    I have a theory on Maine, the trigger for his Cyberpsychosis. Notice how his hand was shaking when he found Sasha. I want to say that was the trigger that started it. He managed to keep it under control until David stumbled upon the Sandevistan. Thus igniting the fuse, had he actually gotten the Sandevistan, it would’ve been exactly how James Norris died when David was watching the XBD in the first episode.

    • @secondaryfront
      @secondaryfront 5 месяцев назад +30

      He had so many pottential triggers that it's impossible to determine: glitching arm canon, overusing antisupresants, Jim Kurosaki's EMP that targeted neural implants, death of Pillar few days earier, stress caused by disastrous ongoing gig for Faraday and finaly what you said.

    • @LayedBackGamers
      @LayedBackGamers  5 месяцев назад +44

      I think a huge part of his psychosis, is PTSD from being in the NUSA Spec Ops. Not only was he just in a harsh environment, but actively forced to kill innocents

    • @JohnnySilverwrench
      @JohnnySilverwrench 5 месяцев назад +6

      We seem to forget a lot of our favorite chooms have PTSD abandonment or literally bat shit crazy issues usually caused by a horrific scenario of events caused by a major corporation or someone trying to stand up and do the right thing....the tragedies that have taken in night city are supposed to serve as warning 😂 they kinda tell you in the beginning of the game right when you visit Vic that your fucked cough cough funny that you had a virus since the beginning of the game that supposedly Vic got rid of during the first Sandra mission....just saying download program (the link up V did to Sandra) then the install (soul killer/the engram)....I think theres more behind it especially since vic kept insisteing for you to "go settle this thing" and funny blue eyes aupported all most everyone of your major heist....js theres something deeper....

    • @EvilHomer101
      @EvilHomer101 5 месяцев назад +11

      ​@JohnnySilverwrench you can be hacked triggering a form of cyberpychosis. Pondsmith has explained at length that "true" cyberpsychosis is a limit on a sliding scale that is a person's tolerance to it. Through differing physical and mental traits what may cause one person to turn will not another one.

    I've got to say, Lucy's backstory is even more tragic now. She was one of the few people who was living a genuinely happy life in Cyberpunk until she learns that her father is a proud war criminal. Then, when she rebels thanks to that info her family effectively sells her off to an Arasaka Old Net operation. U mean come on, there's no way they didn't know how horrifically dangerous it was for her to be there. Even though her story still didn't end all that happily. Something tells me sge made the right choice to flee whenever her mother was close to zeroing in on her.

  • @jethrodark2372
    @jethrodark2372 5 месяцев назад +12

    I truely believe the reason David went Cyberpsycho was because his humanity took a nosedive, not necessarily do all the chrome. First he lost his mother and you can see him laugh randomly for no reason, until he met Lucy and then the gang. After that he attached himself to Maine and Lucy. Maine became a replacment parent for his mother. That made his humanity go up again, then Maine dies which lowers his humanity. So now all he has left is Lucy, which stays distant and takes a hiatus from the gang because she is trying to protect him(because she loves him).
    Unfortunately he doesn't know this so he gets depressed and his humanity lowers even more, because he thinks she might be falling out of love with him or thinking of leaving him. So now his humanity gets so low he don't have enough humanity to support the chome he has.
    What convinces me this might be true, is that in the end scene when Lucy kisses him he pops back like he never had cyberpsychosis.

    Cyberpunk 2077 lore is amazing the stories told w/in stories is simply captivating reminds me of old WH40k just a bit. In modern times an Actual Story is rare especially these stories that are told in these mediums. They truly touch your soul, and makes you think about hard truths, you cry / scream or even more importantly just like a BD lets you escape from your reality even if its just for a wee bit. I play CP 2077 almost weekly, the same w/ RDR2 which I play monthly.

    I was playing an A.I. Cyberpunk themed rpg, and Adam Smasher and some Arasaka goons where sniffing around Aldo's warehouse,
    looking for some weird tech the Edgerunners got their hand on, and to help them get away I approached Adam Smasher and challenged him to basketball.
    He surprisingly accepted, and completely destroyed my at basketball, but then we talked about the weird tech, and he dragged me along the wild goose chase I sent him on.
    Adam Smasher is a beast at basketball, I thought it was pretty funny, even though it was out of character.
    ~
    On March 26th 2022,
    just past midnight,
    I was restless in bed,
    my limbs became numb & tingly,
    my chest became tight,
    & my heart felt like it was being crushed.
    So I sang out to God and Jesus,
    about my pain, my feelings,
    my faults and my inabilities.

    As I sang, I began to feel like a river,
    & a hand was on my back,
    it's fingers where skimming the surface of the waters,
    separating the waters,
    causing ripples through my body.
    Then the hand reached inside my chest,
    lit my heart on fire,
    & the heat moved like waves through my body.
    When I was done singing,
    all the pain was gone,
    & I looked at the clock,
    it was past 1am,
    I had sang near an hour.

    Then the voice of my guardian angel called my name from above,
    & there was a hymn of energy in the air,
    the same hymn I hear in my dreams of God.
    Glory, Honor, blessings, thanks and praise to the Lord my God,
    for healing my heart during a heart attack!
    Hallelujah to the Lord my God for healing my heart!
    Hallelujah for His son Jesus for saving my soul!
    Hallelujah for every day!
    Hallelujah for every breath!
    The Lord is Faithful and true!
    May the Lord Bless your hearts,
    so that you have the will and strength to turn from selfish sins,
    and flee from the slaveries of the flesh!

    I have a lil theory about how the cyberpunk story could play out in the future. Biotecnica. pretty much in Arasakas back pocket and has deals with Militech. What if the Relic and soulkiller is just the beginning of Arasakas and Saboros plans to extend life through uploading engrams to bioenginered human body's with possibly brain and nervous system combined with the engram placed into a new synthetic body.
    Could be an interesting take for a sequel game to wake up as the first person to survive successfully uploading an engram to a bioenginered enhanced human body. Also gives a perfect scapegoat for using a ton of cyberware and not going cyberpsycho. And an interesting setup for David Martinez to return as a Adam Smasher like boss under Arasaka control since technically your character and David would be property and memory blocked to a degree.
