missions i love the noir vibe while walking around w a trench coat
CDPR probably wanted to get into it more, but they have to consider the attention span of the average gamer. It is probably better to get a good foundation built then expand it even more in sequels in the future. So much information wasn't explained or mentioned that they'll still have a bunch of source material to work from.
I'm pretty confident you can play 2077 just fine without knowing any of this stuff, otherwise the game would be too alienating to a mass audience. Regardless, this information is interesting.

This is the definitive Cyberpunk video. I've finished the game and I'm watching this now because I can't get enough of the world and your video literally covered most things I was wondering about. Amazing work.
It’s crazy to think in a timeline much more advanced than us it still bewilders me that trees and vegetation becomes a scarcity to where having REAL plant life can show a status wealth and fortune, and who’s to say that won’t happen?

@@irong.4625 Oh you have no idea Read some ancient literature and shit it gonna blow your mind Where do you think most writers get their inspirations from
@@irong.4625 I would have to agree I'm a huge comics fan myself but knowing this thing that actually happened is pretty good while reading history and there are old stories as well which got exaggerated that we call fairy tales that inspire many fictions. I mean it's nice to read but yeah fiction is more immersive
I will never understand why this game's bugs overshadow how great of a single player RPG it is. This game was fucking amazing and it's storylines were fantastic. All of the Fallout games and Skyrim were also littered in bugs but they received zero hate, this game had so much more soul and now squandered potential because it got crucified by a player base who didn't even appreciate or understand what it brought to the dying single player rpg genre. I really hope CD doesn't toss this game to the wayside and continues their commitment to it because it is an amazing game.
Honestly I think it's the fucking marketing hype trains fault. I got the game after the 1.5 update patch in a steam sale and I love it, hadn't heard about it before though.
I'm always a sucker for incredibly detailed world building and its unique jargons which elevates the setting completely, and this video highlights those points profoundly. Absolute masterpiece! Keep it up!
A short break between each segment with maybe a slide and a headline woulda been nice, so as to seperate the different topics and make it easier to follow and digest Otherwhise this is very very good, thumbs up.
Am i the only one who finds the constant stream of information refreshing? Too many youtubers talk shit for way too long 😂 i actually kinda like this format
@@Endemoniada It's easy for you to press the pause button when you need a break. It's hard to skip breaks/slow pace when it's already in the video. I like this format.
I just wanna say...your attention to detail is on point. In the Samurai and Johnny Silverhand segment, I love how you distinguished Marines from soldiers. Great video so far! Thank you for this :)
@@oreo2010rip Same here, I feel like to get the best experience in these kind of games you have to at least know the basic lore. And I'm going deep into the Cyberpunk lore.
Exactly, and it’s cool we have a full video on lore. There’s hella videos about lore but it’s all over the place and usually on one aspect of it. Really hard to keep up. I like i can now just watch both these parts in whole to have a full understanding
I never thought that this franchise is at its core a pen and paper game, which makes it even deeper and CDPR potential for adding new content is limitless. Thank you.
it common knowledge to cyberpunk genre fan. CDPR only took the blueprint and change some things here and there. that why most of us fan was pissed bcs they monopolized the name of the genre and the keywords you couldn't found anything about cyberpunk without come across (2013/2020/ and mostly 2077)
I've played a Cyberpunk 2020 campaign in the past, but I got only a thin slice of all this lore. This is incredibly well-compiled, thanks for getting us up to date on the world we're all about to enter!
Great job, man! I'm just in the first 10 minutes and it's incredible work. This game has a really huge background and that's awesome. Means we'll get a lot of stuff in this universe from CDPR in the years ahead. Just finished reading my copy of CP2020. Can't even imagine how they played all that stuff with so many rules on paper sheets. Now it's just the artbook left to read in the remaining days. And here we goooo...
It was tedious and overly complex, but if you had a group more keen on roleplaying than stats and a good GM like I had, it was a blast and a half. A lot of my fondest tabletop rpg memories came from when we ran that, the environment is so much fun to play in
there wasn't much of dicerolling etc. when I played the few games of cyberpunk 20years ago. GM told that he likes to keep it more into conversational because its nicer that way and dice rolling gets tedious.
