LastKnownMeal ayo I’m the first comment. GG. Also I hope you have a good play through when you get the game
Difference between lords/vassals and corpos is that the laws of chivalry still played, and families were VERY important being a kinslayer or betrayer was deplorable.
@@haliaxdeldring8561 Fair argument, there was chivalry involved back then but of course even back then there were exceptions and treasons, not like in Cyberpunk, but it still happened.
@@LastKnownMeal the discord link expired fam
we already know regardless of lifepath V ends up as a Merc, and you cant join the corp's or gang's (but you can get them to like you and offer corp/gang stuff).
the 4th corporate war was between arisaka and militech (it ended when militech detonated a nuke on the 120th floor of the arasaka building) jhonny silverhand probably wont like a corpo at the start if you choose corpo what with arisaka kidnapping his gf and forcing her to create/recreate the soulkiller virus, and employing adam smasher who may or may not have killed jhonny's body (things get a bit vague what with a nuke going off around that time).
I'm definitely going for this lifepath. The ambiance looks so oppressive and dark, I kinda want to go for a "destroying the monster from the inside out" kind of badass V.
Meanwhile, I shall play a corpo V who will be doing all he can to get back into the corpo lifestyle, just at the top this time.
@@jasonsmith9968 That's still a pretty cool concept that I will have to try out for myself as well!
Jason Smith im torn between these two styles tbh
I'm going with nomad first, then corpo, then street kid. My own self as nomad, then my 2020 corpo character, then a street kid that i'll run for Cyberpunk Red
Sounds like a good plan Bruh! 🤘
This one is the most interesting to me. It's cool, dark and unique.
I like street kid the best it just looks cool!
@@notjaayy4210 Cool :)
@@notjaayy4210 im gonna end this game 3 times lol. But corpo is first.
@Crazy Cletus that’s never a bad thing it just means more replay ability !
Thank u! This is what I’ve been telling my friends, but nobody stops to consider how cool it could be!
Apparently Jackie and corpo V were childhood friends
How about the Nomad one? they seem like it too
@@SageVTX they meet in a smuggling deal. they try to smuggle a lizard/reptile.
Yeah they only meet to complete a smuggling deal and then become friends after that I’m assuming
Mason Carson they try to smuggle in a real iguana.
How? When they're shown meeting Jackie is holding a gun to V.
I think they said Jackie is a childhood friend of corpo V. So despite his occupation, I guess they remained so. Like if you had a friend working for a company at EA.
That better be a really good friend
@@fidget0227 in a world like cyberpunk, having one less person to watch behind your back is probably a win.
xD
I'm sure corpos do business with mercs too
EA kills him and we decide to leave EA and start working for CDPR
So basically being a corpo is like being in a game of Crusader Kings.
😂😂
Xd@Jack McLean
Lmao ight bet
I hope the corpos are not too evil. I hope there’s more moral greyness
Of course there is but it's crossed often.
listening to Mike Pondsmith talk about the world, he says things like "I'd be a bad Jedi because I don't see things as clearly good and evil" and "you aren't out to save the world, you can maybe save yourself" so assuming some of that was picked up by CDPR, there will probably be plenty of grey within Night City's neon glow.
You say that like street gangs and nomads aren't out murdering and raping in and outside night city.
Think you’d have alittle more trust in the Nomad and Street levels. In Copo can’t trust anyone, just a feeling. Nomads need each other to survive in badlands. Where in copo, you can have a lot more independency with money, street kid will probably have a similar level as the nomads but alittle more cut throat. Iduno maaaa
Expect a lot more evil though. The Cyberpunk world is practically defined by how shitty everything is.
usually when games like this have different start paths i usually only really like one but with this game all 3 are super interesting. I DONT KNOW WHICH TO PICK!!!!!
