tecnically smasher has a sandevistan on his own... this is a equipment that has variants soo, maybe he could use less often, than david builds but the leak of one is shit badly, cause in cyberpunk universe he should have one
That'd be such a bold (and aggravating) decision for a final boss of any game that features an OP time slow ability. Just take away the ability the player had been using as a crutch through every hard encounter up until then because the boss is truly on your level, they can do the same shit so it just cancels out. Like no mf, you are playing this fight at normal speed the whole time. You're not slick.
I kind of dislike powers not working on boss fights, it often creates balance issues, where a power useless because it generally does not work on the hardest fights in the game. However making smasher stronger and faster so he is terrifying would work.
some cops have it, you can see them jumping around super fast, I think it them slowing time and moving through it. that effect might have looked weird on smasher model. The Anime was made after the game was almost finished and they had playable versions of the game at their studio.
@@kinglycrimson a ton of enemies have them, as well as other powerful cybernetics. The problem is they used to be super rare and kinda limited to people you're not supposed to fight, and Oda but he doesn't use his well. In updates since launch they seem to have tweaked the spawn rate of borged up enemies, I guess they realised players are better st fighting than they gave credit, which makes night cities rank and file more fun, but the boss fights never got the same treatment. Regardless of 'lore' Smasher should have been given all the bullshit cyberpowers the game has access too, the game has like two moments to set him up as this terrifying villain and this is one of them.
@@ZaimGamePlay Nah it just wouldn't be fair if the sandevistans in the game just completely and utterly freeze people like they did in the anime and it would also be unfair if Adam got to use a sandevistan and just blitz the shit out of you if your build didn't have one.

That's why they wanted him back but David told both Smasher and Arasaka to f*@k off. He wasn't going to accomplish their dreams. David did it and went out his own way ..
That's like the perfect life imo, achieve whatever you want to do and when that's done, finish life on your own terms. However my dreams are yet to be met so unfortunately I'll have to live longer
@@alphonsustan5802 yes...thats why I said it's under David's terms not even his mom would've wanted him being a lab rat..he would of ended up being a merc like Smasher perhaps
But the thing is he accomplished their dreams, but far too literally. David's mom wanted a better life for her son, not for him to die a "legend." Regardless of where he ended up more than anything she wanted her son to be able to not have to worry about money and surviving like she did. And Lucy wanted to go to the moon to escape the world, to hide, but after David her dream changed to be with him, he became her moon. David inadvertently was selfish and made only his own dreams come true because he was too caught up in the future.
I mean, aside from Smasher canonically being able to match David's speed with his own Sandevistan Mk 4, doesn't this canonically mean the cyberskeleton actually made David weaker in 1v1 given that it crippled him in the latter half of the fight once Smasher removed the anti-grav that made it possible for the skeleton to even move? I mean, clearly it's superior for taking on literal hundreds of enemies and vehicles, but it has a glaring weakness against a singular well-built opponent.
if David wasn't out of suppressants and wasn't exhausted after fighting all the way to reach Arasaka tower, I'm certain he'd have been able to overpower Adam.
@@ashenzenden This. That gravity area power of his is a gigantic counter against Adam. Adam was barely even able to move when he was faced with it. But that whole cyberpsycho thing i feel was a huge part in the anime because they needed a "why and how" for David's death.
@@ashenzenden nah. David wasn’t going psycho in the fight. He was exhausted because he got pushed to lvl 100(the new gravity gear) and fought a lvl 200 boss with no potions. Simply being in that gear took a toll on him and he was already exhausted from the extra bs gear he normally keeps on himself cuz of sentimental value. He wasn’t beating smasher as simple as that. Give him 5 years he could. But then he’d meet V and they easily becoming legends in night city.
V’s cyberpsychosis is just Johny so he can technically just add as much tech to his body without ever going completely crazy but he will lose his identity.
That's not true. V isn't immune to cyber psychosis or anything, the games just don't integrate cyber psychosis because it wouldn't be as fun to limit the player's ability to slap every possible augment onto every possible extremity. If you want a lore reason for why V can get completely borged out without worrying, consider the fact that you're dying anyway. V will upgrade as much as they possibly can just for the possibility that they can manage to go farther and find a way to get the biochip out. Cyber psychosis might kill you eventually, but the biochip is killing you way sooner, so you might as well go all out until then.
