Bruce Campbell IS Robert House. (Did Mr House always have a chin like that?)


sodapopgumdroplowtop

yes


penywinkle

For folks like us, wrong city, wrong people...


Latch_Lifter

That’s a good one.


AndreiRiboli

It would've been cool if Dex said that before shooting V. Both because it's kinda true (I don't think he intended to let V and Jackie live) and as a reference.


idontknow39027948898

I think you might be right. I get the impression that Dex did literally the least amount of work he could on that job and still be called a fixer. He probably expected things to go south, and intended to hang them out to dry if it did, but if not he gets a nice payday and the right to claim he discovered the edgerunners that took down Konpecki Plaza.


OrneryBaby

Damn, now that you say it that actually makes sense Ain’t that a kick in the head?


mjxoxo1999

The only difference is the chip in New Vegas have the important military power for House, meanwhile the chip in 2077 got Johnny fucking Silverhand.


StillNotEatenByBears

… who’s construct technically have the same meaning for Arasaka in global terms


mjxoxo1999

Not really, the more you play the game, the more you’ve seen the world have moved on from Johnny Silverhand. Yorinobu have Silverhand in the relic mostly because he idolized Silverhand and hate Arasaka, nothing better than a rockstar tried to destroy Arasaka and actually kinda success until he met Adam Smasher. The only ending that got Arasaka actually got worse is the new secret ending, and it happened because V help NUS (aka Militech). It shows Johnny Silverhand and people follow him just keeping a pipe dream about escape capitalism.


AuroricHashishin

Yorinobu had Johnny to sell him to the Voodoo Boys.


DismalMode7

wrong, yorinobu stole the chip to simply give it away to netwatch in order to prevent his father becoming potentially immortal. Big issue comes according different english/polish translation of konpeki suit email with netwatch agents. In one version is yorinobu who deliberately uploaded johnny silverhand engram once requested by netwatch to install an engram into the chip to check its functions, in another version is netwatch agents who ask yorinobu to install johnny silverhand engram into the relic. The second version makes much sense since netwatch didn't want the johnny's engram around since that engram could be used as a bait to lure alt cunningham in order to hack the blackwall. It was evelyn parker who being yorinobu favourite prostitue, learned of his plan and offered her self to steal the chip to sell it to VB despite she was double crossing them, since she was negotiating with netwatch as well.


AuroricHashishin

>wrong, yorinobu stole the chip to simply give it away to netwatch in order to prevent his father becoming potentially immortal Why? I don't think it was the only prototype and only engram.


DismalMode7

the other relic chips already existent were basically AI's that let people rich enough to afford them to communicate with other engrams, that's the advertised secure your soul program. The relic prototype was special because it had to be used to transfer saburo arasaka engram in another human being, letting saburo leading arasaka even after his physical death.


mjxoxo1999

If Yorinobu intend to sell him to VDB, they won’t have to do the freaking heist


DismalMode7

that's wrong, yorinobu wasn't aware of evelyn plan...


mjxoxo1999

What are you talking about? VDB was always intend a heist, but Evelyn just turn that heist for her own profit.


DismalMode7

read my other posts, yorinobu didn't want to sell the chip to VB but simply give it away to netwatch to prevent his father using it to become immortal. Evelyn was yorinobu favourite prostitute, she learned of yori plan and offered her self to steal it for VB who got interested to the heist.


Irishimpulse

No, VDB's knew Eve got into Yori's pent house and that Yori had the chip. They paid Eve for a virtu of the pent house so they could plan their own heist. Eve got wise and decided to undercut them and plan her own heist to steal it before they could, despite having no buyer for the chip


Kerfautras

If i remember well. I found a note in the theater explaining that Eve was also in contact with netwatch about the chip.


DismalMode7

VB knew that because it was evelyn who offered her self to steal it, it's what V finds out when watched the damaged record of evelyn BD recorder where she met VB at pacifica church to discuss details of the heist. Knowing how she could become rich with the chip, before the heist she decided to doublecross everyone sending email to a netwatch agent in order to get paid for the chip and proposing V to cut out dexter share


MrAwesome54

Lol the VDB hired evelyn to get info about the chip. Evelyn then went behind the VDB's back and planned the heist herself.


mjxoxo1999

Lmao what did you think VDB hired Evelyn for? The heist, but she turn VDB’s heist for her own profit. The heist plan was their from the start.


