    5:07 I'm so happy, this proves that the theory of Alt being a rouge AI with no emotions was wrong.

    • @garrett2439
      @garrett2439 21 день назад +2

      Nope, the being that is referred to as Alt by the game is indeed a rogue AI, but one that has some humanity and emotions because it came into contact with a fragment of Alt's engram, and either absorbed it into itself, or just studied it in great depth.

    Each playthrough normally takes too much time for me to remember and spot the differences. Thanks for doing this, makes me appreciate what I thought was of no consequences and skipped like since 3rd time around.
    Hopefully they make this aspect of the game more pronounced too when 2.0 drops.

    Small detail worth mentioning about the Guinea Pig and Olive Branch gigs, in order to unlock the dialogue with the corpo in the trunk, you have to talk to the receptionist in the hotel before disposing of Koch (my favorite way is also sending her through the flying trash bin).
    I don't know why they incorporated this little interaction as a trigger since it doesn't provide any more informations about Koch experiment on the nomad clan

    @deepfriedicecream576 Год назад +16

    one thing i learned after putting 500 hours into this game is just how deep and complex the narrative can get. people talked about how this game does not have any choice and consequence, that the prologue is as deep as it gets. and from a gameplay perspective sure, that is true. the maelstrom compound can vary wildly with seemingly instant consequence to action, but the rest of this game is a slow burn that rewards the player for paying attention to what they are doing. i don't think i played a game that can feel so different depending on how you talk to people. New Vegas comes to mind first because its my favorite rpg ever, but even in that game, you are kinda railroaded into 4 different endings, and the second battle for Hoover Dam is only plays different depending on if sided with the Legion or not. However New Vegas narrative strength comes from world building and a larger almost silent narrative locked behind exploration and terminals and the opinions of citizens that will be affected by who governs the region. Cyberpunks narrative I think is way more relationship based. Depending on how you treat people, you can strongly influence the character of V. You may not get to change the world like you can in New Vegas, but you can change the lives of the people you come across in many meaningful ways. I think that's really powerful and I think Cyberpunk delivered the best narrative in 2020, and I hope they can give us a very ambitious story in 2023, keeping its very strong themes.
    keep in mind, im kinda stupid, and a lot of the time stories can fly right over my head because i get lost in my own deconstruction of the narrative being told, but i think that's the beauty of storytelling. it can mean so many different things based on your current perspective of the world and yourself.

    Speaking of leaving during quests, Down on the Street, do not ride with Takemura and you can find both a poster on a wall and an npc that tells you about a comedian that looks just like Takemura and you get to insult Takemura several times during the following missions and he takes it and finally starts to say the comedian's line for himself. It only happened once and I am starting to wonder if the other quests where you can ride along have extra things if you do not ride with Judy or Panam as well.

    Now I really need a "quest order" type list so I can see which to do first, or specific ones to do before others. So many influence others, and not always in the obvious order of progression through the story. I love how interconnected gigs can be in this game.

      I've played through the game entirely multiple times, explored for hours, never looked up spoilers, never did anything like that in my first playthroughs.
      However, now that I've seen almost everything the game has to offer (or HAD, since I have to catch up with new content now), I was curious about any content I'd accidentally missed or locked myself out of.
      The roller coaster, for instance. You get a marker for it before the initial mission with the guys trying to get it up and running becomes unavailable, but I never even set foot in Pacifica until it was long gone. I still got it running, but the people weren't there.

    @triniysan4610 Год назад +5

    It’s cool you brought up some of this, there’s a lot, and I do mean a LOT of different dialogues that play depending on players choices and what they say. A good example is Panams quest and what you can do there. There’s the obvious of do you go after Nash and such but that choice dose affect a little more then just the bar scene (which in it self has a few extra options if you are a nomad and if you are flirting with her ;D) If you don’t go after Nash when you meet with panam she will say that she’s fixing up a few bullet holes, if you don’t she will simply say she’s tuning it up. Moving onto the convo the direction with Nash can influence what panam says to you if you disagree in the decision of killing the pilot. If you’ve helped with Nash, she will be a little more understanding of you reasoning but still remain firm in her belief. If you didn’t help, she throws it in your face that you didn’t help her if you are in anyway hostile. You can also just skip this scene and go right to the station and you won’t be able to get scorpions bike. Anywho- If you keep it up with panam you can disagree or agree with her and Saul, once again you can agree with panam as a nomad, or disagree with her as a nomad and give some generally good points for either or. Nash comes back again if you decide to help her and at the train station you two can talk about why you didn’t help with Nash. And what’s funny is that Nash will show up in the tank mission if you don’t kill him or seek him out.
    This is just with panam, Judy has similar and I’d say deeper branches in dialogue but I’m lazy. So to anyone who has been reading this try some extra different DIALOGUE approaches you might be surprised by what changes :D

Another interaction not mentioned in the video is the fact that Tiny Mike and Big Pete are brothers and if you save Tiny Mike first, Big Pete will refer to that. After dealing with Big Pete you can then talk to Tiny Mike in the Afterlife about his brother.

    I finally decided to get these achievements for all the endings (cept takemura’s, gotta do a whole new playthrough, still working on that) and realized just how varied all the dialogue is, even with the same level of friendship with Johnny. So many reloaded checkpoints, just to see what it’d do. Telling V you’re gonna leave, even through she wants you to stay, and then last second deciding to stay was something I tried and for all the options with him taking over, it felt the most fitting. And every ending cept the Sun made me cry (you’re telling me V wasn’t at all open with Judy or Panam after the shit she just went through? Don’t care about being a legend if the call I get at the end just makes me feel like I wasted the time I had left) This game is deep, and the effects it had on me run deep.

    If you said yes to Johnny's will you take a bullet for me questing but said "nice gesture, but you can't give me something I already have" in the follow up dialog the plan would be for V to keep the body, Johnny will object in Mikoshi if you cross the bridge as V and V will object if you return to the body as Johnny.

    I mean alt's not really alt (it's rogue AI captured part of soulkilled alt's engram which has been done by Spider, thus lacking a lot of personality and reason it states alt is no more, and last convo with Johnny will be very awkward only saying “Yes” and very partial memory and sensation of her past.
    Many people overlook this difference (it's sorta minor for the gameplay but it's pretty big lore wise)
    and yea PL can expand on so many many quests and characters. I really do hope there are more branches and new gigs, new connections.

    With the River questline there is an additional out come where River ends up in a prison jump suit. I'm unsure of how I got it but it might have been something like helping him but give negative responses during the quests. At the end when he says he is going to kill Peter Pan you gotta give the response that you want no part in it. He essentially gets caught. Its been a long time since I played the game in detail. But I know this option is there.

Why bother with a nonlethal system if it's just some gimmick that's entirely meaningless outside of a handful of quests? When nonlethal is of any relevance to an event like Maiko Maeda's fight, or the cyber-psychos that require nonlethal, it's easily bypassed when you can slice-and-dice with a katana, (or just about *any lethal weapon* for that matter) just to finish a 1% enemy with a punch. It was poorly implemented, and that's not me expecting the game to "do everything from every game all at once". It's expecting them to do the things they include well.

      @@ImSodaLirious It's actually worse: most (not all for some reason) psychos/bosses are always knocked unconscious on depleting their health, meaning you don't even need to intentionally engage with the lethality mechanic where it IS relevant. And, if you for whatever reason do kill the cyberpsychos after neutralizing them, it doesn't affect the quest reward anyway. Killing Maiko doesn't affect the Judy romance outside of one bit of dialogue, and Oda only has a small part in the final mission if he's spared. The non-lethal mechanics are almost entirely pointless.
