I have to disagree with killing SoMi being the bad choice, she had absolutely no chance at escape beyond what we could give her. She had to call in all her favors to someone who ended up betraying her anyway(in this case twice) and she failed, so if you dont kill her there she WILL be enslaved forever.
100% agreed. For me this is the best outcome for DLC, any other will change nothing for So Mi (except Moon one, where Songbird would get "Phantom Liberty")
@dusty3328 umm, im very VERY sorry but So Mi woll only ever be free in death. If you send her to the moon youre sending her to the AI who brainwashed the Peralez family and was(given Blue Eyes arranged her flight) likely manipulating SoMi from the getgo to not only use her as an agent but also get the Neural Matrix, machine designed to capture and contain artificial intelligences. You basically handed a supervillain 2 different super weapons
@@dusty3328 I'm not 100% sure that it's the best ending for here. Sure, she will be cured, but: 1) Is she will be same So Mi as before Blackwall? 2) In this ending Mr. Blue Eyes can be spotted watching V, which could imply that he helped Songbird with her trip to Moon - but I don't think that he would do that voluntarily and she probably will need to do something in exchange. It wouldn't be a freedom, just changing overlord. But sure, anything is better than giving her back to Myers
I always love the evil / worst playthrough videos because I can never bring myself to do it in the games but I still love to see what happens when you make the evil choices. Keep them coming!
Ha jokes on you, at 6:53 you handed over Alex to Tyger Claws. What you didn't know was in fact that Alex had a hand in killing 70 nomads in the badlands along with Joanne Koch. So handing him over to the Tyger Claws was actually a morally right choice. You can unlock the dialogue by doing the Joanne Koch quest "Guinea Pigs" first and you HAVE to talk to the front desk receptionist at the hotel before you go to Joanne. Then hand over Joanne to the Nomad families and then you go to this quest and. you can unlock a 3rd dialogue option.
Arguably. A dog killing merc likely has a body count not too dissimilar if not greater than Alex. Keep in mind that gun violence in NC is so obscenely regular that they created something called the "Body Count Lottery" which is like playing numbers but the winner is whoever correctly determined that day's number of homicides.
@gustavgustav2670 i went with the choice assuming there was gonna be a future option to help her get away from them, after ALL THAT HAPPENED i assumed saving her wouldn't go straight to handing her to NUSA, I really wish they had something for the ending that let you actually save So Mi
Songbird is a professional gaslighter. She was the most selfish character in the game “Well Myers and the NUSA were mean to her! 😡” Okay I was abused as a child so is it then okay to grow up and do that to somebody else? No it isn’t. “It was for survival! She was dying!!” Dude even Reed had agreed to give up his own head to save his people, she didn’t have an ounce of integrity in her body. The more playthroughs I’ve done the more insufferable she’s become and the more upfront her manipulation and gaslighting were Reed & Alex were the only altruistic and stand up individuals in the main DLC story
6:44 the guy in the trunk of a piece of crap who works for Biotechnica and thinks the red ochre clan / nomads are like bugs , so it's ok to test on them and kill them. Sending him to the claws is the *best* choice IMHO. 🎉
Actually the Maiko option is the best option for the Clouds. Letting the dolls take over just results in the Tiger Claws running in and killing a bunch of dolls, making the conditions much worse. With Maiko, conditions get slightly better.
Worst PL ending would have been to side with Songbird, and then give her up to the FIA. A lot of innocent people get killed, and the NUSA enslave her. Betraying her, then giving her to the NUSA would have also been the worse ending compared to killing her. Its nuts how many people here on UA-cam completely missed the point of her character, it seems like a lot of people forgot the universe this story takes place in. That and the gaming community is not the brightest.
Why killing Songbird should be a bad choice? At least she is freed from Myers’s control and that’s what she wants. Even Reed in the end agrees it was the right choice 🤷🏻♂️
Indeed. I consider this ending as the best one. NUSA fails, Reed is free of his indoctrination, and Songbird had to die anyway, as she carries the deadly virus.