@Smunstu Stinkymonster no choices matter, there is no immersive experience, its all lies. Games 20 yrs ago had more customization and choice making that mattered.

@Smunstu Stinkymonster exactly how is RDR2 shallow and not immersive? RDR2 is literally thee most real world authentic game on the market imo. Immersive lit is Cyperbunk 1977. Please enlighten me. I really would love to hear this.
This was fantastic. Mike Pondsmith is one of the greatest world builders, up there with Tolkien. The reason I love this universe so much is that it's the most least fictional fiction, the most feasible reality. This piece of art is a warning and a map of the relative path of our current society's future. May the human disease never leave this planet and spread its infection beyond.
@@Xetttt oooh those. I read them but never really understood those books. The writing is way too confusing for me. Gibson is not really my favorite writer. I prefer Phillip K Dick. Having said that, I think Pondsmith has a much more fleshed out world than Gibson.
Extraordinary explanation of the Cyberpunk world! After playing CP77 and watching Edgerunners I wanted to know more about the world and this was way more than what I was expecting. This is why I think there should be a CP77 sequel. The world can tell an infinite number of stories and can implement many of the info in this video as mechanics.
Also, hats off to Mike Pondsmith. This man really did an amazing job coming up with the lore of this game and everything within it. This is some amazing stuff and I think this series is a good counter to Shadowrun. I'm blown away by the lore and how deep everything is. Shadowrun is very deep, too, but I am kind of drawn to this world a bit more intimately. I wish I played the tabletop game with a few friends and went through some instances. I think it would be an amazing experience.
Shoutout to the Trauma Teams because they were portrayed in a very negative light in edgerunners and I think they deserve more respect !Big Spoilers for edgerunners in read more! On another note, what scale of dead is Becca. Asking for a friend. *Huffs Copium*
This video is more introspective about the Cyberpunk lore than the game itself! I absolutely love this video and all t the untapped potential that the Cyberpunk game could adapt from this. I would love to see this universe and aesthetic be flushed out in other mediums and potentially build a movie universe from the background of it.
I knew this was based on something pre existing but I had no idea there was so much already behind it. Words can not express how much I appreciate this deep dive. Subbed and excited to see more.
"The Net" keep making even more and more interested. Might be the favorite aspect of all this universe for me, so much potential and coolness related to it, awesome.
Crazy good video! One of the best things about it is your voice isn't annoying just normal calm and easy to understand. You read the script at a perfect pace and there are no mess ups or stuttering for the whole hour.! Nice
Aww man, this made my day thanks. I was looking for someone to do an organized deep dive into the lore. I would have felt wrong just starting this epic with out knowing more than the basics.
This was a wonderful watch and included so much of the material that fueled my imagination as a teenager. My only disappointment was no mention of Beneath a Steel Sky, but hopefully that's coming in part 2! Fantastic work, thank you.
That would be cool if in hard to find secret locations you can find the guns from Arasaka and Militech from the 2020s that are over powered by the weapon mods💀
Very nicely done, on both the presentation and editing, thank you. I played the old pen & paper RPG back in the late 80s, but had forgotten some key story elements, and never knew any of the events after Cyberpunk 2020. -- As a veteran returning from deployments in central America and Asia, it was easy to connect with a game about a near future where corporations were screwing up the world, and what was left of the government was just giving them cover.
Stumbled across this gem looking for a walkthrough guide. Definitely not displeased. Very good stuff. I had no idea this game was a tabletop RPG and had so much lore. Love the game and love this video series! A+
I'm blown away of how much lore is in this game, on going to have a time playing this game while waiting on next gen consoles to up their gaming library. Appreciate you putting in the hard work and dedication into this video 💯👍
You need to do one of these EVERYDAY until the game launches, I CANT TAKE WAITING ANYMORE. Your videos are the only thing that soothe the pain! 😭😍 Thank you.
