You are amazing ❤❤❤
Is this video spoiler safe preparation?
@@Ultrajamz nothing here takes place in 2077 so yea
Finally! I already know all this lore but its always great to hear it again!
Much respect to the editing done for these videos.
I seriously can't get over hearing that the Bloods teamed up with Disneyland and circus employees to make a Nomad nation. I would say you can't write this shit but obviously somebody has.
Fucking wacky
Wacky but in a near post apocalyptic world this shit is probably gonna happen
My only issue is that Disney is associated with California and California is majorily crips not bloods
@@monarch6662 Every Blood I've ever met was from Cali. There is a whole grid to the gangs in Cali.
Mike Pondsmith has quite the imagination
I like how you've gone out of your way to provide lore connecting the game to the original game and providing backstory for people who are either new to the game or have never really been too into the old RPG to begin with and want some world backstory to go on. Good stuff. Glad to see you got part 2 out finally as well.
yeah baby that's what i've been waiting for thats whats its all about
You have to say "WOOO!". That's the core of the meme.

Just wanted to say, I’ve been with neon nation from the beginning. Through all the delays and set backs, one thing has stayed consistent. Your hard work and dedication. You’re one of the only channels I have notifications on for. I have been waiting for this game for 5 years now and I have gotten almost every bit of news from your channel. Thank you, Neon. And guess what... We have a city to burn :)
Thanks for that!
True...TheNeonArcade is one of the few if not the only youtuber I watch because most of the others only upload stuff that even my grandma would know
@rost wen GTAV is also a 7 year old game lmao. Obviously a game made by CDPR that comes out in 2020 will rival a game that came out in 2013. I don’t understand why people compare the two, where does that even come from? Totally and entirely different genres as well as games and makers themselves.
I think we as a species are heading somewhat towards this lore story
Maybe to some degree. People the past 100 years have claimed we are heading to this type of dark reality. Perhaps possible idk about probable. Society seems to do some bad then self-correct and take 2 steps forward. Then 1 step back, etc
Look how much we’ve advanced in technology in 21 years.. it’s only a matter of time
That's why its intriguing to me. But it also helps to see how technology can be used for good and bad.
@@user-gk5mt9ox5f I agree we will advance in tech. And it’ll be similar to cyberpunk in that regards. But I don’t think daily life will be this horrible and I don’t think corporations will have absolute control over daily life
@@yusufchoudhury2959 fair. I love the story and it’s amazing. I can’t wait for the game haha. I was just saying that I doubt life becomes as horrible. At least I hope haha
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve rewatched the first lore video this week in preparation for the release!!
Fun fact: Malcom and Freddie Douglas are named after prominent African-American heroes, Malcom X & Fredrick Douglas respectively.
@They Live! Again. Louis Farrakhan did not kill Malcolm X
Considering all he gained from Malcolms’s death, plus the disrespectful remarks Mr. Farrakhan made at Malcolms funeral, I wouldn’t put it past him.
You should read Malcom X’s bio by Alex Hayley, I recommend it just on the story alone, but the final chapters were what convinced me of Farrakhan’s involvement in this conspiracy. This is just a opinion, nothing more or less, also a interesting post on a cyberpunk ‘77 vid 🤔🤷🏻♂️
Again, I agree with you...Farrakhan sold out for the figurative 30 pieces of silver, but why he did it was very sinister, Malcolm X was going to form his own faction of Islam, and Farrakhan gunned him down. Division and hatred sell all day when compassion and love are free. I can see why the references are in the lore.
@They Live! Again. apology accepted my friend, in his bio after his pilgrimage to Mecca, Malcolm had his third an most powerful revelation in his life, he did speak a lot hatred, as well as truth especially about white liberals that still are applicable today. After his pilgrimage, he realized that his mindset had to change on how he viewed people in America. An before he could turn thoughts into action, he was murdered.
Great documentary, thank you for this.
From the CB2077 game it wasn't clear that Silverhand killed that many people, this is casting new light on him.
