@@en3myt4ll0n9 That's what's disappointing about the game, that is seems a bit incomplete because the acting, voice acting, animations, etc when they nail them are INCREDIBLE
@@willmgs3903 what I’m saying, her screams just so so realistic... something you would hear if this actually happened irl. They have some major flaws like any other game but character development and acting definitely isn’t one of them.
There is literally no reason to spare Smasher except doing a 100% non-lethal run. In fact, if I were allowed to kill only one enemy in the game, it would be Smasher. He's probably the biggest piece of shit in Night City
Because sparing him would be humiliating him. He hates people that aren't as decked out in cybernetics like he is, so, he sees other people as a bunch of useless meat, and his own cybernetics as superior. When he gets spared, he's gonna have to live with the fact that his fancy metal cybernetics never meant shit and that he got beaten by what he always despised and saw as weak, a human with just some regular "meat" body.
@Echo_The_Enderman.cyber psychosis can be manifested in manny ways, for example we have jonnhy who speak to his mechanical arm that whisp things to him, also he blame the arm everytime he do something bad or evil
V talks to Johnny without speaking out loud, he mentions this when she yells at him after you talk to Takemura in the diner, he says "Yk you don't have to speak out loud to talk to me"
@@poggerato4516 It's not just about how much chrome you have, but also battle experience, strategy, preparedness, as well as mental state. V was just better on all avenues. I'm sure if they animated the V vs Adam fight in Anime form, it'd really properly show just how much of a beast V is. This pretty much makes them the legend of legends. David was mad good, but V is on a whole other level.
I am disappointed that one can't do 'don't fear the reaper' then join the Aldecaldos in skipping town so Saul is spared. Doubly so since if you romance Panam then leave with them she is too busy running the clan to spend much of your very limited remaining time with you, which is in itself sad. Oh well, better to burn out than to fade away... Crystal palace ho!
POV: You've just watched Edgerunners and now know how much stronger V is than David Side comment: I still enjoy David's evolution Edit: TYSM FOR THE LIKES❤
@@oppai9611 Are you joking? You do realize what happens if you DONT go with them? They slowly rot and fade away. Its made clear in the ending they NEED this raid. They need to it fund their fresh start. Nomads are supposed to risk their lives. Its part of who they are. Losing Saul and Bobby and Teddy was nowhere near as sad as having Saul txting you begging to throw him some scraps after your sucessful raid because they need the money real bad. Saul gave his life sure but it gives the Caldos a new lease on life.
Most poetic moment I had for this game was the fight with smasher. Had him to his knees then left him knowing he was gonna say something as I walk away. I get all the way to the door to Mikoshi and blabs I’ll be back I hit a 180 turn malorian arms Johnny flip one shot quick scope to the dome and v hit em with that “yeah I doubt it”...and scene
I used Rebecca’s shotgun “Guts” you can find it in a bush behind 3 praying monks where she died in the circle park by arasaka tower it’s on the metro fast travel side of the circle
I wanted to do the 'don't fear the reaper' solo run to spare Saul, then skip town with the Aldecaldos but that's not an option afforded us. Sadly it means that if you do go with the Aldecaldos and Panam you're going to still have an absentee partner while your very limited clock ticks down.
Before edgerunners: I'm not a killer! I must spare this guy! After edgerunner: you killed David, Crushed Rebecca and left Lucy to be alone, you don't deserve mercy
To be fair, David was already dead in a sense. No way he could have undone his cyberpsychosis in time. Rebecca’s the only person who really deserves to be avenged.
Adam has won fights so easily he forgot what pain even feels like, that's why his line: "Is this pain? I remember this sensation.." is so genuine, and he's actually impressed your able to make him feel pain again.
I do like that they give you the option to spare or kill almost everyone, just wish there was a reason to. Other then a handful of people there is no reason to spare anything.
I personnaly played as much non-lethzl as I could after the prologue. Since V is slowly dying a'd juste lost his friend, I think it's logical to suppose that he might be a little more "sensible" on that subject, and, so, less inclined in killing people
Sometimes you can get better rewards for not killing your target, mainly the cyberpsychos, but a few other missions where you have the option to kill the target but if you keep them alive they get taken away.. probably to be tortured and killed so not sure if that is truly pacifist.