The lore sounds interesting and very detailed definitely has me intrigued to play the game . Looking forward to how the lore will be handled in the game
This definitely has to be one of the most thorough lore and history video about a tabletop/video game I have ever seen. This is some great work and I will be watching Part 2 and any other parts as well. Please keep up the amazing research and work because I'm really enjoying it. 👍😌
I cant imagine how long it should have taken you to put this together but my man you got your self a like and sub from this! really loved how in debt this was and was interesting to actually listen to the whole story till the end! hopefully you make another one! keep up the good work!
The world, the lore, the aesthetic this is a whole other level of interesting.. besides 40k this has my full attention! I can’t wait for 2077 to be out.
Awesome content sir. I was reading the world of Cyberpunk 2077 book and I’m glad you added some more info on your channel. What a coincidence from what’s going on in today’s society from the cyberpunk world.

@@irong.4625 Oh you have no idea
Read some ancient literature and shit it gonna blow your mind
Where do you think most writers get their inspirations from
@@irong.4625 I would have to agree
I'm a huge comics fan myself but knowing this thing that actually happened is pretty good while reading history and there are old stories as well which got exaggerated that we call fairy tales that inspire many fictions. I mean it's nice to read but yeah fiction is more immersive
@@irong.4625 lmao im not sure we have had the same 2020 then
Hearing that USA said "Fuck it" and walled off Detroit is the most Detroit thing i've heard.
"detroit is a warzone" sooo nothing's changed then?
Nah, probably in the Cyberpunk universe Detroit is like Afganistan
@@marklems5894 so nothings changed then
can't have nice shit in Detroit
@@buildawall5803 Can't have Shit in Detroit.
Wait a second, they've got cat girls?
No. But it was a good while it lasted! :)
Yes
Ye
Furries......they’ve created furries......
elon musk happy as fuck in the cyberpunk world
I will never understand why this game's bugs overshadow how great of a single player RPG it is. This game was fucking amazing and it's storylines were fantastic. All of the Fallout games and Skyrim were also littered in bugs but they received zero hate, this game had so much more soul and now squandered potential because it got crucified by a player base who didn't even appreciate or understand what it brought to the dying single player rpg genre. I really hope CD doesn't toss this game to the wayside and continues their commitment to it because it is an amazing game.
Honestly I think it's the fucking marketing hype trains fault. I got the game after the 1.5 update patch in a steam sale and I love it, hadn't heard about it before though.
they prob are gonna give up on it. they say this expansion coming up is the last one
@@priscalopez2490 that breaks my heart fr
I'm always a sucker for incredibly detailed world building and its unique jargons which elevates the setting completely, and this video highlights those points profoundly. Absolute masterpiece! Keep it up!
A short break between each segment with maybe a slide and a headline woulda been nice, so as to seperate the different topics and make it easier to follow and digest
Otherwhise this is very very good, thumbs up.
Yea, I'll make the breaks longer next vid
Am i the only one who finds the constant stream of information refreshing? Too many youtubers talk shit for way too long 😂 i actually kinda like this format
@@Endemoniada It's easy for you to press the pause button when you need a break. It's hard to skip breaks/slow pace when it's already in the video. I like this format.
I agree. The video jumps all over the place from subject to subject with no order.
yea like when the subject jumped from guns to gangs it took me a while to realize he wasent talking about guns anymore but gangs
This is better than any lecture class...👏
@Ethan A 👏 Could honestly do a whole paper on this.
Take notes. You'll be quizzed by the end by Neon. You need 2077 points to pass.
@@markable8144 Punishment for failing? ...
...
...Another delay. For you only.
Lets goooo!
true dattt
Indeed. You can imagine how slow time progressed this morning on a lecture about databases when I all I wanted to do is watch this! Lol!
I'm so gutted most of this stuff wasn't in the game. The modified pets, custom cyberware mods and loads of shopping sounds so cool
fr
THIS....this right here is breathtaking
You're breathtaking NeonArcade
wholesome 100?
NO YOUR BREATH TAKING
Yes - this was a great job!