@@1Seanmb The canon reason V can't go cyberpsycho is because of his humanity stat which he gets from empathy. This was said by the game creators, as it's also why David had such a high tolerance for augmentation. V's empathy only stayed as high as it was because of Johnny, while David's was around 8 empathy and 80 humanity. It's really weird but they basically just talked about how it works lmfao
after V got free from Jonny in ending, V was still fine with many cyber cyberwares. V was going to artificial satellite of Arasaka in Space for next fighting
With the mass amount of people who want Adam Smasher to be buffed a godly amount since watching edgerunners, I wouldn't be surprised if CDPR makes Smasher a badass in the next update.
Since the start of the game, his deadliness has been downgraded in his bossfight by the fact that you see people constantly one-shotting Phase 1, and some builds one-shot him outright. He needs a buff anyways to make him feel deadlier in general.
I doubt it, too many crybaby game urinalists will moan about the game being too hard, so it gets nerfed afterwards anyways. We would've needed the old CDPR who made TW3 and didn't give a damn about the bloody urinalists crying that death march is too hard. Now, we have Corpo trash CDPR who is more concerned about political correctness and hiring "the right kind of people" than making good games by hiring talented people. Sad that they went to the sh1tter that fast, after only a mere handful of games.
@@Amokhunter Difficulty settings are a thing. For people who aren't that good at the game, just go on easy mode, and it's OK. There is nothing wrong with defeating the final boss without dozens of attempts and hours of grinding. But the challenge should be there for people craving a challenge and feel like a badass.
I think if you use the sandevistan against smasher, everything should be slow but smasher and V move at the same speed. Like how in Dishonored when you freeze time against Daud everything is frozen except for Daud and Corvo since they both posses those abilities.
I loved that fight. It's been a looong time but i still remember it became a lot like chess: "do i use it now to get advantage or save it for defense"? It's the only fight i actually struggled with the whole game...(music box pricks non withstanding).
In game he is agile as a sack of potatoes and, looks like, same smart. According lore, he spent more than 70 years in battles, modified whole body for war and definitely should fight far better
Sadly even if he does survive, he would probably go cyberpsycho. His death was predetermined from the start, the second he implanted that spine implant (I remember it's sandevistan lmao)
@@phobetor660 I just call it sandy. He wasn’t going to die from that. At least not that early. Like David said he was special. Imagine if David actually had good gear and not gear made from sentimental value such as Maine bs rockets that needed bigger arms to even carry with him. He never went psycho just drifted in between. Even in his fight against Adam he wasn’t psycho. And that’s without any meds plus enduring all the stacked side effects of using all of that gear. Because remember the doc said when all his meds run out he’d have to face all of the side effects he put to the side using the meds.
Add in an immunity to Cyberware Malfunction and I'm in. Tired of the tried and true on him being CM and insert Comrades Hammer to Forehead. Not even a fight when you hit him with it once.
I really loved this version of the Sun ending too - Rogue's still around and, though they still leave, the Aldecaldos don't lose nearly as much as in the Star ending.
Yeah, but they didn’t make to leave NC. They don’t have the tech and the economic state to make it completely. The Star ending is simbolic and make V have a new start, with no Nighcity in it, like Jackie always wanted.
I know 2077 Adam Smasher is an okay boss at best, but I wouldn't mind seeing a buff in his AI to a fearful amount so he has that dark boss energy. A truly horrifying experience. With the events of Edgerunners being canon, V is truly a powerhouse based on determination. They killed Night City's seemingly impenetrable monster which very few have faced, let alone survive encounters in order to get Johnny Silverhand out of his head.
Honestly, the biggest problem is his health being too low. And getting knocked off all the time. His attack patterns are pretty cool actually, is just that you can beat Smasher so easily that you don't even have time to notice. They should boost his life, and maybe make him jump around with sandevistan like MaxTac does.
@@JM-tj5qm They should not boost his life, he has more than enough health. The only reason he seems to die so fast in videos like this is because they are using very broken min-max builds but if you are doing a normal playthrough he can take like 5-10 minutes to kill.
They should've made Adam Smasher this unstoppable enemy you face multiple times like in resident evil games. Just barely surviving each time and getting away. Then you fight him in a mech suit too, or he's just an optional end game boss that's hard af.
Oh eee boi, even the last shot was from Rebecca's shotgun. It seems that after the show everyone will go buy the game to kill Smahser. Nice sales boost I reckon.
3:04 *“This one is for David and Rebecca, you sob!”* By the way, according to the lore, Adam Smasher should also have the rudimentary sandavistan, that's why slowing down the time technically shouldn't have any effect on him! They should fix it in the 1.7 patch!
