      Dude is using most op katana with blade weapon build. Try something else, that's not the only way. Maybe go shotgun, rifle or pistol and add kerenzikov? Try the power, tech o smart wepons? Build yourself for hacking? There are many ways and finding broken builds is actually fun.
      As for fixing melee i would personally tighten hitboxes and i would make enemies attack faster, at least fast enough so that you can logically deduce WHEN to parry for fucks sake, tweak ranges so that strikes land as far as you feel they would, add proper colisions so that you can charge somebody to make that dude fall. There are so many ideas that could make melee better and more interesting. And add some faster executions for mantis blades, maybe some chokeslams and headsmashes for fists.
      Oh. And add some more active skills for cyberpsychos and smasher. Give them some gimmicks. especially the smasher so that he won't just die when you are this OP.

      @SilentGuy Hmm, you could rationalise it as a peculiar form of cyberpsychosis? Kinda like giving up your long-term health for short-term power and Johnny's skills, experiences and reflexes. Although I admit, it's still a little bit of a stretch.

    • @100PercentEAT
      @100PercentEAT Рік тому +128

      @@Silentguy_ I got a few rationalizations in it. One: You are sharing a brain with an Ex-Military Corporation Terrorist and V already has a little Merc experience. Since V's brain is slowly melding over to Johnny you could argue that you have both persons' life experiences at your resource. I also like to think of the prologue of the game as a prologue you really don't have control over which is why none of your choices before then really matter until Johnny is in your head, so our input as a player is kinda what Johnny's influence partly is. Two: Yes, they have brain cancer but the symptoms seem to be intermittently affecting V's ability to function properly, not taking into account the constant symptom of Johnny talking to you. Three: If V wants to survive the whole ordeal, V didn't have a choice, but to become the strongest merc to exist in his time. You don't have a day to waste getting stronger as V. Which makes sense in the way most people play RPGs. The only times I see people willingly go to sleep in an RPG is when they have to for story or if they run out if healing supplies a la Fallout. V is in the hardest possible Sink or Swim situation. Which means they either had it in them to become a powerful merc the whole time, and this situation brought it out in them. Or, Johnny's influence plus V's light merc experience creates the merc that you play as.

    Two factors make this mission uniquely difficult:
    Saving is not allowed throughout the entire mission.
    V's max Health will be lowered by 25% at the start of the mission, and gradually decreases by an additional 1% at certain intervals, indicated by the "Relic Malfunction Detected" notification. The longer it takes to complete the mission, the harder it gets to survive.

      It's only difficult if you don't have a good V build. Do every gig and every ncpd mission. Deck yourself out with legendaries from head to toe and chose a good build like full net runner or full coldblood and you'll get this mission done in less than 5 minutes on very hard without ever needing to heal even once. Cold blood especially because of the damage boost that let's you one shot everything with like 80k damage.

    All of the game's endings (including the Arasaka ending, don't @ me) are cool and thought provoking. And I of course love the optimistic possibility of V living a peaceful life with the nomads.
    However there is something so wonderfully beautiful, simple, and iconic to just saying "fuck it" and walking in the front door of Saka tower with a gun in your hand. This will always be the canon ending to me. This is what Cyberpunk is about. No happy endings, just one last blaze of glory and a chance to give the corpo scum a giant flaming middle finger.