@ I totally agree. This is probably the best ending for everybody except for Alex. We don’t know if the other ending is actually good for Songbird since he’s helped by Mr blue eyes who is pretty mysterious 😶🌫️
@DrSid42 you're kidding right? NUS now has 2 Rogue AIs, access and control of Dogtown with Cynosure's loose ends completely cleaned up. So Mi's body is being taken to Area 51 so specialists can dig up who knows what from her brain. A clean sweep for Myers. Reed is now a lifeless zombie that'll be hanging himself soon enough, and maybe a better solution for So Mi is to help her get cured of that deadly virus hm?
@@bmo5852 What are the options ? NUS has her alive, that's worse. Mr. Blue Eyes has her alive, that's worse. Reed is not lifeless zombie. He's just hungover. It will pass.
Hard disagree on the SoMi choice. I'd rather kill her than let her continue to be tortured by Meyers for power. It's also absurdly optimistic to think she can work something out again and that Meyers won't keep her under lock and key with 10 guards constantly on her. Also gotta disagree that saving Del is the bad option, he hired you to help him with his mental issues, hes an AI, they weren't his "kids" they were viruses, most of which were homicidal or suicidal, no reason to save them.
I want to know who worked on the betray songbird mission getting hunted by the BlackWalled hacked Cerberus droid was absolutely terrifying gave me some major Alien Isolation PTSD
Betraying Songbird then refusing to kill her has to be the worst Phantom Liberty ending. At least by killing her you free her from Myers' control, if you spare her she remains her slave, probably for the rest of her life.
Apart from the corpo ending, I feel like all other endings are subjective. I found betraying SoMi and letting her live was the best option for my corpo V who prioritised survival. SoMi even proves she would have done the same to you anyway given the circumstances. Night City isn't really a place for morality
@@bmo5852 Reed delivers on his promise and the engram is removed. The resulting neural damage means V can never use cyberware again. Reed also offers you a job in the NUSA
You can also fail the entire DLC storyline accepting So Mi's quest when she meets you outside of Dogtown, then promptly turning around and running away. After 5 to 6 minutes, SPaceforce One arrives and gets blown up on its flight in.
I just played betray SoMi for the first time; I don't understand why V didn't just lie about killing Songbird, you could have said she died before you could stabilize her. Reed and Mires might have doubts, but V just owns up to it right away. It rang so hollow. Also, no one talks about Angie becoming the new hottest woman in NC, why no hook-up?
Whats the point in lying? As you can see in the ending in the video, Rosalin doesn't give a fuck that *you killed her* shes mad *you let her die*. So Mi is a tool to her, regardless of how it was broken, it still wasnt delivered to her intact. You get what I'm saying?
Some of these Choices aren't half as bad as he thinks they are. Telling Jefferson and Lizzy Wizzy the Truth leads to them becoming fully unhinged & paranoid, and in Lizzys Case ends with Liams murder and the potential deposing of his Body.
No matter what you do when Takemura kidnaps Hanako, he lives. I ditched him in my playthrough, finished Phantom Liberty, lost all my cyberware, and Takemura showed up in the end, hair much longer, wearing an outfit that they scrapped for River.
The Sergi quest where you can give the corpo up to the claws, letting him go would have been worse because he is tied to another gig in city center where biotechnica and him did some experiments to a nomad group, so giving him to the claws is probably the better option to be honest. ^_^
I really like how some of these side-quests are actually interlinked, so depending on which order you do them, you could end up thinking "Damn, that guy was sh-t, I should've turned him over before." Your POV is shaped by which order you do the quests which I think is a great way to implement them. I don't understand why more games don't do this.
@@finesseandstyle Not that hard. They are quests that could just as easily be separate, in this one it's just a line or two of dialog that links it. Just a simple idea that makes it all work. And these aren't complicated quests, either.
Songbird dying can go either way tbh. Remember, she conned V into helping her, but lied about the cure having an extra dose. But siding with Hanako is the worst decision.
Yea Songbirds quest has so many layers. The only ending I think is actually bad is betray Somi and then deliver her to Meyers alive after seeing her entire backstory. I think killing her is actually way more humane than letting Meyers take her as a slave basically. The other 3 endings all make sense for a bad or good V. Love the Moral dilemmas in CDPR games. Almost rarely a right answer in some of these quests.
