- V and David are both highly augmented right? What gives? Why does David Martinez experience cyberpsychosis but V doesn't? In this Cyberpunk 2077 x Cyberpunk Edgerunners short we find out!
#shorts #cyberpunk2077 #cyberpunk #cyberpunkedgerunners - Hry
Plus V literally has a chip that is rewriting his brain so I doubt Cyberpsychosis could really take hold, or it would take hold after Johnny takes over V's body with all that chrome
There's also that!
I really like this explanation as well lol
I agree
I agree with this one more, v basically got 2 brains to share the load of the cyberware too
V is also basicly dead , Johnny takes over the body after the heist but V "soul" is still in there......V also doesn't go nearly full brog like David did and V might build up a resistance like smasher did over time
"Why didn't V get cyberpsychosis?"
Players : "This is so funny, driving a tiny car through a crowd of people. I wonder how much cyberware I need to survive against Maxtac?"
Done this and that
Some NPC's were immune to the car and other died
As for max
Tried some console commands added all the legendary stuff
The sandev build got through around 6 waves of max before dying
I even had the second heart too
The fuckin MaiMain has become my signature car. Just because I find it funny that a mass murderer drives around in a cute little clown car
Not much 💀
@@_JamesMorrell_ how do i get console commands
I want lore accurate MaxTac so bad...
It's actually confirmed that Johnny Silverhand sharing your head is why V doesn't go psycho. His presence ironically stabilizes V's mental state, even though it's slowly killing V.
Check the new update lol
@@Colincantkill???
@@feloniousassault1281 they added cyberphycosis
@@Colincantkillno they didn't, the fuck.
They added limiter and debuff due to prolong cyberware usage, not cyberphycosis.
@@Readcapa oh i thought they named the limitor and debuff cyberphycosis since that’s technically what cyberphycosis does
If you do the Corpo background, V literally begins the game taking mood stabilizers and having a meeting with his therapist. Medication and therapy are two methods that the tabletop game gives to players to prevent cyberpsychosis.
Also the Johnny engram.
“Just take a bullet”
Corpo start best start imo
😂 it was a cognitive booster not a mood stabilizer
But if you do the edgrunner perk as of 2.0 i feel as if V goes crazy for a bit because you can start hearing laughter because of the fury skill

We, the player, are V's cyber psychosis.
Having flashbacks of playing Star Ocean til the end of time. A game within a game.
Pretty sure Keanu Reeves is
How?
true😊
That's deep
V’s cyberpsychosis manifests itself whenever the player decides to mow down a crowd of civilians and fight MaxTac.
I really like that explanation
Cant agree more
Most realistic game mechanic happens inside the the player's head - they literally succumbed to the key symptom of cyberpsychosis, the inability to see the civilians and police as human.
This is exactly the way I saw it.
Makes sense actually…the player controlling him IS the cyberpsychosis
V is a high functioning cyberpsycho. Choom literally got a bullet into their brain AND it’s constantly getting rewired by the relic.
Johnny is V’s Cyberpsychosis.
No, we are V’s cyberpsichosis. Who else makes V drive a truck through a crowd of civilians
All the seizures were either the chip fighting the onset of Cyberpsychosis or were just V's brain screaming "JUST LET ME DIE ALREADY!"
V acts like it’s Johnny trying to manifest in a particularly strong way. Like an emotional outburst that is causing V physical harm. Notice how it only really happens when Johnny needs to have a really emotional heart to heart with V?
The seizures are relic malfunctions. It was not only damaged but never meant to be used the way it was on V. It was supposed to be for Saburo to transfer his consciousness to a body on life support.
Ripperdocs won't let V equip certain implants in 2077 if V doesn't meet the attribute requirements. It could be argued V is both a more experienced person who handles trauma better, and that they don't take on any implants they can't handle.
Mike Pondsmith also mentioned that Johnny's chip in V's head also acts as a buffer for any psychological hits V took.
David however was "Built Different" in his own eyes so he went full chrome due to A. Probably an addiction for it + B. Trying to make everyones dreams reality by bearing all the pressure...
