With the car, I think it was just that the Sandevistan let him turn the wheel and make minute corrections in a fraction of a second. Like the first turn, he turns the wheel all the way to the left faster than someone's normal reaction time.
It's even kind of justified cause those executive cars are built like tanks, even the machinery. So it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility to be able to crank the wheel like that while doing minimal damage. Along with everything else David does to that car. It'll be pretty dinged up by the end but it'll get there. As over the top as everything, it's still sort of grounded. It's like the best Cyberpunk pen and paper session, with a full on romance and everything Community style.
Trigger put a lot of inside jokes for people who played the game in the anime. The car chase wasn't just to show David's capability with his cyberware, but sort of a jab at how slippery and floaty the driving was in vanilla Cyberpunk 2077 when it came out, lol.
The monologue they gave early on about Night City 100% made me think of all the time I've spent in New York city. It just wears you down, makes you a different person. You're more on edge, you treat people different. You know how they say Night City is it's own character in the game, well New York City is a leaving breathing person that impacts you on a daily basis if you live in there. And this is coming from someone who's lived in big cities all his life. It's just built different.
Lucy’s melee is the monowire, super fun to use in game. I recently set my skills n perks to be like Lucy (netrunner with good reflexes n stealth) very op. Can clear a while building while sitting in the car then round off the remaining enemies with monowire. Loving the reaction n vids, keep them coming choom!!
Have to agree, really love the found family aspect of this show and wish there was more interactions like that in the game.The parts with Jackie were so brief and would enjoyed having more of them.
as someone who LOVED sparkling water when I was a kid, at some point transitioned to non-carbonated water, not gonna lie... it sensitizes you, if I try some sparkling water or a soda now, that shit does pop. same with other stuff like coffee: when i was studying I was a coffee junkie. after I laid off the coffee for some time and tried some espresso then later, I thought I would die from a heart attack. adaptation to shit is real my man. that is why alcoholics can drink like a horse or coffee junkies can gurgle that shit as well without a real effect while everyone else gets hyperactive. SPOILERS: same with david and the immunblockers later on, a few shots does not cut it anymore lol...
@@mariebourgot4949 Sorta, thing is that you can lose it all pretty fast in the world of Cyberpunk. Corps are always full of infighting, and one miscalculated move will end pretty brutally for them. That's kinda the main point of the setting. No matter who you are, you're never safe. Even Saburo Arasaka met a violent end, and that dude was at the literal top of the mountain.
Faraday is a "fixer" basically a go between between mercs of Night City and the Corps, or whoever hires them basically. He's the same thing as Rogue Amendiares in the game. 12:48 I couldn't agree with you more. Our parents generation, I feel, set us up to fail, filling our heads with nonsense like "you can be anything you want to be" NO.YOU.FUCKING.CANT. *SOME* people get to be what they want, the most of us will be stuck being a cog in the great machine of society, doing whatever we have to survive.
Playing the victim doesn't help either, there are plenty of people that started with nothing and worked their way up even with shit parents or no parents at all. Do people have better start than others? Absolutely. I feel like you had "some" and "most" mixed up though MOST people "have the opportunity" to be what they want but either are too lazy or make dumb decisions. The SOME people who truly can't are most likely those who are born or became someone with no arms and legs and blind and deaf. But you know, no one will truly know, as we never met every single human earth at a personal level, and never will. So when someone says "I tried" who knows if they're actually bull shitting.
Being a parent myself you have to balance yourself between the two schools of thought, just like feeling your child's head with blind naive optimism isn't the answer, neither is filling it with the opposite end of the spectrum with intense nihilism. You have to teach your children to work towards the goals they want. Yeah, it's not feasible to be "anything you want" for a lot of people, but there is always the opportunity to raise yourself to a better place. I'll tell my son as he grows that if he has a dream, he needs to work hard towards making it a reality, but he needs to be prepared for the possibility of things blowing up in his face. I feel it's slightly irresponsible to just say a blanket statement about it all being the past generation's fault. Being a parent is scary man, there's no manual, you just have to wing it as you go and make the best decisions you think possible for your children.
One of the things that Gloria revelation did to me was add a bit more to her crying in the car with David. Like, she probably had to resort to selling cyberware she got from dead people just to pay for David's tuition. I think she felt some guilt doing that, only for her to hear David to say he didn't want to go to school. Granted, she didn't really know if Corpo life was going to be better. She probably just thought living life in the streets is as bad as it gets. I mean, if she didn't have the Sandevistan at the time, what would have happened to David after she passed? That Street life would have swallowed him whole in a day or two. He was but a teenager but already buried in debt. On the other hand, there'd have been a lot of insurance had they been living the Corpo life, like Trauma Team coverage. Maybe Gloria's train of thought was something along those lines.
In broader anime, a focus on youth and youthful feels is pretty common, but it's not common for a show to capture that as well as Edgerunners. This is a very, very top tier anime
Totally a yes to candy corn from me. I absolutely love how familiar this show is, how much the characters, locations, weapons, and mostly the sounds feel just like the game. I personally don't think his cyberware actually "connects" to the car, it seems more that he was just using his super speed to have better reflexes while driving, and could just make superhuman moves by "controlling" the car better than someone without it? I love that this show can make you pull this reaction 5:37 about 3 times a show. Also that guy got too many eyes, every time I see him I think "why you got so many eyes, guy?"
Only she says that excited about things she knows in the game enlai Easter eggs on like somebody I know like I meant somebody I mean everyone the ones that are watching cyberpunk anime they just don't care they don't know about the reaction about this now I mean months ago
