*V shoots himself* 20 damage. "God damn it!" *fires 20 more shots*
Laughed more than I thought I would at that comment 😄
jajajaja. come back when you've gotten the "Headshot" perk
I liked this comment cos I was the 100th
HAHA nice!
I have 4000 armor so I’m pretty sure I could take 800 shots
That's Cyberpunk for you guys. Protagonist changes, people around him changes but the world doesn't. Cyberpunk is a warning, not a goal. It's meant to be depressing.
ill be dead by then
@@trillone7077 my guy, me too. But my children won't so..
@@pawe1721 u choose to have children or not
@@trillone7077 we´re already in the middle of it...
The Cyberpunk world is where we're headed, minus the cool implants. A dying world, with everyone left trying to make a buck before the last human gasps their last breath. Nothing left but cockroaches and radiation. There are no happy endings here. Cling to those you love, try to live your last days with them, then die. That's the future.
I think the Panam ending is best for StreetKid V he goes through a character arc from wanting to be a “Legend” to realizing Love and Family are more important and finally leaves Night City behind
I also really like it for Nomad V. He abandoned his clan and lives on his own, just constantly doing wetwork and going through the motions alone. Until he gets stuck with Johnny, which sucks for him bc he's used to being alone and now he has no choice but to cooperate with someone. Yet things come full circle when he meets Panam and he finds a new clan, a new family.
This right here 👏🏻 🤙🏻💪🏻🔥
i personally think for the nomad play through that that ending would fit. he finds family and love but he still has to die. the path of glory ending at least hints that theres a better possibility at finding a way to fix V (and since you can technically romance panam in any play style) and that means V can still meet up with panam or any love interest in the game after the last heist.
That's what happened to me.
Same I went with that my first go too
Goodbye V, and never stop fightin' Saddest ending ever
"I guess I hoped for a happier ending.. for everyone involved.." "For folks like us...? Wrong city.. wrong people"
@@tone0711 Fuck. The best ending is with Panam
blaze of glory, empty promise, vague dream, or simply give up
IT'S LITERALLY THE BEST ENDING, jhonny does not belong in V's body, he deserves to live for what is him now, just an AI
@@burton7767 I gotta say, i just thought of something, with how Johnnys engram overode Vs body with his, why didn't Alt do the same to V? Put him on a bd and make the same thing happen to v happen to Johnnys dna with Vs to fix Vs situation? I mean if Johnnys did that, wouldn't Vs do the same thing? If made the exact same way? Just saying, she could have saved Vs dna that way, or am I missing something here? If it worked once it can work again, therefore returning the body to V, am I wrong here??
Vik has a beautiful quote near the end, when you ask him who won the fight he's been watching since the start of the game. I can't find the exact quote so I'll paraphrase it, but it goes something like - Vik: "My guy lost. He always does. It's a recording" V: "If you know what's gonna happen, why watch it over and over again?" Vik: "I guess I'm just trying to see what he did wrong. Where he made a mistake. So far, the only thing I've come up with is - he got into a ring with a bigger opponent... but it's hard to call that a mistake" It's pretty much a metaphor for V and Johnny going up against Arasaka. There is no winning. You've lost the moment you agreed to go on that heist for Dexter. You're in the ring with a bigger dude, and it doesn't really matter what you do, you're still going to lose. It's a really beautiful moment that ties very well into the ending. I feel like it went unnoticed by a lot of people, since I can't find that moment anywhere on KZhead...
take my upvote
Man, that's a metaphor for life.
Caught that one too. A great way to look at life in my opinion. Take the easy path under someone's boot, or make the them remember & respect you despite an ass whooping.
Although, it's a bit simplistic. You can always beat the bigger dude with your skill, and in all endings ,except corpo one, Arasaka becomes crippled, because you hit them where it hurts, not just nuking one of their assets like Johnny did before. So I see quite a lot of wins there =)
@@FreelancerND Nah. That's just getting some good punches in. In the end, they'll recover, and you'll be gone. They win.
Nomad Ending, bitter sweet, without knowing if V gets cured or not, but with knowing V is free with the people he love from the carnivores night city, it's poetic, it's beautiful
There’s the hope that he will though from the cards that Misty shows you in the end credits
@@cameron2319 Oh ye, I had a look they are very good, love, future and all of that so who knows
@@ShadowedEyedClan I hope that they create an Arizona DLC where you pick up after the Nomad ending, or maybe even make the sequel about Arizona.
But original V died lol, how that's sweet ? Do u realize that V in Nomad ending is just engram copy and real original V who tried to survive, died in the moment he entered mikoshi by soulkiller used by Alt
@@jbxerr He didn’t even know that he died though, and the copy is just the exact same V from the moment that he did die, so it’s pretty much like he never did.
I think it would be cool if the game let you keep playing after the ending, in the endings where you stay in night city. Im sick of Hanako waiting for me at the embers.
Omg I hate this hanging in the quest list! Same as Witcher! I wish they could just let V to continue being a top dog in NC until dlcs come out.
HAHAHAHAHAH me too.
Shiiit I thought it was a glitch
@@dmitryfomin2671 yea its annoying, might have to uninstall the game now. Fun while it lasted..
@@itscalebgreen the game is still fun
Panam ending: The Best Silverhand keeping the body: The saddest Arasaka Ending: The Worst Suicide: The darkest
I just finished Arasaka Ending somehow and i was like, what the fuck i just did?! Worst path, i wanted to go with Panam but i didnt want to call her for help cause i was thinking it will get her killed haha. Cyberpunk is awesome game.
@@svetibes993 Same :D
I wanted to go with Panam but didn't Alt said V is gonna be dead if she transfer him to his body? Then I chose jhonny instead of V. Now I feel scammed lmao. I am kinda pissed of about this.
@@mehmeteminanar Recently completed the game for the first time myself. Imo, the moment where you make the final choice is the ultimate climactic choice. Alt tells you the options of either "living on" in a foreign, computer/digital way, or dying in your own physical body. This choice is one of the main themes of the game, so I, at least, spent a while weighing the options. Those who chose the latter option, like myself, likely accepted the fate of V dying, but were pleasantly surprised that he was actually given a "second chance," as it were. One of the reasons why the Panam ending is often seen as the "good ending." I was also kinda taken back when I made that choice and V was still alive.
@@CartoonSlug I have never thought about like that and now It makes sense. Yes the "live as a machine or die as a human" choice really fits w the Cyberpunk theme. Also the part that I felt "scammed" was just a reward for choosing human path and that was the intended message for whole Cyberpunk theme and the game, etc. Thx for explanation.
Bruh this game is beautiful and depressing af. Edit: How the hell did I get this many likes bruh?