@@All.I06 He isn't a soldier. When he *was* a soldier, he was dishonorably discharged for his behavior. He's a merc. He has no obligation to what he does, and does it entirely because he *likes* killing. In fact, he intentionally seeks out missions that he feels will cause the highest body count. This is why he tries killing what's left of David's crew when they bolt- that wasn't part of his mission set. Furthermore, Smasher detects the player in code when V first sees him, and chooses not to tell anyone. Probably because it wouldn't have been fun for him. Not very soldier-like. Protip: Don't defend mass murderers. Also, when orders are immoral soldiers have a duty to disobey them. Blind obedience isn't a virtue.

If Arasaka doesn't dispose of him for his failure, then they will rebuild him, upgrade him, make him better than before. I spared Adam for the chance to fight again, to fight a stronger opponent with even more experience. I hope it's not the end, I hope we meet again.
Honestly this is me in every game I can spare an enemy, grow stronger so that next we meet I might have a little fun, I hate it when they don't come back tho
I played the game like I was Doom Slayer so I asked myself would doomslayer let him live? And then I proceeded to charge up my shotgun and blow him away
Exerts from the Final Boss Manual: Choose your battle location in a challenging environment, preferably an enclosed area or a chase through a chaotic environment. Leave a considerate amount of ammo, weapons, or emergency health equipment laying around. Be sure to acknowledge your opponent by taunting or simply talking to them in combat, even if you are losing.
Smasher wanted to die after this defeat. He knew Arisaka was never going to rebuild him back nor use his services again after his failure. He knew he would live out the rest of his (questionably short) life left in a state of permanent damage & pain. Smasher knew what fate lies before him. Killing him is Smasher going out on his own terms.
@@TheAkuiBombBaby I'm not saying it doesn't feel good. But the fact that he knows that he's done for. That's why he goads you into killing him after the fight.
I doubt it, like yeah he failed once but he got beaten by fucking cyber jesus and before that he was cleaning house for over 60 years. Any gonk can see he's still useful, escpecially in the precarious situation that Arasaka is left in after the ending.
@@muda1312Cyberpunk world isn't that bright. NUSA wiped Johnny when they could convince him to join them or some shit, but no. Any corpo would kill to have Smasher even in that state.
In a lot of games the "kill/spare" options means nothing only dialogues changes, that for the player means only getting an achievement or see something little different. Or maybe you simply want to role-play with high mortal principles or as infinite blood thirsty... I think edgerunner did retroactively something almost unique. You need to have loads of courage to forgive Adam and spare his life now, like killing him now matter because you are blinded by revenge. In the game that choice can still means anything but now for the player that spare/kill matter and it's an heavy choice.
Revenge is a fools game that’s a true fact it sometimes solves everything sometimes it doesn’t and at the end it’s all a lie and makes you take your own life or sacrifice yourself to save everyone for the greater good
I love how whenever you say Johnny sends his regards. Adam doesn't even remember who he is. Because Johnny didn't meant shit to him. His rivalry was with Morgan Blackhand.
@@leonrussell9607 The TTRPG lore (which is confirmed to be what ACTUALLY happened and not Johnny's memories) shows that Smasher, while knowing who Johnny was, he truly didn't care about him a lot. In reality he barely looked at him and killed him without a word, so he could focus in Morgan. Also he isn't who collected his stuff, it was a fan of his. Probably all of it was stolen before 2077, because it was around 203X that they last talked about Johnny's possessions. But yeah, Johnny in 2077 makes V believe that he was much more important and had a bigger role (other example is that the AHQ Bombing wasn't even his idea, it was Militech's).
In my story, Saul and Panam was there, at that moment seeing Adam standing over Saul I was thinking it was a decisive moment in being able interact to interrupt Adam in killing Saul. I kept pressing Aim and fire but nothing happened. Missed opportunity there to create a cool moment in for another outcome.
