Alright, welcome to Game Time with Grandpa Lex. 00:00:14.960 |
I sadly don't have time to play games these days, 00:00:18.160 |
but they've been a source of a lot of pleasure 00:00:23.760 |
Might as well enjoy it every once in a while. 00:00:27.680 |
but if we're being honest, 2021 is looking quite insane. 00:00:39.080 |
I think cyberpunk 2077 is supposed to be a game 00:00:42.080 |
you could play if you do all the side quests. 00:00:44.440 |
You should be able to play for at least 100 hours. 00:00:59.840 |
Oh, and please check out our sponsors in the description, 00:01:05.360 |
So one is for your muscles and the other is for your grammar. 00:01:13.360 |
Please check them out in the description to get a discount 00:01:39.980 |
I really haven't played video games in a long, long time. 00:01:43.540 |
All right, normal is enemies will have all the tools 00:01:56.620 |
who just want to sit back and enjoy the story. 00:02:04.500 |
you learn to appreciate the story, not the combat. 00:02:10.660 |
and lose within five minutes and then go run. 00:02:30.840 |
Nomad is roaming the badlands, looting scrapyards, 00:02:53.080 |
Street Kids, they say if you want to understand the streets, 00:03:08.180 |
The only law in Night City you have yet to break. 00:03:23.000 |
Few leave the corporate world with their lives. 00:03:34.440 |
exploited secrets and weaponized information. 00:03:41.280 |
I'm pretty sure Nomad is basically where it's at. 00:03:45.840 |
I wish you could wear a suit and tie as a Nomad. 00:03:56.640 |
V's appearance may sometimes affect the behavior 00:04:01.360 |
Appearance doesn't matter, it's all about the inside. 00:04:04.300 |
I feel very uncomfortable with the selection. 00:04:06.560 |
So there's this guy with a shortcut and some red hair. 00:04:24.200 |
All right, let's just keep generating random ones 00:04:31.040 |
until we get close to what we're looking for. 00:05:36.220 |
so I think eyes truly are the window to the soul. 00:05:44.540 |
It's more like the entirety of the structure of the, 00:06:59.400 |
We like cyber, but let's keep it off the face. 00:08:10.000 |
That's either a cat or overly friendly girlfriend. 00:08:26.280 |
But since I'm thinking of uploading this video, 00:08:37.560 |
Choose the core attributes you want to begin with. 00:08:42.040 |
Both attributes and skills provide different bonuses 00:08:51.640 |
by the level of the attribute that it belongs to. 00:09:01.680 |
Intelligence determines your net running proficiency. 00:09:20.000 |
Technical ability represents your technical know-how. 00:09:22.960 |
It allows you to unlock doors and use tech weapons. 00:09:28.400 |
composure and effectiveness in operating from stealth. 00:09:53.200 |
Probably, I'd probably go body and intelligence, 00:09:59.320 |
I'm not into lock picking or sneaking around. 00:10:06.400 |
but also have reasonably okay programming ability. 00:10:18.200 |
And since it looks like I can't spend everything 00:10:38.440 |
There's the scan code for the biometric data, let's go. 00:11:06.440 |
Move with WSAD and look around with the mouse. 00:11:30.920 |
it says check engine and I can tell him to step aside, 00:11:40.440 |
- I'm gonna pay you what we agreed, not one anymore. 00:11:43.800 |
- Huh, for that you can borrow my tools and fix it yourself. 00:11:58.600 |
- I'm gonna bypass the coupling and rig a hotwire. 00:12:23.060 |
those are like quests or instructions, get in, F. 00:12:46.620 |
- Antenna on this heap don't seem like it packs a punch. 00:13:45.120 |
Not afraid of it, just don't want trouble with this guy. 00:14:37.900 |
Sorry, I'm paying attention to a million things. 00:15:09.360 |
you see like David Goggins running along those mountains. 00:15:32.640 |
Climb the telecom tower and locate the control box. 00:16:20.840 |
- Willie McCoy, it's good to hear your voice. 00:17:13.080 |
He's waiting on a farm, flicking you the geoloc data. 00:17:19.800 |
- This is the Keanu Reeves character, I think. 00:17:25.040 |
- Wow, that sounds like every time I talk to my parents. 00:17:29.480 |
I'm terrified of heights, even in a video game, so. 00:17:58.640 |
Wow, what, how old are you that you're driving like this? 00:18:09.320 |
It's hard with the Kinesis keyboard, that's my excuse. 00:18:12.040 |
Plus I don't wanna go slowly, I wanna go fast. 00:18:27.680 |
Any illegal activity such as theft or attacking civilians 00:18:31.600 |
will result in an NCPD placing a bounty on you. 00:18:34.800 |
The police will send a patrol to the crime scene 00:18:37.360 |