No wonder david went cyberpsycho really.
Yeah this makes sense I think. Taking more implants slowly once you've gotten used to the ones you already have instead of just getting a new one every other week sounds better
Also, doesn't time affect that? V goes through a huge transformations of Chrome in mere weeks at most. Davie and Maine had been chromed for very long, which I assume takes its toll. It took Maine a long time to snap, which I assume would happen to V after multiple years
@@michaelcavalry8379 yeah that's always the reason I thought, like lore wise the part of V's story we play takes place over the course of weeks, while David had his for longer
@@michaelcavalry8379 V's story is a few weeks, David's story is about a year or 6 months. Also V has that chip in him/her. A big hole where the brain used to be, then it got re-written too. It's possible they died by the end of it all so cyberpsychosis is the least of their worries.
V: gets killed, resurrects, finds out he's dying anyways, and watched his best friend bleed to death
Also V: chrome me up, choomba
That’s Johnny talken
Also cyberpsychosis happens mostly In men less likely in women
Also V: no parents in sight, we watch 2 xbd's during the playthrough, never take the pills Vic told us to.
V doesn't have a Humanity stat
@@deathangel1411
Because men don't know when to stop with the metal.
V literally have a best buddy exist in their heads at all time. Being there holding conversations and either support or dissect V's decisions.
"V has no psychopathic tendencies"
Meanwhile V casually mowing down through a Maelstrom hideout with mantis blades
They guy who made the table top went on record to say that Johnny helps V bear the traumatic load of cybernetics. David just had a really high humanity stat but starts losing it (literally) after suffering multiple traumas so close to each other. I think it’s a beautiful metaphor for real life. Money and power can never replace safety and love.
I like this theory. It lines up when Dee keeps losing it at the thought of losing his love life, also when the big guy (forgot his name) loses his girl before maxtac arrives which makes him go completely ballistic.
@@calleocho2107 It's not really a theroy since this comes from Mike Mondsmith the creator of Cyberpunk
@@smashrosa8111 except that it’s not in the story so it’s completely irrelevant. The writers of the show are not the same thing as the creator of the table top game that’s basically just a shittier version of shadow run.
original creators who have had nothing to do with the IP in recent years don’t get to just be like “this is a good idea, it’s cannon now” if it’s not apart of the story as envisioned by the writers then it’s not relevant to that story.
@@dirpyturtle69 Sure lmao. You don't seem to know that everything he says is based on canon facts from the Cyberpunk lore (The original RPG, RED and 2077). The anime isn't in it's own bubble just so you know.
Plus he is still involved in the IP with CDPR.
Btw it's not the writters of the show that have say in what's canon or not.
Kinda what warframe between the warframe character and the Tenno. Both share the body in bound to one. Warframe is half human and machine that is 99% through skin to bones more advanced then cyberpunk world
I'd make the argument that V is in a form of Cyberpsychosis, given that they have a whole other digital lifeform in them.
Touché
It is like, functional Cyberpsychosis though, two minds can keep the other in check. Plus I am unsure how much V gets, but David sacrificed over 60 percent of his original body to Chrom.
I'd like to think that we're the cyberpsychosis controlling V
This is the same theory I have on V situation. Having severe brain damage and a construct in there not to mention only a few weeks to live doesn't leave alot of time for it to take hold if it could.
Yep, the creator literally said this on twitter recently. He was dealing with cyberpsychosis the whole game and we didn’t realize at first
It was actually his relic that prevents him from becoming a cyberpsycho. Having two minds in one body in a sense, creates an impossibility for cybernetics to affect his mind. This was explicitly hinted in the game that Johnny Silverhand prevents him from becoming a psycho.
Not likely.
@@mr.starly2423 Actually that is confirmed by author’s/devs

I like the idea that normally V wouldn't be able to handle so much cyberware, but because Johnny gets thrown into the fray there are now two mental states combatting the potential for cyberpsychosis.

