I've watched a dude from New Zealand GM a few Cyberpunk 2020 games on YouTube and the best part of each game is character creation. The Life Path system is nuts

i hope the cool stat is increased by dressing stylishly

quote:

Arzin Tynon: A newcomer gang in 2020 who liked to pick on anyone weaker than themselves but hadn't established any major territory.
The Back Alley Brawlers: Vigilantes that stick together for protection (also protection rackets, allegedly).
Bay Area Rapid Terror: The nihilist gang of Night City.
The Black Queens: Small time hoods who wear all black and often act informant for non-gang interests.
The Blood Razors: A boostergang (gangs known for being notably cybernetically enhanced) that likes to use claws and will initiate members by slashing them up and if they can endure the pain, they get patched up and given their own claws.
Blood & Tears: A combat gang that only takes members from other gangs with at least 3 years experience - trademark is taking the eyes of their victims.
The Bradi Bunch: A posergang (gangs that all get surgery to affect a particular look) that bases themselves off The Brady Bunch. "Older" members protect the "children" (e.g. a Mike would be looking out for a Jan, etc.) Membership is largely runaways and orphans.
The Braniacs: A booster/posergang of smart guys who like to look like smart guys and trade in and collect information.
The Bozos: Killer clowns. A deadly prankster/posergang.
Death in the Afternoon: The other nihilist gang of Night City; mostly operates outside Night City.
The D.J.s: A chromer gang (musical band inspired; "chrome metal" is a popular genre in the setting) without much talent, but still up to speed on all the local Rockerboy-related activities.
The Edisons: A posergang that model themselves after famous inventors and have a penchant for building deathtraps.
The Fangs of Justice: A gang of psychotics that dresses like fictional crimefighters and affects a guardian stance (but will really just terrorize anyone).
The Gilligans: A militant LGBTQ gang formed for self-defense - they're not posers, but their hierarchical positions are all based on character names (techs are Professors, leaders are Skippers, etc.)
The Golden Knights: A protection gang founded by an ex-soldier who lost his family to a boostergang. Utilizes strategy and high tech to keep a four-block residential area secure.
The Inquisitors: A terrorist gang that believes cybernetics are evil (they only use skill and biotech) and prey on pretty much everyone in the city, but they're very hard to pin down despite everyone hating them.
Jack the Rippers: A gang(?) that, if not just one man, all dress in old-fashioned overcoats and silk tophats and murder joygirls at night when they're alone and vulnerable.
The Julliard: Militant mimes. Seriously. Mostly they protect and avenge their own street performers.
The Kennedys: A posergang with political interests that all model themselves after members of the family (JFK, Bobby, Jackie, etc.)
The Maelstrom: You've seen them, but again, just a bunch of chromed up punks who like to get violent.
The Metal Warriors: A combat gang that liked to have a whole dojo structure with rituals and ranks.
The Personalities: A posergang that randomly assigns a "personality" to members that are to do their utmost to affect that character; e.g. a member assigned "Abraham Lincoln" has to get the iconic look and act like they're Honest Abe.
The Philharmonic Vampyres: A prankster gang that goes out in tuxedos, domino masks, and vampire fangs.
The Piranhas: A party gang that just likes to have fun (their definition of fun, which no outsider is quite sure of) anywhere.
The Red Chrome Legion: A skinhead gang that terrorizes people different from themselves.
The Sacred Blades: A multi-ethnic combat gang that pit themselves against others who provide "worthy challenges" to prove their bravery. Prefer to use melee weapons for honorable combat (but carry heavier hardware for emergencies).
The Second Comming: A cult gang originally predicting the end of the world at Y2K but currently believe the end will come during the final episode of Combat Cabb.
The Silver Slash: Another chromer gang, but they were inspired by their eponymous metal band to work for city reform. They like to protect newcomers to Night City.
The Sinners N' Saints: A chromer gang inspired by their namesake, a newcomer (in 2020).
The Slaughterhouse: A boostergang that specializes in sharp enhancements that let them shred people apart for fun.
The Street Slaughter Slammers: A chromer gang that does random acts of violence, inspired by the band Total Anarchy.
The Tygers Claw: A combat gang that protects the Japanese community in Night City, favors martial arts and blades.
The Valentinos: A posergang (presumably modeled after the 20s star Rudolph Valentino and/or similar types) that mostly just tries to seduce beautiful women.
The Voodoo Boys: A drug-dealing terrorist gang that like to maim and dismember victims in "voodoo" rituals. (They're mostly white boys who like to leech off university students.)
The Warrior Heart: A combat gang that mostly fights other gangs to hone their skills.
The Water Rats: A gang that helps pirates smuggle goods into Night City.
The Western Stars: A combat posergang that models themselves after famous (fictional/nonfictional) gunslingers and favor revolvers for "fair one-on-one" duels.
The Wild Things: A heavy drug-using gang made up of proven survivors of lesser drug-using gangs.
The Willow Sisterhood: A posergang of young women that model themselves on notable beauties of the past and train extensively in assassination related skills. Often bodyguards to powerful people.

Still not sure why this is first person. Especially with their Max Payne system which always looks cooler in 3rd person

The game has a Cool stat that potentially ties to your equipment, and you'll never see any of it

This is my thought too but it's got a long development ahead, we'll see how it ends up.

It would be a big mistake to try and troll me. I haven't watched the video and maybe never will and I'm just making wild guesses on how the game works .... 🃏

watching this trailer made me load up the first deus ex again. the early game combat (well, all combat) is sort of rear end, but it's still fun to crawl through levels.