@Drew biggest disapointment ever. my week is ruined.
its trash. like i posted above, im sick of death filled GoT trash endings. want death, serve in a military. i only want happy endings for the rest of my life.
@@fefnireindraer144 well booohooo princess, want a happy ending - go watch a Disney movie.
@@fefnireindraer144 So what you're saying is happy endings come first?
the biggest problem i have is.,....there isnt one happy ending. they should have added one, made it insanle difficult to get....like fallout 4 where you can basicly make peace with all factions...well alsmot all.....like that but alot lot lot harder.....the other endings are ok but i miss the "happy one" maybe with a dlcs....who knows......
Panam path was fucking legendary... I want more missions.. I dont wanna leave her ;(
bruh, judy is cuter :> she knows what up
fr praying for a dlc continuing that path where V actually lives
@@milk-el8vqV will be alive, the DLC will most likely take place prior to the endings
@@haliart598 Judy is cuter, but is also about 50 red flags stuffed into some jeans.
Panam is the best
Man, this was the first rpg in years to actually have me engaged with the characters and plot. Technical issues aside, this was such a great game, I hope CDPR gets back on its feet and continue doing stuff like this.
Go and play the Witcher. Same studio, even more engaging
@@br9931 oh i will, I'm just waiting for the PS5 version to get the best experience
@@br9931 Sorry i end all the missions and sides in the witcher 3 and the 2 dlcs but i feel more engaged in Cyberpunk because it feels more like my character in Witcher you are gerald and is more like a spectator what i like in Witcher was treat ciri well and show to her father that he cant buy me…
dude same with me, i enjoyed this game so much it was insane, i just didnt want it to end, i just played it out 5 min ago, im so broken xD
@@br9931 The Witcher 3 is really good, but CP77's story is way better and more engaging.
I managed to do all the endings and Panams was definitely the best route. V has 6 months but they don't only say there are some routes to explore but if you notice misty always does a tarot reading and it's always right, when she calls you after that ending it's the only one where all the cards are good, hopefully it means V lives on. I mean the whole game V is told he will die soon and against all odds V keeps on going, maybe (hopefully) that's just what they do.
Not gonna lie this made my day … it’s dumb I know but I knew I wasn’t the only one thinking misty is right on her predictions and just feels right for v to live longer than 6 months like a fulfilling life till 100 💛🥹
I have a different concept of "best". Maybe the Panam end is the most positive one, but I think that the one of V entering Mikoshi as an engram is the most fitting for this game. It's like... no matter what you do you can't escape the corporation, you are trying to fight what ultimately is going to save you. Very cyberpunk if you ask me. Besides, it is the only ending where you have real guarantees of surviving more than 6 months.
my headcannon is that V lives, there's too many hints that point to it. I hope we get a dlc or sequel that continues V's story but I understand that it makes more sense to keep V as a legend that is told in night city
I chose that ending too but despite it's considered the best, I felt depressed. Because you leave Night City behind, and video messages from my friends is so emotional to me. I felt something was still not right something still missing. We didn't get a chance to have flawless happy ending imo.
On top of that, if you choose to romance Judy and take her with you as Valerie (or Vincent with mods lol), she could potentially be the cure for V as she's got endless knowledge about biochips, relics and so on. Just go through her apartment and read all these documents... Secret untold epilogue for: Judy heals V and they live a happy life together, just like they always deserved (especially Judy. geez I can't see her crying)
i did Panam's ending and boy did i pick the right one
Doesn't it imply you're gonna turn into Johnny in Arizona though, or am I mistaken? I can't imagine anyone in AZ would know how to get the biochip out
@@kuraddohikari Nah, Johnny gets scraped out and sent with Alt, but you still only have 6 months to live because the bio chip fucked up your DNA.. How long you live after that is left a mystery though. Otherwise it sends you on "New Dawn Fades" if you kill V and bring back Johnny.
@@kuraddohikari johnny isnt on the chip anymore. its just V
@@nickatkinson5874 Ahh I see. Damn that really is the best route then. I completely missed it and ended up on the siding with Hanako ending, which is pretty shit.
I like the ending when V let's Johnny take over or when Johnny takes control of V's body after the Rogue mission. That's what I got at first and when he puts the gun into Rogue's box, the bullet into V's box felt like I made a shitty choice. Made that choice first cause V was gonna die anyway. So I thought since V is a foreigner in his own body now then maybe it's best if Johnny takes it and V will "survive" in Alt like Johnny. Then it dawned on me after trying the other endings. V gets molded or absorbed into Alt. Alt is creepy lol. What's her motivation? Is she the AI that was fucking with the Peralazes heads. But yea it was a hard choice if you played all the side quests especially Johnny's. Still think it's the best ending cause V only has six months but Johnny can do so much more if he takes the reigns. Technically V is still alive that way. But it may have come at the cost of his soul so idk
The suicide ending was sad af for me cause Judy lost two people to suicide. That's horrible I felt like a complete a**hole
Yea cause I was a male character Judy was just a close friend. But damn her reaction hit hard
One thing I missed in this video was the end credits calls. I attempted to do the secret ending, but after finding out my relationship with Johnny wasn't high enough, I opted the suicide route. Seeing Judy in her final call with tears streaming down her face unable to even sit up. Fuck that hit hard.
Judy: "please don't leave me." V: haha gun go brrrr
@@greatdash4638 When did Judy say that?
I could never choose that ending. Even for Male V, I think Judy see him as her brother who always try to be there for her. And I'm really attached to Judy as a character. Especially in the mission with her diving deep down to the sinking town where she came from. That's really heartwarming and touching, but at the Panam ending you can see in the credits that was the best decision that Judy ever made. She's finally happy. Kinda miss you, Judy :"
I played corpo who lost everything, tried to fight his way up by becoming a merc, only to realize glory ain't worth it at all, and he left with Panam and the Nomads. From having the power and the wealth as a corpo, but being tied to the game, to having nothing but freedom and family. Very beautiful ending.
Exactly the same way my playthrough went. Good looks.
Idk for me it's a bit out of character for ( corpo ) V to care that much for family / Aldecaldos and give up on his dreams
I played it like David Martinez but with a good ending so Secret Ending mixed with Glory...and it leads after much personal risk, to a REALLY good chance of V surviving, far better than w.e Panam has with her shit ideas that get people killed. Cause this is Mr. Blue Eyes, and that guy or what's behind him knows a lot about neuroscience it seems.
With me it was a Nomad who left his nation. Entered Night City. Gained Another family, lost another family. Tried so damn hard to stay alive while becoming friends with Johnny. Then was told that he’d die anyway after everything. V was tired, and gave everything up for another chance at life. Johnny would survive, and V would live on another way.
