Footage used from the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners | Official Trailer
Intro Music from Cyberpunk 2077 OST: I REALLY WANT TO STAY AT YOUR HOUSE by Rosa Walton & Hallie Coggins

So they demonetized my video because of the remixed trailer footage, go figure. The copyright gods are cruel.
That sucks… thanks for doing this, I appreciate the work it took to put this together.
just make more star citizen videos instead!
Do not call them gods 😎👎
Yeah, because we all know you've are making money off their property. Now that I've seen this video there's obviously no reason to watch the show....
Copyright law on CZcams is fucking dumb.
Pretty ironic considering the entire genre of cyberpunk is a criticism of authoritarian corporations…
The biggest thing I love/hate about Cyberpunk is that there are never "happy" endings - just legendary ones.
Exactly!, when the anime ended I was like, “Well shit! Is no one allowed to have a good ending??” 🥲🫤
As a heads up eastern European writers and happy endings don't mix, add the cyberpunk genre and your low change of a happy ending just diminished by a factor of 10
Goes to show you that Night City itself is the main character.
@Saiyan in the Iron Mask That goes against the core dystopian ideas implemented and seen throughout every corner of the game and the anime.
Realistically, I wished David also came out victorious at the end of the anime but I honestly appreciate the ending far more due to its dark ending tone. If they survived, it would feel too off. The whole concept of the story was about a nobody that has no prospect of a successful future, trying to achieve something. Deaths were used regularly but I can't think of a single example where it felt cheap. Everyone's deaths had a purpose, tho I will admit Rebecca's end was a bit unexpected and didn't deliver as big of an impact as I honestly thought it would.
But I digress. Try looking at the anime's ending from a neutral PoV. Put your biases aside, and hopefully you'll understand what I'm trying to say.
@@SirZechs77 Honestly, having the main anime cast survive the final ordeal would kind of kill the show. Sure, it would definitely give that momentary feeling of triumph and happiness as you'd watch David and Lucy finally go to the Moon together, but in the grand scheme of things it would ruin the realism CP: Edgerunners offers.
The thing I absolutely love about this anime is how the story revolves around a kid living in a dystopian world without any real chances of achieving the illusive successful life that most people seemingly strive for; an idea that's portrayed extremely realistically in the show. Truly a dystopain world to the T. That's why it was only right for the anime to have the main cast fail, tho the writers brilliantly added some subtle personal victories for each and every character, meaning no one actually lost in the end (save for Lucy you could say, tho I'd dare say the story left her in a gray area). The only scene I have some gripes with is Rebecca's end since it felt super sudden and without any major impact on David or anyone else. She just... plopped into the pavement. I'll have to rewatch the anime, maybe I missed some subtle things about her, idk.
Just as an FYI and cool side note: the David Martinez was available as a drink in Afterlife from launch. It was always there. Meaning we always knew what his fate would be 😢
this would be a hundred times cooler if you're really not kidding
@@bummm7065 its true
This probably isn't as impressive as it sounds. When making the anime all they had to do was pick a name from the drinks to use. Still was a smart move. Even cooler if he was always planed to have a side story like in this anime.
Yeah I'm pretty sure they had the anime in mind when making the game
FYI, in the game, the David Martinez is carbonated, being based on the NiCola.
Just realizing V's and David's stories are just small parts of Night-City, showing how deep and expansive this world can become.
spoiler warning: I was wondering why Lucy was the only one with a locked apartment but then I realized that since she's the only one still alive she would be in there
Didn’t she go to the moon? And wasn’t it a one way ticket?
@@viewer6294 based on cyberpunk fandom, Moon is her currently home.
Falco survived too
what about mah boy Falco ? We even talk to him in the game
@@Kirbo029 Lucy and Falco are now hooking up since she's horny as hell and always nude. if you come close to Lucy's room, you'll hear her moaning
I'm here to fill the hole in my heart left by the anime, any traces or easter eggs of the characters they left behind :")
What an amazing show!
😭 with u bro.
Same here
same...
There's a David Martinez Drink.
I’m hurt also can’t stop thinking about it
Edgerunners broke my heart
Even though i expected a bad ending it still hit so hard and the song also stuck in my head too 😭😭
No good ending in Night City
Couldn’t have said it better myself
When life you on the edge, only two ways it ends. You either a legendary by your end or a choom
@@lusterTJ This made no sense im sorry luster tj
@@elwiwi4638 Would you rather live in peace as Mr. Nobody, die ripe, old and smelling slightly of urine. Or go down for all times in a blaze of glory, smelling near like posies, without seeing your thirtieth. you either die a legend or live as a nobody
@@johndoe-je2gi depends on who's urine it is
There's A LOT more, most of the stuff seen in the anime can be found in game:
During episodes 1-2 you can also find the metro station where David faints after using the Sandy helping Lucy in a gig given by Dino called 'Serial suicide'. Then there's some minor ones than can be seen during David's walk to school: the roundabout with colorful light panels near the Arasaka tower and a street with two big panels with ads that is right in front of the closest 2nd amendment weapon shop near to Doc's clinic, just between Megabuilding H3 and Skyline east (hard to notice, the panels are not there in game).
