@@mostrowski the gameplay itself is better in rdr2, but the plot... damn, I cried from the ending, especially if you pass the game at 100%, you get too used to these sets of pixels.
Vik N misty, the others are optional, these people get hurt weather you do their side missions or not, I would hate to be Vik n feel powerless Bc he literally watched V grow up if you go play street kid
@@blackdot4535 it was the first option I picked just for lols cos’ I figured it may have been the joke ending like many games have. Nope... V just gives up and everyone’s left broken. I was pretty devastated - I felt like I betrayed everyone, especially Judy.
@@SaberRexZealot yeah... in a way you did.... or at least I did. When I picked that option I didn’t even think about them I was just deciding that it wasn’t worth killing others just so V can live. Little did I forget V had friends who would’ve fought to the last blood for him/her. Now they are just sadden by the fact their friend is dead and didn’t ask for help
Honestly the darkest part about all of these endings is the fact that everyone talks as if they don’t know that you’re dead or what you went through...
He really had to hit us with that.....but that means that johnny takes over since he isnt getting shredded and V returns in THE CONSTRUCT what if we get a dlc to bring back V to life the dlc would be about finding a compatible body for V to take over to and HELLMAN rewrites the orignal relic with V's engram on it and using that we bring back V
@@thewintersoldier8387 sorry man its just a plain theory of mine everyone got one everyone have different theories sorry if that didnt sound sensible....
@@globaros6629 yeah. I love tragic endings to be honest. Having seen all of the CP2077 endings, I think the Arasaka one is my favorite, just because of how memorable it is.
@@glowerworm True, they don't really save themselves in the end. But, almost the entirety of the story revolved around them _trying_ to save themselves, which still conveys the main theme of the genre.
And yet...we can't, because we can't go ask for a clone to install Vs engram onto, to save both our life and the one we got entangled with. This game sucks so hard near the end, you can make clones and download yourself into them in the games lore, but you NEVER get to ask about it, despite there being several quests that outright say that you can clone yourself and live on that way. There's no reason why V should be dead in any endings after all I've learned, bad writing expects us not to question coincidences like alt cuntinham not holding up her end of the deal by only wanting johnny to survive in Vs body.
@@kappaladi4229 Agreed, i love the themes that teaches that even though we're losing ourselves and becoming someone else we still keep fighting no matter what and that's just one of the themes of the game
That's what I think people who dismiss it are missing from the game. It does characters great. I remember all their names after one playthrough. Can't say the same for games like Ubisoft ones.
@@LouSassol69er not traahing the game bit I wish it did everything else as well as characters. Because ending with "leaving NC" got me fucking crying. Especially from Judy (played as female V)
@@CharlieSheensTigerBlood not really, I romanced Panam and went with the nomads, I don’t feel like what I did didn’t matter, besides the obvious fact they removed lots of RPG elements bat that’s not here or there. In the nomad ending it’s implied they’re going to look for someone to help V, and if he can’t be helped he at least spends the last bits of his life with a family.
The ending of Cyberpunk left me speechless, it left a void in me, something that I cannot explain. The music, the credits, the voicemails…this game teaches you a great lesson.
@@misteromega5354 ultimately live your life even if it's shit or bad BCS you are living and when you die that is it V really hit this home when it was all said and done that is it all the endings except the panam ending with aldacaldos was sad
That’s why I loved this games ending it didn’t hit you with the cliche oh the main character lives and saves the day it hits you in the chest hard with reality and I feel like that’s why I loved it sm despite how sad it is
Always have been, but That's the precious thing about life, no matter how depressive it is, we can always put happiness first and put out that depressive fire.
