The Cyberpunk 2077 Iceberg Explained

You don’t need 70% affinity. You just gotta choose the right dialogue. My bad Also Somehow I forgot to schedule the video so for the first hour it was out it was unlisted lmao. The first 100 people who saw it congrats, ya’ll rebels

Ironically considering the state of the world in cyberpunk I don’t think there’s any icebergs left

The river family photo will forever be my favorite part of cyberpunk 2077. Screaming “graphic design is my passion”

I feel like Lucy definitely made the graves for everyone because the Rebecca grave says “I wish we could have finished our conversation” Rebecca was talking to Lucy before she got Adam Smashed

Adam Smasher’s “demon skull” isn’t alluding to his actual skull, it’s how he perceives and displays himself on the net.

Fun fact about Rebecca’s shotgun: if you fire it midair you can actually get a triple jump as the gun resets the jump and allows you to jump again but you have to fire it downwards

You know after the horrible launch and all the lawsuits, I was fully expecting them to just let it die. I’m so glad that they fixed it because the cyberpunk IP deserves a good video game. It deserves a few good movies and tv shows too but we’ll see

The acid rain triggered when I first entered Pacifica and it was honestly the dopest combo I’ve seen in a open world game

Its interesting that you mentioned vampires in Cyberpunk. There is a relatively obscure crossover module with Vampire the Masquerade that combines the World of Darkness with Cyberpunk 2020. It actually has some really interesting lore explaining how the supernatural population has adapted to the Dark Future. Vampires are pretty pissed that humans can actually put up a fight now lol

I love that V had one good experience with a random XBD and then proceeded to try every XBD she found on the ground or that was offered to her

lucy being pregnant is “too uplifting” is insane i think that would make it even more depressing than the other alternative ending

Skippy only switches to the opposite mode that you initially selected. If you select puppy loving pacifist upon your first interaction, it’ll switch to the headshot only mode permanently after 50 kills.

6:38 You dont need 70% friendship with Johnny. This is a myth that people keep thinking is true. You need to select specific dialogue options when visiting his 'grave'. With the correct option Johnny will realise how V is his closest friend and how much of a dick he has been, this then changes how he sees V and opens the option for him to suggest they alone atack Arasaka Tower. I got the ending with only 50% affinity

surprised johny's engram or engram tech wasn't mentioned. a small plot detail most people overlook is the shard that helman gives you. the shard talks about how most engrams only reach 70-80% rate of cohesion to who they're based on. Meaning the johny we have in our head could be very different than the one who was alive. Briggete also tells us a lot of the memory on the shard is corrupted. and alt flat up tells us that the memories we experienced from johny had no basis on what happened in reality. We also know that arasaka experiments and modifies memories of engrams. as well as that johny's engram isn't unique and the one we have in our head isn't the original, somehow johny also seems to know this because when we first meet him its one of the first thing he says "the original engram must be out there" in johny's memories he also doesn't die like he is stated to in the lore. in the lore he is killed by smasher and shot in half. this is backed up by a line V has joking that "a ghost of a man cut in half haunts arasaka new recruits" so johny's memories are either wrong or have been falsified when we experience them

Tbh I really like the idea of having cyber vampires as a sorta side story adventure. Kinda like a cyberpunk horror story about a bunch of cyber-psychos running around converting people to a cult and causing mass panic across night city and your able to either join up with them or go full blade and take them all down. Btw great iceberg as always!

I wanted to mention that johnnys arm was an equipable item at the games launch that you'd get after the chipping in quest, it would appear in your backpack and selecting it would give you the hologram arm effect that happens when johnny is in your body It was removed after a patch due to it being a bug and not a feature

I was very happy to see we got to use the rocket area in Phantom Liberty, what a great DLC.

Just a heads up, Maxtac is made up almost entirely of reformed cyberpsychos. It's partially the reason why your told to not kill them in the game and incapacitate instead

There's a second Akira reference during the car chase with Goro Takemura after Dexter gets flatlined. One of the Arasaka guys chasing you does the classic bike drift turnaorund move that Kaneda does, that classic iconic moment. I'm not sure what kind of bike he's riding though, it would be perfect if he was on the Yaiba.

my personal theory is that mr blue eyes is an AI because characters eyes turn blue when data is being transferred, an AI could hypothetically continuously upload data to a person and control them. a lot of the dlc and story points to the dangers of the self aware ai beyond the black wall and it would make sense that they're trying to expand because as time progresses, the real estate of the old net is gonna become more and more finite