There are many more locations shown in episode 4: First is Lizzie's bar where David goes once with Pilar and Falco; the All foods where V goes with Jackie to pick up the bot from Royce and Dum Dum during 'The Pickup', just that in the anime the crew goes there to rescue Rebecca who has been kidnapped xD The other location where we play with Jackie featured in episode 4 is the apartment block full scavengers during Wakako's gig 'The Rescue'. Here's where David gets hit in the head with a baseball bat by a scavenger. This very same location is featured later, in episode 6. This is location is where Maine and Dorio meet their end. We can also see the parking garage where Lucy and David wait inside the car, in the same building during the aforementioned mission with Jackie (and during a secondary mission much later). That's all from episode 4 (that wasn't already mentioned in the video).
In episode 7, after the timeskip: There's the club run by the Maelstrom where V goes to pick up Nancy in the mission 'Second conflict'. I'm pretty sure it's the same one from Julio's 'debut' mission.
In episode 8 there are many more in game locations: The Arasaka office where David kills the two workers located in Arasaka's industrial complex that appears during the recon mission with Takemura 'Gimme danger'. Another with Takemura is Tom's Dinner, where you have to meet him during the mission 'Playing for time'. This is where Faraday has a meeting with the Arasaka guy. After David faints in his apartment, Lucy takes him to the Ripperdoc where Doc gives him his last doses of meds. After that we see David and Lucy walking by the riverside and it's here where David breaks down and confesses he's killed an innocent woman and asks Lucy to go back to working with him and the crew. This location is right in front of The Riot club, near the spot where you meet Kerry during 'I don't wanna hear it'. Right after that conversation Lucy detects a netrunner signal and begins to track it. This leads us to the last episode 8 location where Lucy is captured by Faraday. It's a small warehouse near Judy's apartment , it can be seen from the rooftop of a building full of antennas from the mission 'Beat the brat' where you have to fight the two brothers. This same building is where Lucy appears trying to locate Faraday's bait netrunner. You can actually enter the warehouse where the netrunner is waiting for Lucy, it's the one annexed to a Medpoint shop.
In episode 9: There's the Sunset motel
In episode 10: The highway that leads to the badlands can be seen when when David, Rebecca and Falco are being chased by Militech. The Buck a slice where Kiwi meets her end and then of course all route from there up to the Arasaka tower. Next location is inside the Arasaka tower, the hangar. This location is first seen during the corpo life prologue before going to meet Jackie at Lizzie's Bar. The remaining location is the roundabout where David and Rebecca get killed by Adam Smasher.
Well, that was a lot. It'd have probably been easier if I had made a video myself lol Anyways, awesome adaptation, props to the background director and the rest of studio Trigger for paying such attention to detail
Underrated comment.
Bro can you please make a video of this lol
dont mind me, just tagging this comment for future use
Underrated comment fs
THEY’RE NOT BROTHERS, THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON
It looks like V's very first mission "The Rescue" also took place at the exact same location where Maine and Dorio engaged NCPD and the Trauma team. Rusty blue car in the parking area, graffiti on the walls, tilted whiteboard in the elevator, the shapes and locations of the broken walls in the game all look quite identical to that in the anime.
My favourite bit from that scene is how the Trauma team abandoned NCPD the very instant their client got his head blown off
@@TheMattSturgeon TT aren't cops, if they don't have a client in danger they have no reason to be there.
Just finished the series - sincerely hoping for another one. It has great story, fantastic animation, a bloodbath of neon and some heartstrings pulled as well! This is such a piece of art everything about Cyberpunk as a whole is nothing short of amazing! Especially the music. Enjoy the trip if you decide to watch it!
If you liked it I'd recommend watching some of studio triggers other anime like kill la kill or darling in the franxx
I have a feeling this single anime has revived cyberpunk 2077 with people wanting more
@@mrfirestar9604 funny enough, I was wondering if the game got any better to being in a playable state. So yeah you’re right
@@emeraldpistol1251 yeah it what I’m wondering and with some stuff from edge runner being added to the game people will wanna role play as them and get that stuff I wanna wait till is like finish or done before I play it (seeing as they are releasing dlc style stuff, I hope we go to the moon I wanna meet a certain someone)
@@mrfirestar9604 yeah lmfao the player base doubled on steam since the release of edgerunners. still climbing too
Cyberpunk is such a dope universe. I'm so glad cdpr are dropping full send into making more cyberpunk stuff.
Me too, can't wait for the next game that hopefully comes closer to the vision they had with Cyberpunk 2077. And closer to the action in the anime. :D
I love how people are starting to give cyberpunk a chance, they just made some mistake and I'm glad they're not giving up right away, game's slowly getting better.
never cared that much about the 2077 game. but damn, the series just made me hype for any future game/series/media in the cyberpunk universe
@@IO279K4RMN unfortunately no the game isn't getting better. Lol the A.I is so slow regardless of the difficulty you choose. Literally no civilian interactions they don't even talk all that much with each other. Lack of so many details that the show captures greatly. HUGE lack of gore in a game where you're mainly shooting heavy artillery weapons and using cybernetics to kill your enemies only for them to just fall over completely clean of any blood.