and the strength of the response will be proportionate 00:18:47.680 |
Sorry, I'm really sorry, I was just driving, sir. 00:19:46.240 |
Okay, I guess this is not the Keanu Reeves character. 00:20:13.400 |
manners you know let's start with you then why don't we start with you then 00:20:19.420 |
NC native right here got Haywood in my blood I've never been to NC that doesn't 00:20:25.280 |
mean much to me so imagine a place where everyone's like your bro or sis or 00:20:30.980 |
family to cousin at least I think I understand you have to like each other 00:20:36.840 |
but it's family that's Haywood that and everyone's back in iron it's like the 00:20:43.560 |
futuristic version of Godfather could Sam from my own Haywood you will be 00:20:48.800 |
serious we're gonna get along fine what's with the cargo the haircut choice 00:20:55.320 |
I'm questioning it what's inside don't ask questions let's just load it up 00:21:01.040 |
loaded in the car oh follow Jackie how much you think this guy can bench 00:21:12.440 |

couldn't get made fun of so much for this driving 00:21:55.240 |
back in my day we used to play Prince of Persia you had to just exist in a 00:22:05.160 |
two-dimensional world I was just scrolling from left to right 00:22:10.240 |
listen friend we're both professionals a week 00:22:14.800 |
this is such a beautiful game I look at the city in the background sure you've 00:22:24.240 |

bobblehead you have bribe money customs officer to turn a blind eye to our 00:23:42.400 |

none no clan I drive for myself bold and none too wise you know one man wolfpack 00:25:15.640 |
someone like you I'm oh so grateful not to be on that side of the table I feel 00:25:22.520 |
the same way go on your associates waiting for you in the car 00:25:32.840 |
collect your weapon at the front desk I apologize if I'm moving really slowly 00:25:37.360 |

teach you these people a life story probably thank you 00:25:54.400 |
turn to the car he's driving I guess soon we need to get out of here yeah 00:26:03.600 |

smelling trouble around the bend drive Jackie just drive she nervous but he 00:26:19.080 |
someone's coming our way sensitive so tough exterior sensitive so 00:26:30.840 |
you are transporting contraband that is corporate property given how bad I was a 00:27:23.120 |
thought I hit him in the head still okay like I guess the game where you hit the 00:27:38.520 |
very stressful I don't like shooting at the police at this difficult tenth time 00:27:48.400 |
I'm a huge supporter of the police one of the hardest jobs I apologize for 00:27:54.440 |
shooting at them in this artificially constructed world of 00:28:22.200 |
keep driving can't stop here there's some cool drones in there 00:28:29.440 |
very interesting place looks deserted I'm gonna stop here 00:28:35.280 |
nice palms are wet get out of the car let's go 00:28:48.640 |
that what you call smuggling supposed to go smooth no problems temper 00:28:59.040 |
calm down things like this happen sometimes these things happen actually 00:29:04.240 |
I wasn't gonna pay you at all just gonna bust ass and disappear soon as we 00:29:08.280 |
crossed over but you're alright I appreciate the honesty the honesty 00:29:15.320 |
thanks but now what's next now we take a peek inside 00:29:25.400 |
please don't be a body please don't be a body all right let's look 00:29:31.520 |
shit it says our Osaka on the crate we're robbing some heavy hitters maybe 00:29:37.280 |
we'll make some heavy money fish on this for real iguana oh let's talk about 00:29:49.080 |
iguanas yeah I watched a thing on TV about him went extinct like 30 years ago 00:29:53.880 |
from the lesser Antilles you come a long way pull it up 00:30:00.480 |
oh that thing looks beautiful sure think it'll make us happy no plans I don't 00:30:12.640 |
have any plans I spent the last years traveling between states with my nomad 00:30:17.280 |
family I'll probably be waiting for you somewhere 00:30:19.760 |
and no we decided to go our separate ways I must be tough huh I have no one 00:30:26.800 |
to go back to but don't you worry let me help you find digs you gotta live 00:30:32.600 |
somewhere it's important to have people you can turn to you know like family 00:30:38.880 |
maybe you'll find your own down in Night City 00:30:44.400 |
thanks much appreciated hey come on it's nothing 00:30:48.600 |
you got chemistry you and me be a crying shame to waste it hope this guy's not 00:30:53.600 |
trying to trick me oh that thing is cute look at that all right let's shake hands 00:31:09.080 |