Also, we really don't know how much chrome David was packing by the end, he could have gone way past V ever had.
He almost had as much chrome as Adam Smasher. The only difference was Adam just had a skull of a man and David had head and torso.
@@IndraD And even the torso is seen being modded by the ripperdoc
@@IndraD I don't think he even had a normal skull since we see metal plates on David head (specifically the part where he was missing an eye) after smasher ripped his limbs off
@@XD-sc4ix the only organic thing he has is a brain and his brain is in a biopod in his head
His bulk was cyberware I thought not to mention it’s not how much it’s also what kind and the quality the two greatest risk factors are back alley black market record so to their poor craft and minimal safety ect and Military grade gear like the San dan David used and the cyber skeleton we find this out in a convo V has with a member a max tac after a specific cyber psycho attack and V mentions the Mantis blades the max tax member has is a military grade that is illegal so to their high risk factor
I think V's resistance to Cyberpsychosis comes from a kind of shared burden. Think like Pacific Rim, sharing the load of the cyberware between two conciousnesses.
personally i like to think that despite the fact that silver hand is slowly killing V, having someone with him constantly to talk to and keep him focused would help stop psychosis symptoms
I like to think the entire game is V having cyber psychosis episode
Bro all David's mom had to do was brake.
or turn left/right, brakes were likely budget cheap (she probly took a bullet too tho...)
in a real life situation you wouldnt know either... trust me bro just trust me
And all Maine had to do was lighten his load a little, but alas no one does things the easy way

We are the cyberpychosis
I believe V was able to maintain because of Johnny. Kinda like Pacific Rim, with two consciousnesses in one body able to share the strain.
I really like this explanation
Or like the basilisk for those who haven't watched Pacific Rim.
@@slyzthaman True
Facts
and V never got that much implants.
Pondsmith actually commented on it, it’s because Johnny actually takes half of the strain of the cyberware, so V can withstand twice as much cyberware as a normal person. Also, V has a significantly better emotional condition due to his friends and the fact that he communicates with them.
theres going to be a cyberware cap kind of thing in new update so I'll like to see how they tackle that

A lot of people have brought upthe player being his cyberpsychosis: we drive him to keep getting chromed up, we drive him to mow down tons of people if we do, so it makes sense tome
V is also constantly reminded of his humanity, and is constantly striving to hold onto any puece of him that he identifies as himself, which would trqnslate to an unnaturally high humanity stat. V's humanity stat limit is higher than David's, it's that simple. People have to keep in mind that Keanu Reeves had much more of a role to play in the development of Cyberpunk 2077, and hes virthually THE most down to Earth millionaire of the last severao generations (the plot of Cyberpunk 2077 is a clear retcon to Johnny Mnemonic's plot)

I think with the last update, V still got some but since he is adult and know when to stop, That is why. He never go overboard about “I am special, I can do this!”. Instead, He know he’s going to die and willing to do anything to survive which including try not to go nuts. Not to mentioned dude got more experience when being mercs more than David did so lore-wise, He might not need to spam Sandy that much beside in combat.
I think the Bichip worked as another part of the brain, helping V manage the side effects of the implants on his brain.
I thought it was because V is really dead on the edge of being a reanimated life.
Also a reasonable explanation
V does go through cyberpsychosis. They have every symptom but the relic is essentially keeping them on meds harder than anything sold. It’s why in moments of high stress V starts to shake and cough up blood and hallucinate but the relic reigns the rouge brainwaves back so Johnny can easily mesh without the fear of being put into a broken body
Fan theory
Hmm, so Johny comes and halts any cyberpsychosys to undergo in his mind to a degree, it might be something about 2 minds sharing his brain, so it stalls for a while said process.
Might be it but not clear in any way.
@@joshuameadows4922 very much
@@joshuameadows4922 can't deny it makes a lot of sense
@@joshuameadows4922 cannon. That's literally what the fuck is going on in the game. From the moment thee comes back to life he's experiencing cyberpsychosis.