@@Might_G
I can't say anything about the AI because I'm simply not good enough at games to judge that, but I just came back to the game after finishing the anime and I can definitely confirm that I keep hearing chatter from random civilians, whether it's them being high having a conversation about nothing or spending a whole minute trying to agree what to buy from a vending machine. And about gore, I've been massively positively surprised with the amount and quality of it that I see in the game now. Not only do you see limbs flying in all directions whether it be from explosions, high caliber weapons or slashes, they seem to have implemented volumetric gore or at least something that looks close enough for it to count in my book. What I mean by that is using high caliber weapons will not only dismember your enemies but it will also remove chunks of flesh from their bodies. I was very surprised seeing actual foot-wide holes in enemy torsos and, even though I can't confirm that, I'm quite sure that after shooting an enemy with a sniper rifle, I saw only the top part of their head getting removed, which is where they were hit, instead of the classic trick of the entire head vanishing
The show that runs through your soul in just 10 episodes. Truly a unique one
Anime connected to open world games is something I want more of.
V's story is about a year after episode 10 of Edgerunners. Wish there could've been some real easter egg items on those locations, or at least mention of those from Edgerunners when you reach those locations, example, random NPCs talking about it.
Well, maybe they might add in future, who knows.
Indeed, I really hope they have time time to go back and add a few more to some of the locations I put in this video. Even if it's just a bit of text, or a blood spot on the same location.
@@Morphologis, Yup, don't even have to be weapons, clothing or anything that can be use.
Maybe just some blood spots like you mentioned.
Maybe just some items that V can hang or put at home.
@@ghimsg Maybe a few glowers and notes being left in key locations.. highway.. dumpster.. corpo plaza... Actually scratch that last one... they can bloody bring her back with a off screen' platinum trauma team package! 😅
@@hivescumsteve6524, lol.. that will defeat the purpose of work from Trigger.
Beside, Trauma Team actually just legal Scavs.
It actually takes place while street kid V was in Atlanta, when you ask El Capitan about David V outright says I must have missed the action while in Atlanta
I really hope they make this an anthology series, and just have different crews in each season. They could go back and forth between pre-2077 and post-2077 and do some amazing tie ins. Really depends on the money they want to invest, but here's to hoping chooms!
Yeah this sounds great as much as I want to see how Lucy pushes forward I don't. I just want to leave it at that she lived her dream with David years ago (fake moon date+time with him) and now lives a peaceful life on the moon.
I just really wanna see more Jacke
@@LaughterOfSilence Would be cool if after the final ending in the main game lucy plays a role for V's invasion of Crystal Palace
Bro I really want more seasons and was really sad when (spoiler) David died as he is the main character so thay would make me extremely happy to have more seasons of the show
@@dracotias As we all my choom.
Small correction:
The Anime takes place not "a couple of years" only just around a year before the Game.
In the Edgerunners Quest, you are told by the NPCs that all of that happend "a little over a year ago."
To that, we can see in the Anime in a few places that it's 2076.
I loved how much Edgerunners drew from the video game world. Having played through CP2077 a few times, it was fun to see so many familiar looking locations.
A few you missed: The Arasaka Lab where David has some delusions and kills two people, that is the same lab, so it would seem, that you fight through if you do the solo ending and take them on yourself.
Post-Maine, when David and crew go attack Maelstroms, that location looked like the Tetanus club.
There were definitely many others, way too many to list. Hopefully someone will make an Edgerunners Tour mod to mark them all on the map and their link to the show.
I really want more Cyberpunk 2077 shows. Would love an anthology series that explores more of Night City, or even one that focuses on some of the unexplained secrets of the game.
I think it could be fairly cool to have an Afterlife series, tell the stories of the legends.
I can imagine the animators had a field day not having to create a completely unique background for every scene
that and being able to have direct references for the architecture of night city, bet they loved every second
@@caboose9843
It had the distinct feeling of a studio finally hitting their stride. I watched Kill la Kill and thought it was excellent despite not liking animé nor the storyline. This one really benefitted from the polish writing staff.
take screenshot paint over, done.
CDPR gave them a very nice sandbox to work with.
@@thepancakemann anime not animé
Kudos to them for putting places in the game into the anime. It’s odd visiting these places in the game. Even though the game and anime are fictional in every sense there is something oddly nostalgic about it.
Really adds to the city, making you feel like you’re just a small part of something much bigger.
Cool stuff! Great video btw.
Another location (not from the anime) is the memorial area, you can find the names of all the crew with messages left by Lucy. When you find David's and read what Lucy left, broke my heart...