    I know we are all sad that V pretty much doesn’t survive in any of the endings but if you really pay attention, the second V and Jackie took the mission from Dexter Deshawn, you and Jackie were already dead men walking. Jackie dies before you of course but you die shortly after with a bullet to the head. V died before they could even make their mark in Night City.
    The Relic ironically was what saved their life while at the same time dooming them later. It’s actually really sad once you realize this. V died very early on in the story, what could have saved them or at least postponed their death because let’s face it V was gonna die one way or another in that chosen field it was just a matter of when and if they died in a blaze and gained legendary status, would be to not be so hasty in trying to get to the “Major Leagues.” So imo V brought this particular circumstance and death on themselves by dealing with Dexter Deshawn who was shown to be dishonest and no good from the start.
    Imagine how different V’s journey would have played out if they hadn’t dealt with Deshawn who was a major fixer but many people told V he couldn’t be trusted, and stayed with Fixers like Wakako and eventually Rogue and other jobs to build up their rep and experience. They could have been much more successful or they could have died early on too we don’t know, this world of cyberpunk is very unpredictable, but it wouldn’t have been this way which we are all bummed out about.
    But, we also wouldn’t have this game. I think most of us who’ve watched and played this got so caught up in Johnny and the Relic and V dying slowly over the course of the game that we overlook the fact that V had already died and was just another merc that tried to make a name for themselves and failed. The only thing living this long allowed V to do is actually gain a reputation and possibly become a legend.

    In my opinion. this is arguably the best ending, provided you live as dying will trigger "The Easy Way out" ending.
    Saburo loses. Yorinobu changes Arasaka. Hanako doesn't have to be put into a forceful marriage and/or will leave Arasaka, becoming a Nomad. Saul and Panam get along better. Mama Welles is over joyous that "her own kin she took in" is a legend and her and Misty getting along better (provided you tell her to give up the animosity between her and Misty) Rogue still lives and tells you you're in charge with Afterlife. V will never fade away due to becoming a Night City Legend, hell something is telling me V will live a lot longer than Six months like Alt is telling them. Even Misty is all like "you're gonna live longer than what is expected."
    For a story that isn't suppose to be about saving the world, instead saving yourself, you sure manage to save yourself, your friends and family, and have Night City set up to be "working for a nuclear free city."

    • @TipoIrritable

      No. The best ending is with Panama. There was always the premise that Nightcity always won, no matter what happens; staying in Nightcity makes things worse and probably opens the door to more enemies. The journey and narrative of Johnny and V’s journey is that, in the end, the important thing is not to save yourself, but to save your loved ones. So leaving Night City and protecting your new family is the best argumentatively.

      Cherami Leigh is a phenomenally talented Voice actress that you will likely have heard before across her many roles in video games and animation. She brings a very unique approach to V I find in how she weaves through the emotional differences in conversations a lot more than the male V does I feel.
      Not to discredit the male VA at all. He does a phenomenal job as well it just makes for a very interesting comparison when seeing the same scenes with either VA.
      I feel like this will be very much like Mass Effect where despite the Male version of commander Shepard with VA by Mark Meer is the most widely marketed, it’s actually the female one voiced by Jennifer Hale that receives the most fan and critical praise for their performance in the role. We might see a similar case with the female V given how much attention the difference is getting between the two.

One of the best weapons to proceed forward was the Hammer tech pistol, as well as a high level Defender, and in case y’all wondering, I was level 45, you don’t necessarily need the highest level to pass the mission.

    After completing the game and now watching all the endings. Gotta say the best ending for me (which I chose) was playing as Johny and then johny deciding to sacrifice himself so V gets her body back.
    Made it feel like it wasn't 2 different people in the body, and made it feel like johnnys (your) decision actually meant something). Sad that Judy leaves, but the way its made out is convincing (that she needs more than night city). All in all. an incredible story.

      Flash back to some of the behind the scenes when we saw the dialogs branching , Evelyns deal , Jackie introducing us to the valintinos , Tbug siding with Dexter, V killing dex with mantis blade ,! maybe these big patch's coming Jan and Feb will include these missing options , Some side jobs seem to have hidden branch's too like Peterpans farm braindance shows a scanable shadow hinting the killer was brainwashed.

      @@robertwatson6880 Right? I was wondering about that woman. That she was supposed to be a clue, but then after the quest I realized nothing came of it and I was confused why that shadowy figure showed up in the first place. Hope to see some continuation to the Peralez ending too. That stuff was pretty interesting, it would be nice to dig deeper into it.