The one thing I always hated in rpgs is when you can't use your character's gear to impact the story, for example I could have used one my many air hypos to save Jackie or atleast keep him awake until we could get to Vick, in Saul's case quick hacks or the Sandesvistan operating system or just a really powerful gun could have saved Saul
I liked how he gets weaker as the fight goes on. Blew through almost all my ammo so I just went in swinging with my gorilla arms. It felt cool dancing around him beating him down while he was too slow to keep up. Did the Saka ending and the arena you fight in for that is cool with lots of destructible cover so we made a mess of the place.
Rogue and Saul instantly die to Smasher like chumps. Takemura survives the fight after taunting Smasher the entire time. "Oh ho, I think the beast is angry."
During the fight i've got out of all ammo, and i got last 2 percents with bare fists. I landed my last hit on kneeled Smasher with bare fist, powered up in heavy attack, like in silly 80s movies :D
@@Ramos_Andy18 lol yeah heartbreaking the ending crushed me. David died a legend though. In my mind David got Lucy pregnant... And he lives on through them... It's feasible...
@@Korax0t0x No, he didn't. David had other priorities. You can't fault the guy for 1st getting hit because the fixer was running away or when he was carrying Lucy. Even when they were down he just didn't have anymore suppressents to keep control over his body.
Look, he's so cute in his 99% cybernetics state. Uhhhhh, such a big target for Widow Maker, I don't even need to aim to dispatch him in less than 10 seconds.
This is actually really awesome each ending and lifepath have an effect on your dialogue with this admittedly awesome villain. The dude's name is Adam Smasher, like who would have thought. Anyways I like all the different endings honestly. They all fit perfectly. I also love Adam Smasher's line where he's like "We'll meet again!" If you spare him, that's so neat.
Something I didn’t get about this game is why they made Adam Johnny’s arch enemy? That’s stupid imo. It was always Morgan Blackhand vs Adam Smasher. Adam didn’t give two shits about Johnny. I guess I can understand why Johnny sees it that way, but Adam really shouldn’t care.
I heard someone rationalize it by Johnny ego subconsciously removing Militech's Morgan Blackhand from his recollections of Arasaka Tower assault. But yeah, it is a bit jarring, Rogue or Smasher should have mentioned it at least.
the rogue ending is more likely the canon ending if you really think about it that ending totally complete Johnny's story by having him kill Adam Smasher ....having one last ride with rogue and having Johnny destroying the arasakas like he always wanted, and V finally becaming the Legend of night city like him and Jackie always wanted to be and V wouldnt want the alcedados to die for him specially Panam ....THAT is the ending that sound more canon to me and you got to see while Mr Bleu Eyes send you to assault the crystal palace he made a deal with V maybe he got a Cure for V Mr Bleu eyes is obviously powerful or V can find a Cure in the Palace there a many ways V can be cured with this ending so dont just write it off
@@Phenomatron i mean if i was David i would’ve done the same tbh. Hell naw i ain’t becoming a new construct and be an arasaka’s new lapdog choom. After what i went trough. That’s just like surrendering

Playing it like Doom Slayer requires the secret ending, constant double jump, and literally all the guns
DB-2 Satara. Accept no substitutes.
Exerts from the Final Boss Manual:
Choose your battle location in a challenging environment, preferably an enclosed area or a chase through a chaotic environment.
Leave a considerate amount of ammo, weapons, or emergency health equipment laying around. Be sure to acknowledge your opponent by taunting or simply talking to them in combat, even if you are losing.
For David and Rebecca
frick David and Rebecca this is for johnny
For David, Rebecca and all the Edgerunner crew.
And johnny
@@tylermochi2734 And Jackie as well.
@NateDog Oh yes, and Saul too (from the Albecaldos Nomad clan)
Before Edgerunners: This is for Johnny!
After Edgerunners: This is for David and Rebecca!
Finish him! For David and Rebecca!!
Who and who cares
Smasher wanted to die after this defeat. He knew Arisaka was never going to rebuild him back nor use his services again after his failure. He knew he would live out the rest of his (questionably short) life left in a state of permanent damage & pain.
Smasher knew what fate lies before him. Killing him is Smasher going out on his own terms.
Still felt good so I don't regret it.
@@TheAkuiBombBaby I'm not saying it doesn't feel good. But the fact that he knows that he's done for. That's why he goads you into killing him after the fight.
