BRILLIANT

He's considering why something that's stupid in real life actually makes a lot of sense in a video game, and vice versa. This dude rocks

Well said

Jim Jo Well to be fair a lot of games based themselves around the premise that they ARE realistic, at least to some degree; cyberpunk makes no such claim, it’s not even in the present.

Well the whole point of having an expert is to explain the realism and point out what's wrong not to just say it's just a game and ignore it what's the point in having an expert anyone could tell you that.

He reacted to the gun trailer already. It's why he knew about the shotgun already and brought up the historical pistol because he actually guessed correctly that it shot an electromagnetically accelerated slug even though it has an old-school appearance. I bet that trailer definitely piqued his interest in the game

no, its just that the the ttrpg also uses existing guns

@@tamacat920 9:55. He brings up it was in the TTRPG. If he knows that, it suggests, like OP said, he either really did his homework, or he has a deeper interest in it.

i just love to see them inviting people that are expert and plays video games

Ooo.

🤣🤣🤣

Pdw?

A lot of firearms can have fuzzy classifications - show one guy a weapon without any documentation on it, he might call it a PDW, another guy might call it an SMG, a third guy might call it a carbine. Take the M4 carbine from today, give it to a 1950s U.S. Army armorer, and he'd likely classify it as a sub-machinegun. To him, rifles that men carried into war were the M14, which was itself a derivative of the M1 Garand that said armorer probably learned to fire as a rifleman himself back in Dubya-Dubya Two.

@@ShadowDragon8685 Honestly I always forget the M4 is classified as a carabine and not a rifle since it shares the same ammo and barrel as the M16. But is lighter. I always say the M4 is a rifle :p However guns classifications also change between countries. Here in France, a semi automatic pistol, like a G17 or a 1911, is called an automatic pistol. Even if they can't fire in auto

@@TheKenji2221 That reminds me, why wouldn't the m16a3 or m16a4 have an m203? Why don't they use m203s anymore?

AFAIK Arma 3 had an actual gun company design stuff for them.

I'm not a firearms expert and even I'm put off by the gun designs in the game. What's the lump of metal doing under the barrel of all the pistols in the game? Why're all the submachineguns shooting rifle ammo? Why do rifle rounds do less damage than pistols rounds? And the list goes on.

@@hschan5976it’s not meant to be realistic. Pistols do more damage than assault rifles so that players can use pistols if they want to, in this setting where most characters are criminals using whatever guns they think are cool or what they have access to. If it does really annoy you, maybe look for a mod that makes combat more realistic, if such a mod exists.

Yep but expensive. Cheapest way to get it is the gsg522 and the conversion kit makes it all the better.

Agreed, but it's going to be hard to find footage/have him play, while showing off all the functions of the firearms. Things like a single action army going off when dropped or the spas 12 switching between pump and semi-auto won't necessarily be shown in pure gameplay. and if he plays it himself, he may not be familiar with all of the controls on the trackpad (e.g. holding your right thumb on trackpad left, and flipping up/down to simulate the slide release)

Damn cool trivia thx!

Very intriguing! Wonder how John Reese from Person of Interest would be received...

So basically "I used to be a soldier like you, then I took a shotgun to the knee"?

well at least in cyberpunk they could get a new leg, if they could afford it.

Never heard of IRA shooting British soldiers in legs (it wouldn't be that easy), but I've heard a lot that it was form of "marking" and was used on drug dealers (and probably on traitors but I'm not sure they weren't simply killed)

zero stones zero crates

link?

@@itscznben8728 gotta search for yourself buddy

Mess you can clean. Crippling won't go away. The shotgun to the knee still can keep your knee working to some degree. It will hurt like hell, will probably itch constantly, you'll need the braces, but it's still not the same as having no leg at all. One thing people generally don't tell you about is how hard you have to try to keep non-biological parts from causing complications. For example, that very advanced, not peg leg, but still crude mechanic leg? It uses overly complex mount and support system to allow you to get yourself through one day and still be able to do something on another. It still requires perfect hygiene, damper replacements, a lot of different salves and busy day will still get you water or even blood filled blisters that will put you out of comission for 2-3 days. And skimping on hygiene will quickly translates into festering. I hope you don't mind the smell which will probably destroy your reputation and render you repulsive to everyone. I knew a guy who took a bullet in the mouth (Grand theft auto went wrong). This made a mess of his jaw and at that kind of damage and scarring it was simply physically impossible to keep that part clean (Trust me, he tried hard. Constantly bled for that and went through mouthwash faster than a fatman goes through his coke). He couldn't get at peace with the new smell. Other couldn't too. In the end he was left alone and this led him to commiting [comment/channel removal].

the most realistic shotgun blast to the leg at point blank range was in - oh lord forgive me - call of duty. Black Ops 2 to be exact it completely massacred wood's legs so he could not use them anymore but didn't blow them off.

@@burningsinner1132 Thanks for that context.

The shotgun never blew off the leg, its still connected the force of the blast must of just shot the leg back and the person fell over do to it

@@anthony-jr3615 yeah. Since that was more or less a Borg I'm pretty sure the leg was armored up enough so it can withstand a shotgun blast without shattering.

I mean, that's literally the definition of Cyberpunk. No need to bring "retrofuturism" into it, the genre that the game's named after is specifically about the dystopian future as envisioned in the 80s. Emphasis on the dystopian part.

@@neruneri Retrofuturism is a blanket term for taking the viewpoint of the past to imagine a future setting. Steampunk, cyberpunk, dieselpunk, atompunk, etc. are all retrofuturism when they take place in a time period that was to the future of their respective "origin" years. They are all basically settings where the super-advanced tech is all black boxes, but they have the outward appearance and usability of the gadgets of their target eras.

@@Tounushi You're both right. He's saying it's unnecessary, it's like saying "there was a mammalian badger." all cyberpunk is retrofuturist!

funny you would say that. the devs quite clearly said that to change things around they went for more of a 90s look. ye. i wanted 80s, everyone wanted 80s. probably devs wanted 90s, what we got was...glitchy 2020s. retrofuturism is perfectly fine term if you have some basis behind it. say you have that shotty from cyberpunk. clearly its a double barreled inefficiency of the old times (retro), powered by electricity propelling the shells (futurism). both features by themselves mean jack shit, the combination of them arrive at something recognisable from multiple spheres/genres/whatever. It works.