I sold Songbird to Reed, I was already jaded from all the back stabbing in NC but after helping her so much just for her to betray V on the way to the rocket was the last straw. Oh sure, she just wants to live, but so does my V, sorry Songbird but in the end, is just survivial, would've stick to it if she had been more honest before hand. Besides the Tower ending isn't that bad,V gets to live all things considered and start fresh, probably outside of NC too.
@@00Mike55 Idk Tower ending is depressing af. V loses Basically all of their friends. The secret ending or the star ending are the best ones imo. Secret is by far the most badass
@@bmbrowns1778 Eh, it feels forced, a true fried would be thrilled to see their friend back after ghosting suddenly, SPECIALLY if they know how bad you had it, if you told them your problem that is. As for relationships, that one checks out, two years without contact would make anyone move on, beyond that it feels too forced just for the sake of making you feel bad.
Resetting Delamaine isn't the worst ending, it's the best. The other two ending end up with rouge AIs on the wrong side of the blackwall, and merging them creates a demigod
@masterofinfinity479 I think they mean the split personalities that take over the escaped cars at the end of the mission. They would be rogue AI in a sense, but I imagine the stuff on the other side of the black wall is straight up malicious.
@@crispychicken28 This. The rouge cars are rouge AIs, and a few of them end up murdering people. They are just cars tho, so their damage is limited and a few of them are just chilling and living life. If you merge them, Delamaine becomes something implied to be massively powerful and fucks off completely to do who knows what
Because of your videos, I saw how fun rpg can be. I don't get time to finish games but your vids show all alternative paths and hard work of a dev. Thank You
That awkward (and funny) moment when the Delamain questline ending is a practically the same as the ME3 ending, but with better and more logical writing
I LOVE this worst playthrough series!! Theyre always hilarious. Just finished fallout NV myself and would love to see an evil bald courier reign terror over the mojave 🤣
I feel like telling the mayor about all the stuff happening to him is worse then not telling him, cause if you do be goes absolutely schizophrenic and insane. But if you don't he seems okay for awhile.
I ended up taking about half of all the cursed options just by following my moral compass. Some decisions sound good, but end up being completely rotten, because these loose-loose situations are exactly what cyberpunk is all about. Even when you're trying to do the right thing, NC just stabs you in the back and the people you tired to save end up in a meat grinder anyway. That's how NC is telling you to stop being such a hero and to pour some more gasoline on the fire to speed things up a bit. The city is already on fire, but who has the time to wait.
Judy is a gonk with a dumb plan to take Clouds, hard to feel bad about the decision. I usually just ignore her when it comes to that point, totally agree with Johnny that it's just a bad idea to follow Judy's plan.
I swear the writers made Maiko such a rude person as a crutch just so players would not want to execute her plan. I do appreciate Judy being chill with you even if you don't go through with Judy's plan and don't pocket the money (Which if you do she accuses you of being a money grubber, which to be fair you kinda are). If Judy wasn't chill even when you don't pocket the money, I'd say she's a way bigger narcissist than Johnny. Edit: Just wanted to add as a side note that yes I think Johnny pretty narcissistic, I think a "zealous rebel" is a more accurate description than "narcissistic rockerboy."
@@dylanbradford7863 But I think it accurately reflects the hard reality of NC that V has to be a hardcore realist to see past Judy's emotionalism and Maiko's cold calculations to determine what is best long term. My last playthrough I simply bailed on Judy at that point, because I didn't see either option as being better than how things currently were. Woodmen got knocked off, that seemed like sufficient enough payback for me. Neither Judy nor Maiko ultimately offered a better solution for the dolls than life with Woodmen removed.
Funnily enough you could just run away from Rogue during the mission where you help her find a lead on Smasher. I did this accidentally the first time when I tried to grab Johnny's car in the container while they were talking. She sends you an angry text saying to never show your face in Afterlife and the mission fails.