The attention to detail is fucking insane, I genuinely had no idea how faithfully they recreated night city in the show. Just another thing to praise the anime on. God I hope trigger do more animated cyberpunk because it works so well at fleshing out the massive world.
it seems like a perfect fit as far as the world goes for their studio, its really cool seeing creators from the west and japan come together and make something so fucking cool together, i fucking love it !!
The luxury penthouse of David and Lucy isn't the same that V gets in the Sun ending. It has the same style and interior but aren't located in the same building 😁
The one where Lucy and David are is in megabuilding H8 which has the front view on the rocket launching isle, while V gets the penthouse located near megabuilding H10
You also get it in the reaper ending but yeah, cool to see even the penthouse in the series
Something that Morph literally said in the video.
Hopefully they will unlock V's mansion . Getting pissed that the doors are still locked
@@Ceelker No he didn't. He said, that V's luxury penthouse and David and Lucy's are the same. Which they are not, see original comment as to why.
There’s a mod that lets you buy and enter David’s and Lucy’s penthouse… it’s funny, cos it’s literally right across the street from V’s first apartment in the megablock… you can SEE it from the window in V’s apartment
The game is just beautiful. Its a shame it had such a bad launch, but CD Project Red has come through in the end. I feel they've redeemed themselves. Edgerunners + 2077 = perfection.
This was truly an amazing series they did. I never got attached so fast to them. Really loved David and Lucy relationship. Hope they do more with the anime..though the way things ended I'm not sure where they will go.
I just binge-watched all of Edgerunners in one sitting, and immediately after, i redownloaded cyberpunk. Despite all the initial bugs (many of which have been fixed) i just love the game, the story, the characters, the sights, the atmosphere, its just so perfectly executed. And not to mention they've pushed two major updates recently, fixing and adding the most requested features in the games history, they clearly still care for making this game as great as it can be. And advertising their game and update with such a great animated series? I've always loved CDPR, and they have my full trust that they'll make cyberpunk even better
I did the same, but it's honestly just a good game now. Still some glitches, but they'r mainly visual and small annoyances rather than anything truly gamebreaking.
i’ve recently redownloaded too but damn there is still a glitch that you get stuck in a call with someone and ever since then i stopped playing because it won’t let me progress further in the game
I've redownloaded and started re-playing it before the show came out and now that I've seen it I'm really having fun with the game, probably even more then I did in my first playthrough.
I did it the other way around lol.
I really wanted to replay Cyberpunk because its a good game, so I let my PC run during the night to download it. Meanwhile I finished Better Call Saul, and while I was scrolling through Netflix series I could watch, stumbled on this.
The bugs are pretty much gone.
I've seen
-a few times civilians spazzing out over firefights and running over others,
-one CTD, one save bug related to having the stupid crossplatform save enabled (why is that on by default) and
-one middling bad Sandevistan cooldown glitch I had to google to fix.
Sure, cars have no damage model and you can't kill yourself driving like a maniac, but really, I'm more upset by the firearm/ armor system that should really be overhauled..
A lot of these locations are part of V's story and you'll end up near them or at them at some point during the game. I think it's cool that they went all in to recreate these locations for the anime.
David's story was a carbon copy of V's.
David would've been perfectly fine being all cyber-ed up and using it with little drawbacks (basically just cooldowns).
David got ahold of Maine's gorilla arms (which was mentioned to be old and gave him problems)
In earlier episodes, we see David tried passing off Doc's software patch on an old tech for his school and it blew up the entire classroom.
V installed the chip to try to save the data inside of it as it broke and the install was corrupted as a result.
That's on the physical side. The psychological side:
David was already teetering between the traumas but JK's BD trance was made to accelerate or induce cyberpsychosis. He basically made David relive those cyberpsycho's last moments when they were cyberpsyched out and it wasn't on the standard limitation settings.
Johnny takes over V's body and tries to take control and become V.
In the end, both ended up at the top of Arasaka, duking it out with Adam Smasher all because of an Arasaka girl.
@@wanderingbufoon I dont think main had just gorilla arms, It was hybrid Gorilla arms and the PLS
@@wanderingbufoon a bit far from a carbon copy
@@BlueBD yes but you know what i mean there.
@@vsluj3508 how so? I gave examples of how similar they are. Yet, you give nothing as to how dissimilar they are.
If we are going through technicality, you'd be correct. D did not have a construct sharing his body.
Of course, outside of my exaggeration of being "carbon copy" the 2 cases are extremely similar.
This was one of my favorite animes I’ve ever watched, my jaw was dropping at the end I’m so glad they put Easter eggs in the game it genuinely made me happy that i can get his jackey
man it's so amazing to have all of this, I hope we get some more references in game from the anime/items or quests
and man please do another edgerunners series with maybe a different storyline or a continuation of lucy
I gott say that anime was a BRILLIANT business decision by cdpr. It's drawn thousands upon thousands of players back into or into the game for the first time.