I doubt it, like yeah he failed once but he got beaten by fucking cyber jesus and before that he was cleaning house for over 60 years. Any gonk can see he's still useful, escpecially in the precarious situation that Arasaka is left in after the ending.
arasaka
@@muda1312Cyberpunk world isn't that bright. NUSA wiped Johnny when they could convince him to join them or some shit, but no. Any corpo would kill to have Smasher even in that state.
You should go to jail if you save that M.F.
Same if you don't kill voodoo boys.
@@popenderaza ++. they fcked V up 3 times and 2 times wanted to kill him
Who choose to punch Placide in the face?
Because I did!
@@frostytaco8598 yep.
@@frostytaco8598 Punching Placide is much more hard to resist than even knocking Royce out.
5:57 lmao he moved the screen up, so we couldnt see Saul's head getting smashed
@@fiawms yikes
In a lot of games the "kill/spare" options means nothing only dialogues changes, that for the player means only getting an achievement or see something little different.
Or maybe you simply want to role-play with high mortal principles or as infinite blood thirsty...
I think edgerunner did retroactively something almost unique.
You need to have loads of courage to forgive Adam and spare his life now, like killing him now matter because you are blinded by revenge.
In the game that choice can still means anything but now for the player that spare/kill matter and it's an heavy choice.
Revenge is a fools game that’s a true fact it sometimes solves everything sometimes it doesn’t and at the end it’s all a lie and makes you take your own life or sacrifice yourself to save everyone for the greater good
who's here after the end of Edgerunners?
Welp, definitely a lot of people, lol.
What what happened
If you don’t kill Smasher with either Johnny’s gun or Rebecca’s then there is something wrong with you
Well I did kill him recently with a Unity pistol, which if I remember right was Lucy's gun of choice, so how's that?
@@welkingunther5417 it’s ok but not great
What about the "sir John phallustiff"?
What’s wrong with that
@@saber4405 a what
That Was Revenge for David!!
And Rebecca!
Or anyone who directly or indirectly kill by Adam Smasher~
Yeah what what are you people talking about
After watching Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, lol gonna beat his sh!t in.
V: Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left!
Adam Smasher: Yes I have.
V: Look!
Adam Smasher: Just a flesh wound.
Monty python never gets old :)
Listen after Edgerunners, this next play through is for David
And Rebecca. Don't forget her.
Who are they
V proceeds forward and wants to spare Smasher
Smasher: We'll meet again
V: So you've chosen death
I love how whenever you say Johnny sends his regards. Adam doesn't even remember who he is. Because Johnny didn't meant shit to him. His rivalry was with Morgan Blackhand.
Smasher remembers Johnny, he collected his car and gun and kept them for decades as mementos
@@leonrussell9607 The TTRPG lore (which is confirmed to be what ACTUALLY happened and not Johnny's memories) shows that Smasher, while knowing who Johnny was, he truly didn't care about him a lot. In reality he barely looked at him and killed him without a word, so he could focus in Morgan. Also he isn't who collected his stuff, it was a fan of his. Probably all of it was stolen before 2077, because it was around 203X that they last talked about Johnny's possessions.
But yeah, Johnny in 2077 makes V believe that he was much more important and had a bigger role (other example is that the AHQ Bombing wasn't even his idea, it was Militech's).
@@leonrussell9607that wasn’t smasher, that was someone who works with smasher
In my story, Saul and Panam was there, at that moment seeing Adam standing over Saul I was thinking it was a decisive moment in being able interact to interrupt Adam in killing Saul. I kept pressing Aim and fire but nothing happened. Missed opportunity there to create a cool moment in for another outcome.
The one thing I always hated in rpgs is when you can't use your character's gear to impact the story, for example I could have used one my many air hypos to save Jackie or atleast keep him awake until we could get to Vick, in Saul's case quick hacks or the Sandesvistan operating system or just a really powerful gun could have saved Saul
@@d.n5287 Any gun possibly would've saved him tho,distracting smasher to aggro on you should be enough
@@d.n5287 we will get their one day when video are fully interactive and advanced. or just like what cdpr promised
Honestly so many missed opportunities to do something cool in this game.
