  1. I think your ending glitched out and V thought you were taking over the body… When I did this ending, making the same choices as you, V just seemed sad that neither of them would get to live. Maybe it has something to do with your friendship, and at your particular level V's reactions were swapped by accident?

  2. I occasionally watched this series. I have mixed feelings about Cyberpunk, but I'm glad Gopher stuck with it…and I'm even happier that he can start a playthrough of another game now. Maybe another New Vegas playthrough? Or Fallout 4? Or Oblivion?

  3. Gopher, some friendly channel advice. Think carefully before doing a Mass Effect LP. Three games is a big commitment and I highly doubt it will support high viewer figures (with serious drop off the deeper you get into the game and the series). Plus people are playing it again for themselves and there is not enough variety for your LP to feel different to their own game experiences, leading to a sense of repetition and boredom. I love Mass Effect and I hope you have fun playing it but I doubt it is a game to Let's Play. Not right now at least.

  4. Well, that was one confusing, buggy Mikoshi sequence. And the choices the ganme makes for you can be confusing, too. Wish they based that less on who fights Smasher (and how), but on the in-game choices. Or, you know, on the conscious choices of the player.

    Loved being along for the ride, thanks for the playthrough.

    Hope you'll do another (public) one once all the major DLC is out.

  5. Well, that was the most confusing of endings – they have unjumbled it a bit in the patches and for some reason you appear to not be patching. Apply all updates and it gets a LITTLE clearer and some bugs are actually fixed (and some new ones appear, yah!). Panam ending is much more straight forward.

  6. Gopher, this has been a wonderful series. I watched it from the beginning and enjoyed it very much. Great job!

    Regarding the poem Alt quotes at the beginning of this episode, it is the final stanza of "Sailing to Byzantium," one of the most celebrated poems of the great Irish poet William Butler Yeats.

    The poem begins, "That is no country for old men." He's talking about the natural world, a place of summer and "sensual music," where "monuments of unageing intellect" are neglected.

    Yeats writes that "An aged man is but a paltry thing, A tattered coat upon a stick," and that's why he has set sail to "the holy city of Byzantium… Into the artifice of eternity." In the final stanza that Alt Cunningham recites, "Once out of nature I shall never take My bodily form from any natural thing, But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make Of hammered gold and gold enamelling To keep a drowsy Emperor awake." I imagine all those rich idiots who uploaded their personalities to a computer in search of immortality, who "set upon a golden bough to sing To lords and ladies of Byzantium Of what is past, or passing, or to come."

    Because of his own mortality, the poet abandons the natural world to enter an artificial world. He chooses this artificial kind of immortality made of gold mosaic because the heart and soul are consumed, "sick with desire And fastened to a dying animal It knows not what it is."

    Thinking about the story of Cyberpunk 2077, where people gradually "upgrade" their physical bodies with cyberware that makes them insane, this poem really ties it all together. Night City is a place filled with aging relics like Adam Smasher, Rogue, Saburo Arasaka, the surviving members of Samurai, and even the city itself. All of them are increasingly corrupted as they age. The real heroes — young people like Jackie, Judy and Panam — can't survive for long in a place like that; they have no choice except to either flame out or escape.

  7. That ending was hella confusing. Was that a bug? V talking but the subtitle says it was Johnny.
    I did several playthrough but never had this.

  8. I wonder if the ending is broken or something because i was as confused as Gopher. Dialogue didn't match with what was happening on screen and honestly i was checking google to make sure which choice gives which ending.

  9. Lol. What a bizarrely jumbled ending this was! Even V seemed to get really confused inside Mikoshi about what was going on. I can't blame you for your utter confusion, Gopher. Thanks for the let's play. 😉

  10. I have been trying to ration these episodes but here i am, like an addict looking for his next fix. I dont think there has been any other lets play that i have been so excited about every single episode. Usually i lag behind on episodes after about 20 but these ones i wait eagerly for every single time. Thank you so much for making these. Very excited to see what you'll upload next. I'm personally hoping for Mass Effect or round 2 of Cyberpunk.

  11. Really hoping you do a discussion about your real thoughts, especially since you’ve now played RDR2 (a real gold standard in my opinion)
    I’m not a YouTuber but man if I was I could do an hours long rant.

  12. Thank you for the epic playthrough! It's always such a shame when one ends & that ending was nothing like I expected. So many great characters & you really bring out the best in them ^o^ thank you again, GG

  13. Compared to the other frankly fantastic endings this one was quite underwhelming and made even worse by the buggy dialogue in Mikoshi. Thank you for the playthrough Gopher and here's hoping for another one on the live channel maybe?

  14. Yeah I made all the same choices as you and I didn't get this glitched dialogue in cyberspace. There wasn't any fighting V. Too bad you got this. One hell of a time for a bug.

  15. I did the Johnny / Nomad ending and have to say I really liked that one (less confusing, still sad, but with some hope, and damn did it FEEL right for the game) – having V in the pilot seat at the end really changes the color of the last decision, at least for me. As V, it just made sense to give Johnny the body, just a batch organ donation from the dying really. If I'd been piloting Johnny though I probably would have gone this way – just the choice Johnny would have made.

  16. Yeah, the ending is kinda helter skelter the first time. I think the thought process was that by choosing Johnny over the Aldecaldos, V doesn't get a happily ever after with Pan Am (or anybody, really).
    I'll echo what everyone else is saying, I'm gonna miss this series. Thanks for the countless hours of entertainment!

  17. Gopher can I say that this series pulled a few tears from a grumpy old military vet. The end with the sequence between V and Johnny was quite interesting. At a point I was yelling you are V but it was a hell of a guess based on my gut. Still not sure if i'm right. This play through is what made me pull the trigger on buying this game after all the mixed press shit that happened. Thank you for making me realize this is a CDPR gem in the rough. Oh yeah, as a long time fan long live Jack and his love of whiskey. "I don't need personality, I have a shotgun" lol

  18. Very sad to see this series ending already, but it was fun to be along for the ride. I know you said that you probably do not have time to make another go anytime soon (if ever), but I would still love to see you playing what ever DLCs they will eventually push out.

    The ending is mighty confusing at first go. Luckily I was playing a hacker on my first go, so joining with Alt and letting Johnny to make a new life for himself felt more like a character evolution than the end of V's story. It wouldn't work that well for a nomad street fighter.