@@typicallystupidperson1273 You're ALL breathtaking!!!
@@High.on.Life_DnB we all are
I just wanna say...your attention to detail is on point. In the Samurai and Johnny Silverhand segment, I love how you distinguished Marines from soldiers. Great video so far! Thank you for this :)
Dude you must have worked so hard on this. By far the best cuberpunk lore available on YT. I’ve watched it numerous times. Thanks!
Took some time : ) Thank you sir!
Oh wow did not expect this, definitely watching everything
Wow, hour long video and only 1 midrol ad (and right at the end too). Much respect for that. Great video too, thanks for catching me up :)
It a shame that most of these cool guns, gangs, cyberwarw wasn't in the game
32:30 so they finally just decided to just put a wall around Detroit lmao 😂 😂 sounds about right
After the androids claimed their independence I’m guessing they must think they’re a threat to humanity 🤣
@@MadaraMK1 good one lol
Represent!
@@julanrios548 We are Alive!
Who else is here before the game comes out, looking to go in with a clear view of the expansive world of Cyberpunk
I've watched and re-watched so many of these hour+ long videos just to get the lore engraved in my brain 🤣 I feel you dawg lol
@@oreo2010rip Same here, I feel like to get the best experience in these kind of games you have to at least know the basic lore. And I'm going deep into the Cyberpunk lore.
Exactly, and it’s cool we have a full video on lore. There’s hella videos about lore but it’s all over the place and usually on one aspect of it. Really hard to keep up. I like i can now just watch both these parts in whole to have a full understanding
lol I played the paperbacks when I was in highschool. I am quite familiar with this. Fun to see a video on it again though.
Well, you got some more time to go into the lore 😂
I never thought that this franchise is at its core a pen and paper game, which makes it even deeper and CDPR potential for adding new content is limitless. Thank you.
it common knowledge to cyberpunk genre fan. CDPR only took the blueprint and change some things here and there.
that why most of us fan was pissed bcs they monopolized the name of the genre and the keywords you couldn't found anything about cyberpunk without come across (2013/2020/ and mostly 2077)
WHOOOOOOOOO YEEEEAAAAAHH BABYYY, THATS WHAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR! THATS WHATS ITS ALL ABOUT!
By the 8 minute mark, the video begins to sound like a vacation-planner; I was almost ready to book a weekend in Night City.
:P
Then u get hit with all the murder and fake food and said nah I think I'm good where I am😂😂😂
They you hook up to a BD you got from some rando on the street. What's it he worst that could happen?
Make sure to pay your burial insurance before!
Your visuals are impeccably spot-on. Great job with this, perfect for us posers that have 2077 preloaded and haven't tasted a drop of the lore.
Yeah, that didn't work out for you, didn't it?
I've played a Cyberpunk 2020 campaign in the past, but I got only a thin slice of all this lore. This is incredibly well-compiled, thanks for getting us up to date on the world we're all about to enter!
Great job, man! I'm just in the first 10 minutes and it's incredible work.
This game has a really huge background and that's awesome. Means we'll get a lot of stuff in this universe from CDPR in the years ahead.
Just finished reading my copy of CP2020. Can't even imagine how they played all that stuff with so many rules on paper sheets.
Now it's just the artbook left to read in the remaining days. And here we goooo...
It was tedious and overly complex, but if you had a group more keen on roleplaying than stats and a good GM like I had, it was a blast and a half. A lot of my fondest tabletop rpg memories came from when we ran that, the environment is so much fun to play in
there wasn't much of dicerolling etc. when I played the few games of cyberpunk 20years ago. GM told that he likes to keep it more into conversational because its nicer that way and dice rolling gets tedious.
oh no.....
@Smunstu Stinkymonster no choices matter, there is no immersive experience, its all lies. Games 20 yrs ago had more customization and choice making that mattered. Kotor for example.
3 paths all the same. Its not even an RPG. You get every ending no matter what you choose, I coukd go on and on, don't get me started on the AI or wanted system, not even a tattoo shop LOL. The NPCs all have throw away lines, CDPR lied to ppl.
