Mr. Blue Eyes standing amongst the rubble is am JFK "umbrella man" conspiracy reference
Alex dying was a no go to me. I first choose to betray Song but the moment I saw Alex dying I reloaded the save and choose to side with Song.
Tin Foil Hat theory: Yen and Geralt are NPCs on some VDB's laptop copy of the Witcher 3 when said VDB cracks the Blackwall and some rogue AI slips into the code. Something goes wrong, and suddenly the two NPCs gain sentience, awareness of their video game boundaries, and hijack or get stuck in two random VDBs in a world they don't know with their powers gone and strange new powers based on their hosts.
Im am so glad that someone else played this ending at 2am with absolute no idea of what the heck would be happening!!!!
I played it during fall break on halloween night cuz I had little time with the uni. I am a huge fan of the horror genre and ngl I really enjoyed playing it, this tense feeling, not knowing when it will next appear.
WHY do you speak like an American when you aren't one??
Almost 1 hour of some of the best content on Cyberpunk?! YES, please!
I also played Somewhat Damaged at around 2-3am myself, and was thoroughly terrified of getting swatted by the bot. Loved the mission though, as it caused me no shortage of fun.
18:01 she has obviously never referenced the world as “Cyberpunk 2077 universe”, but there is reason to believe that The Witcher universe and Cyberpunk coexist in a way, like parallel worlds, because Ciri basically described Night City in The Witcher 3 when she told Gerald about a world she saw when traveling between dimensions…
Mr Blue Eyes seems a lot like g-man lol
I went with SoMi the first time only because I couldn't have Alex die.
Question that's not really about the topic of the video but, do you play with ray reconstruction on? I tried it myself but I'm not a fan of the blurry look it gives on regular Ultra RTX. I was just curious if you use it and if you think the trade offs for more accurate lighting and reflections are worth the extra blurriness. Answers from anyone are welcome though, I'm just racking my brain trying to decide if RR is worth it.
I do a game save when leaving Hansens meeting and following SoMi and first do the Betray SoMi ending (cause I like all the action, Hansen boss fight, etc.) and second the ending I wish to live with (Betray Reed), as sending SoMi to the Moon is the right thing to do. Its sad that unless you do the Betray SoMi you dont learn near as much about SoMi's past. V and SoMi are kindred in that they were put in positions of dying by others and are working towards a "happier ending for all" (V's wish at the end of all, talking about Johnny, and V to Alt). Its not V's fault that 100's died in Killing Moon (I kill over a 100 NUSA soldiers personnaly and spare the Orbital Air guards), IT IS MEYERS FAULT as she cannot let SoMi tell the truth about Meyers pushing Black Wall intrusions to the world. If I were Hansen I would have video recorded SoMi describing Meyers ordering her to breach the Black wall 100's of times and had a directive to release the video on the web for all to see after any untimely death on his part. Secondly its a joke that the Orbital Air CEO would openly blame Night Corp instead of NUSA as his clean up would have found 100's of dead NUSA agents and NUSA equipment (downed chopper, Mechs, etc.) and would have known full well that the NUSA broke the law in a terrorist attack on Orbital air, but Meyers never gets called out on her B.S.
If you believe the best ending is to cause the least amount of deathes then you choose to shoot yourself on the rooftop instead of storm Arasaka tower, right, because I can choose to have friends killed (rogue, Saul, ect. or go it alone (fear the reaper) but in every scenario I will kill 100's of Arasaka goons (a massacre). And I find it sad that you dont have the option to tell Alt you dont want Soulkiller used on V and then Johnny will just take over, V will eventually die with his soul intact and there is no difference between giving your body to Johnny with the exception that your soul is still intact.
Siding with Reed but granting So Mi's wish is objectively the best ending in my opinion, it frees So-Mi from the Blackwall and Reed from the clutches of the NUSA.
I betrayed SoMi because I thought she would never stop killing and betraying people in order to live. But killed her after I realized Myers would never let her go completely.
Anyone who sides with Reed after seeing him and Alex killing the twins is basically accepting being a "ranyon" again.
I think to get the erebus you just need to loot the robot at the end I don't remember getting anything other than looting the robot at the end so I think if you get neither it defaults to letting you craft erebus
I think Mr. Blue Eyes is like the Gaunter of Witcher 😮
I did somewhat damaged at my first dlc playthrough because I like stalking, transgressing in the places I shouldn't be. There is so much lore and interesting, mystic information in Reed path. And when I was presented with the choice I was presented with at the end of the mission-I loaded my safe before Firestarter. I just cannot follow through the Reed path, nope, no sir, the girl's going to the fucking moon.
Currently watching.
