Max0r's the kind of guy who'll say what he wants simply because of how built different he is. Man's not afraid of ANYONE.

[@traphimawari7760]

he is a sentient editing software designed to kill our minds with his epilepsy inducing editing(also a blonde anime loli), he doesn't fear man, man fears him...

[@Titan_TM]

in 2077, V (the main character) has the super natural ability to resist cyberpsychosis. they are probably the most dangerous Solo to ever exist in the cyberpunk universes.

[@redmist6630]

what about john cyberpunk

I mean, V diiiiiid kinda slap adam smasher to death, with a deeldo.

[@joshuaanderson1712]

If we go with the 'everyone has a limit' idea, we can view the amount of 'slots' that V has available for cyberware as their safe limit.

[@Titan_TM]

@@joshuaanderson1712 That's also a good point that I never considered, due to it being a game limitation

[@S.A.F.T.I]

Very proud, Adeptus Mechanicus is stupidly cool. The Prey remake has a mechanic where if you get alien mods you get targeted by the stations defenses, which isn't fun. There aren't many games where upgrades you get change the story in any meaningful way, which is unfortunate. Games really need to either make urgent plots a railroad and make the sidequests postgame or don't throw a sense of urgency at me where there is none.

[@flat-seventh]

prey 2017 isn't a remake but otherwise yeah lol

[@S.A.F.T.I]

@@flat-seventh Remake, Remaster, its some form of revamp of the original Prey from 2003? I want to say? I also want to say that there are a couple games where upgrades reflect on a character(like Fable) just not narratively, if you can tell me any that affect the story then go ahead I'm curious to see how many more there are. I just thought of your eyes changing in Elden Ring when you get Dragon spells or if you inherit the frenzy flame while writing this message, I'm playing through the game for the ninth time I should have thought of that.

[@flat-seventh]

@@S.A.F.T.I it actually isn't related to the original prey at all- the only reason it has that name is because bethesda forced arkane to use it so they could keep the rights :/

[@S.A.F.T.I]

@@flat-seventh Ah shame on me for assuming anything good about Bethesda. Its a 50/50 shot nowadays.

[@Just_A_Random_Desk]

Cyberpunk has improved A LOT since Max0r made his review.

[@ChicagoReacts]

That's good to know. I like it when developers keep working at something if it doesn't go well. It speaks of a really awesome persistence and a respect for their fans that it doesn't seem every studio has.

[@666FallenShadow]

not really tho, most of the issues are with the writing and side quests and night city being dead which are still very much an issue. sure, they fixed some bugs, but that's mostly it

[@mustangbr8074]

Tip for everyone over @ Chicago Reacts, when you use "," and "." instead of the arrows it goes backwards/forwards frame by frame, making it easier to get the single-frame images than going back and trying to pause at the right moment

[@My2Cents.iF7934]

8:29 no, you yourself CANNOT go cyberpsycho for lore reasons. It involves mechanics from the TTRPG, but it basically comes down to a concept called "Humanity". The more humanity a character has, the less risk they have of experiencing cyberpsychosis. David lasted so long without going psychotic because he was raised properly by his mom, and because he had a family to lean on (Maine's crew), giving him a massive pool of such Humanity. In V's case, the reason they don't go psychotic is because you have Johnny inside your head, who is effectively a new person and thus a secondary pool of Humanity to dip into (In 2077, the Relic chip containing Johnny's personality replaces the stat block that would normally represent Humanity, but you have all five other stats your character in the TTRPG would normally have). This is all how I understand the lore and mechanics of the world, do NOT quote me on this. As for your follow-up question, yes there is indeed a game series like that, called Bioshock.

[@imthedude2351]

You pretty much nailed it on the head, according to Mike Pondsmith As that's exactly how he explained why David had so much resistance and why V doesn't go cyberpsycho David had a major well of support and good mental reinforcement from his mother and his friends And V had a man who was already half cyberpsycho in their brain, basically giving them a MASSIVE cushion for any and all hits to their Humanity

[@mickyflint]

plus theyve sorta moved away a little from the humanity score in 2077. they replaced it with the idea that all the normal problems that make people break like ptsd, losing loved ones, and having your business stolen by another larger corp compounded with 2077s society and the strain of alll the cybernetics needed to stay on top whittle away your sanity abelling it cyberpsychosis so that people treat it as a new disease instead of seeing the underlying issues that would cut into profit margins. the earlier humanity system was too simplistic with the rule being the more artifical bits you have the less human you are which doesnt sound good when your saying it to a person who has a glass eye, pacemaker, or prosthetic limb. its kinda like how deus ex hr and deus ex md played around with the idea that people with heavier modification while stronger or smarter would end up being pushed away due to the changes to their bodies.

