      If you understand how the eye implant/mod works, it makes perfect sense. It highlights enemies that have detected you. If Adam has the same mod (which I guarantee he does, if not better) it makes perfect sense. If the player had the mod when he walked in, they’d detect him. And that would set off Adams mod, because an “enemy” (the player) detected them. So Adam would’ve seen you the second he walked in. And he would’ve immediately seen you because your mod would’ve set off his. You detected him. So he detected you. kinda confusing but makes sense if you get it

      If you understand how the eye implant/mod works, it makes perfect sense. It highlights enemies that have detected you. If Adam has the same mod (which I guarantee he does, if not better) it makes perfect sense. If the player had the mod when he walked in, they’d detect him. And that would set off Adams mod, because an “enemy” (the player) detected them. So Adam would’ve seen you the second he walked in. And he would’ve immediately seen you because your mod would’ve set off his. You detected him. So he detected you. But yeah he’s also just looking directly at you it’s pretty obvious lol. there’s a reason t-bug got caught out right after Adam left. knew you were there, ramped up security. Even if the player didn’t have the implant, he would’ve seen you anyways. Because you would’ve been highlighted in his sight the moment you saw him.

V canonically is quite strong so it doesn't effect. the anime character gets minorly affected but canonically is also quite strong. its theorised that adam smasher is unaffected as hes always been a psycho, so cyberpsychosis does nothing but add to his already psychotice personality. i would assume ppl of higher power want to keep sane to run a country

  • @emirhanbedel331
    @emirhanbedel331 Год назад +1

    The reason Smasher gets his ass handed to him in game probably because David is just putting chrome when he finds some, only relying on his resistance to hold together the unoptimized tech. V buys it from really expensive ripperdocs, is able to get them when his body is ready. Not to mention, V is older, wiser, and has Silverhand in his head, repairing the brain constantly, so no cyberpsychosis ever. And the exoskeleton David wore had a big weakness as Smasher said, if the gravity modifiers are gone, it can't even move. And Smasher had the luxury of examining the enemy before the fight, V did not get scouted before, so Smasher was going in blind.

  • @jeremiahhawkins3193
    @jeremiahhawkins3193 Год назад +1

    The actual reason the Adam Smasher can see you is simple
    1. The developer hard coded into the game that boss enemies can always see you.
    2. Adam Smashers actual model is used both here and in the boss fight.
    If either 1 or 2 were not true Adam would not see you.
    If Adam Smasher, could actually see you (if it was canon), then it would be more than likely that the Arasakas could see you as well. All three of them most likely have top of the line Kiroshi optics or Arasaka's equivalent.

    Unfortunately people already investigated this and found that in the code it forces the values on since adam is a boss. A boss* in cyberpunk2077 always detects you so that way the fight progresses normally.

    They think V & Jackie already dead inside, so they scanner didn't work.
    After the rampage, Jackie is dead and V, got Johnny from the shard. Until real V or Johnny take over the V body.

    I mean my first playthrough i was level 27 when i faced smasher, and well i lost like 20 times, then on my second playthrough i was level 50 and i was done with smasher in like two minutes, it's not that smasher is a weak boss, it's V is a fucking god at a high level

    I love how after Edgerunners people now see V as simply being overpowered instead of Smasher being weak.

    bro imagine if smasher just walked up to the glass and put his hand on it then walks away.

    I dont get why they changed that of all things, it makes sense since he's got so many enhancements it wouldn't surprise me if he had one that noticed heart beats or something and the only reason he didn't immediately kill you was because he wanted to have some fun