Tbf it wasn't intentional, it was supposed to go underground
They kinda do mention it but it is missable also his original plan was to make it explode underground so nobody in the surface would be affected by the blast but things didn't go as plan and the bomb blew up prematurely
The soulkiller program is actually terrifying
Dude yes what's stopping arasaka from just creating clones of the famouse people they got engrams of and then just silently kill them off and replace them
Thank you for adding a break in between chapters. It was very confusing in the first video to keep track of what you were talking about sometimes because I was listening only. Thanks so much for making these amazingly in depth videos. As someone that never read anything about the lore, or played the tabletop game, I feel completely ready for 2077 now.
Name a more iconic duo than Cunningham and kidnapping.
Hahaha
"Sorry Johnny, but Alt is in another -Castle- Corpo-Facility..."
Literally half way through re-watching Part 1 right now then i'll watch this.
Sat and watched through your entire CP2077 playlist over the past couple days, thanks for all your work.
man i never knew that these games even existed and all this lore - thanks for all the hard work
i've been playing cyberpunk 2077 for hours now, and the world just got even bigger...
Not gonna lie it was your first vid that convinced me to pre-order 2077 thanks for the quick history lesson man love your content.
Cheers!
I never even knew this lore existed. I just got into 40k and DnD so this is just awesome to me. Thank you so much for this, its so interesting and I love it.
man...the WHOLE lore of Cyberpunk is simply amazing :D
Thank you so much for your lore video!
This comes out just a week before release, nice.
6 days away for some
@@gregstinkston7634 it's gonna be on the 9th 7pm est for me on pc so yea, but the ppl who bought disc copies in the states are gonna get it a day late.
6 more days. We've waited for this game for years, 6 more days wouldn't hurt.
But it does..
Why is it killing me then haha
Waiting years is easy because you know it’s not coming any time soon. waiting those few days before release is the worst, especially when you have nothing to do but sit on your ass and watch cyberpunk videos and hype yourself up even more
@@domxiv293 don’t worry bro it got delayed again so it’s not days anymore it’s back to months
@@nashadair8173 liar liar cyberwear on fire.
If you ever create a ‘Nomad Nation’ in the multiplayer I’ll join 👊🏾👍🏾
Doubt that'll be an option.
If it is I am in
Same
@@christyshultz6443 What do you mean doubt? We have zero knowledge of how the multiplayer will be or work.
Would We call it the Neon Nation
Neo had us waiting for part 2 like the second stimulus check lol
I Got hyped for no reason game run like trash on ps4. Ps3 graphics
It’s crazy you used the right alt Cunningham scene when talking about her death pre release of the game
Ya for anyone else who beat cyberpunk 2077 and watched this whole thing, there seems to be some discrepancies. Although maybe it’s time related. Arasaka wasn’t blamed by the PR campaigns, aldecados aren’t in night city (in 2077 atleast), Santiago isn’t mentioned anywhere as the leader of the aldecados, militech sending Johnny Silverhand for one mission to save alt and nuke didn’t happen/seemed like two separate missions, Morgan black hand is nowhere to be found, and weylands father/the borg isn’t shown I think? etc.
I was expecting it be over an hour 😂
Either way you’re blessing us!
I cut it down unfortunately
@@TheNeonArcade you are holding back in case there is another delay. Understandable 😀
I was thinking the same but this really made my day 😄
@@TheNeonArcade part3???
@@jousis_ 6 days out and a delay? copies are already shipped to retailers
I wish CD Projekt Red would've "fixed" their game way sooner as this lore, specifically the Borg bodies like the dragoon, and anthropomorphic stuff like dragon body modding would've been LIT in CP2077 the game
Hey, ive just found this channel and im stunned at the depth of the detail you go into with the lore.
Thank yooooooooou!
The events of Cyberpunk 2077 make so much more sense now. Thank you!
I talked so much shit on the release of this, bought it as joke a few weeks later, now I’m fucking addicted to the story and everything about it. I admit I ate crow on this one, Night City is a world I’d gladly live in!!
Eurobank when OTEC and CINO go to war over buying ihag: everything is going according to plan
Eurobank when those two drag arasaka and militec into the conflict and fucking WW3 starts:... Well fuck that wasnt in the plan
I can't believe I spent so much time learning the lore of this yet didn't put this energy to homework
Just in time to scratch my itch before release!
