  2. So fully agree with all this but would like to add but is in my own opinion I may disclaim that I believe while uploading Johnny to soul killer that spider Murphy tampered with his memories would be cool to find out why his memories are the way they are and why he knows his memories are fucked…imo once again lol

  3. I wonder if Morgan Blackhand was erased from Johnny Silverhand memories? If he was there along with Spider Murphy, Rouge and Silverhand himself. As if they wanted to change history as a whole?

    Idk, maybe I'm thinking to hard

  4. to the person who will never support jhonny gd choice because he is a terrorist and insane person look at what he doing to v holding v against there will plus jhonny shows his true colors after panam quest how he say he will kill anyone take v boddy if he have to all because of some beef with arasaka now I do think cdpr change the stroy to make keua look gd and to push his character as some rocker in actually a terrorist I point to remember what happened to a fbi building in real life it's the same thing some guy had a problem with fbi so look at jhonny has a problem with arasaka so comments how jhonny not a terrorist or is he a terrorist

  5. I would love โ€œA Time of Redโ€ video Iโ€™m curious on how Night City was able to rebuild and recover after immense destruction like that and how portions of Night City isnโ€™t still Irradiated in 2077

  6. but here's the thing, adam smasher was ordered by saburo arasaka to dispose of JS body which is why he has his stuff(tipped in quest dialogue) which would not make sense if the event of JS getting soul killed in front of saburo had not happened (hard to believe saburo would order adam smasher to track down and bury JS body for no reason) plus the fact saburo still remembers JS face even after decades(from his own journal). all these information did not come from johnny so you can't use the excuse of johnny misremembering events.
    it seems the game is in a different time line, one in which JS at least didn't die in the tower and was soul killed not by spider but in the presence of saburo.

  7. Yeah, I would definitely enjoy further info on the times of Red.

  8. It's funny how youtube can mix up context for a video game event with a real life tragedy, so stupid. It even says in the title "Cyberpunk LORE".
    Thanks for the vid man!

  9. Glad I'm not the only one using 'reliquary' instead of just 'relic'.
    I started calling the one in V's head 'the reliquary' to differentiate between that one and the less advanced version they are offering publicly.
    Plus, it fits Saburo's style to consider it a container of holy artefacts or remains (lol)

  10. I've always loved how Johny see's himself as this anarchist terrorist fighting against the 'man' in 2077, when the act he is known for was one of the most blatent corporate and government sponsored events in cyberpunk history! Militech isn't any better than Arasaka, the only reason Johny had a beef with Arasaka was because they kidnapped his girlfriend, not because he was fighting any great cause. He took corpo money as quickly as the next guy!