For me : Nomad
I’m picking Corpo cause they kinda evil
@@skifhimmelstern9035 yeah that’s true I’m jus curious how the 6 month time skip would work for nomad
@@UnknownEX0 oooo sounds interesting
Jake Ryan lol I wish
Not sure if this show aired in Europe, but there was a spy drama/comedy show called Burn Notice in the late 00s, whose narrative reminds me much of the Corpo life path. It's about a counter-intel spy who gets burned (wiped job history, no credit, loss of contacts), and takes odd jobs around a city with his friends to generate cash- so he can continue his investigation into why he was burned. Each episode even operates like a fun sidequest in an RPG, and each season of the show forwards the main plot. It might be worth watching to generate story ideas for your Corpo characters, plus its just a fun show.
Thanks for the continued content and great videos, your dedication is appreciated.
Thanks for watching, I will check out that show.
Burn notice is a good show.
I have not heard that name for a very long time, such a great show. Underrated gem
Going for the Good Corpo trying to redeem herself and destroy the Arasaka
for some reason I read Arasaka as Nebraska...
Yeah, as a Corpo, I'll try to be as pacifist as possible, but I'll kill only as necessary. If I played as Street, I would kill anyone who shoots at me without hesitation. If I played Nomad, *everyone* is getting a bullet.
This will be my type of play style too
F that...field operative that scaled the security ranks and was double crossed.
Burn it to the ground with all of them inside.
@@rm5715 that’s what I’m going to do. They double crossed me and for that I want to end the world with the rogue AI’s. Destroying netwatch and corpo’s making a new era.
I love this dude's accent
I am really good with accents but I am not sure where his is from. My guess is Sweden.
@@MarekUtd You're wrong he is from Bosnia
ROOSHEN 🇷🇺
Saammeee
@@SkweezMe Bosnian
I feel like I’m dreaming that we’re this close to the Cyberpunk coming out and I’m scared that I’m going to wake up and it’s back to when we got to see the E3 gameplay for the first time....
Well you're in for a surprise...
Oh shit he found out 😳
“Oh hey, you’re finally awake”
You were trying to cross the border? Walked right into that imperial ambush, like us and that thief over there.
@Trey Maddox well aint you a ray of sunshine
Meredith... wait a little longer baby just one more month to go
Patience brothers, patience. Because on the evening of November 19 ,we become gods, nasty nasty gods.
- Feel like the Mob 🤧💯
Little cringe, but good intentions tho.
@@cherblairbear 😂🤦🏾♂️
I'm nasty boy, nasty nasty boy, am big boss man.
I love this hype.
Meredith, my love, Here I come. Just a little over month to go.
😂😂😂
joke on you she is into nomad guys
@@sillylittlesheepjax6009 I'm not sure about that, she despises the lower classes and everyone outside of her league, I guess she will only favor corpo V.
@@MasterRaven0707 and u get all of that from 3 min we talk with her lmao imagination running Wild
@@sillylittlesheepjax6009 Not imagination, but according to the information that I could find about her and corporations in general in and lore in this world, it is not difficult to make an assumption how they relate to ordinary people and people from the bottom and mind you, I did not write that this is one hundred percent true , but just my guess.
Now, the game finally released, and none of this matters. The Corpo life path is completely gone from the game after the intro. So sad.
Why does Corpo sound like feudalism but with extra steps.
🤣🤣
That's what plutocracy is
You mean...cyberpunk steps.
Because it is 😂😂😂
First. Corporates are corrupt. Second. Corporates are power hungry. Third. Corporates are jerks.
dumb
LOTS OF CAZUALTIEZ no u
@@Vencidious hah u changed it lol
LOTS OF CAZUALTIEZ I comment, then edit it
@@Vencidious yeah, buts its even dumber now Lol, because we already know that
I’m starting as a Corpo. I just haven’t decided if I will play as an evil bastard or as a guy trying to reform himself. I don’t want to be some evil killer. Might just align along chaotic good or chaotic neutral.