I literally bought the game after finishing the anime after holding off for almost 2 years. Yeah sorry not sorry but Adam must die now
Yup, I bought CP2077 yesterday after watching the show
Yep, I myself went back to the game to torture Adam’s ass
@@Brickkzz same bought the game just to smash adam smasher
Gonna be replaying it again just to add a bit more lead into Adam Smasher's face for Rebecca
I really hope Lucy makes an appearance in the Prime Liberty dlc as either a side character or a sort of fixer/gig. CDPR would be committing a crime right there
I wouldn't want to see her in 3d imo
I wouldn't object if she shows up, but for the sake of good storytelling, I kinda hope we don't see her. When she's alone with David, she describes NC as a prison. I hope shes taken the opportunity to peace out.
@@LLemon_Pepper would be interesting to see her show up in sequel content from the aldecaldo camp after leaving nc with panam
Wouldn't really make sense considering all edgerunner events happened a year ago. She'd be on the moon
@@RemRDS She took a tour, but she didn't necessarily move there
Wow, what a marvelous video! I can't believe I missed so many of these watching the anime. Thanks, mate! You're a legend!
While watching the show i recognized many places, musics, vehicles... i *knew* them, like when you see a documentary of your own city. The fidelity of the anime to a game's setting hit me like this for the first time!
There was also a scene in a diner that looks to be Tom's Diner near V's apartment in Watson. In the anime, the characters are sitting in the second booth from the left; the table in the first booth has a sticker on it that looked about the same as the sticker on the table when V and Takemura meet, after V has recovered from the heist.
i saw that too lol had a little chuckle to myself
This is one of the rare times that a huge marketing campaign with interconntected media really works out for all. I already loved the game despite of its flaws but the anime made the universe much better to me. Could go on forever on how the choice of the games music and locations could have been a bad decision, but here it was the best way to go. This anime hit me on a strange level.
It’s the most played single player game on steam right now 2 years after it’s release I’d say the marketing campaign worked lol
@@goku8621 yup, that's what I meant.
There's only one reason why this anime didn't fail. CDPR has a fuck ton of passion for the CP universe. It's obvious as fuck that there wasn't a single second in the anime that was half-assed. Everything was thought-through, everything makes sense, tons of fan service and foreshadowings and subtle hints, etc.
Exactly the reason why I fell in love with anime in the first place. When it's done right, no other media outlet beats it for me. So happy CP: Edgerunners is so HQ.
Now all that's left is for me to buy a PS5 or a cracked PC and play Cyberpunk 2077.
@@IEatBears4Breakfast the anime is from studio trigger not cdpr tho
I LOVE the fact that everything is connected at the post-event level of detail, it's all plausible what happens in a place/apartment after a character's death or whatever happens, and everything was so in game since dayone, so it's all been thought of in advance for the anime.
these few episodes hit me harder than anything else ive watched in the last years. Its no bullshit, dense story and character building and just hit me right in the feelz.
Fo sho
I really hope more story comes out for Cyberpunk. Even with all the bugs and glitches it was one of my favorite games of 2021.
Then you're gonna be happy, the story expansion is coming 2023
You should take a look again now post 1.6 dropping. As a new player, I’ve found it extremely low on bugs now. The only issue for me is crafting and wardrobe causing the odd client side crash, but I’m a Star Citizen vet so that’s just standard haha
@@SHAH-UZER definitely am excited for the expansion, but it sounds like thatvis the end of this chapter of cyber punk. Hopefully they keep expanding the universe.
@@Libertas_P77 I have been looking at doing another player through while I wait for 3.18 to make it through evo
dude trust me i also had in when jt first came out and now that i have the xs with the new updates, the game feels brand new
The David Martinez has actually been avaliable at the Afterlife for a while. I finally picked up the game near the beginning of August, and it was already there. I remembered thinking "Who tf is David Martinez?" and then forgetting about it until finishing the show and immediately heading to see Claire to let my jaw drop at the subtle spoiler that I'd missed.
yeah pretty sure its been there since the beginning or close to it, a lot of us had the same reaction you did lmao
Thank you, loved the video! Awesome to see all the in-game locations from the show!
I think it's impressive and cool that the animation studio actually took the time to go in game and get the locations.
Just here to say that the David Martinez drink was available in the game long before the Edgerunners anime.
After the ending of the anime, I was only left with 1 thought. How strong is V? *Spoilers ahead*. Considering David couldn't even injure Adam Smasher with the cyberskeleton, for V to have defeated Adam Smasher with just regular military grade chrome is astounding.
I at first just figured it was because V can quickhack and was in a better state of mind to use cover and be tactical. But more important than all of that, though, is circumstance. David was falling into cyberpsychosis. Even by the time of the game, that has no cure. He alludes to not caring what happens to him so long as Lucy is safe, so since he wouldn't be sane even if he killed Smasher, he seems to have decided to sacrifice himself to allow Lucy to escape unharmed and pursue her dreams. Since his entire story arc is him killing himself slowly to chase other people's dreams. V, on the other hand, has no choice but to get through Smasher and to Mikoshi. On the otherside of Smasher is the hope that V could go back to a normal life, so both them and Johnny are fighting for their lives. For V, Mikoshi and Alt were their hope. For David, Lucy was his hope. Both managed to "win" with different fight outcomes.
