I knew going into Cyberpunk 2077 that it was a dystopian universe. But the more and more shards I read and research I did about the universe the game is set in, the more depressed I got. I love games that are set in a post-apocalypse world, but Cyberpunk is arguably a worse timeline to live in, I'd argue. With games like Fallout, I never felt genuinely bummed out by the world or anything. Everyone was knocked back to the Stone Age. But Cyberpunk's universe is worse to me because there's nothing anyone can do while the situation with the entire planet is rapidly deteriorating and nobody gives an iota of a shit about it. Like people just accept that things suck or just become nihilistic about it to the point where basic things like human lives, healthcare, and standard of living become trivial things with a massive price tag because mega corporations own literally everything. Even the advertisements make me sad. People literally eat bugs and live in a pod while they try to eek out a meaningful life to no avail while the world is crumbling around them. I genuinely think that's worse than a post-apocalypse timeline where at least you aren't literally owned by soulless corporations.

Australia and New Zealand just sitting down the bottom doing the side-eye bear at the rest of the world.

this sounds like a real bit of history from the close future. i mean, we are heading to that path faster than a sinking ship lol

Take out all the direct “cyberpunk” references and I could see this being some kind of prediction video instead of an alternate history.

Thank you for this! Doing research. Can’t afford the game. No capable friends to make play the tabletop

Still in development my dude

Sweden: "People who hate and want to destroy the west; you are all welcome! Bring your families as well!" Also Sweden: "Dutch people and Belgians who share our western values, are tech savvy and have agricultural knowledge and skills that would greatly benefit Scandinavia? No way! Sink their boats!" Yeah. Makes sense 👍🏻

Seems like an accurate projection

Missed the opportunity on singapore and indonesia building a bridge to block the malacca strait and basically take control of global sea trade.

BRB, need to go ask Mike Pondsmith to pick my lotto numbers.

So, say, 2021 USA from Our Timeline vs Cyberpunk NUSA 2021? Our USA would've won. Yes, the Cyberpunk USA has technological advantage (AV's, early cybernetics), but it's a crippled country. Economically, our US is more stable, so would've won in the end.

As of 2020, we had a lower literacy rate than Cyberpunk did. Agony.

I was kinda hoping to hear what happens in Australia

While walking around pacifica i heard npcs talk about haiti sinking

What’s with cyberpunk stories always turning the Middle East into a nuclear wasteland

As many of the basic cyberpunk stories are the future as seen from the 80s and early 90s, the Cold War is still a topic in these worlds. And the rift between the West and East basically is a line from the Baltic Sea and through the Middle East. Hence, clashes would occur right there where systems collide, fueled by both political dogmatism and religious fanatism. I mean, it isn't too far off today either: you have the Iranian regime on one side (with a couple of dependent countries all around the Persian Gulf and the Arabian peninsula) and Saudi Arabia on the other side both vying for regional power (with the latter these days as a perceived ally of the USA). Third: during the Cold war, common knowledge was that a clash of the systems and their proxies would occur in one or more of three possible theatres: Central Europe (Germany), with a Russian push through Fulda Gap; a second Korean War; and third, a rather disturbing one, the nuclear annihilation of Israel and the hostilities in the aftermath.

Can we talk about the gun vending machines???

As indonesian, i expecting that there will be indo-austro war between indonesia and australia if papua new guinea takin over by indonesia, not to mention regional power struggle in indonesia itself, since global corpo creep over and tried to tip the balance, like arasaka involvment in counter terorism in jakarta on 2074

What about Canada? Is it covered in the video on the US or were we forgotten in yet another game?

Thank you asian Owen Wilson, very cool.

hey thats not fair whats up with germany special bavaria?

So different, yet so horrifyingly familiar in our current timeline. 😳

If the USSR is still alive in 2077 wouldn’t that mean that the actual divergence point is in 1990 or 1991?

Australia's ties to UK were broken when the monarchy was overthrown. The Federal Republic of Australia is formed in 2001. The Aborigines form terrorist group to combat the the government, which seems to not care about them. In the same year, Western Australia secedes, forming the Republic of West Australia. They become quite wealthy from oil production. The Federal Republic of Australia declares trade embargo against the West Australia. Then food crash happens worldwide (due to biological warfare and natural disasters) and it hits Australia pretty bad. Meanwhile New Zealand crop production is very high, and they become major exporter. Then Hong Kong refugees flood the country. Only later they cease all export to feed their own starving population. They legalize Marijuana in 2007. New Zealand is quite stable in the 2020s. That's all we know about New Zealand. During Euro-American conflict, Town Springs is destroyed due to orbital borbandement. For the rest of the decade, Australia is mainly occupied with droughts, building Space Ports, clearing biological wastelands as many cities pollute the rivers. As for Russia, Gorbachev succesfully reforms the Soviet Union. Then his successor, Gorborev, transforms the country into the Union of Sovereign Soviet Republics, to keep the various republis from seceding. SovOil corporation gains huge tracks of land for themselves. Throughout the 2020s and 2040, Soviet Union declines, as their lag somewhat technologically, and aren't able to feed their whole population. Most of Russia becomes Nomadic, with the exception of few megapolises, like Moscow or Leningrad.

The cyber punk party ended long ago n people moved on to next fad, anyhows, cyber punk is THE only game which mentions most of the world. TWA or transworld air is headquartered in east africa, kenya to be precise according to lore. Also, there's been a the big corpos clashed severally head on n in proxy wars in africa. The game fad died but hard core cult following continues. There lots going on in the world in cp universe if u buy handbook