Whats sad is that my very first playthrough I tried to make good decisions based on what my instincts were telling me and I made several of these choices and had the ending where I got to talk to Jackie's ghost in the Arasaka HQ. Made me think long and hard about some of my instincts. I thought I was protecting people and protecting my friends and trying not to get exploited by others as the naive nomad I was. And I was just being a naive nomad. Very funny in hindsight.
Ugh! I am playing through Phantom Liberty right now for the first time so I have to skip the middle part of this video! I will be back (and I can't wait to see if I made any 'bad' choices!)!
Definitely do New Vegas, but it’s going to be a long video requiring a ton of research, so I’d go for it in strides, with something else in between to prevent burnout. Great content, I always appreciate the work you put into your videos.
I actually thought after I helped Nele with everything that she turned on me like the dirty commie she is and set that trap to close any loose ends. So the next playthroughs I immediately sold her out to the corps. Had no idea they were just posing as her lol.
This game and specifcally DLC really show many sides of stories and can entertain anyones opinions. Like, I personally believe killing So Mi is the most humane and morally good ending of PL. Regardless of if the Neural Matrix can save her or nto, she still doesnt know who she is anymore, the Blackwall tampering ruined her mind. Killing her was a form of mercy, giving her back to the NUSA is basically putting her chains back on and securing the eventual collapse of the Blackwall. Also having a crazy hacking demon possed woman on the same moon of the transport canons isnt a good idea for eath ethier.
The worst choice in Cyberpunk is to play male V instead of female V with Cherami Leigh's masterpiece of a voice over performance. So, you kinda failed in that...
Male V is by far the more convincing performance. Female V's voice only feels real if you're playing street kid. Male V sounds like he could be from any walk of life, which is something you want in a role-playing game.
Oh boy... Worst Playthrough V.2... this is going to be fun (expect this comment be edited once I finish watching this revised bald V run... as she follows the steps of the likes of the "Hero" of Ferelden or Incompetent Inquisitor). Edit: Wow... you can fail the entire DLC by failing the very start... that's funny, but just like THAT quest in DAO Inquisition you can let things end with that funny failure of getting kicked out of the content. Yup, the game really punishes you if you do the bogus choices all the time, I still wonder how much of a Worst Playthrough can be pulled out in DAO Veiguard aside of THAT part.
Why are you muting all the words "fuck" in this video??? It’s Cyberpunk obviously that we’re going to hear fuck here and there. It’s boring that you change all the words seriously fuck.
the amount of censorship in that video is batshit insane, absolutely infuriating, good video otherwise but the censorship is so bad i don't wanna see your channel ever again
Do you have do another baldur gate 3 worst playthrough including all of the bad choice because you missed lot bad choice you can make with dark urge if you have minsc and jaheira and if dark urge lose duel to orin
I do agree truning on somi or killing somi is a bad decision you lock your self out and piss off nusa president I do agree failing to save the nusa president not a dg I do agree truning on panam or judy bad idea so I do agree with Dan on alot but he missed something if you do the robot cab before the dlc and rest him you actually fine out it was a vris so that decision not a bad one there's a few quest if you do before the dlc they have outcomes so Dan is a little big off
39:20 you didnt say nothing about that fake ass pre recorded message engram of jackie xD no way thats what he'd say if it was really him xD and then she tries to talk to it... that was just the worst part of the game if you ever got that to happen
At 35:03... tell me? What is too graphic for UA-cam? I mean it is not your fault but come on there is nothing graphic about that scene, must be an American thing. Anyway great video as always. Keep up the good work my friend.
I disagree. I’ll side with hanako every time cause there’s no good ending for a straight female V. You’ll die alone in every ending with her. Oh wow, you take a shower with river. You leave nightcity with Judy or panam. You think guys give a crap about Kerry? If river would leave with V and the nomads I might have a different opinion. Rather take my chances with a new body, even if it’s a robot.