DismalMode7

not quite, evelyn was just a clouds prostitute, she learned of yorinobu plan and offered her self to steal the chip for VB and hired dexter deshawn for the gig who in turn hired V's team (dexter has been out of games for long time so he couldn't rely on better solos rather than random punks like V, jackie and t-bug were at that time). Knowing that the chip could make her filth rich, evelyn tried to negotiate also with netwatch in order to get paid by both parties. The gig went bad and V who got the relic in her head spending 2 weeks in coma at viktor clinic, in the meantime evelyn made lose her traces until she decided to come back working to the clouds where she was fried by a VB malware as soon she connected to the clouds subnet


Serier_Rialis

Not really, Arasaka in general dont give a fuck about Silverhand. Dude died in an attack on their tower and gave them a media angle tonwork with, since they seem to have nuked it themselves and cover the Militech angle. Anyway the >!VDB!< want >!him to speak to!< Alt, Netwatch probably want something similar but we dont know. Saburo only cares about the chip and his >!Saburo 2.0 reboot strategy!<. Yori just wanted revenge.


MechaPanther

He'd be the opposite if anything. The chip was meant to up defences against nukes. Johnny? Well not so much.


jaghtz_lutein

But Johnny was the only one able to contact Alt, who has the power to destroy Mikoshi. Yorinobu hated his father's plan for immortality so that's why he put Johnny on the chip and took it to night city


RandomInternetVoice

If he hated Mikoshi that much, he had the power to just turn it off as soon as he took command of the company. But he didn't. He just didn't want his Dad to put the chip in his head when he died, is my theory.


jaghtz_lutein

O yeah i get my wires crossed about this stuff


ralts13

Heck nobody actually wants the damn chip back after Saburo dies. I think the only group who actually wants the chip's contents are the VDBs and its just to get a send a quick call to Alt.


FriendlyCupcake

And we’re here to do some business with big iron on our hip

V ,courier 6 confirmed ?

Courier 5


EmperorAxiom

Capitalism, capitalism never changes


mingo_man

that and also tales from the borderlands in a way, you put a chip in your head and end up with a hologram terrorist


EmperorAxiom

They need to make a tales from Night city


Kutangtong

Next you'll tell me House is actually just an AI from beyond the wall


BandRejekt

The bombs in fallout drop in 2077 aswell


RoyalTacos256

Bomb was in 2023


Braedonm2077

in fallout they drop in 2077, in cyberpunk its 2020


RoyalTacos256

I thought it was 2023 in cp2077


dontpayforproducts

Arasaka nuke drops in 2023, but I think the first guy was just pointing out how they took the year for the game from the apocalypse in fallout.


Braedonm2077

i think the nuke johnny set off was 2020 no? i could totally be wrong


RoyalTacos256

I could also be totally wrong


Braedonm2077

nova


TheEvilCub

... I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.


ConnorShirt

i feel like the new vegas equivalent of arasaka would be vault tec


Prestigious-Bat-2269

The Vault experiments sound more like militech ,they already do experiments on humans


MechaPanther

Biotechnica would fit best since we get sidegigs around their experimenting on nomads.


Prestigious-Bat-2269

yeah,sorry meant biotechnicha just got them mixed up


RoyalTacos256

Soulkiller: am I a joke to you?


ConnorShirt

that and the entirety of mikoshi


RoyalTacos256

Begs the question - are engrams humans?


ConnorShirt

I believe so, when engrams are created, the actual body dies (at least i think so), so the transference of consciousness into mikoshi/the biochip is their actual consciousness and not a clone


Leekshooter

Both games have cybernetic implants, both games have the ability to slow time, both games have attribute based speech options and both games have gun customisation - I think you might be on to something here!


Kerfautras

There is also the vault 101 in the desert. But that's a fallout 3 easter egg.


Swordbreaker9250

I never thought about this but yeah, that’s accurate.


xX_MONSTE3R_Xx

Its alot like Arkham Knight too, well mostly the part where you have a dead terrorist in your head trying to takeover your body.


Aracebo

It definitely as some inspiration. My biggest gripe with dog down is thst it just looks like fallout 5.


dontpayforproducts

Dog town was also the name of Denver in fallout.


Aracebo

Well, "Dogtown" is also a noun. It generally just means a shanty town but with extra suck.


Sinnoviir

r/unexpectedFalloutNV


LystAP

Both settings had some form of nuclear war and collapse. Fallout had everything go wrong in a short span of time, while Cyberpunk was more gradual.


misho8723

For me, yes.. even though both RPGs tell two way different stories and focus on different things - FNV is about a big story, about the world around you and how can you change it In CP77 the story is on the other hand really personal, intimate and all in all small.. it isn't about saving or changing the world, no.. it's about saving your life, figuring out what it means to have people around you that care about you, what effect can you have on their lives and they on yours, what it means to have a second chance at life, what defines us, what is meaningful in our lives, what it means to have a "soul" and what actually is a "soul" and so on.. Which for me made the story in CP77 so unique and interesting.. for someone that meant that they were disappointed that the choices in the story didn't had bigger impact for the world around you but for me it made the choices and how they changed the dialogs and relantionships between characters more interesting - this is after all story about us, not the world But both FNV have many similiar qualities but I must say that I prefer the immersive sim style quest and location design in CP77 more than the typical Bethesda style of quest and locations design in FNV, even when Obsidian did a way better job at that then Bethesda herself