This was great but if Arasaka was taken down how are they back and still 1 of the most powerful companies in 2077?
Been waiting on this one Cyberpatiently! Thank you!
Hey king nice video keep up
Originally, I was only getting 2077 based on the setting and gameplay footage alone. I knew nothing of the lore then I stumbled upon this channel and watched part 1 three times last night, getting myself familiar with the world I'm about to get lost in. I was so disappointed there wasn't a part 2 out yet and then I hop my computer today and see THIS! Man, have yourself a subscription!
I really hope Morgan Blackhand is still alive.. I really wanna see him in the game. What a badass!
Choombas jack in, lets do this part 2 I'm ready.
The first part of this video was the first video I watched on this channel, sice then I have binged all of your videos waiting for part 2 , and it's finally here!
Cyberpunk 2077 was my first experience with the universe and when I finished I was just itching to know more. Thanks for the elite video.
when you said plague I was like " damn, that was the perfect time to get a copyright strike for putting covid news reels " lmao
Neon thank you so much for getting me and many others through all these hard delays. I don't know how I would have made it here without you. Your videos have kept me entertained and made the time fly. Thank you so much for everything!! Not long now!! Can't wait to see all the content leading up to launch and after!!
Any time!
Gotta love youtbe notification said part 1 but clicking on it brought me to pt2. I just hope nothing goes wrong Monday as im moving and with out internet till then. Since release is Tuesday 6pm for me according to tweeted time table other day
Damn bro. I can't imagine the amount of work it took to make these type of videos . I wasn't actually looking forward to this game, as I didn't know anything about cyberpunk. But just this information is intriguing. Can't wait to see how 2077's story plays out.
I have been waiting for this vid im so happy
Bruh what I just watched that first one THANK YOU that timing is amazing
Yo Thank you soo much for making 2020 feel good and helping me wait for Cyberpunk2077 one more week you the GOAT big bro thank you 🙏🏾
Part two, right when I subscribe.
Awesome
I'm noticing that a lot of great things started with humble beginnings. eg. cyberpunk started from a tabletop game, the witcher started from a book, pirates of the Caribbean started from a ride in a theme park etc.
BEEN waiting for this. Thanks !!
Thank you!
Thank you Neon the perfect video to watch at work on break.
Bruh I deadass watched part 1 yesterday and was wondering when part 2 was gonna be out, nice
Man y’all waiting for the video game, I’m waiting for this shit IRL, hell we are already there in a couple ways.
Edit: damn that heart was quick
Aaaand it’s gone
I just watched the first one yesterday and now the second part comes out? epic
WOW!! Amazing work with the cyberpunk lore! So interesting and study in deep!!
thank you!!! i've been waiting so long for this
Just finished part 1 and watching part 2 and i gotta say hotdamn do you know how to present information. All this will just make my cyberpunk experience the sweeter because wow that is a lot of lore and its pretty impressive you managed to squeeze all the importamt stuff into these video. Job well done thanks ✊️
Ty!
Keep up the great work, choomba.🔥
Thanks for posting man, just watched Part 1 earlier today and 4 hours ago I was looking for Part 2, so glad it uploaded shortly after 😏
Was about to comment & ask when to expect part 2 & VOILA!!!!
Watching this then playing the game will have you looking at it different
Man this just keeps getting better it helps make alot more sense as to why the story is going the way it is thank you so much for dissecting and showing us how the story has evolved over time
I think I’m gonna do my first playthrough as a nomad. The thought of starting out in a mad max type setting then working my way to the big city seems pretty cool. Great vid 👍🏻👍🏻
man i havent been this hyped for a game to come out sense skyrim and fallout new vegas i feel like im in middle school again lol
The part two we’ve all been waiting for. Next week will be a spectacular week. 😎🎸🤘🏾
Just finished both lol. Good stuff man! I'm subscribing.
Hells to the yes! Thanks NeonArcade
so furries are a thing in the future...
Simply astonishing--I can't imagine how much work it took to put this together. And the breaks add greatly to the production value, great work! Thank you for these videos!