David fked up with that exoskeleton if he only lightly chromed up he'd still be here
I'd like to think because V just like Adam Smasher, is a badass
the “it” factor going for em
I don't think that Adam Smasher is even human anymore, just a contained cyberpsycho
Well Adam Smasher has a much more tame version of cyberpsychpsis, a disgust for organic bodies.. so V is better than him.
The reason Adam Smasher is able to Borg out isn't because he's cool and shit. It's because the guy was a psychopath before getting blown to bits by an RPG.
Yeah, Adam Smasher is a psycho, just a different kind.
V is very different case, he was the first person to sucesfully transform from 1 person to another... basically, there was a third party in his brain which was overriding V's own emotions, mood and thoughts, which is exactly what causes cyberpsychosis. Thats how i explaint it for myself
V was build different, David simply thought he was.
V is much more resilient, being someone who's actually had time to adjust to the augments, and isn't just being downright reckless.
Better explanation is that it’s how David responded to those trauma and emotional stressors. He’s given very little time to cope and come to terms with the tragedies in his life which leads him to internalize them in unhealthy ways (such as excessive augmentation and obsession with being the best in NC). Comparatively, V is not only able to cope better with their circumstances but they also have a better support system through their friends and Johnny. David didn’t loose it because of cybernetics, he lost it because he lost sight of himself.
This exactly. David's story is about someone who isn't living for themselves in the slightest, but instead taking on the dreams of those around him and living for them. He never had a dream, just had hopes pinned on him and that made him lose sight of what he really wanted and who he really was and was becoming.
There is probably many reasons, like the degeneration of V’s neural network, the chip, Johnny’s conscience, lets not forget the tarot that V see’s, it has the same blurriness, and also the monk, that Johnny cant see.
Like my Storyteller said to us once "I would make you roll for degeneration, but you're degenerating yourselves on your own". That's why the game doesn't have cyberpsychosis mechaninc, we are the cyberpsychosis
I’d also say that V constantly looking for a cure keeps him all good up there
I mean V and Johnny share a conciousness... it's basically two minds processing all this trauma vs just one.
More like the engram chip is suppressing the CP because of the rewriting
i personally think that, like how D thought he was "special" because he was able to handle the sandy, V is ACTUALLY special, seeing as you're able to deck yourself out with cyberware way before getting Johnny in your head
Agreed
David is special to a point cause he was able to use it immediately 10 times with no meds and 2 should have been his limit but he's not as special as V I think he could have killed smasher too the fight wasn't really fair smasher has no emotion and he just watched his ride or die well die then smasher with previous knowledge of the weakness of the full body cybernetics he was just forced into instantly destroys the obvious weak point
@@Voltaic01 David had no chance against smasher. Smasher had already seen everything David's chrome can dole out. He knows the weaknesses and Adams chrome is most likely chrome specifically built for him specifically designed to be a one man army and designed to completely smash other clanks. David's chrome was older than what Adam has which I would say is quite a few years ahead of everyone else. Perhaps Adam struck a deal with Arasaka to give him their best shit they can make and he gets the preemo shit that don't hit the Markey fot a long time.
V soloed the tower of Arasaka and Adam Smasher alone in one night. V was something else. A one in a billion to have played Night City's game and came out on top inspite of their declining condition.
@@TallicaMan1986 I think David had a chance smasher knew how to entirely disable him because he knew about the absolutely massive flaws of the skeletons reliance on the grav tech but everything else it just smasher isn't organic and has the best tech because arisoka owns him so he has a massive edge but if David wasn't forced into the skeleton and also had to fight a bunch with no time to adjust to a Skelton with massive weak point Anti grav gens he coulda won plus smasher had the drop on them haha get it sadge
@@TallicaMan1986 obv V is super special and David is just somewhere in the top 0.5 - 1% probably but I think he had a like a 10% chance in a 1v1 if he was rested pre skeleton where others would have 0
Also I wish V could have multiple cybernetics on his arms like David who had both gorilla arms and a projectile launcher
Mods let me do this lol
@@yohane...shoukan2416 I unfortunately am bound to a console
Meanwhile my version of V goes on daily killing sprees and then acts like nothing happened lol.