I did the from the streets V and fought everyone and killed everything in my way.. and ended with the path to glory. But It also hit like a sack of bricks for when I restarted it and decided to go with alt that ending was good too very sad but okay.
"Better to die on your feet than live on your knees." - JS That's so deep.
Thats Emiliano Zapata Quote Chum ;)
I've been saying this since the 80s... Been popularized since the Punk era
@@RafaSoria thank you for clarification on that quote..
Better to live 1 day as a lion than 100 years a sheep.
This quote is way older than 80s. :)
wish their was an ending where you burn the city down
The good ol' nuke the whole game ending 😌
@Potato King maybe its a dlc 'Easter egg' ending. Grab a purple pill and say 'fuck them, let it burn!' Lol
considering the global megacorps and the world's dystopian advancement there should be several sprawls far greater and more fucked up than night city. you basically need to nuke the planet to get rid of it all.
In memory of Johnny’s half
Or at least the arasaka tower...
I think the mind transfer ending is the most terrifying one...it's like suicide AND letting your biggest enemie win at the same time...
You let Arasaka win as soon as you accept Hanako's offer, if you think about it. Regardless of whether you accept to join their soul prison, not only does Saburo return - younger and even more capable -, but their Save Your Soul programme becomes a success, making them even more powerful then before. And worst of all, it creates a mechanism through which the rich may be able to live forever, and forever exploit the poor. It's basically Altered Carbon, only even creepier because, apparently, a person's engrams can only survive in the body of close family members O.o
@@RevanSurik Like Johnny in V's Body? But they are not related...
@@Persereus yes, and thats exactly why the biochip is killing V: because they're not compatible.
i got that ending
@@RevanSurik But Johnny can use V's Body without dying in 6 months or something like that
The scene where V looks at the Earth from space, after refusing the contract, was so emotional! Brought tears to my eyes ♥️
Me too brother
Same. That's my favorite ending
I had the ending which V sacrifices their body for Johnny. When V said: "Just, don't forget me bastard, okay?" it really broke my heart. Hearing Johnny says that he misses V to Steve is makes my sorrow double. I wish there could be a ending where both of them survived and together in NC. Finale felts like it's incomplete.
Yeah i finally got around to playing the final mission and thats the one i got. It was truly bitter sweet ending.
There's no happy endings in night city. That's dystopian fiction for you. If the game had any happy endings, probably would have felt out of place
I cried lol
@@faith9113 They literally say that in the intro: "Know where Night City's legends are? In the graveyard."
The finale feeling incomplete is why it works and why it's a good ending or endings rather. Night City never has a good ending. This ain't no Disney fairytale
I actually like the space ending (The Sun) the best if you choose to give Johnny control of V for the final mission. V gets to live (shortly) and Johnny cripples Arasaka. It makes the whole game feel like Johnny's redemption, finally able to take down Arasaka, but also sacrificing himself to save friend after he wasn't able to save Alt. On top of that V becomes a legend which Jackie always wanted for the two of them. Poetic imo.
This is 100% the best ending. Not sure why everyone likes the panam ending. I think it’s cool the V does one last huge mission in space
@@TheRussianWookie yeah I mean I like Panam and all but V would never leave Night City just for a girl
I would have 100% backed this ending if it wasn't for what it did to Judy/Panam. Ended up rolling again for the Aldecaldos ending.
@@jayborussell agreed
@@jayborussell but it wasn't "just for a girl". If you play it on the Nomad path it makes total sense that he'll want to ride again with a new clan & be free after the bullshit the city put him through.
I loved the cool cinematic shots of our characters in each ending. They should’ve had more of that throughout the game.
nah fam, these are meant to be special :/
@@Martencell I heard they actually intended them to be scattered throughout the whole game but they took em’ out lol..
@@rayray2752 a lot of the stuff we've seen around was cut for performance and/or time, they were doing everything in a rush
@@rayray2752 It would've hurt the immersion tbh. Keeping everything in first person felt consistent throughout the game and when the ending was shown in third person, you knew it felt very impactful
@@industrialvibes3064 well to be fair, this game lacks immersion in many ways haha. it was cool but it caught me off guard seeing my character in a cut scene after playing for so many hours in first person, but maybe that’s just me.
So disappointing this game didn’t have a good release. Honestly one of my favourite games of all time after finishing it. So worth trying it out now.
Yeah I just beat it on PS5 for the 1st time it’s kind of sad how many people won’t ever see how good it really is deep and engaging story, great music, and really fun.
@@goku8621 it's fun was lost if you encounter some annoying glitch or bugs
It fell into the No Man's Sky trap. Once public opinion is turned against you, that's it.
@@ptra4 yeah but whatever it's uncommon now to encounter bugs from mine.
@@Hadvar No Man's sky was from a small company with everything to prove and they fixed the game like pros and for free, with Cyberpunk they announced the best shit ever and it wasnt, and now we'll have to pay for a expansion
“Never stop fighting V” “See ya around Johnny” “Visit me in Kagawa I will show you what real food is” These moments really hit me in the feels
Man that signing the contract ending, him holding his chain with a sad look, almost made me tear up
@@alexanderm8975 The Arasaka ending in general is just soul-crushing. It was enough to make me stop playing the game. Felt like I'd been punished instead of rewarded for finishing.
@@dexketristo2349 yeah, have you done the other endings though? there’s better ones, my cannon is i went in with rogue
@@alexanderm8975 Yeah. I did all of them except for the suicide route, in fact. I think my favorite is the Secret ending. It's the only one in which Arasaka starts crumbling to the ground. It's certainly fitting for both Johnny and V too, after all; they have nothing left to lose.
@@alexanderm8975 I like the Star ending best, the only one with actual hope for survival I think. Unless in Sun ending, Mr Blue eyes can actually save V somehow.
Thought the best ending would be V getting his/her body back and Johnny getting a new body. Then you get Johnny's contact and start kicking ass with him 👀
nothing ever ends well in Cyberpunk... that they catched pretty well in this game :)
@@RSProduxx very one dimensional way to view the genre
@@plmkoo6772 agreed. Trying to find a path that is fulfilling, yet still living in a cyberpunk world is a less depressing outcome.
That ending sounds like in our world the real Socialists had won against Capitalists in the late 19th century, all proletariats truly united, WWII and Nazism didn't happen, tragedies of the Soviet, China, North Korea etc. didn't happen, and we're all happy now the in true Communist utopia.
@@zanewong2005 ...in concentration camps
The Where is my mind? ending is just so... Sad. V is a strong character since the beginning, never lacking in any skill and always getting better and better, so seeing him/her so powerless and weak and ready to give up on his/her life breaks my heart...
it was supposed to be the dirty sell your soul ending :D but still interesting. that ending could be expanded on as well. just like the rest.
v dies in realspace in all endings, so it really doesn't matter which one you choose.