7 days away baby!
When you memorize the complete history and economics of a video game for full immersion.
But still can't remember what year Christopher Columbus sailed across the ocean to the new world.
1492
BRUH love your content, what a fun game to be hyped about!
I absolutely had to subscribe. I generally enjoy both of your cyberpunk videos and I'd love to come back and watch more of your content and even debate on enabling notifications for such an awesome narrator
Nice work mate
Hell yes! Thank you for this Neon and all your hard work providing us with great Cyberpunk content.
Got a notification my preorder from over a year ago processed today. Never been so happy to be out $270!
Thank you! I always wondered how Native Americans would fit in a world like Cyberpunk!
My boy came with a another banger
Im into tabletops but never got to play cyberpunk, we actually have a game starting next week but I wanted to know all of this before 77 so thank you for these 2 vids they are to the point and not overly complicated, unlike some others, lets hope this game has the depth we are looking for! Enjoy everyone!
Extremely stoked bro... Cant wait. Got console and pc version preordered
I knew nothing about cyberpunk until I found your channel. I'm amazed by the depth of the lore, I can't help but feel unprepared for when the game comes out. Is there any material you would recommend for an in-depth understanding of the universe the game is set in?
Cyberpunk Red. It was just recently released on Nov 19th : )
@@TheNeonArcade thanks man
Yesirrr its so close that I could almost taste it!
I've been so excited for this Neon, can't wait till the end of this week. You're the best in this game Choomba, don't forget it. 🤘
BRO MY SHII JUST STARTED DOWNLOADING 🥳🥳🥳🥳
And neon liked my comment 🤯 my life’s complete.
Lore time!
I’ve now watched you u for 1 year thank you for keeping me alive with cyberpunk content
*POV: You have stumbled upon the best channel that provides you with video game knowledge*
Patiently waiting for discovering the nomad underwater civilization
That better be a side quest or a dlc
@@Illitha dlc for sure
Bio shock players.Aww shit here we go again.
@@Jentrasa don't remember asking you, but never played bioshock anyways... ♿
Think I commented this on part 1, but I'm currently doing my first proper playthrough after finally settling on a build, a Nomad techie gunslinger, that uses silenced DR5 Nova for stealth and the Unity for when I go loud, all crafted by myself, a thermal and electrical damage based version of the DR5 and the Unity to use depending on whether I'm fighting Tyger Claws, Scavs or Malestrom as I'm clearing all of the content in Watson before moving on and completing The Heist. Also loving my recently acquired tech pistol the Chaos I looted from Royce's dead body after I let the Militech mechs kill him (took a reload lol as the bad ass killed them all the first time) and blades for when I get the Monowire very soon, for now I just whip out my knife and dice up the last guy standing after I've taken down a gang of gonks, it's pretty cool because you can hear the fear in their voice when they're calling you out before you pop up and rush at them and put multiple holes in them like a pin cushion. Anyway completely in love with the game atm and these videos have added so much context to the universe that is Cyberpunk and get me so much more immersed into the game and really add to the experience for me, so just wanted to say thanks for these lore videos man. tThey're great and very well done 👍
I was waiting for you to release this!!! Thanks Neon 💜
These were great videos. You need a part three the update the lore through the RED era and into the 2077 timeline.
Here we go again NEOOO! AGAIN I HAVE TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS CMON MANNNN :(((
I was 8 minutes late :(
Eyyyy, part two. Let's go
Seems 2077 has done some retconning, any chance of a vid that explains said changes?
I just finished and the only one i noticed was the last one with the militech strike force. What are the others
Just finished the first one and when I went to go check and see if there was a second part this was just uploaded, absolute legend.
How convenient! Today is a great day. My XBOX preload just finished, cooked some food and sitting down to watch another Lore video from my bro Neon. Today's a GREAT day
Nice addition of the Montreal skyline at 5:07 😂
was waiting on part 2... nice!!
YESS I've been waiting for part 2
Haha that tv calibration screen you've used for titles as new section starts... It was always on TV back in the 1980 here, back when there weren't programs running 24/7. Such nostalgia, really. :D