V has a double consiousness with Johnny, sharing the cyber load between the two of them. Thus reducing/halving the mental stress of cyberpsychosis
True and David also had way more mods than V I think that’s worth mentioning.
I always attributed it to V being incredibly focused, defiant and determined- always onto the next job or the next mission, and never indulging in the kind of thoughts or urges that could act as a gateway to Cyberpsychosis. Also, unlike Smasher or David, V doesn't alter their appearance to robotic extremes- when they look in the mirror, they still look relatively human, and I think that is a great comfort to someone like V... that, despite everything, they still *look* like themselves.
That depends on every player’s decision because V can be just as you mentioned or the complete opposite because V is a reflex of your own personality, obviously if you take the decisions according with your honest opinion of the situation
I'm pretty sure this is actually precisely the kind of behaviour that can worsen the onset of Cyberpsychosis. Succumbing to it isn't a case of running out of willpower or anything like that, you become a Cyberpsycho when you stop seeing other people as being real, when you lose empathy for them. While keeping your appearance mostly the same would help, being entirely focused on work and not connecting with other people, not exercising your ability to empathise is how you lose it.
It's how Adam Smasher behaves, and Mike Pondsmith recently confirmed that Smasher is a Cyberpsycho, just that he's more high-functioning than most. Presumably, this is because his day job is turning fleshy humans into paste for Arasaka, so he can get away with what would usually be considered behaviour that gets you put down by Maxtac
I think what's also important is that V's a lot more chromed up than people realize. In the tabletop when modding your arms for example first you have to actually replace it with a blank cyberarm, then you can add all the cool shit. This is where most of your humanity goes down the drain but the mods you add later do less damage to your humanity. When V goes to a ripper, he already has most of the base chrome he needs so that's why we only need to buy the modification in the game. So its safe to assume that V treated himself right with every surgery and made sure to get some form of therapy
Johnny keeps you sane ironically enough
His mods went a lot deeper than V’s can in game . Have you seen the scene where he’s at the ripper doc post time skip ? You could convince me he was just a human colored robot at that point . Even his skull was metal at the end .
Eng game v is the same. The only thing organic by the end of the game is the brain and even then. An argument could be made that that's not even organic all that much due it's process of being rewritten through out the game.
@@TallicaMan1986 well technically you don't have to get V chipped at all if you don't want to, so there goes that argument, and even if you do u can't get all the types of implants in the game at once you simply don't have enough slots for that, for example, you can't have mantis blades and projectile hands at the same time so my theory is that what V can get is pretty much the standard normal limit to what a ripperdoc is willing to put in u + all the cyberware V gets are already on the market tested and safe if u take your meds and stuff. David clearly went overboard, experimental sandy, Maine's projectile hand wich was probably a faulty device and so on.
@@Nought.27 what the player does is irrelevant. We take the absolute potential of V when we're talking about V. Not what a pacifist player does or doesn't do. We know V can be 95% chromed out. We know V can kill Adam Smasher, We know V soloed Night City etc. Other wise your argument can basically be boiled down to "this player didn't even beat the game, V is weak."
Mantis blades and projectile hands aren't necessary and definatly not indicative of someone's skill. They're cool, but a Shotgun will do.
@@TallicaMan1986 "what the player does is irrelevant" true u can kill anyone in NC or almost nobody, so if you take into account both extremes, the game needs to be the one to acknowledge if V is psycho or not and well it does not. even if you start killing civilians and you survive max tac you can move on like nothing happened. My argument was that a maxed-out V is still in a functioning state, 95% of the normal limit for a human, David clearly went over the edge because otherwise, it would mean that the last 5% would be the difference between V and Smasher full borg 100% and on a full borg you can practically put all the implant types in the game and more because you don`t have a human body for them to fit in anyway.
@@Nought.27
Doesn't Maine's launcher arm jam on him on occasion? Think it really is just a faulty thing.