I suppose this isn't the best place to vent about how much I hated the "acting" for lizzy wizzy. THEN I found out she's famous?!? then I tried to listen to her music.... then I saw Elon's her baby daddy????? then I decided I hate the fact they gave her a bunch of money to hire her to cringingly emote into a microphone, then listened to all the playback and said "Yeah! This is great stuff, we will use this and ppl will love it." I suppose you can call it acting but if that's the best of what they recorded I can barely imagine how bad the cut takes were.. IMO she's the poster child for what happens when you have privileged upper class rich parents. also a key example of my theory in regards to "actors" and "musicians" becoming famous. It doesn't matter how talented you are if you can afford to throw great parties. huh, I take it back... hiring Claire "Bougie Butcher" Boucher (aka The Mouth) was ironically AND unironically maybe one of the best choices possible to suit the role of Lizzy Wizzy....

Ha jokes on you, at 6:53 you handed over Alex to Tyger Claws. What you didn't know was in fact that Alex had a hand in killing 70 nomads in the badlands along with Joanne Koch. So handing him over to the Tyger Claws was actually a morally right choice.
You can unlock the dialogue by doing the Joanne Koch quest "Guinea Pigs" first and you HAVE to talk to the front desk receptionist at the hotel before you go to Joanne. Then hand over Joanne to the Nomad families and then you go to this quest and. you can unlock a 3rd dialogue option.

@masterofinfinity479 I think they mean the split personalities that take over the escaped cars at the end of the mission. They would be rogue AI in a sense, but I imagine the stuff on the other side of the black wall is straight up malicious.
@@crispychicken28 This. The rouge cars are rouge AIs, and a few of them end up murdering people. They are just cars tho, so their damage is limited and a few of them are just chilling and living life. If you merge them, Delamaine becomes something implied to be massively powerful and fucks off completely to do who knows what
Because of your videos, I saw how fun rpg can be. I don't get time to finish games but your vids show all alternative paths and hard work of a dev. Thank You
That awkward (and funny) moment when the Delamain questline ending is a practically the same as the ME3 ending, but with better and more logical writing
I LOVE this worst playthrough series!! Theyre always hilarious. Just finished fallout NV myself and would love to see an evil bald courier reign terror over the mojave 🤣
V's worst path: does nothing, gets hated by everyone and gets Arasaka'd
I feel like telling the mayor about all the stuff happening to him is worse then not telling him, cause if you do be goes absolutely schizophrenic and insane. But if you don't he seems okay for awhile.
i love how he said saving takemura is a bad decision but chooses to not save him as the bad decision
Yo! You and Sam Bram both upload Cyberpunk content on the same day!? Hell yeah!
Johnny calling out V on her BS is so hilarious to me!
I ended up taking about half of all the cursed options just by following my moral compass. Some decisions sound good, but end up being completely rotten, because these loose-loose situations are exactly what cyberpunk is all about. Even when you're trying to do the right thing, NC just stabs you in the back and the people you tired to save end up in a meat grinder anyway. That's how NC is telling you to stop being such a hero and to pour some more gasoline on the fire to speed things up a bit. The city is already on fire, but who has the time to wait.
Judy is a gonk with a dumb plan to take Clouds, hard to feel bad about the decision. I usually just ignore her when it comes to that point, totally agree with Johnny that it's just a bad idea to follow Judy's plan.
I swear the writers made Maiko such a rude person as a crutch just so players would not want to execute her plan. I do appreciate Judy being chill with you even if you don't go through with Judy's plan and don't pocket the money (Which if you do she accuses you of being a money grubber, which to be fair you kinda are). If Judy wasn't chill even when you don't pocket the money, I'd say she's a way bigger narcissist than Johnny.
Edit: Just wanted to add as a side note that yes I think Johnny pretty narcissistic, I think a "zealous rebel" is a more accurate description than "narcissistic rockerboy."
Yea but it’s more self fulfilling if I’m nice to her and then romance her. A few dolls can be sacrificed
@@dylanbradford7863 But I think it accurately reflects the hard reality of NC that V has to be a hardcore realist to see past Judy's emotionalism and Maiko's cold calculations to determine what is best long term.
My last playthrough I simply bailed on Judy at that point, because I didn't see either option as being better than how things currently were. Woodmen got knocked off, that seemed like sufficient enough payback for me. Neither Judy nor Maiko ultimately offered a better solution for the dolls than life with Woodmen removed.