I was thinking about lawful good but not sure how to implement this in the game lol So Chaotic good seems like a safe bet 👍👍
Eli King Are you asking because of the old D&D alignments? I’ll never tell. Not a big table top guy but I always love those descriptions. Most rpg video games are either black or white and don’t give the best rewards for being nuanced.
Maya BShell It does seem that in this type of world it will be hard to be that good. Some missions may put you in a predicament to choose the less of two evils. Although they said you can fail missions. Maybe you can fail the mission to uphold your character’s honor. And you can trick your character out with non lethal alternatives. That would be an interesting play through and challenging.
@@UlyssesDrax I love d&d games and I was born in the early 2000 but I am kinda different than most kids my age.
I was about to sleep as it's 1:08 AM right now but saw this and just HAD to click. Now my fast forward of being 8 hrs closer to Nov. 19 has been delayed by 9 minutes and 11 seconds 😔
Definitely going to do this one first. As a person, I identify with Nomad V way stronger, but it seems like Corpo background can definitely benefit the story. There is just something about the personal stakes that V could have when going after Arasaka, not only that, but how his/her relationships with Johny Silverhand can play out. I also hope that the game will allow me to go full paranoiac about every single thing and person while role playing as an ex counter-intelligence corp
Corpos is going to be the last life path I pick nomad is first because as both the player and V is new to nightcity
That makes sense since Nomads are completely new to the city just like we are
@@a.g.m8790 yup and plus I want to see the bad lands and explore before doing any missions
I was thinking the same
I’m 100% going Corpo from the outset.
@@Blvck0ne well good luck
This will be my first playthrough path
Corporate espionage with synth atmospheric music in a Cyberpunk world... Yes! Inject this into my veins!!
All the "megacorps" right now are all colluding. Facebook, Twitter, RUclips.
After the 1.5 Patch I finally bought it for my Series X. Love the world they created, everything running great. Waiting a year to play it was worth the wait.
You guys NEED to check out Akudama Drive its a new Cyberpunk anime that just came out only 1 episode so far but it was amazing, its like 2077 but in Japan has similar over the top style
Morale of the story, Sith Empire culture gotcha
Sith empire, but with more ads and business transactions, also without a Jedi faction to distract them.
Corpo: Microsoft Vs Sony
Street Kid: Blood Vs Crip
Nomand: Hill.....Billy..........???
Nomad: mad max
Oligarchy is the word that you look for. Monarchy isn't exactly that you what you said, but I understand that you used it as some sort of metaphor :)
Similar, but yeah you got the point.
3:25 I was shocked when I realized that car door just clamp V finger lol
the fact that you used a medieval hierarchy analogy to explain social classes in Night City is fascinating
I'll do whatever Meredith wants.
simp
simp detected
Corpos seem interesting on the outside but really it just seems like The Office but with murder
boss is smiling: uh oh, here comes some chaos.
Your Cyberpunk lore videos are so well done that I picked up Cyberpunk 2020 to play with my friends before 2077 comes out.
I'm going with anti-villain corpo V. I have to survive until the release date!
Definitely playing this one. Most games, especially in the Cyberpunk genre, don't seem to delve into high-corporate life. Probably because it's not seen as "underdog". This would be a very refreshing experience.
This is a good. It helps people understand what life path they want to choose.
Thanks! I tried to explain as best as I could, glad people like it.
I've been binging on lore since I first heard about Cyberpunk 2077. 😻 It's just helped me get more hyped.
This game has so much to it I can’t wait
The corpo life path reads "Trust No One" I wanna be able to trust Jackie tho :'(
Jhonny won't trust you. he has a bit of a grudge against arisaka what with the whole thing around arisaka, his girlfriend, and the soulkiller (net virus)
@@BatalionHunter Sure, but at least he'll have something in common with V, a mutual enemy. Don't forget that corporate V is left for dead and completely stripped by Arasaka, so chances are corpo V will want to take them down just as much as Johnny, even if they won't like each other. I have a feeling Johnny won't like anybody from the start anyway.