V spent about 2-3 weeks with Johnny, during which he chipped most of the chrome near the end. Kinda wasn't enough time to develop any symptoms. Also didn't help that half V's brain was scrambled by Dex and another half was constantly rawdogged by Johnny's engram. Cyberpsychosis couldn't even find a place to squeeze into.
David spent at least half a year chroming up as if he was trying to be the best Maelstorm member in the world and polished it off by literally becoming a 150% borg.
No one can have 100% borged not even adam , they still have flesh brain.
@@mailsibul no shit just like you can’t be 150% it’s obviously a over exaggeration

And now, years later, not only do we have a better definition of what exactly cyberpsychosis is, but v himself can also have a cyberpsychosis event that acts as a buff instead of a mental breakdown.
Cyberpunk 2.0 has a cyberpsychosis talent tree now
V witnesses their best friend's death, dies and comes back to life just to realize their psiche is about to be overwritten by Johnny Silverhand's engram. At the very least, they're even on psychological trauma.
@@TheRealMorningstar the amount of ppl that V HAD to kill and see die is more than 2x this.
V had a legendary persona inside his head that could split any stress he has with him making V able to handle alot more , V could probably go 97% or 98% chrome and still be pretty good to be honest
That still doesn't matter
How does that work?
Also V has had longer exposure to Cyberware than David, allowing his/ her body to become more adept.
David gave himself to many cybernetics, too quickly. While v got all of his op cyberware over time doing jobs.
Maybe it was the relic, and having 2 personalities in there held it back.
David is also 17 in Edgerunners whereas V is in his or her late 20’s.
David’s mind hadn’t fully matured yet.
The fact he can still endure cyberpsychosis at such a young young while packing all of those trauma just shows how much of a beast he is (not as much as V's but still a beast) imagine if this monster actually becomes a fully grown adult

@@LueLucifer then why tf you care so much 😂. Just out here stating actual untrue things and making yourself seem mad fragile and toxic
In canon, we play on V like only 3-4 weeks, but David had all these chrome like 1 year
Every time you went on a murder spree trying to summon mactac is v going cyberphyco
Let's not forget David probably saw most of his friends deaths in slow motion
David was a regular everyday student who basically watched his own mother die. He watched his new friends die one by one too. Pilor, Maine, Rebecca. He was only 18 when he himself died.
V is 22-25 and was either raised as a streetkid to be an edgerunner, lived the high life as a corpo, or on the wild side as a nomad. They have a more lived experience of the world than David did. It is entirely possible, as V, to beat the game with almost no chrome.
David just dove in and was on the edge of just borging himself. V can't even wear all the chrome. You can only take chrome that your body can handle. David ignored that and installed them anyway. He ignored the requirements, basically.
A cyberpsycho ending with a disturbing final boss would be amazing
V gets most of his cybernetics in a short period of time so the cyberpsychosis didn’t have enough time to effect him. I bet over time it would start tearing his brain apart.
I would assume V is immune to cyberpsychosis because the nanites from the chip are constantly repairing his brain and rewriting his personality.
Also the possibility that V having Johny in his brain may have helped a lot
I feel like Johny was actually V's cyberpsychosis
I really like the idea that V has twice the mental fortitude of a normal person because they have two minds in one brain
V has two minds to bear all the cyberware, thats why
I think V is special just like David. David was able to fight off his cyberpsychosis longer than a lot of people and for V, it doesn't even affect them much at all. There really are special people that either can stall out cyberpsychosis for long periods of time or it doesn't affect them at all.
V might be his dad
@@papafoundry5537 V can't be David's dad. V is only 10 years older than David. David is 17 and V is 27. That means V would have had him at age 10...🤢
@@etherealdreamerart I know it's obvious V is not the parent of David, but to add on, V also has the possibility of just not having a penis altogether, and you know after edgeeunners there's a mission and they very much don't know who David is so...
@@etherealdreamerart well its night city so who knows.🤣
@@doctorkrieger4404 I doubt it. V doesn't seem like the type to be a deadbeat dad. Plus how old was Gloria when she had David?