Funnily enough you could just run away from Rogue during the mission where you help her find a lead on Smasher. I did this accidentally the first time when I tried to grab Johnny's car in the container while they were talking. She sends you an angry text saying to never show your face in Afterlife and the mission fails.
I'd argue pretty strongly that the worst choice is siding with SoMi, and then handing her over to reed anyway after they massacre everyone
Whats sad is that my very first playthrough I tried to make good decisions based on what my instincts were telling me and I made several of these choices and had the ending where I got to talk to Jackie's ghost in the Arasaka HQ.
Made me think long and hard about some of my instincts. I thought I was protecting people and protecting my friends and trying not to get exploited by others as the naive nomad I was. And I was just being a naive nomad. Very funny in hindsight.
Not sure why i'm excited for this. Love all of your bald evil protagonist videos.
Ugh! I am playing through Phantom Liberty right now for the first time so I have to skip the middle part of this video! I will be back (and I can't wait to see if I made any 'bad' choices!)!
Definitely do New Vegas, but it’s going to be a long video requiring a ton of research, so I’d go for it in strides, with something else in between to prevent burnout.
Great content, I always appreciate the work you put into your videos.
Big Dan: "And the worst decisions in these Dogtown quests are... "
And I just seeing all of my decisions I made. I tried my best I promise...
Me realizing i accidentally made all the wrong choices for the phantom liberty side quests
I actually thought after I helped Nele with everything that she turned on me like the dirty commie she is and set that trap to close any loose ends. So the next playthroughs I immediately sold her out to the corps. Had no idea they were just posing as her lol.
V for Violence and Vituperation, as only Evil Dan could bring her to us.
I love this type of video. I could never play this way and it's hilarious to see the CYE Cyberpunk experience.
This game and specifcally DLC really show many sides of stories and can entertain anyones opinions. Like, I personally believe killing So Mi is the most humane and morally good ending of PL. Regardless of if the Neural Matrix can save her or nto, she still doesnt know who she is anymore, the Blackwall tampering ruined her mind. Killing her was a form of mercy, giving her back to the NUSA is basically putting her chains back on and securing the eventual collapse of the Blackwall. Also having a crazy hacking demon possed woman on the same moon of the transport canons isnt a good idea for eath ethier.
Boosteroid offers the best gaming experience without breaking the bank
holy shit! i wasnt aware u can mess up THAT BAD in the game XD kinda wild how far the Devs went to let ppl have absolute freedom, pretty dope
I never played Cyberpunk 2077 but I am sure invested in this run xD
Dan should be a life coach......
Damn I'm tripping, I thought you were supposed to kill the cyber Psychos lmao
But what about Bitcoin V and his relationship with Councilor Udina??
I did some of these by pure accident. Great video
Night City is my personal Hotel California
It just looks like normal democrat ran Bay Area.
I really liked this video, I mean cyberpunk videos in general lmao
The worst choice in Cyberpunk is to play male V instead of female V with Cherami Leigh's masterpiece of a voice over performance. So, you kinda failed in that...
I always thought Male V got way too much hate, He has some great lines. Female V is more consistent but Male V has higher highs and lower lows imo
Female V sounds like a gremlin bro
Male V is by far the more convincing performance. Female V's voice only feels real if you're playing street kid. Male V sounds like he could be from any walk of life, which is something you want in a role-playing game.
Ive never played cyberpunk 2077 I'm getting soon and exited. Don't know what choices are good though
I can't even betray songbird for achievement
More cyberpunk content would be nice
Oh boy... Worst Playthrough V.2... this is going to be fun (expect this comment be edited once I finish watching this revised bald V run... as she follows the steps of the likes of the "Hero" of Ferelden or Incompetent Inquisitor).
Edit: Wow... you can fail the entire DLC by failing the very start... that's funny, but just like THAT quest in DAO Inquisition you can let things end with that funny failure of getting kicked out of the content.
Yup, the game really punishes you if you do the bogus choices all the time, I still wonder how much of a Worst Playthrough can be pulled out in DAO Veiguard aside of THAT part.
No You can do worst to Panam.
Rattle Her out to Saul.