chick we're looking for somewhere in this building probably crawling with the 00:31:14.640 |
pin there was the kidnapper I Japan town half a year later speaking of which got 00:31:20.880 |
you a little something well the tech training shard in case you need to brush 00:31:26.640 |
up on your dance moves all right let's do a little tutorial still a shooting 00:31:32.880 |
practice I guess it is wait where am I plugging that in what where did I just 00:31:38.280 |
plug that in this is some Neuralink type of text yellow gun not my style well 00:31:53.120 |
have to do what am I doing shoot all the targets okay 00:32:01.680 |
okay we crank it up a notch with the next round the targets 00:32:08.080 |
that's terrible take proceed to crouch and hide behind cover cover can protect 00:32:25.080 |
you from enemy fire oh headshot does matter got it how do you do that you're 00:32:45.600 |
injured if your health falls to zero you die use the inhaler to your gain health 00:32:51.600 |
when you pick up a consumable it will automatically be added to the 00:32:55.480 |
consumables quick slot in your inventory if empty press X now to use one of the 00:33:02.920 |
regain okay cool where's the health switching weapons press one two three or 00:33:13.320 |
four or the switch weapons cool I should also say that I haven't played 00:33:21.280 |
shooters very much so I'm really terrible shooters okay cool so maybe 00:33:31.320 |
hacking's the next item on the menu I like this lady hacking cool let's begin 00:33:48.840 |
training I wonder if she's a robot scanning highlights objects of interest 00:33:54.280 |
in your surroundings it provides valuable information about them cool 00:33:59.480 |
hazards are highlighted in red hackable objects are highlighted in green objects 00:34:04.680 |
useful in other ways are highlighted in blue release tab to exit the scanner 00:34:10.320 |
with a cyberdeck installed your scanner provides an additional interface for 00:34:17.440 |
selecting quick hacks and their targets use distract enemies to distract the 00:34:21.440 |
guard navigate the list of available quick hacks with the mouse wheel 00:34:28.400 |
duration 30 seconds cool down zero seconds upload time 1.4 34 seconds 00:34:36.280 |
causes a device to malfunction resulting in erratic behavior that will distract 00:34:40.680 |
nearby people Wow so hacking is a big part of this game that's interesting and 00:34:45.880 |
intelligence is a part of hacking so I'm glad I invested in intelligence not all 00:34:50.800 |
about brute force I guess the body helped with the kicking down the door 00:34:59.040 |
this game is cool probably way too complicated okay sneak up to the guard 00:35:06.160 |
got it good I got take him out quietly all right all yours take him out 00:35:17.760 |
kill of course never smart to leave behind this is an alternate reality where 00:35:26.200 |
murder is supposedly allowed now pick up the body and hide it somewhere pick up 00:35:34.000 |
the body approach it closely look at it and hold our sometimes a dirty deed must 00:35:39.640 |
be done you can hide dead and unconscious in certain places doing so 00:35:46.840 |
will help you avoid detection by other enemies got it 00:35:55.920 |
up off in the dumpster you go I'm sorry friend but this is just virtual reality 00:36:02.720 |
now try to take him down in one I want to see what technique he used 00:36:20.800 |
time to get down and dirty in close-quarter combat tap to perform a 00:36:26.040 |
fast attack hit the enemy three times with fast attacks got it to perform a 00:36:35.040 |
fast attack combo press the left mouse button while the previous fast attack is 00:36:40.080 |
executed hold the left mouse button to charge a strong attack then release it 00:36:48.580 |
to perform it cool let's go yeah use the techniques you've learned so far to 00:36:56.560 |
defeat the enemy and here I am using none of the techniques nice the melee 00:37:14.280 |
combat techniques you've learned can also be used with melee weapons such as 00:38:00.400 |
good stuff looks like you're cruising already she looks proud of me now we can 00:38:07.760 |
get down to business time to work let's do this this is such a fun escape from 00:38:18.760 |
the real world unfortunately I probably only got an hour maybe two most I guess 00:38:28.160 |
there's a lot of pre story to get through here I mean I didn't get much at 00:38:33.280 |
all into the main quest yes hi what are you looking at 00:38:39.120 |
