@danielduncan6806

@@Otakahunt To be honest, they should just do away with cops entirely. My reasoning... First off, V is in the back pocket of the NCPD, a "sub-contractor"(sub-con), and V does A LOT of work for the NCPD. And given the city is corrupt as hell, you'd think that would buy the V character a lot of freedom in the city. So V offs an NPC from time to time, something like that ought to get swept under the rug and forgotten about. I mean, yo, V takes down no less than 7 gang dens all across the city, and saves countless people, and solves countless crimes. The V character kills THOUSANDS of criminal scumbags throughout the course of the game. Surely there can be some allowance for the occasional NPC's to catch a bullet. Second, the cops in Night City are weak as hell. The first time you exit V's megabuilding, there are two cops sitting at a food stand just outside the elevator, one of them is telling the other "don't risk your life, that is what MaxTac is for". Additionally, there are warnings to NPC's in Night City to not depend on the police, instead, they suggest ducking for cover. The police are so massively understaffed that they can't even come and pickup a dead body. It makes absolute zero sense that there can be gang dens all over the city, plus the scavengers doing what they do, maelstrom doing what they do, the corps doing what they do, tigers doing what they do... and the cops can't and/or won't do anything about it. Yet V offs a single NPC and the cops are all over it, first the drone, then 2 or 3 cops follow. This makes no sense. And now a suggestion... No cops ever aggro on V, ever. Instead, allow the V character to off 2 NPC's every 2 minutes, free of charge. And then for anything over that, immediately rain down MaxTac on the V character. If the V character is so confident they think they can off more than 2 NPC's, they must be tricked out, and must be going cyberpsycho, it is time for MaxTac to be called.

I still remember one of the earlier cyberpsychos mission, which is about a cult or smth with the subject in a freezer. It's the first cyberpsychos that is using a sandevistan, and at that time, I was kitting myself for a ranged build, so a it's smg, a semi automatic psitol and the twin barreled shotgun, along with the rocket launcher hand cyberware. I was extremely unprepared, the sandy just basically passed over all the shots I threw, and my quickhacks isn't kitted out yet only for slight support role for single, quick fight. It was bloodbath, with my best bet is using the shotgun to pump some damage in and stagger her, then pump whole mag of the smg in, before running away againa nd reload my shotgun. It was later when I'm more decked out and have the quickhack prepper out that most cyberpsychos become much easier.

He then goes mad from the feedback loop and snaps in the middle of the street, immediately flagging the cops as an enemy force and his psycho mind sees himself as attempting to protect his nation against cyber-terrorists.

Each and every one of them was competent, fearless, and downright heroic. The fact that they simply didn’t have the tools necessary to deal with the job takes away nothing from the fact that they stood their ground and held this absolute unit of a killer down for MAXTAC to finish off.

Idk why but this scene alone is great to come back and rewatch. Studio Trigger really put passion into this short series.

Seems a lot more tactical than insane, as the name "Cyberpsycho" would imply. I mean the way he used that adrenaline boost-- he killed six guys execution style in under a second. Knowing Night City from the game, this was probably either a guy with nothing left to lose, a guy forced into the circumstance, or a guy that was buying someone time to commit a crime worth his suicide by MaxTac.

That's the spiral of Cyberpunk and you just tasted the prime stuff. Just like Warhammer 40k for a long time we just had the lore and table top games, now with anime and modern game engine we really can bring the style to life.

You know in a place like Night City, you REALLY have to give credit and gratitude to the cops, at least the non-corrupt ones, these guys are MORE than aware they will very likely find themselves in a rather hopeless situation like this, and yet even then they still sign up AND put their most courageous foot forward in the name of duty. They kept shooting and holding their ground despite the onslaught this psycho gave them even though it was more than clear after the first few seconds their pistols weren’t doing crap.

Extremely on-brand for cyberpunk's main point to open the series with this clip and have it as a standalone clip on KZread for us to rewatch and consume much in the same way David did.

What I find interesting is that, after a year I just noticed there are some enhancements that aren't in the game, but shown in the anime. Makes me think that the creators of the show actually went through the tabletop book, and read through it rather indepth. They also had to have, because while alot of the locations in the game are in the anime. There is MUCH MUCH more actual book references than I realized. Meds are different, cyberpsychosis is treated differently, weapons are different, even how people talk is different. This anime is barely related to the videogame at all, it's a tabletop campaign animated.

@@notleviathan855 I'm gonna give you the cyberware but the rest is wrong How is Cyberpsychosis different in the anime? I mean beyond just aesthetic choices like the weird eyes. You know what? In this the anime is closest to the game than the TT, in TT going c-psycho means your PC goes under control of the Game Master. It doesn't necessarily make you a bloodthirsty monster. All the cases in both the anime and the game are just that, killing machines. You could argue David was different but he never went truly psycho. "Red has pretty much the same weapons as in 2077" No it doesn't, at all. I'm running a RED campaign adapted to the year of the game. The only weapon in both is the Malorian 3516. Flamethrowers, RPGs, Bows and Crossbows, not even remotely in-game nor in the anime. And the kind of weapons you can find in game are either just generic names (Very Heavy Pistol) or just whole different models (Arasaka WAA Bullpup). The continuity in weapons of RED is with 2020 (a lot of guns taken from there), not with the game. You can search the Cyberpunk RED weapons category in Cyberpunk Wiki if you don't believe me.

I wish the game had cyberpsycho fights like this. Most of the time it's just a regular dude walking around that you one-shot without even knowing he was a target.