I’d like to imagine that something happened between Edgerunners and 2077 that causes Smasher to be permanently hindered. Like somebody managed to fight Smasher in his prime, crunch his Sandevistan beyond repair, corrupt his cybernetics so he has to slow down, destroy parts about him that are nigh irreplaceable, etc. Whatever happened, it allowed V to be able to fight and defeat him.
All David cyberware are listed on the wiki and we can clearly see that Gorilla Arms weren't the ones he uses. He and Maine used Projectile Launch System arms...
it would be really cool if they did a new campaign or sidequest with David's story, putting the characters and moments from the anime inside the game, here's an idea for a great fan service
Would be dope if on Hard and Very Hard Smasher had counters to Hacking and Sandies like seen in the anime. Just imagine if you go hyper speed and a second or so later he joins you each time, and seeing that demon overlay when in hacking giving him huge resistance to load time and damage.
The adam smasher was without the sandevistam because they were improving it, he would probably put the original and ended up stealing it or I don't know
Would've been awesome if Smasher either activated his own Sandevistan whenever you activate yours, making clear off the bat that you're up against someone in your weight class, or had a move in his set where he activates it on his own initiative, forcing you to activate your own in time to fend him off
Imagine if they rework and update Smasher's AI..so that if you use the sandevistan...he will use it too and while you both are using sandevistan he becomes more aggressive and deals WAY MORE damage..so you gotta think quick and/or avoid his attacks
Ur telling me V jus fired up the sandevistan 7 times!!! He’s crazyyy!!! Didn’t even bother worrying about using immunoblockers too! He’s the true cyberpunk 🔥
Yup, V pretty much has full on cyberpsychosis immunity He/she can be fully equipped with all legendary cyberware and it doesn’t affect him/her in the slightest
Listening to edgerunner's ending theme while watching this video made it satisfying. Kinda want to have a mod to play out the song while fighting this boss and have 'Regards from David' as an alternate line.
I would love to get an Edgerunners story DLC where we get to play as david and hang out with Lucy and do jobs with the gang. If you guys want CDPR to keep making content for this game, we gotta get the game to explode. It's doing well from the anime's success, but it needs to keep going if we want CDPR to see that they are sitting on gold if they keep working on this game. There is so much potential, and I don't want to see it lost because they got put on blast because everyone rushed them to put the game out early
@@youtubeaccount5904 and the fact they said it'd be THE next gta 5? had like 7+ years to work on it and LET the people rush them? fuck that, that shits on cdpr
He needs a significant speed boost, buff to health, CC resistance that gets stronger every time it's used on him, and projectiles that track better. Then the boss fight will be good
If you want it to be a True David build, limit yourself to the Lexington and the Yukimura as far as guns go, since those are the only guns we ever see David use.
Also, didn't he get the Projectile Launcher System on his arms too when he got chromed up like Maine? Too bad you can't really have that with the Gorilla arms at the same time.
surprised the modding community hasnt tried giving adam a sandevistan yet tbf, simple fix for all those wanting it I'd imagine (and in no way am I saying coding this is easy btw, but in concept shouldnt take up much file size... I think)
I ground to get to level 50 because I was worried about this boss fight, and then... anticlimactic. I hope they patch it to scale difficulty to the character level to make it more challenging.
Could you imagine how hard it would be if Adam Smasher had a Sandevistan. It would make him even scarier, too. Imagine fighting Adam Smasher and he dodges your bullets in the blink of an eye, then he appears right behind you.
I find it interesting that people use gorilla arms for the David build I guess its so he can punch but I would do it a bit differently. (spoilers) I would use the projectile launch system first of all since he got maine's and after the timeskip he was perfectly comfortable using guns so you don't lose a primary attack
Anime Smasher: Has a Sandy also and is better in it than David. In-game Smasher: No sandy, and it makes the fight trivial if V uses one. I just wish CDPR would commit more resources to making the content align and get where it should be a bit quicker.
it would be awesome if you've completed all the sidequests for the anime you have the option to say "David Martinez sends his regards" instead of "Silverhand sends his regards"
everybodies commenting about how smasher shouldve used a sandesvitan which i do think itd be fitting but even in the anime he calls the implant rudimentary and the only reason he used it was cause he knew david had one and itd help him. Would be cool if adam used different implants based on what you were packing
People are saying Adam should have Sandevistan when they forget the anime was out a year after the game. People also forget V is a full-on legend and is souped up with The Relic. And had better implants than David whom was using mostly prototypes. And lest we forget that V is completely immune from cyberpsychosis. Thats why he can use time dilation multiple times without the drawbacks.
i like how in edgerunners, david is literally half tank, and got absolutely smoked by smasher, but in this he doesn’t do a single thing and he forgot his sandevistan at home
After watching edgerunners and playing again, i feel like they totally failed the main story of the game, trying to focus on silverhand and not "surviving and climbing night city". tbh this should be just ONE of the game's routes and not THE ONLY ONE, i want to see V getting more friends and maybe having a gang like David, more focus on cyberphysicosis and how devastating night city can be with someone, not just following silverhand's path....