See RDR 2 on how to do an immersive game on ps4.
@Smunstu Stinkymonster exactly how is RDR2 shallow and not immersive? RDR2 is literally thee most real world authentic game on the market imo. Immersive lit is Cyperbunk 1977. Please enlighten me. I really would love to hear this.
I find it odd just how many comments are surprised that a 40yo franchise has deep lore. Great vid btw.
Everytime i see something about cyberpunk, it makes me want the release day to get here faster
watching this gets you 1 hour closer to the release date
@@ang77l im gonna put it on loop
Beautiful, I can only imagine when I get my hands on this game.
I'm getting some snacks, that one will take a while!
So, I'm finally getting into the game and came across this masterpiece.
Great job, must have taken hours to put together.
I can't even imagine how much work you put into this. Respect!
This was fantastic.
Mike Pondsmith is one of the greatest world builders, up there with Tolkien.
The reason I love this universe so much is that it's the most least fictional fiction, the most feasible reality. This piece of art is a warning and a map of the relative path of our current society's future. May the human disease never leave this planet and spread its infection beyond.
Yeah, because there isn't a famous cyberpunk book that released 4 years before Cyberpunk 2020 first released at all, right?
You’re one of those huh
@@Xetttt which is?
@@Cubannerd The Neuromancer trilogy
@@Xetttt oooh those. I read them but never really understood those books. The writing is way too confusing for me. Gibson is not really my favorite writer. I prefer Phillip K Dick. Having said that, I think Pondsmith has a much more fleshed out world than Gibson.
Extraordinary explanation of the Cyberpunk world! After playing CP77 and watching Edgerunners I wanted to know more about the world and this was way more than what I was expecting.
This is why I think there should be a CP77 sequel. The world can tell an infinite number of stories and can implement many of the info in this video as mechanics.
I remember playing this when it first came out in 1988, I stopped playing D&D and started getting into this instead.
The level of detail in this world is insane!
Anyone come here after Edgerunners?
Also, hats off to Mike Pondsmith. This man really did an amazing job coming up with the lore of this game and everything within it. This is some amazing stuff and I think this series is a good counter to Shadowrun. I'm blown away by the lore and how deep everything is. Shadowrun is very deep, too, but I am kind of drawn to this world a bit more intimately. I wish I played the tabletop game with a few friends and went through some instances. I think it would be an amazing experience.
Woohoo! Full Lore dive, let's go! Let's go! Had a felling something like this was what you meant when you said you had a big project coming up!
Shoutout to the Trauma Teams because they were portrayed in a very negative light in edgerunners and I think they deserve more respect
!Big Spoilers for edgerunners in read more!
On another note, what scale of dead is Becca. Asking for a friend. *Huffs Copium*
Lol.
Spoilers.
11 on the 10 scale.
Bruh, like .. bruuuuhhhhh (stands and kicks chair back violently and begins a slow clap)
This has to be the fourth time I’ve listened to this. I’m officially hyped.
Yo, this is incredible. You made chapters out of things that are only about a minute long, in a video over an hour long. Rad of you, dude.
Appreciate my man
By far one of the best put together videos I have seen on RUclips.
Me: oh shit, this video this video is over an hour long..
Also me: that video wasnt long enough
This video is more introspective about the Cyberpunk lore than the game itself! I absolutely love this video and all t the untapped potential that the Cyberpunk game could adapt from this. I would love to see this universe and aesthetic be flushed out in other mediums and potentially build a movie universe from the background of it.
I knew this was based on something pre existing but I had no idea there was so much already behind it. Words can not express how much I appreciate this deep dive. Subbed and excited to see more.
"The Net" keep making even more and more interested. Might be the favorite aspect of all this universe for me, so much potential and coolness related to it, awesome.
The amount of work and detail put into every moment was amazing! Good job man!!!
CDPR need to be paying you for making this. Very well done.
Please Pt 2 before Dec 10th?
