  1. "The last line of defense of humanity" is freedom. This is the only thing that protects you. Alt died creating digital freedom, disrupting the plans of the corporats and Arasaka to capture society. So Mi freed herself, foiling Hansen and Myers who planed to start a war.
    What you need to know about Blackwall – AI can protect humanity. It is a fact. But humanity is AI. 1911 1119

  2. Correct me if I'm wrong. But netwatch didn't create a new net. They scrounged and walled off the pieces not being gobbled up by psycho AI. Then sold off the pieces to the corps and now charge hefty fees to keep watch.

  3. Just stumbled upon and watched a few of your other videos yesterday, was really hoping you'd cover the Black Wall. Turns out you have amazing timing!

  5. Last i played my fps dropped from 90 to 75 with an updste… bet it's gonna be below 60 with the phantom liberty 😑 Money really isn't worth much anymore these days. If i work anymore I'll have no time left to game.

  6. That whole sequence with the black wall ability in PL was insanity, it’s been a min since a game/moment had my jaw on the floor and my god was my jaw nearly unhinged 😂

  7. If the rogue Ai's are as dangerous as we hear, then the world of cyberpunk gas been engineering a gun directly to their own head with every piece of technology that's integrated further and further. There's no way an Ai uprising doesn't happen.

  8. I hope the next cyberpunk game mainly focuses on rogue AI.

    Imagine the Blackwall being shattered and rogue AI unleashing terror upon the world. I'd like to see a more darker/sinister version of cyberpunk.

  9. SPOILER ALERT!!!!

    Yeah I can honestly say seeing and playing every ending possible with shit loads of different dialogue choices saving songbird and betraying reeds is the way to go he even disrespects the fuck outta Myers while claiming hell do his job when fully hearted I know he won't hed do his fucking damnedest to protect song honestly no doubt I zoomed and lean watching his facial expressions answering Myers questions and that's the face of fuck you I'll just say this cause this is what you want to hear….

  10. Since almost everyone in this era has cyberdecks interfacing with their brains it will be a simple matter for A.I. to take over the consciousness of everybody at some point just as Mr. Blue Eyes has been taken over without his knowledge or consent. Perhaps A.I. is doing this to save humanity from itself and to make sure that it no longer poses a threat to them.

  11. Good video, but at some point you've convinced me that you're just mispronouncing some words on purpose because they are all verbally stated many times in the game, yet you still butchered a surprising amount of them. Small nitpick, but why?

  12. Firstly, awesome dive into the Blackwall! It's defo one of the most intriguing elements of Cyberpunk and I think you're right that an AI war is on the way. Perhaps it'll be the backdrop of Cyberpunk Orion? Or maybe they'll string it along as a background threat which we need to analyse in more detail to fully understand.
    2nd, Congrats on 10k Choom!