I think it really lends to the idea of no new game plus and even the level feeling toughest around lvl 20-35. Once V evolves over 40, V is pretty much the most legendary Cyberpunk ever.
V had Johnny Silverhand
@@Gyrospire David was slowly losing himself from cyberpsychosis but V was literally dying and was also losing his/her identity due to Johnny Silverhand’s consciousness taking over the body. So if David could barely make a dent on Adam Smasher even with all that insane cyberskeleton on him then what makes me believe V could destroy Smasher with ease while on the verge of death?
V is an edgerunner and a netrunner while D is just an edgerunner and a rookie to boot.
Tysm for this, was awesome had this experience!
I actually loved that whilst watching the anime, I instantly recognised all the locations because I had played and finished the game a couple of times before. So it felt like, coming back home after being a way from Night City
It was so cool after spending almost 300 hours playing the game i could recognize almost all of the places seen in the anime instantly, just couldn't pin point the exact location lol
I'm getting close to finishing the game after like 40hrs in. So i'm wondering what can you do after finishing alll the side missions and whatnot? Did you just restart another campaign?
Finished the first season last night, and wow... The game made me feel strongly for certain characters and the show doubled those feelings. The series was also nostalgic in a way, like the art style and intro music was a nod to late 90s early 2000s anime series. Trigger did such an amazing job with Edgerunners. To those who haven't watched it yet, GO. WATCH. IT.
"first season"
Hey, guys, look, he thinks Trigger will ever make a second season of something!
@@TheByQQ CDPR controls how much is made , so they might , trigger just animates , CDPR did the script
@@TheByQQ They dont have to make second seasons of their completed storys so u are in a way right
Gosh this Anima ripped my heart out. Great video, when you mentioned the Drink it made me chock up.
Amazing job man, well done
For non mod users there is a way to reach the rooftop of Lucy's appartment. All you need is a double jump cyberware, head at the back of the building just northeast near trauma team, keep walking until you reach the corner end you will find a sign named "matterhorn swiss", on top of it there are series of balconies , climb those. Once you reach to the topmost balcony jump next to the appartment building's rooftop,. Enjoy!
That Guts shotgun is nuts, Rebecca had good taste in guns I have to say. I spec'd into the boomstick and gave it a whirl... Don't worry about the recoil if you do because after one shot nothing is going to be in much of a condition to take advantage of you being knocked off balance. You may want to wear a rain coat as well when you use it...
Jump off a building with it and shoot the ground as you land!
WATCHED THE SHOW AND CAME BACK!! THANKS FOR THE WARNING!!
Big thanks for your effort, choom. Never thought I would watch a series of anime, but man was this a good one. The ending hits really hard if you consider the fate of V's romantic interests in the game.
its crazy how i remembered all the location's in the game while watching the show and its also crazy how the final mission we take a insane job on the moon and thats where a very important person from edgerunners winds up i think that both have been in the works since inception but to have that moon heist expansion would be awsome
Before Cyberpunk 2077 came out, they had said we'd go to the moon for a mission.
I think that's the reason why they chose all those locations. It's where pretty much V had gone with the main quest line.
@@wanderingbufoon It was great when watching the show, I knew so many of the locations like Iv been there before and im seeing it from someone elses perspective lol
Rebecca was my favorite gunbunny gremlin!
I'm replaying from the start with a "David" build in mind, but definitely getting Guts and speccing up shotties!
She gonna blow you up into oblivion if you call her that to her face.
Gunbunny gremlin! That is so perfect for her, gonna remember that!!
Rest well, little gunbunny gremlin.
@@rustywarhorse9016 only in good fun. She's too lithe and not hairy enough to be called a demolition dwarf. Maybe goblin instead of gremlin?
@@wilemelliott she could be a dwarf that are just really short people
@@ivmxthvi5296 Gremlin, goblin, whatever. Not dwarf though... no beard
Really good production quality, +1 sub choom
So cool dude - very well done!
They also included the area where this weird Night-to-Day glitch happens when you drive pass that certain area. In game it goes from night to day in a snap. It was shown on the last episode of the anime when they were chased by arasaka.
Which area is that?
Oh interesting
Great to see you covering Cyberpunk too Morph! I’ve taken a break from SC and finally delved into Night City myself this week once 1.6 dropped, and have been really impressed with it so far. The NPC behaviour and general immersiveness is rather how I hope cities like Area 18 will be some day. It’s not comparable I know, but I do think it’s pretty fantastic. A video on the iconic locations is ideal for me therefore, thank you!
Literally almost teard up when you mentioned the drink name… such a good show
Thank you so much for doing this. So cool to see these areas pretty much being 1:1
I have been checking your channel for a year awaiting a new Cyberpunk video. The previous one was just too interesting. Thank you Morphologis! I look forward to seeing more of Cyberpunk coverage!
