CYBERPUNK 2077 Corpo Lifepath Beginning | Battleground Arasaka | Ambient Soundtrack 

So much wasted potential, the corpo path should be the path where you become an arasaka ally, heck you might not even need to meet Johny

@Shelled Ghost Personally, Saburo Arasaka would be more interesting than Johhny. Since he would experience the the poor and corrupt places of Night City with you. Mabe speaking about how lost the city is with a Japanese saying etc. Or giving you advice by wisdom quotes. Things like that

@@b-17gflyingfortress6 That would be interesting, I really hope for a more corpo feel as no matter what you do in the first game, you're pretty much destined to live a street kid life, at least until late game. I would've loved more time in Arasaka aswell and actually getting to explore that life path.

I personally would’ve love if they were able to let you choose sub lifpaths in the life path, like not only do you play the one we experienced but maybe other one like being a arasaka net runner, studying at the academy being forcefully married off for a corpo biz deal. Hopefully we’ll get way more options in the sequel like joining gangs etc.

Great thoughts here! I'd agree too that it's definitely the most interesting having Johnny implanted as a sort of antagonistic dual protagonist in corpo V's mind rather than that of a street kid/nomad.

Vs Story makes the Corporate Background perfect. But suddenly Jackies appearance and every other side character doesnt fit into this Background. Why should a corporate hang out with someone like Jackie or go into a cheapy strip club downtown... A corporate can effort better. Therefore i find the whole street kid background fits way better into the first few chapter of the story and city ambience. But in the last chapters the Corporate Story fits better...

Corporate followed by the Panam ending feels like a full story tbh because you technically experience all three. Start as a Corpo, play as a Street Kid, end as a Nomad.

@@c1pher_1337 I think its not completely spelled out but rather inferred that V grew up a street kid too, or at least grew up in night city, NOT having connections to the corporate lifestyle. I mean theres kids in that city who were born for the streets but worked hard and made lives for themselves amongst the corporations. Right?! I think in this beginning, its made clear that V and Jackie have known each other a long time. Either in their older years or maybe even as far back as being children. And while it seems like they're not entirely close until after the montage, they've obviously done some sort of work together before and know each other well enough for Jackie to check up on her in that first scene via holo-call. He cares. Its clear. As for the bar, again like I said, I think she worked hard to get to where she is when we meet her and had gone through a lot a lot of street kid adventures in her youth. It's pretty impressive regardless because its canon that V is only 22 in the game. I think she's been mixing these two lives for quite some time now and was capable of a lot of shady things to get to where she is in the introduction, you know? Like Jackie literally tells her more or less that she can hide her past but she can't forget it. And after the bar scene where the corpos take all her shit away, Jackie's relieved and happy for her, telling her that she can finally be herself again, meaning she used to be someone who wasn't a complete corpo puppet...meaning he knew her beforehand too. Its a really cool introduction and leaves a lot up to the imagination in terms of backstory, because its sort've like we're getting a streetkid AND corpo V altogether. One is just clearer and more prominent, more recent than the other. So I dunno, it makes sense to me. Hopefully that spelled some stuff out for you (as you can tell, I'm extremely passionate about this game..lol)

@@c1pher_1337 Corpos have to develop connections outside their structure. You don't want to carry out a job that can be traced back to you. Seeing as how V was a counter-intelligence guy, that pretty much makes him akin to a CIA type operative who hires locals to get him information. In that sense, Jackie is probably a street guy V picked up to handle dirty work. And Jackie probably saw V as a way to climb up the ladder. They end up using one another enough times to be close friends, especially after Jackie saved V with the cartel situation. It's honestly the only background that makes V and Jackie's relationship strong enough to be best friends.

I've only played this opening sequence, but it already stands out as very different from the other two. I'm really enjoying it so far!

@@SlowWalkthroughs Let me know how it goes! I'm tempted to start up a second corpo save xD

@@SlowWalkthroughs Lol yeah, enjoy that 15 minutes

Corpo has some savage texts throughout the game

@@moisherosenberg1650 Aye, I like the corpo life path so much is my own headcanon for V. Riches to rags to richness of friends story arc.

same here brother, as a business student I felt that the corpo lifepath should have at least the option to hire people as bodyguards, set up teams for fixers to earn some extra $ and the possibility to work for Arasaka or Militech or other companys as an independent contractor, also the corpo vehicles were pretty good but there should have more options like the Aero transport from the beginning of the game

@@mercedesbenzdelos90s tell you what- after almost a decade in the corpos and reaching shaman-manager-specialist of a couple processes, I'm certain a Corpo V wouldn't just live on the street, but immediately apply to all NC's corpos. And they would love to hire him, as experienced people (V wasn't a low level employee- he dealt with critical ops) are always welcome and turnover of rats killing themselves is high. Plus Kang Tao or Miltech's research capabilities are similar to 'saka, so it's very likely they would be able to assist V much better than random thugs of Night City. In fact I got disappointed by the corpo ending, as they're all depicted like the Enclave. 100% evil, can't join them, they'll screw you over. As if all the gangsters and fixers of Night City were better!

