Watching this series made me realize how much of a cyberpunk fan I was without even knowing it.

[@hairyviking6047]

Me too! I was always a fan of the genre but never knew it as cyberpunk. Blade Runner, Running Man, RoboCop, Total Recall, Ghost In The Shell, etc. all appealed to me, but I never linked the deeper themes.

@@pixelcount350 Nah. They got their money. And it really only failed in the eyes of the low-brow "I want scifi GTA people" who didn't seem to comprehend it was an RPG. The real Cyberpunk fans still like it for the deeper things beneath the surface, like narrative, writing, themes, atmosphere.

Holy crap, dude. This trilogy has basically covered my childhood interests then gone all the way up to now. My kids (24 and 21) have taken an interest in the things I was into growing up, getting more of a taste for cyberpunk the more I showed them. Last year's game didn't hurt either. But this trilogy has been an amazing resource, opening up their reading and movie experiences in a major way. The nostalgia trip for me has been 2nd to none as well, fyi. THANKYOU! PS I know I should have put this at the end of part 3, but just rewatched this again!

[@wraith8323]

Amen to that, mid-40s and watching this was like a chronicling of my love of cyberpunk from mid-80s through present day. That said, there are more than a few 'new to me' games and films I will watch due to this series, and a ton of context and subtext of which I was unaware for so many films I've watched to the point of knowing every line. 10/10 the best thing I've come across on KZbin in years

[@IceQueen975]

Okay, when you mentioned for the Ghost in the Shell movie that the composer based the opening music on Bulgarian choir I physically started. No one ever acknowledges our existence in the West so the fact that you knew this (cause of your research) just makes me really really happy. Thank you. Fun fact: they did try to have a Bulgarian choir sing the song but they turned it down because they were confused/couldn't sing it in the language they asked.

[@chupasaurus]

AFAIK the problem was the choir had been denied the visas.

[@narrowistheway77]

Northeast of Greece, I assure you we know who you are in the west. We just rarely visit because Greece and Turkey are more convenient flight routes and the history in those two appeal to us more than Bulgarian sites do. That said though, I find it pretty cool how your nation basically could have conquered Eastern Rome at one point but preferred working as mercenaries for them and keeping to their own turf instead 😉👍🏼

[@nerdSlayerstudioss]

It's shocking how much you feel the post-modernism dripping off of anything Cyberpunk. This desire to escape the current life, to a future no matter how flawed (due to human nature or continuing issues). Everything was cleanly organized, and I really enjoyed the Ghost in the Shell segment. Quality video as always Indigo congrats on getting this thing out. Now MMO developers pls watch these and make a cyberpunk MMO, thanks!

[@vulture8298]

Who in their right mind would want to live in any of cyberpunk-worlds? 90% are dystopias and life there just sucks, hard. Sure, if you were an ultra-wealthy corporate-tool that might work out alright, but in what world wouldn't it? For the rest you are either practically a modern work-slave, or part of the violent underbelly of society _(the punk part)_ It's the same like most mediaeval reenacters told me: The middle ages were cool and all, but you wouldn't want to live there for more than a weekend. Same principal applies here.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Yeah there hasn't been too many cyberpunk MMOs, have there? You could argue Anarchy Online, The Matrix Online and Neocron. All had their issues, but I want to dig into them a bit in future episodes.

[@tiggurai]

@@vulture8298 Already the same now, just without the cool gudgets.

[@vulture8298]

@@Scytha86 Oh yeah, we are already 100% in the beginning years of a cyberpunk-dystopia, the stuff that gets skimped over in most forewords within a few sentences. The main differences currently are: • We lack really strong, yet small power sources necessary to run cybernetics like in CP2077 _(we can already run simple once for a day or so)_ • We lack really sophisticated neurological interfaces to connect cyberware and software to our brains • We don't have open warzones _(yet)_ were police wont help you and you *have* to carry guns just to survive the day, think Mogadishu in the 90s at its worst, just on an almost global scale There are of course more differences, but our present wouldn't look out of place as a recent past in most cyberpunk-works.

Thanks, so happy you enjoyed! I fell in love with that song as soon as I heard it, and later realized it would be an excellent bridge between the 80's and 90's of cyberpunk.

[@BubblegumCrash332]

This is like a roll call of all the movies I would rent from my local rental store back in the day. Man I miss the early 90s. For me the mother of all cyberpunk stories crested when Ghost in the Shell came out. For such a short film, it's scenes and characters lived in my head for years.

[@TheEnfo]

A good addition could have been "Death Machine" (1994). A greedy Megacorp, cyborgs, robots, crazy weapons and stoner punk terrorists. It has all the cyberpunk tropes.