[@Nymphonomicon]

I'm not sure if appearance of Watame is max0r saying vtuber is now an ethnicity or if sheep is...

[@crustybomb115]

[@harkiratsingh2872]

Toasting you a pint of Bacardi black, for that adeptus mechanics reference

[@thecynic3697]

not going psycho is thr driving point

[@genericscottishchannel1603]

A taxi mod has just been added btw, plus you need mods to obtain vehicles illegally, also some sidequests simply refuse to progress their objectives

[@Kainlarsen]

A Tulpa is basically an imaginary friend for adults who don't know when to walk away from madness. :D

[@schwartzprime3045]

08:40 well technically there's the cyborg from Borderlands the presequel that becomes more metallic the more you upgrade for cybernetics, but it's very minor and everyone is already crazy in the world of borderlands.

[@MsSilentGaming]

Cyberpsychosis was intended to be in the game as a feature, but as the game came out half finished there was only a quest where you fight the psychos but you couldn;t turn in-to one. But modders - god bless them as always - have already made it possible.

[@drexnog1905]

Canonically the creator of the game has said that V (your character) is immune to cyberpsychosis due to essentially having 2 brains and sharing braincells with Johnny silverhand (keanu reeves)

[@MsSilentGaming]

@@drexnog1905 I see, i thought you would have been able to suffer minor psychosis, not the full derangement, i must have missed that with the 2 brains.

[@Tekdruid]

On a tangential note, >observer_ did the whole out of touch with reality thing to chilling effect.

[@ChicagoReacts]

Good for them

[@ChicagoReacts]

@@drexnog1905 I would've thought that two brains thing would have made psychosis more of a possibility

[@Tekdruid]

16:05 Sometimes they make like Baldur's Gate and just start sending groups of roughly three hundred Black Talon mercenaries with infinite fire and ice arrows to tell you to hurry the f██k up with the main plot.

[@LeethLee1]

I really enjoyed my Cyberpunk experience the game is very immersive. And these days I use the VorpX with VR and it's fantastic

[@moviebad109]

I played on release and got close to finishing it before I quit. I picked it back up a few months ago and it was like playing an entirely different game. I had to make a new character becuase I was so happy with how much more stable it was. I had a great time on my second playthrough.

[@hunter5822]

1:59 I believe a tolpa is literally anything created purely through the desire of its existence. Usually a living creature, but I haven’t heard anything saying it can’t be a place, a weapon, etc.

[@mickyflint]

tulpa from what i remember is basically an imaginary freind that can affect the real world the more you believe in it. its like how some stories like warhammer 40k and berserk have belief as its own power even creating or at least strengthening entities like the imperiums sisters of battle, the forces of chaos, and the heart of evil from berserk.

[@mrshadow4007]

If you liked this then you should try *Shammy's "An Actual Review" series.*

[@steelgreyed]

There's a game called Battlestar Gallactica Deadlock, with the original plot line centered around you "trying(?)" to gain control of a map of the 12 colonies. If you follow the sense of urgency, you only have 2 or 3 fleets and you are easily overwhelmed by numbers. I usually have about 120 fleets, with every point of the map covered by multiple variants of every ship available, with my Admiral going, "we can't fight! We must run to Ragnar Anchor!" (me) "so the other 17 Jupiter fleets we just jumped from are garbage?"

[@hermannlagrange803]

Night City is a slightly more pleasant world than Holy Terra from 40k.

[@salthcreative5540]

As someone whos main draws are setting/world-building, art-direction and soundtrack in games I've gotta say I found Cyberpunk one of the better games I've played in a while. Enjoyed it greatly and think it's a shame its almost become a meme to hate on it for some people thanks to its (admittedly very shitty) state at release, though I think just about everything Max0r said here was accurate. Current game on PC was great and the bugs I did run into just had me laughing as opposed to being gamebreaking etc.

[@oggblomskulk]

Can you go cyberpsycho? Im not entirely sure but I sure can turn this entire warehouse full of bad guys into psychos with a click of my brain :D playing a netrunner/int build just goes insane lategame. Most builds do but not even needing weapons feels crazy powerful

[@alzef1375]

Devil Survivor 2 has the mechanic of all actions taking half an hour. This includes battles and talking to characters, with more scenes than the game gives you time for. This is important, because you progress your friendship with them, mostly for the rewards, and so you can recruit them when you choose an ending. So you're forced to juggle the story and interacting with the characters you like, even having the option to choose not to save some of them so the route you want to play will be easier when it comes to fighting the other factions.