@@bjorntrollgesicht1144 1000% agree, the possibilities were endless but idk why the game is so focused on seeing the corpo lifepath as "le evil shady business ppl" the ending was lacking and I just can't see why CDPR never thought a ending were V at least gets to be a corpo god since he is practically inmortal??? And he geta to control and help the people of night city but oh well at least the tabletop game still is good

@@mercedesbenzdelos90s time of course. They probably could have fleshed things out a lot more, many things are mostly implemented (like public transport and controllable AVs). I can bet that there was a lot more to the plot as well, but deadlines are deadlines- what we've got was half-baked at best. Nothing new in this business- look at Skyrim. Also half-finished and disappointing at release point, also with a huge part of the planned mechanics cut out and still managed to become a legendary game. All it took was a decade of modding and re-releases. Diablo II was no different- a buggy mess at around 1.0, only later releases turned it into what it is- and that was 20 years ago! So no, nothing new under the sun.

i like being anti corpo. Those mfers betrayed me! F them all!

And then afterwards think how slipping and fleeting that feeling actually is...

character creation and pause menu music would be nice :)

@@alexwiebe7744 Oh nice suggestions! I'll look into those, and I'm glad you're enjoying the videos too!

Thank you so much for this, the part after 6:40 was exactly what I was looking for. For some reason im getting original fallout soundtrack vibes from this one. This was the perfect intro for me to the game, just looking at your boss in dread after he nonchalantly offs some of the conspirators, chilling in his couch. All the empiness, back-stabbing, high cortisol levels and high stress makes you question a lot, the thing we do for money, or maybe just for acknowledgment, or having a higher status. I really thought the whole game would go on like this, being a part of it all or giving you the option to destroy it all from within. Well, it turned out to be just a 15 minute sequence, still it was worth it though :)

​@@imtalator You're so welcome, I'm glad it satisfies! And I agree with you, both with it absolutely nailing the cold blooded corporate energy, and wishing that there was more to it. Hopefully now this video can fill in a bit of that corpo content shaped hole for you though!

I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying them while working! I'm not sure what you mean by downloaded necessarily, but if you're watching them offline I'd kindly request that you watch from RU-vid instead. It really does support the channel!

After doing three 100% playthroughs, i liked the Corpo lifepath more than the other two. My personal wish for each lifepath is that you actually did a full successful mission as that lifepath before it all goes to pewp. Imagine actually partaking in some skulduggery *with* the full backing of Arasaka.

@@captainsharazad My favorite is Nomad. However, I would say Corpo is second for me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I love hearing others' opinions. Also, Corpo is the only one you see the main enemies base from the beginning. Your V knows how they work. So it's pretty unique I'd say.

@@captainsharazad I wish the opening prologues were longer too. I understand getting into the midst of things asap, but I'd have loved even an optional side-gig, just for those of us who want to draw things out a little longer, immerse a bit more in V's lifepath.

​@@Dabst3rPlays I'd say this is the most unique of the intros, too. Playing this one last of the three really emphasises how large the gap between the corps and the streets actually is. Also, I love the design of everything Arasaka. It couldn't really look, feel or sound more oppressively corporate!

@@SlowWalkthroughs For sure! That's what makes them so intimidating as well.

Thank you for the words, I'm glad to hear that! And sure, do you or anyone else happen to know when they play in game?

​@@SlowWalkthroughs Tower Lockdown is played after the Arasaka board meeting when siding with Hanako. I think it is playing while out of combat. As for Mining Minds, it plays during the Dream On quest, it first starts when you find the [REDACTED] room and later plays a bit stronger when talking to Elizabeth at the ramen place.

@@Da0827 Firstly thank you for such a detailed reply, it really makes my job easier. Someone requested the Dream On music earlier, so that one's already in progress! I'll check out the Tower Lockdown scene and see what I can do with that, too!

@@SlowWalkthroughs It's the least I could do. Thank you for considering my request. :)

This is a really great suggestion. I'm not sure why I hadn't even considered shorter videos before, but I'll definitely give that a shot in the future and see how it goes. Thank you very much!

16:24 is what I was looking for thanks

It won't be ready for a few days at least, sorry! I'm balancing a fair amount of requests on top of my own projects right now, but I will get around to it, and since you're so eager I'll push it up the schedule a bit.