[@thunderken1808]

It's frustrating how everyone attributes the entire cyberpunk genre to Cyberpunk 2077, when it's existed for 40+ years. Hardware, Nemesis, and Deus Ex are what got me into cyberpunk back in the day and my love blew up from there. Amazing video dude can't wait for part 3.

[@Skiamakhos]

Cyberpunk 2077 is just the latest iteration though - I was playing R. Talsorian Games' Cyberpunk back in '88, long before Deus Ex came out. This is the good thing though: both are just part of a sci fi subculture that goes back to Philip K Dick's novels & short stories, which themselves owe a fair bit to the likes of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, who herself was inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge's nightmare visions of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" (see her arctic scenes in particular - but also there's fanmail she sent him when she was a girl). Ain't culture great? :-D

[@wiwysova]

No one does that.

[@OfficialDJSoru]

@@wiwysova Exactly, people were simping the Blade Runner sequel before the blasted CDPR game, even before that the mainstream were bombarded with the word "cyberpunk" from descriptions of anime like Psycho Pass, Serial Experiments Lain or in a way Ergo Proxy, but also from people's description of the Deus Ex games. The one thing that blew up with Cyberpunk's release was the popularity of the subgenre of electronic music "Midtempo" erroneously called "Cyberpunk" as a music genre, all cause of the OST's heavy use of that subgenre.

[@milkjug4237]

What were you on when you wrote this. People knew about cyperpunk before 2077. 2077 only made the word 'cyperpunk' a bit more ambiguous since people would sometimes ask "Oh, you mean the game? Yeah, I'm hyped for that too"

I've been excited for the second chapter of this series since seeing part 1, and then you opened with Essenger's "Empire of Steel". Immediately on board!

Dude! Thank you for your hard work on this! This is a good christmas gift now that I'm officially done with finals 😁

[@Indigo_Gaming]

That's awesome! Congrats and enjoy.

I'm AMAZED you don't have over a million subscribers. This documentary series is incredible with the amount of detail that's going into it. I can't wait for the next part!

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Thanks! Maybe one day, algorithm, willing!

Checking in to the comment section, just watched till the end of GitS review and in need of a cigarette. Thank you Indigo and everyone involved, this documentary series (I remember that there would be a part 3!) is a milestone on it's own in culture history.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

The plan is to do 5 parts. Whether I'll live to see them through, is another matter. XD

[@chupasaurus]

@@Indigo_Gaming Planning nowadays is somewhere in the scope of astrology, but we're hopeless without dreaming. Wish you all the best so I could make a party with friends at the end :)

This is the second time I've watched these videos throughout (this is the third time). Just such an incredible documentary account of this whole fascinating genre and subculture. Your attention to detail is second to none and your style is so relaxed and easy to follow yet you allow us to see the passion for what you do here. It's brilliantly executed!

[@CP-vq3cz]

I meant I've watched them twice and this is the third time lol.

[@Anderson_101]

i’m watching all 3 for the third time too.

Perfect usage of Scandroid. Scandroid is the soundtrack of the dystopian Cyberpunk future.

[@dereugenvomdach9260]

This is a perect documentary that left me excited, satisfied and absolutely motivated to explore. Thank you!

[@БорисМ-д1б]

This is such a divine quality of both writing and editing. More people really should watch this video. Thank you for your hard work!

[@liz_0_1_2_3]

Just recently starting to get into the cyberpunk genre, and this series is a great summary and introduction to so much great cyberpunk media!! I'm making a list of movies and games to play after watching... Thank you so much for this series, can't wait to watch part 3 (and eventually 4)! ❤

[@Indigo_Gaming]

You're welcome, and congrats on your cyber-journey. Thanks for watching, and have a happy New Year!

[@MarshallGTV]

Thank you for putting the ad breaks in logical places

[@Indigo_Gaming]

I specifically edited pauses here and there to place the breaks so as to not interrupt the flow of the video. 👍

To this day "PERSUADATRON" still pops in my head from time to time

[@HouseOfAlastrian]

That song in the intro was so awesome I had to rewind the video and whip out my phone to look it up with Soundhound. But my god do I appreciate this documentary series you're doing... Cyberpunk is one of my favourite genres.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

It's an incredible song, so happy to have discovered Essenger while I was producing this video.

[@HouseOfAlastrian]

@@Indigo_Gaming and I am happy to have discovered Essenger while watching your video :)

[@magnetsec]

In-depth research, thorough analysis, chronological presentation with context, and beautiful music made these documentaries truly one hell of a ride since Part 1. Cyberpunk is rising again. What a time to live in.

[@gavinmanners8709]

You, sir, are a gentleman. Absolutely fantastic work, both parts!