and Sandra Dorsett targets by a man with mute a couple hours back suspected 00:38:53.280 |
okay could at least try to be nice you want nice supportive call a damn 00:39:02.320 |
okay why can't we all just get along looking for 1237 he's just me yoga 00:39:10.760 |
working his posture fingers crossed it's not too late 00:39:16.120 |
thank you I hate this life or death shit I can the door thank you can trip it on 00:39:21.520 |
your own feet huh they seem like a nice lady I know 00:39:29.440 |
you're a sweetheart inside that tough exterior need to calm down my man Jackie 00:39:36.560 |
hack the door to begin hacking look at a device and scan it by holding tab cool 00:40:06.280 |
that's how I feel like every time I go to the dentist 00:40:44.520 |
let's take him sweat the weed until you get some punch 00:43:32.600 |
I could tell I could probably spend like a hundred plus hours here just exploring the city 00:44:34.600 |
this game so far is a lot more shooting than RPG 00:44:37.600 |
it really gives me the Grand Theft Auto vibes 00:44:47.600 |
like I said, I'm much more Elder Scrolls kind of guy 00:44:51.600 |
I guess this is a good little experiment about what it's like to play games, to comment, and so on 00:45:03.600 |
cause only somebody with a heart of gold can understand just how much I need to get back to my girl 00:45:35.600 |
can we just ride with Jackie, listen to Led Zeppelin 00:45:53.600 |
it's pretty good dialogue, pretty good conversation 00:46:30.600 |
this is the opposite of what my apartment looks like 00:46:49.600 |
how are you supposed to do any kind of programming? 00:47:10.600 |
so it's actually getting about that time, close to bed 00:47:15.600 |
act 1, ok, maybe I'll do one quest and that'll be it for this game 00:47:27.600 |
I can tell I would love this game, it's a beautiful place 00:47:33.600 |
part of me is actually really enjoying the fact that 00:47:36.600 |
I can just see people, they're not wearing masks 00:47:42.600 |
explore the depth that is each other's weirdness 00:47:46.600 |
oh man, this feels surprisingly good, just to be among people 00:48:00.600 |
oh man, I can't wait till things open back up and you can just meet people and talk to people 00:48:36.600 |
are these part of the game or is this like the bugs that everyone's talking about? 00:48:56.600 |
look at it, you can see like the freckles on his face 00:49:17.600 |
I'm not very good at any of this, I apologize 00:49:29.600 |
this car is pretty badass, that I know for sure 00:50:01.600 |
those are the future versions of neurosurgeons I suppose 00:51:27.600 |
I wonder if that's the bugs they were talking about 00:51:31.600 |
*laughs* so cool, he's gonna upgrade the eyes 00:51:50.600 |
although I don't really trust a neurosurgeon with rolled up sleeve and the 00:52:06.600 |
I wonder if the folks in Eurolink, any of them 00:52:56.600 |
that inherent money will be able to upgrade themselves 00:53:03.600 |
and there'll be a Bernie Sanders type of character 00:53:07.600 |
maybe the future looks a lot like the present 00:53:48.600 |
skipping the entirety of the rest of the mess of human biology 00:53:55.600 |
this is cool, this gives me a little preview of this world 00:55:12.600 |
it's like these things are going after your eye 00:55:16.600 |
but you gotta trust the robotics there, you gotta trust the equipment 00:55:22.600 |
and I think it works out really well for most people 00:56:06.600 |
cool, so this like gave me extra ability to scan 00:58:52.600 |
how they remember you, that's all that counts 00:59:55.600 |
I wish it had a little bit more science about it 01:00:42.600 |
his friend and gang mate once Simon Randall, aka Royce 01:00:50.600 |
and I got no way of knowing if he aims to honor his predecessors word 01:00:56.600 |
one Meredith Stout of Militech has developed an interest in said convoy 01:01:20.600 |
I like that guy, I like the characters this game creates 01:01:30.600 |
I'm not so much for the shooting and the Grand Theft Auto style quests 01:02:04.600 |
as I'm playing this now, I'm realizing how much I've changed 01:05:04.600 |
yeah, you gotta wonder with all that neurotech 01:07:39.600 |
but mostly it was fun to just play games again 01:07:59.600 |
if I'm gonna do shooting I'd rather do just a 01:08:33.600 |
definitely haven't played a game like it before 01:08:43.600 |
a first time I played a video game in quite a long 01:08:55.600 |
interest to anyone I'll play another video game 01:09:23.600 |
pick the one you want to work on most or do both