In-game Smasher sounds more like an angry brute while anime Smasher sounds like a professional and ruthless terminator
Smasher in anime: A rudimentary implant..
Smasher in the game:
The redemption we needed rip David I hope he somehow survived… i don’t cry often but them 10 episodes got me hooked and sad I cried
Sadly even if he does survive, he would probably go cyberpsycho. His death was predetermined from the start, the second he implanted that spine implant (I remember it's sandevistan lmao)
there is a drink in the Afterlife named after him and you can get the jacket from the mustache driver guy
so that confirmed that he is dead
@@MazdaTiger oh fr? Imma have to cop that jacket
@@phobetor660 I just call it sandy.
He wasn’t going to die from that. At least not that early. Like David said he was special. Imagine if David actually had good gear and not gear made from sentimental value such as Maine bs rockets that needed bigger arms to even carry with him.
He never went psycho just drifted in between. Even in his fight against Adam he wasn’t psycho. And that’s without any meds plus enduring all the stacked side effects of using all of that gear. Because remember the doc said when all his meds run out he’d have to face all of the side effects he put to the side using the meds.
@@ThyBait true, still got shot in the face lol
After watching the anime one thing would be nice to see is a mod where Adam doesn’t get affected by slow motion
Bro stfu the show came out after the game stop being entitled
Give him a gun to
No point in him not using 1 when he has many already & his manipulator/finger are not being used for anything
Add in an immunity to Cyberware Malfunction and I'm in. Tired of the tried and true on him being CM and insert Comrades Hammer to Forehead. Not even a fight when you hit him with it once.
I really loved this version of the Sun ending too - Rogue's still around and, though they still leave, the Aldecaldos don't lose nearly as much as in the Star ending.
Yeah, but they didn’t make to leave NC. They don’t have the tech and the economic state to make it completely. The Star ending is simbolic and make V have a new start, with no Nighcity in it, like Jackie always wanted.
"Regards from Johnny...And David."
and Rebecca
and falcos arm
Sandevistan+punches is like dio's Zawarudo hahahaha
its just "the world" they say zawarudo bc theyre japanese and cant speak english
@@thecosmiccowboy889 Everyone knows that, but its just funnier to write it like how they say it.
I know 2077 Adam Smasher is an okay boss at best, but I wouldn't mind seeing a buff in his AI to a fearful amount so he has that dark boss energy. A truly horrifying experience.
With the events of Edgerunners being canon, V is truly a powerhouse based on determination. They killed Night City's seemingly impenetrable monster which very few have faced, let alone survive encounters in order to get Johnny Silverhand out of his head.
Honestly, the biggest problem is his health being too low. And getting knocked off all the time. His attack patterns are pretty cool actually, is just that you can beat Smasher so easily that you don't even have time to notice. They should boost his life, and maybe make him jump around with sandevistan like MaxTac does.
@@JM-tj5qm They should not boost his life, he has more than enough health. The only reason he seems to die so fast in videos like this is because they are using very broken min-max builds but if you are doing a normal playthrough he can take like 5-10 minutes to kill.
Show made me cry at the end
Thanks man, after finishing Edgerunners I needed this
They should've made Adam Smasher this unstoppable enemy you face multiple times like in resident evil games. Just barely surviving each time and getting away. Then you fight him in a mech suit too, or he's just an optional end game boss that's hard af.
Oh eee boi, even the last shot was from Rebecca's shotgun. It seems that after the show everyone will go buy the game to kill Smahser. Nice sales boost I reckon.
Press F to *"Regards from Rebecca"*
I don't know why but I felt a sense of happiness in seeing this happen.
Me too (^_^)
We all did.