@@spagetti001 I know, but in this particular one you can see how powerless he is and it actually hurt me more than all the other endings
just finished the game, 50 hours. i chose the sell my soul ending. didn't really believe johhny could pull off the arasaka heist, and I didn't want Panam to die, so I chose this because I really thought the arasaka sister could help me. she did, but she didn't in the end. I'm devastated. should have called Panam in the end.
@@bigboat8329 it doesn't matter, it's the same. if you choose the panam ending, v still dies in the end, or becomes an engram all the same.
I like to think that the ending where V gives up his body for Johnny is considered a somewhat bittersweet but good ending, meaning you're giving a dead man a second chance to live again albeit at your own expense
I just don't know if the world needs more Johnny running around. He doesn't have a grand noble goal or anything that benefits the world really. He's a violent revolutionary and I think the world has enough of those in Cyberpunk. I prefer V getting closure with those he is close to.
@@WrathOfBlades Johnny changed though
I definitely think the best ending would be Johnny and rogue dying after fulfilling what they set out to do a long time ago and v getting his life with Panam who hopefully can help him
My favorite ending is letting Johnny take over Vs body. She’s gonna die anyway, might as well make the sacrifice. And what Johnny does with it in the epilogue shows his growth and it’s just lovely.
I feel terribly sad for V Johnny had already lived one life and it is not fair to take it from V. Feel super sad when I think of V's friends emotions - the could see the body, but V is just not there anymore. All endings are beautiful in it's own right anyways
Not to mention mama Wells loses V who became like a second son/daughter to her
Mama Wells has about 4 lines with V the entire game. The best ending is the Path of Glory. V becomes a legend and dies a glorious death in space. Johnny end up with Alt. And Arasake is no more.
Nah, Johnny knowingly gave up his chance at life on some idiotic crusade. Early death was forced on V but Johnny brought it on himself with full acceptance that he might die.
By leaving everyone hanging and delta-ing the frackensnack out of NC? Yeah, what a choom.
EVERY ending is on the scale of sad From bitter sweet with nomad To depression with suicide
I think the nomad ending is the only one that mostly leaves things up to the player's imagination. Since V is an engram after Mikoshi, I like to think they eventually find a completely cybernetic body for him and slot his engram into that. It's really not that far of a stretch with how easily available stuff like that is in the Cyberpunk universe, even if they have to steal it.
@@vincent4652 Maybe ... but V/Silverhand are engrams encoded into biochips. Biochips require a living host, or a special storage unit that simulates one. When V was "killed" by Dexter Deshawn while holding Silverhand's body biochip, the biochip resurrected him while rewriting V's mind to fit Johnny. But if V dies with while using a V engram, could the biochip just rewrite V as himself again? The need for some kind of organic host, or organic holding for preservation makes me feel like you couldn't slot engrams into robots. But also, we know Alt is basically a free floating AI on the net, and AIs can control machines directly in the real world. Making a humanoid robot has got to be possible in a universe with the extreme body modification of the Cyperpunk universe
@@TheJadedJames True, but encryption anyway literally kills the soul, cause AI knows every next step of Johnny's mind, but not V's one, that's because soulkiller actually killed Silverhand and made a copy of his consciousness. In this case, V's mind will be killed like Silverhands's one before. Hope I am wrong and misunderstood smth, cause I do not want to think about it...for me, V is gonna be live in the ending where Panam helped us.
no blaze and glory, no city burning. all the endings ar awful
@@guidorussoheck2100 there’s two “blaze and glory” endings (Rogue and solo choices), but those destroy you on a personal level. Your choice.
In my opinion, leaving the city with Panam and Judy is the best ending for me.
It rly is ;D
@Neo's danger damn i feel u shit thats fuking crazy and bizarre
But then you die in 6 months. That's a bad ending IMO. I would like to live on and get panam.
@@sjoroverpirat Hey 6 months is a long time, and there are other settlements and cities, who knows
I thought same too until I realized that V in nomad ending is just construct/engram copy of original V, he's just a copy...
Hi xGarbett - we're putting together a video essay about Cyberpunk 2077 and are in the process of collecting clips from the game. Mind if we use some footage from your video in ours? We can credit you in our description & link to your channel there as well. Let us know by replying here or feel free to Tweet at us @wisecrack on Twitter!
no
I chose the Panam ending. Don't regret my choice whatsoever. Made me feel hopeful for V, that even if he did die in 6 months, Panam would be there next to him ready for whatever comes. Maybe they would even find a way to save him. All that was left was the horizon, and a small smile from V as Panam sits next to him. Perfection 🥲
Tbh that’s where I hope they’d follow up with dlc, maybe trying to find a cure
@@nataliecameron I personally think that story is perfectly beautiful left untold.
Misty’s prediction is a lot more hopeful in the Panam ending so maybe he does live
@@goku8621 indeed
Cuz you're straight not bi i chose the arasaka but at the end return to the earth to spend my life with my friends and kerry as he was the only one like vik who gave me relive and peace and prep not some merc who control underground dark side or just spend my time with controlling and dominating and grumpy panam
ngl the Secret Ending with Johnny raiding Arasaka tower alone is the coolest ending. At first I would say Panam ending, but seeing how this secret end plays out and the fact that no body dies and Arasaka loses, it's a huge win!
Do you know If there's an option to have an ending with Panam, but also raiding the Arasaka alone? I mean, something just to make Saul not die
@@RicardoMilosGachi No, if you raid alone that triggers the Legend ending
@@erezben14 Damn, so Saul always has to die it looks like ;/
Man, today i finally managed to finish the game for like 5th time, after a long pause, and unlock the Reaper ending. Gotta say, it was fucking worth it, straight from the start, i had a huge grin and really went to town on Arasaka, because i had nothing to lose. It felt great, i personally like this ending the most, i hated that people had to die for me, i really did. Thats why this ending was like an itch in my head, i couldnt stop thinking about it, but i guess i had to take almost a year off, to be able to fully dive in again.
Death to Arasaka. Paid for by Militech
i like the wording for the mind transfer, instead of "enter the program" it says "surrender to arasaka".
What's crazy is that logically, the suicide ending is the best. No one else dies. You delay arasaka's soul killer plan, and you also die peacefully with your friend at your side.
don't fear the reaper ending ?
@GG-ug8lo you end up to kill a bunch of arasaka guards who are just trying to do a job and feed their families, plus you enr up delaying the plan even if you commit suicide so it's a lot easier
@@aimalkhan5028they’re still corpo rats 🐀
I got the Arasaka 6-month ending and now there is a void inside my chest.