You arent some immortal chosen one superhero in this game. Your just a regular guy dealing with the shit life puts you through sometimes. Having a terminal condition with little time left to live, friends coming into and leaving your life, finding love, dealing with enemies, helping other people, trying your hardest to help yourself. It may all be pointless in the end. But, in a way, so is everyone’s life. Nobody can hold off death forever. But that unattainable end goal isnt the point of life. Its about the experiences you have, the people you love, and the impact you can make on others. Life is about the journey, not the destination
I love the prospect of the endings to Cyberpunk. You’re not the main character. You’re not immortal. You can’t escape death. To Night City you’re just another one. Another citizen who lives and dies as the rest. You matter to those you know, but outside of that you don’t. You’ll be forgotten. Just like the rest of them.
I love that feeling in videos games when it does it right. The feeling of not being the well known hero or the savior of humanity but feeling like another citizen or npc you see on the street. It adds so much to the world and makes it feel even bigger.
Comment makes no sense when you actually look at what happens in the game You achieve immortality in half the endings and in some others you live on as a Night City legend
@@MentalParadox half? Did you play the game? You only achieve immortality if you sell your soul to Arasaka or let Johnny keep your body. And even that is described as a fate worse than death. In a majority of the endings V dies either immediately or in 6 months. In the other two they’re cast into a virtual prison to spend the rest of time in. Living on as an NC legend happens in one singular ending, and that only happened because of what Johnny did, not you. That ending also ends with implying V’s immediate death. Play the game or at least pay attention to it before you spout BS and act like the smartest man in the world.
@@KnellMortem Okay buddy, I'll bite. Even though I'm probably wasting my time. "Half? Did you play the game?" More hours than you, that I can assure you. "You only achieve immortality if you sell your soul to Arasaka or let Johnny keep your body. And even that is described as a fate worse than death." "Sell your soul" is very much a loaded term and it betrays your bias against the Mikoshi program, or any transhumanist scheme to extend life. I'm a lifelong transhumanist, I do not share your beliefs. "And even that is described as a fate worse than death." Yes, by those that believe that claim to be true. The usual collection of technophobes, science deniers and their ilk. You forget, this is said by CHARACTERS, fallible characters with opinions. Theirs are not more important than yours or mine. They can be wrong. "In a majority of the endings V dies either immediately or in 6 months." Yes, those are the ones I am not talking about. You are still notorious in those, by the way, even if you do die. "In the other two they’re cast into a virtual prison to spend the rest of time in." Again with the dishonest framing and word games. I see through you. You call it a ""prison"", I call it a waiting room until the technology exists to revive you in a cloned or wholly bioprinted body. Also by saying "the rest of time" you are suggesting you'll never be released, which is another unfounded claim, and flies directly in the face of the whole point of the Mikoshi program. The point is, to temporarily back up your mind so you can be revived in the future. Why the heck do you think rich people were voluntarily signing up to the program, if it is, as you claim, a "prison"? So again, your biases, or those of the characters you've so carefully cherry-picked to match your own biases, are not evidence. "Living on as an NC legend happens in one singular ending, and that only happened because of what Johnny did, not you." And no one will ever know the difference. "Play the game or at least pay attention to it before you spout BS and act like the smartest man in the world." You just can't stand someone can have a different perspective on the world than you do, so you misrepresent my perspective as "acting like the smartest man in the world". Keep barking, pup. Your bark is worse than your bite.
@@MentalParadox I have more important shit to do than analyze a game for two months to retort a TH-cam comment, so you win. Congratulations. I ain’t Arumaru, I’m not here to waste my life away in a comment section. Though I do agree, writing that message was a waste of time. I did read it, but my views have not changed and you got worked up over nothing. If you do want me to argue, all I have to say is you’re calling me biased, but in your reply you put in your own biases, while I only used objective statements said in the game. Can’t wait to see your 5-page essay response to that in two months.
In a few years, no one will care about the bugs; they’ll remember Judy, Panam, Johnny, Kerry, Jackie, Evelyn, Vik, Misty, Goro, Rogue, Saul... I know it’s a meme at this point but Cyberpunk really was all about the friends you made along the way. It’s one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever experienced and was exactly what I needed to cope with the stress and pain of the last year.