We all did and it felt soooo fucking good seeing this piece of shit dies
david could've easily no diffed adam if he didn't enter that damned cyber suit
This. . . *Is also for Rebbecca.*
A showdown between Oda and david would be nice
The voice actor for Adam Smasher was 10/10
3:04
*“This one is for David and Rebecca, you sob!”*
By the way, according to the lore, Adam Smasher should also have the rudimentary sandavistan, that's why slowing down the time technically shouldn't have any effect on him! They should fix it in the 1.7 patch!
V: Punching the hell out of smasher
Smasher: 🗿🗿🗿
I’d like to imagine that something happened between Edgerunners and 2077 that causes Smasher to be permanently hindered. Like somebody managed to fight Smasher in his prime, crunch his Sandevistan beyond repair, corrupt his cybernetics so he has to slow down, destroy parts about him that are nigh irreplaceable, etc. Whatever happened, it allowed V to be able to fight and defeat him.
We need a DLC about young Johnny and Smasher before nuke (some sort of old memories). It would be epic
All David cyberware are listed on the wiki and we can clearly see that Gorilla Arms weren't the ones he uses. He and Maine used Projectile Launch System arms...
"This is from Rebecca!"
it would be really cool if they did a new campaign or sidequest with David's story, putting the characters and moments from the anime inside the game, here's an idea for a great fan service
V stands for Vengeance, time for revenge.
Adam Smasher: *smashed lolli*
Every player who watched edgerunners: smash the Smasher! ✊✊✊✊
Adam Smasher: oh fu- 💀
That's why you don't need to make an anime about games like cyberpunk 💀
smashed rebecca
Me: now respects smasher
Bro lost the Sandevistan like ryuuk lost the death note, careless, think it won't matter
Would be dope if on Hard and Very Hard Smasher had counters to Hacking and Sandies like seen in the anime. Just imagine if you go hyper speed and a second or so later he joins you each time, and seeing that demon overlay when in hacking giving him huge resistance to load time and damage.
The adam smasher was without the sandevistam because they were improving it, he would probably put the original and ended up stealing it or I don't know
Would've been awesome if Smasher either activated his own Sandevistan whenever you activate yours, making clear off the bat that you're up against someone in your weight class, or had a move in his set where he activates it on his own initiative, forcing you to activate your own in time to fend him off
Smasher left his rudimentary implant at home.
Adam not smashing shit in this fight he just got cooked💀
0:35 why da fuck this so funny, the way he punch adam in slow motion looks cartoon and goofy
Imagine if they rework and update Smasher's AI..so that if you use the sandevistan...he will use it too and while you both are using sandevistan he becomes more aggressive and deals WAY MORE damage..so you gotta think quick and/or avoid his attacks
Regards from David
Ur telling me V jus fired up the sandevistan 7 times!!! He’s crazyyy!!! Didn’t even bother worrying about using immunoblockers too! He’s the true cyberpunk 🔥
Yup, V pretty much has full on cyberpsychosis immunity
He/she can be fully equipped with all legendary cyberware and it doesn’t affect him/her in the slightest
goes to show that V's a fokin legend
i guess since fighting david, smasher decided to get rid of most of his "rudamentary" implants
Listening to edgerunner's ending theme while watching this video made it satisfying. Kinda want to have a mod to play out the song while fighting this boss and have 'Regards from David' as an alternate line.
But V doesn't even know who David is, as far as i know.
V, who isnt suffering from cyberpsicosis, needs 2 minutes to defeat smasher. No wonder david doesnt stand a chnace againts this montrosity.
"Regard for Rebbeca"
POV: if V ever fought David.
Whatever Choom like I give a shit....
: ')
Wow for once I never heard someone say "choom" like they're actually David. What a blessing
I would love to get an Edgerunners story DLC where we get to play as david and hang out with Lucy and do jobs with the gang. If you guys want CDPR to keep making content for this game, we gotta get the game to explode. It's doing well from the anime's success, but it needs to keep going if we want CDPR to see that they are sitting on gold if they keep working on this game. There is so much potential, and I don't want to see it lost because they got put on blast because everyone rushed them to put the game out early
Pretty sure they said 2077 gets one dlc and then they're moving onto a Witcher game
They're already working on the sequel.
Also, cooked fucking take pinning the blame on people rushing CDPR.
@@youtubeaccount5904 and the fact they said it'd be THE next gta 5? had like 7+ years to work on it and LET the people rush them? fuck that, that shits on cdpr
He needs a significant speed boost, buff to health, CC resistance that gets stronger every time it's used on him, and projectiles that track better. Then the boss fight will be good
I’m hoping in a future they make this boss fight at least a tiny bit more interesting
Love the fact that you're also doing the (Don't Fear) The Reaper version.