Ooof, too much Johnny
dude, this end could be the best one , beacause if chip with jonny can take v bodys , then a chip with v can take a random body too. its just taht simple
@@flaviofiqueli1107 or reversing what happened, putting V on a chip, like how jonny was and putting it in V ( after letting jonny the control), to make the Body only accept V again and simply reversing everything. Its V's body in the End, so they could use a new body for jonny and give back V's body to him.
worst ending
It's the only ending where V isn't dead at the end, since s/he was never made into an engram at any point. It's not a copy going back to earth. Dead after 6 months probably, but I think it's still something worth considering.
New Dawn was such a beautiful ending. Johnny was so heartbroken on that bridge. Trying to stop V and talk him out of this. He was such a great companion. Thank you for the option to change my mind at the last second CDPR, cause I was about to dive into the tub. This game's design is average but the story? Fuck me, I'm really glad I played this game.
Loved new dawn ending, going beyond the blackwall into the complete unknown, joining with alt and becoming a cybergod.
Had new dawn too, damn it left me heartbroken :(
Damn far cry new dawn has a cp ending??
There’s also technically 2 versions to it but the differences are minimal. Both have rogues gun but if you do the path with Rogue and Johnny only for Johnny to get the body, instead of looking at the pendant in the car, there will be Rogue’s gun. There’s also one less option when placing the pendant in the box. Like I said, minimal. I have to assume that rogue died soon after in some manner in the ending where V went with Panam and let Johnny have the body.
I started to like him at the end as a friend, but I still never really felt he deserved a second chance.
The first ending saved me from suicide It was really hard time for me when I played it Year ago And I was thinking about suicide So I tried it in the game There were good reasons But then ....I realized what parts I missed What a beautiful world And what beautiful moments Yes This game saved me and now I can thank cdr Remember, this world, no matter how hard it is, is beautiful and you can enjoy it
I truly understand you. The same happened to me
Wow that’s incredible , good to have you with us

This story definitely gets you thinking and builds purpose.
@@WILLINGLYWILD thanks bro ❤️
Story hit me real hard in this game. I got the ending where Johnny rides off into the sunset in V's body a changed man. I'm not sure if I should feel happy or sad, I haven't felt this way since red dead 2 or the last of us 2.
How was tlou2 sad in any way? They ruined it.
Still sad But mainly rage throughout the game Sad ending though, a lesson in life, revenge doesn't give u peace
Same here... after last of us 2 a felt.... strange....for some time..
same, all those three games left me empty for weeks after I finished them
Same, that ending hit me hard. I like it a lot though because while in mikoshi V and johnny found closure and V died fairly peacefully.
This is how i see it... Street kid: Path of Glory Corpo: Where is my mind? Nomad: All Along the watchtower
My exact fucking thought lol. I started my character a corpo lol.
100%
All Along the Watchtower makes sense for Corpo a bit too. You start out a Corpo, but as the game progresses you become sick of that lifestyle and just want freedom.
@@cornheadahh true. I agree with you. Corpo V knows megacorp tricks and valuable intel, but he doesn't really miss his previous life.

It's CDPR so we know extra content is coming, unless these nitpicking bitches on the internet ruin it for everyone with their pessimism like they did with ME:A and why we never got extra content for that game
@@deathbykonami5487 If I read criticism online I will cancel content for my game sounds like a really entitled man child thing for CDPR to do. They're a corporation and we live under capitalism the only reason they will do anything is if it is profitable.

@@bandi642 Same here, I want to see more from this project that we didn't get from Bioware and Mass Effect Andromeda (morons let poor reception ruin the game's potential)
In the ending with V and Judy out on the balcony overlooking the city, there is one thing that stands in my mind, Judy asks V what she thinks it means when she looks at the city and how it makes her feel. V asks what that is, and Judy replies: "It makes me feel alone". I think there is something powerful about this and how it was delivered for some reason for me. You go through this entire journey that spans the entire city and not necessarily thinking about any of this. It is only at the end of the journey that you can piece things together and to see what it all really means being in a city of the future of this world.
the city, society, has strayed from the path of human dignity and connections....it kills anything pure or at least harms it, of course you'd feel alone the city and the world itself needs to change, I don't think Judy leaving NC will help, think she's going to find more of the same.
Who has seen Cyberpunk: Edgerunners?
Loved the show, but regretted getting depression :(
i got the contract one, i went back to earth to live 6 more months
So did u not get put back to the last checkpoint because of that ending?
@@num8614 every ending gets put back at the checkpoint
That is the best ending cause you die naturally with your own soul. In other endings you become a soulless engram copy...
@@MrDarkness889 That's a matter of debate, but I wouldn't consider the "engram V" as not being V, as it has the exact same memories and personality. It may not be the "original" V, but remember that the original V was killed by Dex; the near entirety of the game, we play as a ressurrected V, but since he/she has the exact same memories and personality as the original, we don't mind it. Same with, say, the V at Panam's ending: it may be an engram of V, but it's V's entire personality, and in V's body, so why wouldn't he/she be V?
@@RevanSurik The difference between V being "Killed" by Dex and be copied is that V still has all his original parts, including his brain. All the chip did was repair the damage done before his was pronounced dead. Its akin to the argument of if you go unconscious, are you still you or an updated version of you? With the copied version, whats stopping them from making 2 of you? If there are 2 of you, which one is the real you? You would obviously say the first version which in this case isnt the copied engram V. Same thought can be applied to teleporters. If a teleporter is just something that copy and pastes you to another teleporter, are you killing yourself every time you use it?
They should have used the 3rd Person camera more often imo
Yeah I think so too cause at the end of the game seeing V in third person after playing in first person for so long it looked strange. Well at least to me anyway
@@PimpIes Nah, I think this was perfect. Look at it this way. The 1st person was chosen so we would feel like we are V but V dies in the end. V becomes an engram or shoots himself etc. V dies. That's why they use 3rd person in the end it's not really the same V anymore. In my opinion this makes the ending so much better.
@@oaooo8691 Yh I think ur reading too much into it
Nah I think it's better with exclusive 1st person. This is the first time you see V talking in 3rd person, it's a weird moment when you realize the character's gotta make the final steps themselves, nothing to control them.
@Kaitlin Bell I agree, having the character talk for the first time in 3rd person, in the ending, is symbolic of the player leaving their own character to do their thing. V's finally free from the chaos controlling them, the crazy power struggle both external and internal, and they finally get to speak their piece without anyone else in their head, not even the player.
best ending is the secret one, going full on john wick and destroy the company all by yourself.