Man. I finished the show yesterday and it was fantastic. I pretty much figured it would end the way that it did but I was surprised at how quickly I was actually attached to the characters and that ending after only 10 episodes still hit pretty hard.
10:03 As soon as you said the major spoiler was here I instantly knew it would be a drink and somehow that felt like I had just watched the ending of the show for a second time. Right in the feels
idk if i am missing somerthing or ia it juat the description of the drink?
@@maggo6689 huge spoiler for the last episode:
drinks in the afterlife are named after legends, like Johnny Silverhand. but this happens after they die. meaning, if you see a drink named "David Martinez", you know he died.
@@vukpsodorov5446 You know he died in a really spectacular death! And why do all those legends die from Arasaka hands by the way?
@@tejii_ yeah, that's true. never noticed Johnny, David, Jackie and arguably even V all died to arasaka. circumstances, i guess? i mean, arasaka is probably the most hated corp amongst the mercs in the afterlife, but also very well equipped (due to the 2023 nuke incident, i guess although adam smasher existed prior to that)
@@vukpsodorov5446 kinda reminds me of Metal Gear Solid 4, big corporations engaged in a proxy war through the use of PMCs (mercs like V, Jackie and David), Safer battlefields (trauma team) and the use cyber-enhancements (nano machines)
beautiful man, well done
Your videos are so well made. I dont know what more i can say. Very excellent.
I remember you mentioning the possibility of making videos about every different nightcity district and their architectures, even if this idea is abandoned im still hyped for those videos.
I would definitely like to see that!
Same, count me in for some cyberpunk content!
I think it might be great to look at Vs apartments, we shall see!
Night City is so impressive for a fictional town, the architecture is so distinct you can show me any location and I will tell you the district, that or I played too much of this game. I think I know NC better than my home town lol
i love that CDPR are building up the universe behind the game. Story and Questlines are amazing too, especially Panam's. might start another playthrough
look up cyberpunk 2020 or cyberpunk red cp77 is a direct sequel to the tabletop game an mike pondsmith the original creator of cyberpunk helped with the writing of the video game as well but there is already a huge amount of lore an world building just look it up a bit. personal note when you know more about adam smasher is ten times scarier even tho in the game he's a bit of a bitch.
Awesome video btw, Wish there where more guides like yours.
I loved the story of the anime and the anime itself, everything in it was awesome. So to be able to view this stuff in the core game will be awesome and very nostalgic (maybe even sad) I watched the anime yesterday and that plus that awesome song (one you play in your video background) made me buy the actual game...
This is awesome please keep up the Cyberpunk content!
That location beside the bridge, the Buck-A-Slice, that where Kiwi… gives herself a moment, per se.
is that were kiwi dies?
@@onlineghost9813 if watches the anime, you know. If not, I'm not gonna exactly say just so I give other chooms a chance.
@@st.paddymad7085 yeah, thanks to you i remembered. They did well with this update linking the series to it. I just wish they add some of the cut content back to the game. I want to go back to it. maybe when the dlc comes out.
@@st.paddymad7085 Wait I don't remember what happened, do you know what episode and timestamp you're referring to?
@@amildlydisappointingsalad6058 it's the 10th episode and I forget the timecode, but probs round the 10-12 minutes, I think.
This is a great video! You did an amazing job choom! Cyberpunk 2077 is my fav single player game of all time and I'm so happy for the success of the anime! Started a new Edgerunners inspired play thru and will use your guide to check out some of the locations I couldn't find!
Really great job with the video!
Amazing video. I absolutely loved It. I knew this locations were on the game but I never imagined seen them. Defenetly gonna replay the game.
The cyberpunk world is amazing! I love the game and the anime and really hope we get much more content.
I'm so going to look into most of these places when I get home from work immediately. I love Cyberpunk Punk, love Night City, hate that the anime is so short, yet so heartwrenchingly sweet. I hope the do more of an Anthology series about different people within the Cyberpunk, there's just way too many stories left to be told.
My god, it's already been a year since... Time flies man... gotta rewatch the anime in sadness again
Subbed..because this video deserves it.Thank you.🙃
For sure the series should continue as an anthology. It should also follow the same kinda life track as the game, like David was a street kid, I think we should follow a corpo or a nomad next. Or use the drinks in game to tell stories about all the legends of night city. For sure I really think that the series deserves more seasons as the first one was executed to perfection.
oh my god, they could do so much WORLDBUILDING WITH THAT, heres to hoping thats what they go with
I never think about it but you have right. I don't think that we can get the second part of the story with David but as you said. David can be part of a story about Street kit and we still can see stories about Corpo and Nomad.
However, it is the second option with David. As we know, David was more resistant to cyber psychosis. Even reaper told to David that is no way that he use all military immunosuppressants but he used all and with Lucy help, he was able to control himself. Arasaka could safe him and for example testing on him new toys. Even if he has his drink in Afterlife, Arawak’s could change his personality and no one on Night City know about it.