Did you actually make evil choices in an RPG? I was told that was impossible.
after this i see that half my missions from dlc are done wrong by me haha
I can’t wait for bald Rook next 😅
They say you can kill all, or the majority companions if you skip loyalty missions. Would be fun
Naughty Naughty V lol
This game wouldve been a masterpiece if they added new game plus,i wouldve played it non stop.
loved this series
Imagine if by betraying Judy you could romance maliko
Your V isn't corpo enough. Betraying Panam before Tank Heist would give you a unique free car.
I totally agree that these are the worst decisions!
Sheesh, does this V even have a soul to soulkill?
2024 is almost over I'm still wishing on the Star of David to bring me Paname as my wife
King of Cups, is the best ending
Takemura saying "No! You didn't have to!" was so sad. Also, I shouldn't have listened to Johnny. I didn't know I could go back for him. F*ck.
18:45 i forgot to pick up those blueprints which is the entire point i did that route
New Vegas! New Vegas! NEW VEGAS!!!!
Why are you muting all the words "fuck" in this video??? It’s Cyberpunk obviously that we’re going to hear fuck here and there. It’s boring that you change all the words seriously fuck.
I don’t think this dan knows what the word “worst” means..
Make the best decision in cyberpunk 2077 next
the amount of censorship in that video is batshit insane, absolutely infuriating, good video otherwise but the censorship is so bad i don't wanna see your channel ever again
I did most of the worst choices in my first playtrough 😖
Do you have do another baldur gate 3 worst playthrough including all of the bad choice because you missed lot bad choice you can make with dark urge if you have minsc and jaheira and if dark urge lose duel to orin
this was very painful to watch, thanks
There aren’t any bad decisions, only bad players
28:55 who else always crouches here and tries to get under the countertop?
What??
Female V sounds like a gremlin
I do agree truning on somi or killing somi is a bad decision you lock your self out and piss off nusa president I do agree failing to save the nusa president not a dg I do agree truning on panam or judy bad idea so I do agree with Dan on alot but he missed something if you do the robot cab before the dlc and rest him you actually fine out it was a vris so that decision not a bad one there's a few quest if you do before the dlc they have outcomes so Dan is a little big off
39:20 you didnt say nothing about that fake ass pre recorded message engram of jackie xD no way thats what he'd say if it was really him xD and then she tries to talk to it... that was just the worst part of the game if you ever got that to happen
At 35:03... tell me? What is too graphic for UA-cam? I mean it is not your fault but come on there is nothing graphic about that scene, must be an American thing.
Anyway great video as always. Keep up the good work my friend.
Killing somi is the only good choice. You failed.
I disagree. I’ll side with hanako every time cause there’s no good ending for a straight female V. You’ll die alone in every ending with her. Oh wow, you take a shower with river.
You leave nightcity with Judy or panam. You think guys give a crap about Kerry?
If river would leave with V and the nomads I might have a different opinion.
Rather take my chances with a new body, even if it’s a robot.
17:00 lmfao
I suppose this isn't the best place to vent about how much I hated the "acting" for lizzy wizzy.
THEN I found out she's famous?!?
then I tried to listen to her music....
then I saw Elon's her baby daddy?????
then I decided I hate the fact they gave her a bunch of money to hire her to cringingly emote into a microphone, then listened to all the playback and said "Yeah! This is great stuff, we will use this and ppl will love it." I suppose you can call it acting but if that's the best of what they recorded I can barely imagine how bad the cut takes were..
IMO she's the poster child for what happens when you have privileged upper class rich parents.
also a key example of my theory in regards to "actors" and "musicians" becoming famous. It doesn't matter how talented you are if you can afford to throw great parties.
huh, I take it back... hiring Claire "Bougie Butcher" Boucher (aka The Mouth) was ironically AND unironically maybe one of the best choices possible to suit the role of Lizzy Wizzy....
This game is so terrible, every playthrough is the worst playthrough
Couldn't be me I ain't got it in me
greem room
There’s no good choice in cyberpunk lol everyone is bad
Not saying everything is 'bad' just that there is no clear-cut morally clear choice.
35:00 no it isnt lol they dont show nothing