V is older than David so maybe he’s more mature in a way that he can handle his own trauma better or smth
brains more formed also due to age so it can handle different wear and tear david being younger cant
Plus V is actually knowledgeable about Cyberware and doesnt use old implants with back alley software. Unlike David who's using a Sandevistan from a cyberpsycho, and Maines arm launcher which he also went c-psycho. Plus David young and chipped his whole body way to fast
V states multiple times to people that chipping old implants increases your chance of cyberpsychosis.
Plus, let's face it, V has Viktor who is one of the best rippers in NC.
If David was seeing Viktor instead of his guy I'm sure he would've had a different outcome.
Johnny is his own kind of cyberpsychosis.
David was just all gas no breaks a no going back type dude.
EDIT:
So I was wrong lol the creator of the cyberpunk universe (not the game) said on twitter V didn’t suffer from cyber psychosis because he had a literal cyberpsycho in his head lol
I think David suffered from Psychosis because he was becoming somebody his mom didn’t want to see. I think that took away his humanity, like when he first killed the cyber psycho (his first murder in the show) he had flashbacks and visions of his mom before he ignored them and pulled the trigger. It’s not the implants, but what people do when they get them
Funny to think about that
Also, david was augmented for years. V has very few augments at the start of the game and the game takes place over a fairly short period of time.
@@nenadmilovanovic5271 that would be actually another additive, too many implants in a short period of time can and will cause psychosis
@@nenadmilovanovic5271 very true, there was no “time skip” for V. Everything happened in the span of 2 weeks (give or take) maximum
Can i have the link to the tweet?
So basically: "deep and interesting lore explanation" or "It just works like this, take it or leave it"
I like the idea that the player is the manifestation of cyberspychosis.
Could have made cyber psychosis like that psychotic breaks in Kane and Lynch where Lynch suddenly perceives normal civilians as enemies and Kane has to try and talk him down. But with Johnny trying to convince V what he is seeing isn't real.
V doesn't get to live long enough to see himself become a cyber psycho
V doesn’t die tho
That’s because he never got laid.
@@mat7083 but I banged Judy
@@gundyr7462 No, that was Johnny Wikileaks my friend. The banging in first person was an illusion. You’re still a virgin. Stay pure.
@@mat7083 gdi
I'd argue V's story is literally about cyberpsychosis. Especially considering just how... unhinged Johnny seems to be in flashbacks. The cyberpsychosis probably rises to the surface whenever he let's Johnny take control for whatever reason he chooses. It's just a different kind of cyberpsychosis, one that is intended to be deliberate by Arasaka.
You have an Implant limit with V. I see that as the reason why. You never go too far.
Bro has a plethora of reasons to be stressed, dreadful and paranoid about. He felt the weight of everyone on his shoulders and the augmentations accelerated the process
V’s brain is literally being rewritten to handle the absolute most human, human that ever existed so I don’t find it a surprise that he can handle all that cyberware
Exactly.
She got her immunity to cyber-psychosis at the cost of literally suffering brain hemorrhages every other day and her mind/soul being erased alive.
Her life-span got cut down to about few weeks/a month.
That is more that “fair price” for such limited gift.
I'm glad I found it short I was wondering the same thing after watching Edge runners thank you for giving an explanation to this
Ive noticed that David was really intrigued bu the XBDs while V was disturbed by them
V was also unfortunate
Imagine if there was a cyberpsychosis mechanic where if the player installed too much cyberware (because why wouldn't you), the game would balance you from becoming too strong against the world by initiating episodes of uncontrolled reckless actions leading to alternate story outcomes or death by Maxtac.
I wish we had an ending where v and Johnny got turned into one engram.
Fr tho, where they both had semi control or personality merge
@@-_EmperorCGod I wish
The real reason....David thought he was built different while V was built different lol
You forget to mention he has two brains in his head at a point. After a while he has Johnny
V having cyberpsychosis is just you letting your 6-yo nephew play and mess with everything out of curiosity.