There actually is a dialogue in Witcher 3 where Ciri tells Geralt that she was running through multiple worlds from the Wild Hunt and in one of those worlds poeple where having flying metal charriots, gigantic buildings and metal in their heads.
There can’t actually be an “earth rise” on the moon. The same side of the moon always faces the earth. You could watch the earth spin, but not rise.
Yeah i am stating to think betraying song bird was a bad idea when I first played this dlc i side with reed because I thought he could’ve helped us but nope I was wrong, we basically lost everything for all for nothing which was just sad and depressing and felt like a big slap in the face literally for us as v but that’s my opinion.
I appreciate the extent of which the Blackwell AI are meant to be seen as imposing. Humans have the ability to store about 2.5 million gigabytes of data, so for the AI data overload frying their cyberware or completely overwriting the “data” present in a persons mind it’s kind of insane to think about what exactly is being processed into them in order to die from a single quickhack. It’s probably an oversight by CDPR since this is just a video game after all, but hardware can only process data as fast as its processor can handle, so it should more realistically put you in a fugue state or coma until the data was processed, eventually rewriting the host’s mind. And that’s just memory we are talking about. I feel like they did a great job dramatizing it all, but I feel like it’s sort of a shit on the amazing things human brains are capable of, not to mention those whose brains are enhanced by cyberware. Sure, a pure AI consciousness could generate enough data for that to happen over a long amount of time, but the sheer hardware capacity in order to affect anything outside of the digital world would have to be insane.
I gave So Mi over after she revealed she wasnt going to help, i was more surprised Reed actually kept his word. Despite losing implant abilities.
👍👍
Reed is a FIA, they're like CIA. I don't trust CIA and USA government in general, so it was an easy choice for me.
Also, I've been watching Sam Bram videos for a while. "Why I clicked on this video?" – I like the content creator.
I firmly believe that siding with SoMi is the correct option, assuming you follow it up with (Don't Fear) The Reaper or Path of Glory. You not only have crippled one of the major corps, gutted anothers capabilities by putting them in a war with the CP2077 equivalent of Sweden in corpo form, so it's probably a 1v the world situation there. You also then basically are
theguy in NC.It also changes the context of the ending as well. No longer are we working for an enigmatic Mr Blue Eyes. We are instead working for a Mr Blue Eyes whom we can all but be certain had some hand in SoMi's cure as well, as seriously, him bankrolling her passage to the moon had to have
somereward, right? Thinking on it this way, this suggests that Mr Blue Eyes may actually have, or have access to a cure for V.Essentially, SoMi DFTR Sets up the world for a situation where both Arasaka and Militech are significantly weaker imo
33:56 damn cabrõn now youre starting to ask the real questions…
If you side with Reed you might prevent the spaceport massacre but even if you decide to merci kill So Mi Myers still gets her body and the neural matrix she’s been carrying on her. This DLC doesn’t really have right choices. Whatever we decide will have consequences in the sequel and probably not good ones
Well, Ciri with her time & space travels went to the Cyberpunk world because she describes it very well in The Witcher 3, she lived six months there with Avallac to hide from Eredin. We just don't know when. So yes the two universes interacted in some way.
You get Sandra as long as you don't kill her. In her quest
They actually lowered the Erebus room to 15 tech and there’s a code you can find to open it
I wanted to help SoMi! She really seemed like she was struggling and doing all she could to become free. Myers seemed so untrustworthy.
The way the Blackwall is presented is either a PR lie, or bad writing by folks who don't understand internet infrastructure. The fiction of the Blackwall is that the dangerous AIs are "on the other side" of the Blackwall, but the reality is that whatever hardware the AIs live on has to be maintained by humans, and humans will only do so whilst that hardware remains economically viable. The logical conclusion of this line of thinking is that the AIs are already everywhere, running the networks, with 1 bit for humans to do their human things for every 1 or 10 or 100 bits for the AIs to live off of, depending on how much superior the AI compression algorithms are to humans.
BTW, the Super Relic in V's head is a big change for the world of Cyberpunk too, talking about cannon changes to the world. First of all, it functions pretty much as the "Altered Carbon" novel/TV show's method of immortality, and V has all the specs on it and potentially could have released it to the world. Once it gets out that every human can be immortal, and the tech specs are freely available, there could be a resurgence of governments in the Cyberpunk world if the govs of the world work together to declare the tech a human right, public domain, etc. Patent law in the real world is actually set up that way already, but our gov hasn't been enforcing it properly for decades. Additionally, terrifyingly, the Super Relic is also the Rosetta Stone that the AIs need in order to directly hack and use human brains!
Finally, speaking of cannon endings, the one I want the most is Johnny getting a second chance in V's body. His first career was rooted in anger and other negative emotions, but he's literally seen the 50 years on consequences of that and changed quite a bit!