That’s the plan! And thank you : )
Crazy good video! One of the best things about it is your voice isn't annoying just normal calm and easy to understand. You read the script at a perfect pace and there are no mess ups or stuttering for the whole hour.! Nice
gah damn they gotta add the wolverine blades
You never disappoint Neon, you were the one keeping my hype high all this time.
Your videos always calm down the anticipation, so ready for this game!
Aww man, this made my day thanks. I was looking for someone to do an organized deep dive into the lore. I would have felt wrong just starting this epic with out knowing more than the basics.
This was a wonderful watch and included so much of the material that fueled my imagination as a teenager. My only disappointment was no mention of Beneath a Steel Sky, but hopefully that's coming in part 2! Fantastic work, thank you.
This is exactly what I’ve been wanting thank you so much!
No problem!
That would be cool if in hard to find secret locations you can find the guns from Arasaka and Militech from the 2020s that are over powered by the weapon mods💀
Very nicely done, on both the presentation and editing, thank you. I played the old pen & paper RPG back in the late 80s, but had forgotten some key story elements, and never knew any of the events after Cyberpunk 2020. -- As a veteran returning from deployments in central America and Asia, it was easy to connect with a game about a near future where corporations were screwing up the world, and what was left of the government was just giving them cover.
This right here is why you're the best Cyberpunk youtuber in my opinion
Stumbled across this gem looking for a walkthrough guide. Definitely not displeased. Very good stuff. I had no idea this game was a tabletop RPG and had so much lore. Love the game and love this video series! A+
I'm blown away of how much lore is in this game, on going to have a time playing this game while waiting on next gen consoles to up their gaming library. Appreciate you putting in the hard work and dedication into this video 💯👍
You got fucked didn't you? You believed the fake hype. Now, you know.
You need to do one of these EVERYDAY until the game launches, I CANT TAKE WAITING ANYMORE. Your videos are the only thing that soothe the pain! 😭😍 Thank you.
That shit about the "gang of four" is for real though
We appreciate every second you spent in creating this for us.
You really went off and beyond . Thank you so much for all of this!
Finally!! So excited for this!
These vids got me through the wait for Cyberpunk 2077, as well as work, until I trashed my shoulder.
No freakin way. This is incredible. Ive been so pumped for your big project but I never knew it was something I wanted so much. Great job as always!👍
This video is super well made and very good for people like me that want to learn more about cyberpunk universe
🤣 everybody gangsta til the cyber dolphin stops clicking
Shout-out to Everyone who's watching this instead of doing their homework.
Ayyyy
Do both at the same time lel
The lore sounds interesting and very detailed definitely has me intrigued to play the game . Looking forward to how the lore will be handled in the game
This definitely has to be one of the most thorough lore and history video about a tabletop/video game I have ever seen. This is some great work and I will be watching Part 2 and any other parts as well. Please keep up the amazing research and work because I'm really enjoying it. 👍😌
40k is bigger.
Jesus Christ I'm only 22min into the video and I'm already blown away. This game is going to be dope af.
Watching this and reading "The World of Cyberpunk" Hardcover, I will be a wealth of CP2077 knowledge. Thank you for this video
Glad it was helpful!
I cant imagine how long it should have taken you to put this together but my man you got your self a like and sub from this! really loved how in debt this was and was interesting to actually listen to the whole story till the end! hopefully you make another one! keep up the good work!
The world, the lore, the aesthetic this is a whole other level of interesting.. besides 40k this has my full attention! I can’t wait for 2077 to be out.
when im having dinner and this video shows up : finally a worthy video! my meal will be legendary
Trauma Team needs its own full-season anime. The protagonist owning a cyber-pet allows that portion of the lore to be casually exposed as well.
I come to find out Trauma-Team has its own comic/graphic novel out😍 We still need an anime. And now there's already directional source material😁

Awesome content sir. I was reading the world of Cyberpunk 2077 book and I’m glad you added some more info on your channel. What a coincidence from what’s going on in today’s society from the cyberpunk world. What we are about to play is going to be some what similar of today’s 2020 dark current events from the pandemic and so on.
The big 4 is something I could see happening for sure
