    Fun Fact: Originally, instead of Empathy, it was supposed to be that getting too many enhancements meant that the corporations that SOLD those enhancements got more and more control over your body and wallet. Forcing you to pay for upgrades/repairs just to stay alive and functioning, causing pop-up ads in your eyes, etc. and if you got too many, you would literally lose control over your body and be added to that corporation's army or workforce as a slave. This was too anti-capitalist for American distributors, so the whole Empathy thing was put in instead.

      Like many things in this game, it proved prophetic! Instead of being as blatant, though, they have slowly conditioned us to buy the same cod or madden game every year, to buy the new iPhone every single year, to subscribe to music stations that are still free on the radio, to buy a game and then keep buying via microtransactions the things that used to be free in games.

      And I could see that working as a good lore explanation. Going beyond humanity causes you to identity less with your fellow man. Reaching "baseline" humanity won't. And I'd even say that things in-between those categories- like someone treating their chronic pain by using a cyberware that stops you from feeling pain and converts it to a HUD display gives a very small amount of cyberpsychosis- an amount that is negligible if you aren't also a supersoldier. Still, I'd prefer to reskin it as inflamation, or if you want to be more ambitious- try to use the intended system of the cost of implants to be more corporate control over your body.

    • @kendaar9002
      @kendaar9002 Před 3 lety +18

      It sorta sucks that the book version is better than the game version. Let me explain...
      In the game Johnny just hastes Arasaka when Alt is taken he can instantly blame them because he is raging his small war against them, but in the book Johnny isn't involved specifically with Arasaka. If the game followed this story line it would be the events of Never Fade Away which would cause the unending hatred of Arasaka, instead of it being something extra to add to the pile of grievances which we never completely see, which in my opinion makes a more interesting character.

    • @MylesMarrero
      @MylesMarrero Před 3 lety +12

      @@kendaar9002 I don’t see how a character that hates an organization for one reason is more interesting than a character hating them for multiple different reasons. It’s interesting when characters have history that we don’t see, otherwise everything in the story follows a very predictable structure. When we’re looking at these characters on screen, we’re seeing just a snapshot of what their actual lives are. Seeing them reference the parts of their lives that we don’t ever see can be really cool. It makes them feel more organic, since in reality we’re never entirely knowledgeable of another person’s experience besides ourselves. Having everything answered plainly gets old.

    • @kendaar9002
      @kendaar9002 Před 3 lety +1

      @@MylesMarrero I suppose you have a point but when it comes to Johnny I felt his specific hate for Arasaka was too much and too specific, as far as I know he never specifically complains about another corporation, and hell his hatred for corps almost seems to be because they are the same as Arasaka. It's obvious something big and important happened to piss him off to this extent but it's never shown or alluded to, making Johnny come off more as a maniac who decided to hate Arasaka for no real reason rather than being wronged by them. I suppose at the end of the day it's a preference, I prefer the books Silverhand because I could see, understand and empathise with him entirely.

    Personally, despite having a disability and possibly needing prosthetics in the future, I always liked the CyberPsycho thing. It makes sense to my mind that if a person removed all their natural limbs, perhaps even their face and internal organs, even to the point that they're just a brain floating in a mech suit, they might start to feel a bit detached from the struggles of organic life. Such a person wouldn't have any of the same problems as a normal person, except for the (now far less looming) threat of mortality. They might have artificial nerves that can be deactivated, or that could feel sensation without the unpleasant nature of pain. They could constantly pump drugs into their brain so they felt however they wanted at any time, and never overdose because they have no squishy organs (except brain) and a machine filtering their blood.
    Now I do think it kinda sucks that there's no subtlety to it. Remove too much of your body and you just immediately go psycho. It'd be cool if there was an element of chance to it, and once you pass the threshold of cyberpsycho, you'd get worse with further augmentation- less in control of yourself, until you have no say left and it's just your mechanical components running the show. You're now cyberdemented.
    Just had to say this, and I anticipate no one will read it! If you made it this far, congratulations comrade on joining the revolution.

It's wishful thinking to think that capitalism inherently cannot continue because it is bad; unless we act to do away with it, it will not go away until it has destroyed everything. This is not meant to say the situation is hopeless: we CAN win this, but we're going to have to engage in a collective struggle for it, we will not win passively, inevitably.

    List of things Brian got right:
    Place:
    Afterlife is there, is in a morgue and is a central place in the main story.
    The Rainbow does sort of exist, but it became a sushi bar. The rock classics became legends of a long gone past.
    People
    Johnny is not only very important in this game, but you also do play the Never Fade Away mission as him. You also blow up Arasaka with a mini-nuke.
    The Fixers exist in the game as contractors to whom you do gigs and contracts.
    Saburo Arasaka has a major role in the game, and Arasaka Corp as a whole is majorly present in V's journey.
    You do play as a solo, a merc working for fixers. You also have encounters with Nomads and may have been part of a Nomad family yourself depending on the life-path you choose.
    Things
    Cyberware does not drive you to cyberpsychosis, but cyberpsychos exist and are on of the main enemy types in the game.
    There are drugs amd they work just like skooma, with minor buffs/debuffs.

  • @andrewtyrell4795
    @andrewtyrell4795 Před 3 lety +7

    Just dropping in from the distant future of December 2020 to add some information to the cyberpsychosis comments.
    The recently released Cyberpunk Red rulebook gives more context on what causes and contributes to cyberpsychosis. Necessary prosthetics to replace an arm or a leg don't cause humanity loss. Cybernetics only cause humanity loss when it involves voluntarily removing a functioning body part to add some new function.
    Replacing a lost leg with a prosthetic that brings you restores basic mobility=fine
    Having your arm removed for a robot one so you can have an smg pop up from your wrist=probably going to cause some subconscious issues
    Further, the rulebook explains that humanity loss corresponds to a reduction in empathy as the artificial parts of your body make you feel more distant from other people. People with low empathy, typically ones with pre-existing psychotic and/or sociopathic tendencies, are more likely to develop cyberpsychosis as they slowly stop thinking of themselves and others as people.
    Lastly, the rulebook states that humanity loss is also caused by traumatic experiences. This humanity loss and its associated empathy reduction can be treated and reversed with therapy with the game even providing a system for doing so.
    So basically, calling it humanity and having you lose doesn't really convey what the game is trying to represent. I don't know how much of this was in Cyberpunk 2020, that's how it is in Red.