1:28:08 V is so happy to go home he cant close his mouth lol
Hes so impressed by that view
Hahah! 😅
I shot myself and cried during the credits when heard Judy's message
Why did you sth wrong or its the normal version of it
Been there right after "Path of Glory". Somehow shooting myself was better and more fulfilling in terms of ending but holy shit that message was brutal.
Is it after romance with judy your talking about
@@tatarcavalry2342 no, you don’t even have to complete every quest with her
I did this option be mistake lol
i dont like the space endings and I feel guilt when choosing V or Johnny so I would say Panam ending is the best like the game says.
Facts
the best is the secret one when v became a legend by himself
the reason of Panam ending is the best is because you didnt paid attention to small details in game. What jackie did ever need? Become a legend? Power? Money? No! If you pay attention to his garage, you will find that all stuff of him didnt mean much, but if you think right every mission he call "Mama walles" so yes, for jackie he was aiming to be a legend to make his mother happy, he left valentinos because of his mother. Saburo arasaka didnt killed his son before because it was Family, so family comes first. Panam and V' and aldecados are a family, so thats why the ending is better
@@teste-yh5df You're talking rubbish

This game may be littered with bugs, but the story is probably one of the best stories I have ever experienced in a video game ever.
Hands down!
Im glad I waited till this year to play cyberpunk, it was amazing bugless smooth ride and loved it :)
Arasoka doing the Voight-Kampff test on V during that ending was super crazy.
Looking past the bugs and some of the laziness in the open world aspect, I fell in love with this game. It’s so beautiful and bittersweet. I can’t even explain the way playing this made me feel.
Completely agree with you Game is buggy, not optimized blah blah but it's a great game. I can only think of a few game that had characters as good as the ones in these game. It's been years since a game has made me feel anything close to what this game did. Just makes me sad to think about what more they could have added if they had the time
CDPR are amazing I just hope that they will fully fix the game and add more content Edit: 1.5 patch is a really good step in the right direction

This the positivity I needed to see
I gotta say all endings seem fitting with Cyberpunk 2077's story and all. Still considering how dark and grim this whole game was and how bad our actual world is becoming, I know no one would agree with me with this but I would love to have a ridiculously good ending, at least for V and Silverhand. V gets to live and Johnny has a new body, starts rebuilding his legend etc..
@Dante King Only I just realize if that actually happened we could have an expansion pack for V and Johnny team up or just for Johnny.
@@selimkarayl7823 I still think V could have stayed alive in Johnny's mind like an engram. I mean... In the end, they are so close to each other that they are almost the same person. It is more than a family, more than something that can be described in words. I dont believe that it wasnt possible. I think Alt lacked humanity and imagination to mention this. Or... another option. Betrayal in everyone in Arasaka, V didn't decide that his friend was right. In my opinion, it would be quite logical if he, as Johnny's heir, detonated Arasaka with an atomic bomb. Or start a war against a corporation. In honor of Johnny. Because Johnny's legacy lives on in him.
40:30 I love how the car plows through the parked car like how I normally drive on there without the cutscenes 😂😂 this game is literally beyond awesome
that's 40:24 not 40:30
Honestly The Sun ending is my favourite, which is the one I got. It feels so poetic; Johnny gets his redemption and V finally becomes a legend of NC, just like what He and Jackie wanted. Giving johnny control at the end just fit the story so well imo, being able to take out smasher, take down arasaka and say goodbye to rogue after she dies and then having johnny “die” by giving the body back to V. I pushed for a good relationship between V and Johnny throughout the whole game and seeing how their relationship developed from Johnny trying to kill V at the start, to him somewhat saving V and making him a legend of Night City was so cool. Yes it’s bittersweet as V is eventually going to die but seeing him goin out with a bang by breaking into the space casino (I forgot what it was called) is such a fitting end to his character and solidfies him as the greatest merc of all of night city. Honestly loved this game, i became so invested with all the characters and felt that decisions were genuinely so difficult to make and made me acc think for a while. It had a rocky start with all the bugs, which is why i waited for the next gen versions until i played it, but it turned out to be something magnificent and i think ppl should definitely give it another chance because the story and the characters are so rich. Also Keanu Reeves. Need i say more.
really liked the game and i agree with some of comments its a bit depressing and when V got sick it reminded me of rdr2 when Arthur gets tb and he's dying and how his time is running out
Yes you right!!
There a huge difference there. At least with Arthur you get hints that he is sick and his death isn't that surprising. With V the fact that he (or she) will die anyway comes out of nowhere. I mean, c'mon, they could've let us enjoy at least 1 truly good ending, where somehow Alt solves that problem and gives you a chance to live full life as a V.
@@kakhakheviashvili6365 Wrong people. Wrong city.
@Kakha Kheviashvili I agree but RDR2 could do a happy ending too, all endings were the same only change how Arthur died. I don't mind if it's the real ending or a continuation from RDR1, they could do it.
Yeah me personally I don't like kind of running out of time type of story kinda makes me anxious to finish these mission
What? My ending took 45 min?! WOW! It did not feel that long.
same here... im gonna play every „where is my mind“ from all 3 places
Takes longer if you count the ending mission. There are 4 specific ending missions. Each are about an hour

Nomad ending is great after spending 100s of hours in Night City. It's like both V and the player are moving on.
Exactly my thoughts! If you're planning on putting Cyberpunk down for a long time, or you're doing all the endings, make this your final one.
just played it for the first time ever and this game holds a special place in my heart the choices from start to finish left you just full of emotion thats what gaming is about being so deep into a story line you shed some tears get angry and just feel the story id love to see a sequal or something to this game

@@VidaEmGuerra I found it so sad that judy is a lesbian. I liked her alot. Panam is also a good choice hard to choose. But the endings leave a sour taste. V is fucked.
@@wraithking3749 yeah so sad there’s no way to truly save V
@@Cj-xt6tv I like to believe that in Arasaka ending and Panam ending you might have a chance to find a new body.
I see you're a man of culture as well
chose panam ending. best ending on the first try
That’s debatable
Same my man
That's debatable. V going to die in 6 months. I trust Alt and Vic in their judgment of situation... And if V couldn't get help in NC, i strongly doubt it could be done anywhere else. Anyway i spend good 20 minutes in Mikoshi just thinking. It was hard to made a right decision, but i did (imho). In the end - by my judgment Johnny earn a 2nd chance. That's perfectly shown in epilogue. And V, well Alt did survived and adapted. My V was a Tech\Hack build, so i think he could to. And talking about Panam... it's was realy sad to left her alone (Saul died by goddamn Smasher hand). But, if V died in 6 months later, with her - that would crush her. That'll put Aldegados in danger. But her obsession with Jhonny (VC related) could get her some gasoline to live, endure, improve the Aldegados. Cmon peep, you all know how Panam is right ?. And maybe, just maybe Alt and V later could save even Jackie from soul prison.
