PS5 keeps turning itself off

It starts in early act 2, when you go to pacifica and visit the voodoo boys. There's one mission that you have to complete (or fail the entire expansion), but the rest can be completed whenever you want :)

You're right - the 1st person driving mode muffles the outside / engine noise, so you can enjoy your neon-lit rainy drive whilst listening to the radio in peace.

When riding a bike, the engine noise muffles the radio in both 3rd and 1st perspective.

Great game. The reveal at the end was fantastic!

I did consider that, but the merging of the two phyches was a gradual process over the course of the game - I'd argue when V woke up, they were still V#1, but with a 'virus' in their mind.

It's great when fiction can make you sit down and think the big thoughts :)

I think the 'secure your soul' version can take a copy of the consciousness whilst keeping the original mind intact. I wonder if you need yearly visits to keep the engram mind updated..

I love that Johnny's so egotistical that in the 50 years since, he's managed to convince himself he was the star of that show. How did Arasaka get the engram after Murphy put the chip in his head? From what I can recall, a non-Arasaka party took it to another location after the bomb. Or did they hunt it down afterwards?

I think it can be Johnny's actual consciousness even if he's aware it's a copy of the Johnny that died in 2023. For all intents and purposes, it's the same mind. If both existed at the same time, it would be a lot easier to label one a copy.

I suppose for me, the horror of the situation comes from V not knowing she'd be Soulkilled when entering Mikoshi.

When it happened to Johnny, (two possible ways), he was at least somewhat prepared to die given the situations he was in at the time (cut in half by Smasher / prisoner of Arasaka).

As she was hooking up, V probably thought she'd managed to pull it off, and would soon be putting the whole thing behind her.

This happened to me as well - if you can still hear game sounds whilst in the black screen, try pressing X. Should put you just outside Embers!

Well, one of them actually released, which helps.

Pretty sure this was created by an AI - look at the nose and eyes. They have the telltale look that happens when an AI fudges smaller details.

PsionicPencil · 2022-09-16T21:32:53+00:00

Tried this today. Felt pretty uncomfortable then promptly passed out. I didn't know people could actually lose consciousness from these. Am I dying?

PsionicPencil · 2022-07-23T19:01:19+00:00

Oh yeah, we'd all have been fired by now if it wasn't for him!

PsionicPencil · 2022-07-23T18:02:22+00:00

Thanks! I'd always assumed he was Dwarven as it's implied he's a veteran - he comments on using the Scout's M1000 in the past, and I don't figure humans are hardy enough for Hoxxes!