Beautiful.
If you want it to be a True David build, limit yourself to the Lexington and the Yukimura as far as guns go, since those are the only guns we ever see David use.
Also, didn't he get the Projectile Launcher System on his arms too when he got chromed up like Maine? Too bad you can't really have that with the Gorilla arms at the same time.
@@SenseofNoneYT I dunno if that's what it's specifically called, but probably. Tis indeed a shame.
This is such a "standing here, I realize" moment
It’d be sick if a rework gives Smasher a copy of your V’s build on top of some of his baseline stuff so he could counter you with your own move
Netrunners are dead then I guess...
Thank you for your honor,the Edgerunners anime watchers will always remember this
surprised the modding community hasnt tried giving adam a sandevistan yet tbf, simple fix for all those wanting it I'd imagine (and in no way am I saying coding this is easy btw, but in concept shouldnt take up much file size... I think)
Give a minute, RedMod just came out a few weeks ago
“Reality can be whatever I want”
- Thanos
I ground to get to level 50 because I was worried about this boss fight, and then... anticlimactic. I hope they patch it to scale difficulty to the character level to make it more challenging.
V is just god in this universe lol.
For David ❤
That's for Rebecca
Could you imagine how hard it would be if Adam Smasher had a Sandevistan. It would make him even scarier, too. Imagine fighting Adam Smasher and he dodges your bullets in the blink of an eye, then he appears right behind you.
They should have a setting where if you activate the Sandevistan, yoh leave afterimages while moving like in the anime.
I find it interesting that people use gorilla arms for the David build I guess its so he can punch but I would do it a bit differently. (spoilers)
I would use the projectile launch system first of all since he got maine's and after the timeskip he was perfectly comfortable using guns so you don't lose a primary attack
If you're doing a proper "David build" you would use the PLS, people just don't use it because even the legendary version is dogshit.
killing david smasher before the series was just another mission
after the series, killing david smasher will become something personal
Anime Smasher: Has a Sandy also and is better in it than David.
In-game Smasher: No sandy, and it makes the fight trivial if V uses one.
I just wish CDPR would commit more resources to making the content align and get where it should be a bit quicker.
i got my get back on adam bitcher after edgerunners
They nerfed Smasher so hard in the game.
V with Mantis Blade + Berserk Cyberware = All Night city is a joke
it would be awesome if you've completed all the sidequests for the anime you have the option to say "David Martinez sends his regards" instead of "Silverhand sends his regards"
everybodies commenting about how smasher shouldve used a sandesvitan which i do think itd be fitting but even in the anime he calls the implant rudimentary and the only reason he used it was cause he knew david had one and itd help him. Would be cool if adam used different implants based on what you were packing
People are saying Adam should have Sandevistan when they forget the anime was out a year after the game.
People also forget V is a full-on legend and is souped up with The Relic. And had better implants than David whom was using mostly prototypes. And lest we forget that V is completely immune from cyberpsychosis. Thats why he can use time dilation multiple times without the drawbacks.
Yeah David was trying to be on par with legends and in the end kinda got there. V was right with the best
*sigh*... if only David used only his Sandevistan he probably ends up kicking Adam ass like this
Its Raiden vs Armstrong but in a different game
Adam Smasher: Devs why do you torture me so, first John Wick then David?!
Reminds me of the time I killed Gunther Hermann.
Ah, the infamous Laputan Machine...
Adam Smasher removed his Sandy because it was a "Rudimentary Implant" Well, whose laughing now Smasher?
Wher is cyberskeleton???
V speaking to david in the afterlife: "Skill issue, kid."
Just Guts? where is Rebecca's GUTS?
Bruh
i like how in edgerunners, david is literally half tank, and got absolutely smoked by smasher, but in this he doesn’t do a single thing and he forgot his sandevistan at home
Shame you cant have the handconnon as well
If David didn't get the cyber skeleton
After watching edgerunners and playing again, i feel like they totally failed the main story of the game, trying to focus on silverhand and not "surviving and climbing night city". tbh this should be just ONE of the game's routes and not THE ONLY ONE, i want to see V getting more friends and maybe having a gang like David, more focus on cyberphysicosis and how devastating night city can be with someone, not just following silverhand's path....
I was waiting for a similar vidos, I was looking for it, and now it's here, I can fully enjoy the revenge for my character!
In conclusion, David lost due to skill issue.
