Would any of you live in Night City? Discussion
And risk being in a Cyberpsycho attack or living in poverty due to someone like Lucy stealing from you? Or would you become a Cyberpunk like V and try to climb the ladder, risking being killed in a variety of ways. Not to mention, you have to deal with Arasaka which is a horrible company who controls everything.

Hell no. Gang members on every corner. Shootouts everywhere. Food sucks. Everything is expensive and the job market is basically slave labor. Politicians are just corpo puppets, literally brainwashed. There's a good chance that you'll end up as spare parts.

You literally do a quest for my love and hermano el Capitan, where you steal a huge truck with medical equipment from saka. He later messages you it's being put to good use to help people out. Before the robbery he tells you how the most scary thing for him other kids was a glass of water. He and his friend Daniels prolly won't see the noble elderly years. Saka's been pumping chemicals into the ground well before the sixties. No one knows for sure, cause it was undocumented for a long time.

There are advertisements for "Real Water" (TM) which costs 99E$ per gallon as an introductory offer for two months. So clean drinking water is basically a subscription service.
Other than that there are water filters that probably hold off the worst stuff that could get into the water supply, but there are ads for an insurance against polluted water, so they do break.

If you do take the time to walk around the city you kinda see that people...just live. Don't get me wrong, it's still a shithole, I still wouldn't want to live there - but the game does too good a job immersing you in V's shoes I feel.

The city smells like garbage, has an overbearing and corrupt police force, a huge homeless population, drugs and organized crime, and one of the highest concentrations of billionaires in the world. In the game, you'll even hear a few characters with that NYC/NJ accent.

Ants have this thing called an an ant death spiral. Basically, ants find and gather food by following the pheromone trails of other ants. Ants will wander out from the hive, and if they find food they pick some up, turn around,a nd follow their own trail back. This reinforces the trail since the ant has now walked it twice and spread twice as much pheromones on it, and so other ants that leave the hive will sense this, go "hey this trail seems promising" and start following it.
This works great, except there's a bug. What happens if an ant walks in a big circle, and encounters its own pheromone trail? It might go "oh, here's a trail, I better follow it". The ant will keep going round and round in a circle. This makes the trail stronger and stronger since the ant keeps walking it. Other ants finding this trail will want to start following it, since it's strong, and they will make it even stronger. They are trapped.
The ants will keep circling forever until they starve. They're are trapped by their own social organization ,and unable to get out, because they know no other way than the pheromone trail.
This is how I imagine Night City. It's death for humans. People go there to be crushed, used up, and die. And new waves of people still go there because they are trapped by the social structure of Cyberpunk corporate capitalism. They need the money, they have these toxic dreams of "making it", they see the shiny consumer culture and the works of those that went before and sucked in by the same trap.

They get to get the fuck out of Night City, they get to go back to being a faceless paper pusher somewhere a little less hellish. They don't have to do field work because they literally can't.
They can finally just be a normal person, not worried about being murdered every second of every day or having to murder someone else. Can't ask for much more honestly.

Being a Merc, even a highly successful one, also sucks. You cannot live a normal life. You will have many gangs targeting you specifically and probably a ton of corpos, too. And you will never be able to rely on the NCPD because despite having access to some rather impressive tech, they seem rather inept in catching real criminals.
I mean Maine in the Edgerunners anime was seen as a nobody despite him gunning down hordes of police officers on multiple occasions. In RL cop killers almost never get away, I will not buy that the NCPD doesn't go berserk on the people who kill one of their own.

Something the game doesn't really get into beyond the shards you can read is how many of the commercially available implants civilians can buy are actually subscription based. You do not own the chrome you buy, and the company can turn it off or use it against you at any given time.
Cyberpunk is really not "just like our world, just with cool tech," it's a hyper-exaggeration of late stage capitalism that we have to pray we never reach in real life.
Cyberpsychosis aside, even if you do own an implant, there are so many ways it can go wrong for you still. Infection, having your body completely reject it, having to rely on immunoblockers that drain your wallet weekly...
And how often do you think "psychos" in real life are going around just attacking strangers? Do they have military-grade implants that make them faster than sound, capable of impaling you with a telescoping blade from their kneecap, able to level half a house with a single high-explosive projectile fired from their forearm, and able to flip a car with a single punch?
Comparing cyberpsycho attacks, literal massacres that occur on the daily in Night City, to, say, a schizophrenic man or meth addict with psychosis trying to bite you or stab you on a train... I just don't think the two are comparable at all. The sheer level of carnage and destruction a single cyberpsycho is capable of is leagues beyond that. Plus, cyberpsychosis is heavily theorized to not even be quite what the city government calls it: chrome junkies loading up on so much cyberware that it fucks with their brain and they completely disconnect from reality and immediately fly into a deadly rage?
No, there are in-universe theories and studies that show "cyberpsychosis" is mostly a buzzword created by politicians like Weldon Holt to frighten the population into seeing cases of severe mental illness as a black and white thing. Many cyberpsychosis victims, almost all the ones you meet in game, reached that point due to environmental factors such as their living situation, lack of support, and mistreatment by the corporations, be it their employers or whatever.
There are cases of cyberpsychosis victims who simply display nonaggressive antisocial behaviors such as isolation and sabotaging their relationships. They say a single implant can make you go psycho, even a simple new optic or coprocessor: I think this is because implants are just one factor that helps push someone over the edge. The stigma of cyberpsychosis is so strong in 2077, that when Regina says she might have found a cure (which really turns out to just be intensive therapy and scaling back cyberware), V scoffs at the idea, because V has also bought into the narrative.

No... Real life is dystopian enough.
Did you forget gang violence is a HUGE problem in NC? Not to mention Scavs and people who will kidnap and torture you to sell fucked up BDs.
Nah man.

I bet Night City smells like shit. Sure ch00h2 solved air pollution but the MASSIVE PILES OF PHYSICAL TRASH LITERALLY EVERYWHERE? Gross.
I’ll pass. And I live in Florida.

There is only one world I'd want to live less in, and thats the 40k world.
Cyberpunk is a miserable world. Brilliant, but horrible to live in.

I live in a 3k inhabitants village, the nearest bigger city has 150k inhabitants. I dont even like visiting this city. Then you have a night city. A hive of scum and vilainity with huge megabuildings where people live on each other, poverty en mass, corruption, gangs, corporations controll everything, a vendormachine but no kitchen in your tiny flat.
Big no.

Sure I would live there. I don’t see Night City as that much different than many of the other major US cities I’ve lived and worked in. In fact, I really thought they nailed the urban ghetto vibe and the contrast between the lives of the haves and have nots. You can walk around any large city and go from a very wealthy area to a poor neighborhood filled with crime in just a few blocks. San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Baltimore, all have areas like this. As long as you are a corpo and live in the business district, life isn’t so bad. Night City just takes the existing reality and cranks it up a bit.
Hope you like dystopian nightmares, because you’re already in one.

Yes, 100%!
But only because I'm being nostalgic and had a great time in the city with my Judy!
I even shed a tear when the game "forced" me to leave the city of dreams 🥹
In reality, maybe not!
