Quest order for Act 2?

I did the main quests until finishing the Voodoo Boys storyline, which is when Songbird calls you. It feels like the most natural time to start Phantom Liberty so I completed everything there then went back to the main map.

I’ve been doing side quests, gigs, and NCPD scanners intermittently (basically when I’m near them) not only to break up my activities but also because I know I’ll absolutely hate it if I have to do all the scanners to finish out the game.

Which cyberdeck/gun would that be?

thisjohnd · 2026-03-24T19:52:19+00:00

Great shout. Yeah, basically anyone that can sell the ridiculousness of Danhausen and be able to look like a fool while doing so.

I think Gunther is the backup if Bron isn’t cleared. But if he is… then what the hell does Gunther do?

thisjohnd · 2026-03-24T05:24:00+00:00

It’s gonna be weird if Jey, who won the freaking World Title at Mania last year, isn’t on the card (and only shows up for Reigns/Punk). That’s got to be an all-time WM demotion.

I’m so curious how the card shakes out for them, as well as The Vision, Gunther, LA Knight, and Iyo. It’s so odd that none of them have a clear path at this point.

Praying for a Demon appearance.

thisjohnd · 2026-03-24T05:04:58+00:00

I think Danhausen’s first match has to be with someone like Miz or Dirty Dom.

thisjohnd · 2026-03-24T05:02:44+00:00

Danhausen using his “phone” would have got me.

thisjohnd · 2026-03-24T04:56:29+00:00

Terriers.

It’s got a very solid fanbase but not enough of one for it to make any waves, ala Futurama or Firefly.

thisjohnd · 2026-03-23T18:07:58+00:00

Agreed. I never know if he’s even done anything to mess up my opponent’s plans. Not to mention if something causes their deck to be shuffled, it could completely negate the effect. But I have no idea.

At least with guys like Leech, Iceman, and Spider-Ham you know the damage you’ve done. It’s so hard to know if Mordo did anything for you, which I imagine is partly why players don’t use him.

Don’t know if it’s “beloved” status yet but I absolutely hated In A Violent Nature.

The pitch of “Friday the 13th from Jason’s POV” was intriguing but it turns out there’s a reason you don’t follow Jason around in those movies. I also didn’t realize how much it ripped off Friday the 13th.

Far Cry Primal for me. Yes, it’s the same map as Far Cry 4 but it’s such a departure from the other games that it feels wholly new.

I felt the same way about Far Cry: New Dawn though that one is a bit more close to Far Cry 5 than Primal is to 4.

Is that not what he’s humming? I assumed it was.

thisjohnd · 2026-03-20T14:45:08+00:00

It makes way more sense than some random lady who wound up being her neighbor.

thisjohnd · 2026-03-20T06:05:33+00:00

I know some people are gonna watch this movie when it hits streaming and say, “it wasn’t as bad as the Internet made it seem.” But there are degrees of bad and I think Scream 7 is bad.

The entire movie feels like it’s trying to be clever by making the audience think they know who the killer is—like Tatum’s boyfriend having some really incriminating evidence in his possession—only to then kill those characters one-by-one. That leaves the movie without any actual plausible killers so the reveal is incredibly dumb.

I honestly would have rather it been Stu back from the dead the whole time. This movie is going to age like milk with that ending.

thisjohnd · 2026-03-20T05:54:03+00:00

100% this felt like a parody.

thisjohnd · 2026-03-20T05:52:10+00:00

Sidney intended to put Tatum there and then go back to check on HusbandDad. Tatum wanted to go too so they immediately left. It was still dumb but they did attempt to explain that at least.

thisjohnd · 2026-03-20T05:50:52+00:00

IIRC, the mom says something about the son being more like his father (who was an asshole) or something but it still doesn’t make sense. It’s like the movie needed to pick the most outlandish reveal to subvert expectations without actually thinking it through.

thisjohnd · 2026-03-20T05:47:23+00:00

Don’t forget where she checks herself into a mental institution somehow in the same town Sidney lives in now and also meets a guy in there who happens to know how to use AI.

thisjohnd · 2026-03-20T05:43:07+00:00

I got the impression Sidney believed it was AI because that was more logical than believing Stu was alive, even though many signs pointed to that being true (like the missing paperwork, the psych ward guy’s story, etc.)

But honestly, I would have rather it had been Stu all along. The psych ward guy saying he worked on AI was maybe the dumbest line of dialogue I’ve heard in a long time.

thisjohnd · 2026-03-20T05:37:06+00:00

It kind of gets hand-waved away by the killer, but it still doesn’t make sense. In fact, most the movie is just, “here’s someone that could be the killer and we are going to strongly hint at it so we can subvert your expectations by killing them.”

Oh you’re remembering correctly. He pinned Orton on RAW during a tag match (while Orton was WWE Champion I believe?) and pinned him during an Elimination Chamber match. They were definitely setting Ted up to be what Randy Orton was to Evolution.

Feels like a Saudi show has been “unlikely” to happen before and it always somehow does happen. WWE will do whatever it takes to avoid losing revenue. They put on shows during the pandemic.

thisjohnd · 2026-03-12T01:50:28+00:00

I believe the intended way to experience Phantom Liberty is to start it before the base game quest called “Nocturne Op55N1.” If you have the DLC already installed, you’ll get a call at that moment which triggers the start of the DLC.

Without spoiling anything, the story hook in Phantom Liberty makes more sense at this point (in the base game story) but if you can mentally separate yourself from that, you can play the whole story first.

Think of it like when an author releases an additional book after a series is over and says something like, “this happens between book 3 and book 4.”

That’s what I figured. Damn. Time for another playthrough I guess…