This guy has brought me joy since march
I was already leaning towards Corpo but this confirmed it. Great and informative vid
A good way to look onto the power dynamic of a free-lance mercenary and what it means to topple the king-on-top is to look at Far Cry 2. As an expat mercenary in a destabilized country you find work among opposing factions, taking each job no matter the side and helping the few mercenary friends you have do the same. Always having a target on your back. The factions choose you to fight the other side because in the cease-fire you have plausible deniability. As each mission passes the objective becomes more and more damaging to the other side, and the country as a whole. Local leaders giving the contracts will command the player to destroy crops, burn fuel depots, and destroy medicine on the smallest of whims to stay in control and continue the war.
Then one local leader will tell you to assassinate the other. Once you do so they'll send a kill-team to ambush you. All in an effort to get what they want with no loose ends. Once you became a big enough problem both sides will "join forces" to come after you and all your other mercenaries, pinning the war on everyone except themselves. It is as cutthroat as it comes. Yesterday's lieutenant is now the new local leader, and he will tell you to assassinate the opposing local leader that you just put in power. The cycle continues all over again. When both sides join forces or start a cease-fire they'll do it just to make it look like peace-talks to turn the eyes of the world away before they continue the fighting. Any grunt you kill will be replaced, any leader you topple will have the next in line ready for their turn to commit a war crime, any friends you make of the mercenary bunch just like you may leave you for dead or turn on you once the odds stack in their favor. Ultimately everyone's looting and burning the country down not to get their share, but to get the lions share.
Even if V eliminates the lowest of scabs to the highest gang leader, even Arisaka himself it will only create a vacuum for the worse and put a bigger target on V's back. In a city where everyone is arming themselves to the teeth, wearing the flashiest attire, killing or scheming their way to the top; the only way move is up or fall off the cliff entirely. I wonder, what could V possibly do short of another Arasaka nuke that would change anything? If even for 50 years before it starts all over again?
The script is so creatively made and entertaining. Good job
Me: I am gonna play it when it comes up
My PC: NÖ
Thank you , exactly the video i was looking for
Thanks for watching!
I like your videos dude since I'm new the cyberpunk lore your videos give me a good comprehensive look at the backstory roles(factions)
wow, this video was actually amazing, the music, the editing.. loved it
Awesome video like always bro! 🤘 Definitely solidifies my want to Corpo first playthrough.
hey lkm im back, love the content, about time, corpo will be my last play thru, and im gonna watch ncw 4 here :)
btw when im not here immediatly its because im on my xbox watching :)
Welcome back!
@@LastKnownMeal thx
I didn't expect the "Anarcho-Capitalists are feudalists" bit of analysis, but it's cool that you know what's up.
If I choose the Corpo lifepath, I’m still a criminal the only thing is that I wear a suit while doing.
this will be my 3rd playthough
Great video and life path breakdown. Got yourself a new subscriber.
I find it very funny how cops hate you but need you to clean up the streets when you officially become a merc
Can't wait to play corpo 1st run through!
Great explanation as always!
Is it just me or does Cyberpunks depth with choices altering the story remind me a lot of telltale games main draw.
To be honest a choice system like telltales thrown into an open-world game is one of the main draws for me.
I LIVE for dystopia. Corpos epitomize this kind of world, which is why I'm going Corpo first. I hope I can get a stringent apartment overlooking the dark, neon-lit city.
I'm not sure how the corpo story is going to play out, but I really want to play a hacker/stealth corpo that gets betrayed by the company and is out for revenge
If one thing dystopian futures has taught me is that corporations and people no matter how powerful they get should always be held accountable for their actions, to the people.
The Corpo lifestyle definitely has more of a Blade Runner vibe imo, not to say that the other two paths are any less appealing; I'm sensing like a Mad Max for the Nomad.
Whilst each path will eventually end up on the same narrative line, It's going to be very interesting to see how different the motivations are for V based on his/hers background preference.