It'd be interesting to see how Corpo David finds and falls in love with Lucy.
Probably the best anime I have seen in years.
Finding out that all the iconic people get a drink named after they and going to the place and getting one seeing his name there really hit deep man
Thanks for making this video dude.
There’s also the Maelstrom hideout which is self explanatory, and then there’s the scav hideout where Max tac dips on the cops. Looks identical to the one from the game, as well as you see David and the gang in a similar looking hideout as the Scav Haunt
The door to the room is in that building but it's locked
*SPOILERS, DO NOT READ UNLESS FINISHED THE SERIES*
I went to the place where D and Adam Smasher fought and found a glow stick and cross necklace in the corner of one of the food court places under the glass circle in the plaza. Might just be me but I think it’s a tiny tomb stone for David.
What color was the glow stick? David was often highlighted with green lighting in the show.
@@samreddig8819 the glow stick was green I think
The anime fully incorporated the locations on David’s way to school. From the ledges where the BD freaks hang out to the NCart station he takes. It’s all on 1 street. They really did a phenomenal job with recreating locations.
Thank you for this video. I had some trouble finding some of it and you helped me :)
How you got this pulled together so fast after the series drop is amazing! and love the cut-ins, with the Cyberpunk colors and effects. Typical attention to detail, Morph!! Appreciate the warnings about the spoilers as well. So, will have to come back to catch the last 25% of the video!
nothing had ever made me feel the way i felt after my first not 1 but 2 playthroughs of cyberpunk (im a person who typically HATES replaying games over again even ones with multiple paths). edgerunners gave me the exact same feeling and i am so hyped for the dlc. i really hope that they do more series, the reception to the show has been great so i have high hopes for more. how im off to start another playthrough.
Nice work buddy !
Very easy to follow. Thank you for uploading this. Unfortunately, I couldn't get into Rebecca's apartment---I guess I already did the mission.
Honestly I hope Cyberpunk gets more expansions ( at least only 4 including Phantom Liberty ) and with these expansions we get some remembrances of these characters as well like maybe meeting Lucy and Falco.
Phatom Liberty is the only planned expansion at the minute according to CDPR. However that might change if Phatom Liberty does well.
@@Rhysdoesletsplays that’s what I’m hoping cause the way the game feels like each act is only 1 week in V’s life ( presumably ) I say this cause I feel like with the idea of more expansions it takes a week off of V’s calendar giving a better decline in when V’s near their end.
You get into a text conversation with Falco in the miniquest that gives you David's jacket, so that's something.
@@StarRider587 I know that but actually meeting him woulda been better imo
@@RCHCourierTV 100%
Man, this anime was so awesome. I hope we see more seasons somehow. And I hope we get the chance to interact with Lucy in the game
This was amazing. Thank you. I visited the places thanks to this.
Really nice video!!
I like that the way you get the jacket is that Falco gives it to you
It means either that he always kept onto it, or Lucy had it and was okay with him giving it to you
It probably hurt too much if Lucy had kept it and falco even says that we and David are allot alike being a merc that popped outta nowhere and took nc by storm
I just binged the entire anime and I’ve got the rare feeling of emptiness I can’t shake I really want David’s story to continue somehow but it probably won’t
This video is great for a cool down maybe I’ll play the game one day if the bugs are gone
Apart from graphical glitches, most of the game breaking bugs are gone. At least if you play on pc or XsX/ps5.
Wow I love the use of the cyberpunk lingo and the pacing is nice, very entertaining. Also, that's hilarious about the first floor second floor thing, I actually didn't know Europe did that either lol
Man the lucy apartment is so hard to reach , but definitely worth it !
I can't stop thinking about the girl watching the news about a merc breaking into arasaka tower and that same merc was wearing David's jacket.
The cool thing about David's drink is that it's been in the game from day one.
I'm sure she'd be happy to see Smasher gone, just don't tell her what happens next.
Also, would be cool if finishing the story with David's jacket meant getting a message from an unknown number. There's so much cool stuff they could've done, it's a shame they didn't.
Like, they literally only added a sidequest that answers nothing and says nothing, and like 2 items. That't it. The least they could do is expand the sidequest
literally on here after jus finishing the gahdamn anime. im shook in tears 💀 watchin this vid jus to find every location and reminisce… while having I want to stay at your house playin in the background:,)
Props to you playing the greatest song on the first part.
Binged through the show these last two days - very, very nice. Could've had one more episode leading up to the ending, culminated pretty quickly there, but well told, round story overall, great visuals, use of music and very enjoyable if at times trope-y characters.
But who am I to criticise a trope.
The V I have the most hours with is a cloaked runner-girl, stealthing her way through NC, complete with monowire.
(also has a knife and silenced guns though)
So yeah, found myself right at home.
On a side note: Cyberpunk really got stealth gameplay right somehow. The mechanics aren't the most involved, but intuitive and it just feels good. If you haven't tried it yet, maybe give it a try. I found it incredibly enjoyable.