[@hunter5822]

12:09 there is police chases now, but it’s still basic.

[@KiloWhiskeyKilo]

Disco Elysium is a game where if some stats are spec'd higher then others it can make certain things much harder for you

[@Richiedoesmc]

The game mentions cyber psychosis but it doesn’t actually exist as a mechanic.

[@minilabyrinth]

You fight a lot of cyberpsychos in the game, they're super beefy boys and move super fast

[@moviebad109]

If only you could become a cyber psycho. That would involve some kind of karma-esque system that the devs don’t seem to want to implement. Well, I say the devs, but I’d be willing to bet the devs WANT to add a system like this, it the executives just want to squeeze more money out of the game.

[@unionblue21]

V, who is your character in game is for story reasons immune to Cyberpsychosis.

[@saltylemon4436]

All they really needed to do to make V seem like he's dying is give him random debuffs during combat, like idk you have a heart attack and some pacemaker in you keeps you alive and during the heart attack your aim is severely shaky and you lose all stamina. Idk something anything that effects gameplay.

[@mickyflint]

theres been a lot of improvements and new content added now. theres even a big dlc on the way so this reveiw is a bit outdated. for example the driving is much better.

[@callsigncoyote7931]

Even when Cyberpunk 2077 was broken I enjoyed the shit out of it. I’ll also re-recommend TAL’s Nostalgia Critic/Channel Awesome series, definitely puts a lot of claims about Doug into question

[@SymmbolZS]

I think Maxor likes the vtuber Watame since shes constantly in his videos

[@wendigochomp4951]

Watching maxor makes me feel like I took crack

[@hunter5822]

8:44 I do believe because of the brain chip in your head your character is effectively immune to cyberpsychosis..... except I think he’s suffering CPychosis, it’s just happening in the form of him seeing silverhand.

[@mynameisd2849]

The game has improved a lot since Max0r's review, so just take it as the review of the game at launch not how it is right now

[@trentthehehim3936]

“Incorrect” review which means the games “ Themes” arent really about all the brain dead commie rehtoric but the PEOPLE. Johnny talks about it during the main quest and his specific side quests. It’s not about the “corporate colonialism” itself, it’s about the people and how after all the corporate propaganda it’s hard to find anyone over the age of 18 WITHOUT augmentations. Even if it’s JUST a kiroshi etc.

[@BonkersJKatt]

They have patched Cyberpunk and it is so much more stable than when it first released. As for cyberpsychosis, there is a mod for the game that will add it in.

[@hunter5822]

6:14 it’s no longer U.S.A. ....it’s CORPO-R.At.... it’s a bad joke but there’s something there that I didn’t quite work out right.

[@khalifabinhendi6107]

I do not drink alcohol, and there is no alcohol in my household. So, is drinking water okay? :)

[@blazeoftherazgrizsquadron9306]

Can you go cyberpsycho? No not really... there are mods that add that aspect in, but generally it doesn't quite work that way primarily adding buffs and debuffs. There are cyberpsychos in the game and they can present a challenge to early starting players; but honestly, they are kinda laughably weak if you know how to cheese the mechanics. The Edgerunners anime kinda overhyped them for the game making then look nearly invincible. Closest I'd say you can go Cyberpsycho in the traditional sense, is deciding that you WANT to by just getting a 4 star wanted level which will spawn in Maxtac officers and you'll hear some combat voicelines from them calling you a cyberpsycho. Unfortunately it's about as close as you can get. Also, he didn't mention it in the video but you the player can choose your backstory from 3 different backgrounds. Streetkid, Corpo, and Nomad. Streetkid is pretty self explanatory, you grew up on the streets and have experience with different gangs and the like. Corpo is almost the same or extremely similar to David's storyline from Edgerunners, except you're WORKING FOR Arasaka rather than attending it's academy. And Nomad is where you leave your clan to run on your own as a merc. But honestly it doesn't matter which one you choose in the end. All it does is give you some unique voice lines choices and maybe 1 or 2 special missions that tie into that backstory you chose.

[@Mordaedil]

You'll be disappointed/happy to know that Keanu Reeves is there to help you not go cyberpsycho by effectively animating your corpse and being more of an AI than a human and you just happen to exist as un-formated data in the same husk of a body. This is information you are told, but you kind of have to properly put together what the hell it means to get to this understanding. Surprised that there's so much Watame in there, but then I remember how annoying his fans are on Watame's chat.

[@ChicagoReacts]

Yikes. No one else has mentioned the whole...Keanu driving your corpse thing. You are right. I am disappointed/happy to hear it, lol