Same here, I didn't like any of the other angles from the getgo. Agreeing with Arasaka just smelled fishy from the start, Hanako doesn't even try to be convincing. Then Johnny wanting to raid Arasaka again with Rogue? Bitch please as if that'll work a second time around. We don't even have a netrunner equivalent to Spider Murphy to help us break ICE in the building. Panam seemed like the only choice to have a decent shot, albeit pretty crazy slim margins.
@@MichaelSmith-lg9pk better than dying immediately or giving up your body and going into the void of the net. and who knows maybe there are smart techies that left night city or in tokyo
I'm currently on a quest to get all of the endings. The first one I chose was "The Path of Least Resistance" ending. Seeing V take his own life like that filled me with dread.
Arasaka was never a bad ending to me. It puts the least ppl at risk (incl your own) and there's just something delicious about the ending. In a very emotional, cyberpunky way that Rogue/Secret didn't do for me. Was much more moving to me. It made RPing continuity easy too, since you're going back to earth, back to the adventure, not "3 months later, here's your stale ass life & your lover hates you". Judy's breakup in Arasaka end credits was more powerful too. I can pretend I'm back in night city & just headcanon Panam is helping me with cure.
The contract one is much nicer if you save Takemura in the motel, he takes the place of Hellman when convincing you and is much nicer, even standing by you on the operating table ...

First playthrough I landed on the Panam Ending, got back into V's body and set off out of the city. Loved this path so much.
the New Dawn Fades ending is the best for me having V sacrifice himself/herself, realizing that V's action was not pointless but actually saved Johnny's mind, letting Johnny gain a second life putting down his revenge and struggles, and leave the city that brought him disappointment and suffer
I got this ending. I was happy with, not because it felt like a sacrifice, but it felt like victory, going beyong the blackwall, venturing into the unknown like a cybergod, bodies are for mortals.
@@AndroidPoetry I thought about that as well. Cyberspace is a realm/dimension created by humans. Would that make it a lower dimension than our material 3D world where consciousness can transcend? Or can AI transcend into higher dimensions by evolving past digital boundaries? I love philosophy. btw I think Alt said she integrated all other engrams so there's basically no going behind the blackwall. Alt is the blackwall. I think she "eats" you.
Don’t Fear the Reaper + Johnny Lives finale was my first and favorite ending. When Johnny tries to stop V and they clasp hands...the cemetery...buying the guitar for the kid...it’s bitter sweet and hits you right in the feels.
and nuke the city again
In my playthrough when I entered cyber space I was johnny and I got to make decisions talking to V and he ended up not letting me enter cyber space and made me take his body
im guessing these endings were made up and recorded in 2012 because 2020 does not need 6 SUPER depressing endings and one feel good yet also bittersweet ending....
Welcome to the Cyberpunk genre. Happy endings aren't really a thing here.
Could have at least 1 good ending 1 where everybody wins
@@2buncharlie I feel like there should be one where his body can somehow stomach Johnny. Maybe just make it a secret ending when you get everything to 100%.
the whole game was made in 2020 haha
Cyberpunk isn't known for being happy. Welcome to the genre.
I got the ending where V basically becomes Arasaka's little experiment and gave her soul to Mikoshi. I just didn't want my V to die so I thought living like that was gonna be worth it at least... But I was wrong. I think that's the worst ending.
Just finished for the first time with this ending. I totally agree with you, I just want V to be alive and happy. But now I feel so empty and sad. Never been so invested into game characters before
I did 3 endings. Like them all. The one in which you end doing medical tests in orbit is quite "Black Mirror" ish, very interesting ending. I loved the one where he ends with Panam cause is truly a happy ending.
The endings, resumed: *HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND, I'VE COME TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN*
There's so much emotion in the suicide ending.
For me don't fear the reaper was most satysfying. Both for V and for me as player since it was a nice spike of difficulty. Plus everyone's alive Rouge and Saul and you've shown middle finger to smasher in big style. Just perfect
I have done all the endings on multiple playthroughs, but I think my favorite one is Corpo V with New Dawn Fades ending and no romances. I know it isn't the orthodox choice of favorite ending, but to me it is the most emotional and bittersweet one. V had nobody ever looking out for him especially being a Corp until he met Jackie, and after Jackie's death, he was utterly alone in that regard until Johnny, who tried everything to kill V, then would've done anything to save him, and then V sacrifices possession of his body to Johnny since he was inevitably dying anyways. This ending to me really articulated how depressing the world of Night City is, but the rare moments of comedy or joy were really memorable and laughable in the game when you reflected on them post ending.
i like jonnys endind where he helps that kid out then rides off in to sunsat on the bus like a true badass
I too think the same. Its depressing AF because we play as V all the time and then in the end surrender our ourselves to our bitter sweet friend. But in retrospect I realize it's good as V gets to (debatably) roam the free net with alt and the other constructs while Johnny gets a new life he earlier threw away trying to end Arasaka and failing to do so. Although I dislike what happened to V's friends. They all were left hanging in there with no knowledge as to what happened to V.
I love that the endings are named after timeless songs

It’s a depressing ending but at least you go out on your own terms and I like to think after V got to earth he visited all his friends and finally went to Panam to live out the rest of his months with her as in my play through I romanced her so it’s a fitting yet depressing end.
nah v belongs to judy thata a truly wonderful romance that they build up
You romanced Panam but then sided with 'Saka? Choooooom...
Just saying, the part where the cube split in half scared the sh## out of me, wasnt expecting demonic screeching
I totally agree with this about Arasaka ending! I didn't feel like it was selling your soul per se, and Saboru Arasaka's use of your relic was a deliciously Cyberpunk corp ending I didn't expect in the world. You save the most lives in this ending if you think about it, too. Corps are gonna live on. Nobody's too pissed at you. Judy breaks up which is sad. But if you romance Panam it's hard to beat the Panam ending.

I think what I love most about this games endings is that the game subtly foreshadows the endings in different ways. Dexter Deshawns famous quote about living as a nobody or dying in a blaze of glory. Misty's tarot card readings also do that. I saw how trying to become a legend stripped Johnny of the people he loved. I got the feeling that the game puts more emphasis on making the connections to the people around. Let's you know that you might be a nobody to the city but somebody amongst loved ones. Either ending you choose you never actually Fade away. You can either say fuck death I decide how I got out, or I wish to be around those that love me with the time I have left. Either through heroic death or being around loved ones you'll never truly fade away 😉
I mean, I didn't really get the blaze of glory thing. You just end up getting a drink named after you at a nightclub and Night City continues to be a terrible place.