@@d.n5287Jackie was pretty much constantly using air hypos during the Heist mission, they aren't miracle medicines.
For David, Jonny And most of all for Rebecca!
Who and who cares
I liked how he gets weaker as the fight goes on. Blew through almost all my ammo so I just went in swinging with my gorilla arms. It felt cool dancing around him beating him down while he was too slow to keep up. Did the Saka ending and the arena you fight in for that is cool with lots of destructible cover so we made a mess of the place.
Gorilla arms are so satisfying knocking dudes across the room with ease haha
I started with my gorilla arms
mantis blades ftw
For jonny, David and rebecca
Who are they
i thought this shit said adam sandler
Instead of Johnny Chubbs is taking over your mind and during the final blow you say "Its all in the hips!"
Little did you know, his new movie is a soulkiller.
Always finish that S.O.B. with Johnny's gun. That's full circle poetic justice.
That was for Rebecca and David
Who
Who
Bruh, he's talking about the characters Smasher killed in the anime
@@caiodreemurr7837 were joking
for that guy we liked or something
this is for rebecca AND DAVIIIID
Who are they
5:12
"Oh, word? Aiight then..."
LMAO
Reinstalling the game as we speak. Omw to start a new game just to kill Adam Smasher again to avenge Johnny, David, and Rebecca
I wish i could run this game so i could kill the bastard
Who are they and what did they do
We all know after edgerunners he died more times after edge runners in 2 weeks then he probably did through the entire games life time
Rogue and Saul instantly die to Smasher like chumps. Takemura survives the fight after taunting Smasher the entire time. "Oh ho, I think the beast is angry."
10:10 that one's for david ramirez
And Rebecca!
@@robbieking4070 AND DON’T FORGET JOHNNY!!
Who and what did they do
The amount of people that chose murder went up drastically after Edgerunners came out.
During the fight i've got out of all ammo, and i got last 2 percents with bare fists.
I landed my last hit on kneeled Smasher with bare fist, powered up in heavy attack, like in silly 80s movies :D
now we come back to this scene just to have revenge for killing david and rebecca
Who
@@USADroopyMeat1099 David and Rebecca are characters from the anime "Cyberpunk:Edge runners"
Watch it it's good
Anyone watching this after edgerunners?
yep im sad
@@Ramos_Andy18 lol yeah heartbreaking the ending crushed me. David died a legend though.
In my mind David got Lucy pregnant... And he lives on through them... It's feasible...
It was an amazing anime, depressing but amazing lol
bro the protagonist and the best girl so sad
What happened in edgerunners just saying
Fact that V just bodies Adam Smasher aftwr David got demolished by him is hilarious. V is like Yoriichi from Demon Slayer.
V is like Yoriichi David is like Muzan Adam is like DK Tanjiro
0:32 Here is why Smasher in the game is a joke, David would had won 200%
plot armor
Doesn't change the fact that David got LITERALLY destroyed vs Smasher...
No he wouldn't have lol
Yea no lmao.
@@Korax0t0x No, he didn't. David had other priorities. You can't fault the guy for 1st getting hit because the fixer was running away or when he was carrying Lucy. Even when they were down he just didn't have anymore suppressents to keep control over his body.
"For becca and David you hunk of scrap"
Yeah what are you talking about
Finishing off Adam without limbs is poetic to how he killed David
Who
Smasher: WE’LL MEET AGAIN
Johnny: no, no I don’t think we will
I fucking LOVE the final killing blow you make after that talk. Just satisfying
Me: Nah. I’ll spare him. I think he can change.
*After Edgerunners*
Me: THIS IS FOR BECCA!!!
FOR DAVID
Who and who cares
"This isn't over, we'll meet again!"
- So you have chosen death !
V was able to kill Adam because V had Quick Save and Quick Load feature and david didn't
After watching ''Cyberpunk Edgerunner'', I will never EVER consider sparring him on any playthrough.
i wanna kill him just like giorno did with diavolo... FOR INFINITY!
Why what did he do
@@USADroopyMeat1099 something I wont forgive..
@@samurai_riceboy88xd19 why won’t you forgive please tell me what happened
Looks like smasher is holding a lightsaber on the thumbnail
I mean he's literally just general grievous
That’s what he was going for. That’s a scene from SW lol
Lightsabers on Cyberpunk when?