I think a Corpo stealth assassin build will be my second playthrough.
5:33 the corpos sound a bit like the mafia
I'm definitely rolling Corpo
Your analogy with kings obeying no laws can work only in your vision of medieval times. The way it was perceived at least in theory in those times was that there are two things above the king. The God and the crown. You see the crown was not a symbol of power. The crow was above the king, it was the symbol of him serving the land and peopole he's ruling and protecting. His duty to divide food and resources among all people living there and his duty to protect them in war. If he was unable to do these things the kingdom would fall or at least he would
Corpo life path is The most interesting path! Unlike nomad and street kid who i think just caught in the middle of corpo vs gangs bs .. Corpo V , is vengeance life path , with the help of Nomad and Street gangs .. i hope the story is like this ..
I actually want to play this lifepath because it will give me catharsis when I compare it to my office job IRL
High tech feudalism is a nice way to explain it.
1:54 hI siSTeRs
Field operative that scaled the security ranks before being double crossed.
Cold. Hard. Revenge.
Can’t wait to play as Corpo
I just finished with street punk now its time to be Corpo
is it worth it
We all hat games where we start in the hood (street kid life path) and games where you start as the outsider (nomad life path) but the corpo life path seems like the most unique choice to me...
Cyberpunk foretold the Corporate Wars. The year is 2020 and it's the battle of Sony vs. Microsoft.
Think Imma do the first play through as the nomad that goes to the city then RP the 2nd play through as the nomads street kid, then the last playthrough as the street kids now much richer corpo kid.
My first playthrough is going to be a corpo net runner that is all about stealth
Too excited for this game.
After Arosaka fires me, im switching to mili-tech
Going for a Corpo who wants two things money and power. Basically David Xanatos.
cant believe its so close to release. Been waiting on and off since its announcement. It looks to be like a game thats going to raise the standards big time and studios are probably not happy about that lol.
Has anybody noticed the paralells between the last supper form Da Vinci and the artwork from Cyberpunk Red? A lot of similarities
Im going for this one and then hopefully can accumulate street knowledge and connections before going back to the corpo top.
My first playthrough would be corpo hehehe
As a corpo, I feel like I'll be like judge dredd, adam jensen and christain bale in equilibrium. A hired merc guard to take out the top people at big corporations
How to be a mega corporation?
ME: create a cyber virus
Like the content but ngl literally subbed for the accent!
Haha thanks!
@@LastKnownMeal You're welcome! :D
after a year gone by, due to how you explained things and expectations, they really didn't fulfill a lot, it almost feels like the game should have been 3 different storylines except we all take the same story, a handful of different endings, and side quests that are hit or miss for some
Cyberpunk: Forever
I created a character in Cyberpunk 2020.
My character is a doctor (not a ripperdoc, a genuine doctor) who lost everything because he treated a little girl whose family is from the slums over a extremely wealthy client.
see you in ncw episode 4 brother
I wonder if trading stonks in the stockmarket will be available to all lifepaths 🤔 in GTA 5 that was a main way of making money in the endgame, after all the big heists were done: you'd have a tip about how some side missions will change the stonks so you can do some extra savvy investing, and if you wait until later in the game it really multiplies well. another area of the game which shouod be fun to mod!
Nomad is for me as I will be spending alot of time in the Badlands
Thanks for the vid ! Any plans for a lore video of Militec ?
I wonder if you can make an identical jackie
Hey, if anybody's in the mood for a great CP Corpo novel, I highly recommend "Market Forces" by Richard K. Morgan (Best known for the "Altered Carbon" books). Really gets you in the mood!😎
corpo lifestyle is similar to investment banking in terms of the hierarchy
8:02 Because he was a childhood friend
Even before i see this video i decided to make corp my first path, mainly because eveyones going streetkid and nomad first
I'm getting the same vibe from corpo as i do from imperial agent in swtor