@@SagBobet But you end up crippling Arasaka and by extension many other corpos, and that means more than anything. If you're remembered by the people you inspire them to take the mantle, which can instill change. As they said in Edgerunners, "yet another story for the next dreamer". Although they meant it in a negative connotation, this can also be a good thing
despite all the negativity with the game right now it's still a masterpiece "in my opinion". i just hope in the future DLC's V is cured or saved because the ending besides the one where you off yourself kinda are hinting at that.
Yeah it’s definitely upsetting me, I understand the backlash but nobody can actually sit back and give props to how incredible this narrative is
V is good as dead, there will be no cure, that cyberwear was a prototype, and wasn’t designed to give a corpse another life chance. Even if someone somewhere can come up with a fix to the cyberwear, it will take much longer to make and test then V has to live. Best thing we can hope for is that they make V into an engram, so he pops up and helps the next playable character along, like Johnny was for V.
Change V to Motoko Kusinagi or Kaneda or even Shinji Ikari I'll bought the dlc day 0
It's so bad lol wdym
Id love a DLC where you would be a trauma team member, or you would be able to join trauma team as V, go out on missions with them etc
Ive played through all the endings now and i find them all to be great in their own way as they all had that emotional bittersweet hit. Personally my favorite is where you give Johnny control and he gets to live his life after the trip to the cemetary, especially with the Rogue and Johnny path, man that really got to me. Still, the romantic in me just hopes that one of the FREELC or DLC is a bunch of additional missions (to find new tech or steal the another version of the chip so that you can be installed on to it and begin to re-write your own body after Johnn has left it etc) which can be completed in order to unlock a happier fairy tale ending. Not that im dissapointed just genuinly sad and that I feel anything is the sign of a good bittersweet ending i suppose.
The New Dawn Fades Ending really fits in the game, like it is like it supposed to happen
All the endings are depressing af, the story is so deep but depressing, they could have added atleast one good for everyone ending the hardest one to acquire which Johnny and V could blend in and use V' s body like twins or atleast they could have kept Jhonny' s body safe and healthy for all thos years to run an experiment and could add his own biochip to his own body. I really wanted to see that kind of an ending where V and Jhonny both stays. Was that really hard to do it for us CDPR :( Atleast we could be happy in a game we are playing as our lives are already hard and depressive :(
I'd like a true good ending as well.
same. After everything I really liked and trusted Johny. He was a piece of shit before and he changed. V and him learning from each other. Tho it's good, in this bittersweet way, they didn't make happy end. Not for this city, not for these people
@@Rakshasa1986 I would take the Panam ending as the most near to true good, as Alt said, "6 moth, maybe more", and this ending is about hope, talking about doctors, Vikor could help V with the problen, a bit and temporaly, but it was a help, and also, V isn't in his/her last days. Also, even Judy is happy, and the game ends with Misty giving a good future. It's an open ending but the kind you can believe the storie had a happy one.
I get where you're coming from, but to be honest, I like how they made it seem like there are no winners. It is fitting of the theme of night city, the corruption and greed trumps all. I sat in my pc chair feeling absolutely melancholic when I first completed the game. All the phone calls from characters you have formed actual attachment through your play through. It stung like a bitch, but it will be much more memorable, because it is more achievable. With how hopeless and desperate we are throughout the entire game, it would have felt like a cop out to neatly tie all the lose threads up and have everyone live happily ever after. Having all the endings being so bittersweet/depressing, actually makes you put thought into "what was the right decision" if there was a " it all worked out" ending, people wouldn't be satisfied unless they got the one that ends in peaches and rose petals.
There is no happy ending... V dies no matter what when you Jack into Mikoshi and Alt uses Soulkiller creating a Construct of V... The V you played with is gone at that point... After that "V" is just a shell for the copied engram... It's not V that will only live for 6 months it's the digital copy ;) That's precisely the fundamental question of the entire game... What's the nature of Consciousness? Materialists and Idealists have fundamentally different answers to this question, but it's quite a good Philosophical debate... Just because it acts like you, behaves like you, looks like you and remembers everything you did, doesn't necessarily mean it's YOU... Interestingly enough, the only ways to at least die as V is the suicide ending or the Secret Ending where you go alone to Arasaka Tower and die...
Not true while V's death is inevitable you can save other people my personal favourite ending is don't fear the reaper save Johnny
@@unguschackus9568 you don't save Johnny... Johnny is dead for almost 50 years, you're just a vessel for Johnny's copy... If your engram/construct (digitalization of your mind) and you can coexist at the same time then YOU and your engram are two separate entities and therefore two different states of consciousness... When you scan a file, you're digitalizing the paper file, you're creating a new entity, both contain the same information, but they are still two different files :) Containing the same information is definitely not correlated to being the same
Well, that's an interesting topic. When I was a kid and learned about teleportation, I've always wondered, if you "die" and there's a exact copy of you on the other side after the transfer. That would mean nobody has a chance to recognize it, but real you is gone. It's the same case in my opinion. This construct is simply not you, because there is this *something* in between.
someone was talking about Ship of Theseus paradox near the end
Man it gave me soma vives
Just finished the game and chose the Path of Glory. Didn't really know which one will suit better, but this one turned out to be perfect: my nomad V wasn't sure what to expect from Night City, but after watching Jackie die he promised himself to get to the "higher leagues", and in this ending he gets what he wants: becomes the king of Afterlife, and goes out with the bang(or at least i hope so). Didn't know about secret ending, maybe this one would be cool for my character's story. Nomad ending wouldn't make any sense since V was a nomad himself and had his reasons to stop riding with Bakkers or any other clans or families, and the corpo one is only good if you're trying to roleplay someone who is completely lost and haven't understood the sad truth of life in Night City. V sacrificing himself for Johny to live is also a cool idea, especially combined with doing a suicide run, so there's no one with you who can feel tricked after Johny walks out of Mikoshi instead of V, this ending is also the most emotional for me, but my V trusted Johny so much, that Silverhand just couldn't betray him. The game is a masterpiece, made me fall in love with it's characters, 12/10, already planning a second playthrough with a fem-V netrunner build and nomad ending.
New dawn fades and Breathe free are very cool, honestly. Panam is just perfect, but Johnny's character - he quite literally becomes V and learns from V's behaviour and decides to connect with people instead of being emotionally damaged! I especially like the quote "When my grandpa died I missed him a lot, but now I only miss him sometimes". Johnny still has reasons for fighting 'cause forces of entropy(corpos) aren't stopped and they haven't payed much, from his perspective