Look, he's so cute in his 99% cybernetics state. Uhhhhh, such a big target for Widow Maker, I don't even need to aim to dispatch him in less than 10 seconds.
0:30 I love watching him dying 1 million times for killing my fav characters
Adam: THIS IS NOT THE END! WE'LL MEET AGAIN!!!
V: doubt it, the canon ending is you being dead.
Honestly the swords can be OP at times
The difficulty slider is even more OP.
5:58
So you dodge demonetization 🤑
This is actually really awesome each ending and lifepath have an effect on your dialogue with this admittedly awesome villain. The dude's name is Adam Smasher, like who would have thought. Anyways I like all the different endings honestly. They all fit perfectly.
I also love Adam Smasher's line where he's like "We'll meet again!" If you spare him, that's so neat.
It doesn't tho?
@@Rigby350wym?
Something I didn’t get about this game is why they made Adam Johnny’s arch enemy? That’s stupid imo. It was always Morgan Blackhand vs Adam Smasher. Adam didn’t give two shits about Johnny. I guess I can understand why Johnny sees it that way, but Adam really shouldn’t care.
they paid keannu and changed the story to fit him.....it stoped being cyberpunk and turned into the balad of johnny silverhand
I heard someone rationalize it by Johnny ego subconsciously removing Militech's Morgan Blackhand from his recollections of Arasaka Tower assault. But yeah, it is a bit jarring, Rogue or Smasher should have mentioned it at least.
@@reav3rtm I was thinking that too. Could be interesting if true.
I mean Adam doesn’t even know who the fuck Johnny is.
After watching edgerunners i agree with every comment that says it is pointless to spare him.
I like adam smasher I couldnt bring myself to kill him and seeing in edgerunner stomp on rebecca was absolutely hilarious
I like how the majority of us finished smasher pretty easily
how do you kno
:You took everything from me
Adam: I didn’t know you
Yeah what happened to you
the rogue ending is more likely the canon ending if you really think about it that ending totally complete Johnny's story by having him kill Adam Smasher ....having one last ride with rogue and having Johnny destroying the arasakas like he always wanted, and V finally becaming the Legend of night city like him and Jackie always wanted to be and V wouldnt want the alcedados to die for him specially Panam ....THAT is the ending that sound more canon to me and you got to see while Mr Bleu Eyes send you to assault the crystal palace he made a deal with V maybe he got a Cure for V Mr Bleu eyes is obviously powerful or V can find a Cure in the Palace there a many ways V can be cured with this ending so dont just write it off
So…
For Johnny, for Rebecca and for David
Come back here after seeing Cyberpunk : Edgerunner ......
instantly regretted sparing that son of a fdskfdsfds
What did they do
@@maj916 are you okay just saying
I doubt anyone is sparing him after what he did to David and Becca
Didn't watch Edgerunners before finishing the game, 5 bullets in the head after kill him XD
Now...I would just broke him in piece again and again...
Becca sure David literally could have became a construct like him and lived he just decided to mouth off...
@@Phenomatron i mean if i was David i would’ve done the same tbh. Hell naw i ain’t becoming a new construct and be an arasaka’s new lapdog choom. After what i went trough. That’s just like surrendering
Who
@@Phenomatron who
Glad you are active babyzone i love your TWD videos
>Spare Smasher
Yeah, after Edgerunners we'll be seeing even less of that.
This is how people feels after Edgerunners
What happened in edgerunners
@@USADroopyMeat1099 watch the anime cyberpunk: edgerunners , the anime serves as a prequel to the game and takes place about a year before the events of Cyberpunk 2077.
When Saul died I literally yelled out “NOOOOOOOO” and started going HAM on him
Yea man, he got straight curb stomped. I was like oh hell fucking no!
"my soul inserted with vital force
wonʼt spare what Iʼm hunting for"
after the anime there is no reason to spare him ever
sees title: Spare Adam Smasher VS Kill Adam...
me: SPARE???? why would you spare hIM????
Because why not and why do you care
Smasher: "Why do I hear boss music when I'm the boss?"