I really do hope it turns out that way. Most of the threads relating to cyberpunk I've read over the last 8 months have been insanely negative. However, out of the hundreds of games that I've played over the years, this is my favorite one. I hope that one day more people see it like I do.
The ending where you wake up with the biochip removed in space, when I saw jackie, my jaw dropped, and once I walked up to him, I just got scared, grabbed me and nearly got that "biochip" in. Dreams in space hella different
What’s amazing is how stark the contrast is between this and the music of its intro. It’s intense and enthusiastic, but turns into something thoroughly somber. I absolutely adore how music was handled here.
Especially if you got the ending where V and Johnny just give up. I ended up unintentionally getting that on my first play through and that fucked me up.
SPOLIERS . . . . . . The most hard hitting for me was doing Panam ending and leaving the body for Johnny. I realized that he really cared for V; I've actually cried when he visited his grave and left the necklace. And you've got to know, I've never cried on a game or a movie before. Just seeing that the arrogant, selfish asshole which is Silverhand, actually changed. And then Panam being angry at Johnny for letting V die was another time I cried. Another ending which made me cry was the suicide ending, damn, the voicemail messages from Viktor, Panam and especially Judy really got my eyes bowling out. What a great story.
"Cyberpunk is not an aspiration, it's a warning" -Mike Pondsmith Creator of Cyberpunk Pen and Paper Game. Quote is not 100% word for word accurate but he definitely said something along those lines.
Viktor: No, there's no fuckin' point. i mean, he/she... Misty: Do it. You'll see... it'll help. Viktor: So, V. How's the real afterlife lookin'?. It as nice as they say? Viktor:Cause down here, it's still shit. Hell, might even be worse than before. Viktor: Just wish i had done more... so things migh've come out different. Misty: Positive energy, victor! Viktor: I- we're gonna miss you, kid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Judy: Hey, V... I was thinking about you the other day and i thought i'd just, well... give you a call. Judy: I know it's pointless, but... once upon a time people were talking to graves and nobody batted an eyelid, right ? Judy: When i said i was thinking about you, i meant A LOT. 'Bout everything you did. Judy: And...i guess... i get it- why you wanted to leave this place once and for all. Judy:But still, V... pheww... Did you even think about, y'know-what happens when- Judy:I.... Shit, i can't do this... So much emotion in this one ._.
@@TylerMcShane this is the suicide ending. when picking one of the nornal choices on the rooftop a extra dialog pops up saying "why don't we just end it here" and you get to throw away the pills instead.
U just need to complete panams side missions and she will help u and call Judy in the end and after the ending Judy , u and panam and nomads will leave night city together
Yeah I know but my first ending was not so good... And then I did the better ending, I love that btw. To see you, panam und judy escaping and start a new life
life is depressing, one day it might seem like everything is going great but the next day it could be straight up shit, life is strange enjoy the few mere merroirs of happiness you have because one day you truly will feel... empty. Happiness only takes you away from the pain for one brief second and then later you may realize what is the point of all of this, I don't know my friend I don't know
Played through most of the endings and I sat through this track each time. With the VMs, especially those from a specific someone, just added that extra gut punch.
"Before samurai committed seppuku,they wrote jinsei. A death poem. It contained their final thoughts.About life.About death. I have read many of them of late. Some are truly works of beauty. Yet,i am not a samurai,so i bid you farewell with simple words. Rot in hell, kuso-ama."
yep man like the ending with Johnny living in V's body forever and V sacrificing himself...the characters don't know its not V anymore except Panam...so heartbreaking !
Fuckin saaaaame. The Temperance ending ones especially. Panam’s broken hearted rage and Mama Welles wanting V to come to a dinner dedicated to Jackie, knowing damn well he can never show up kills me
Yeah, that made me think a little bit. Let's assume the nomad ending is the canon ending (seems to be the most realistic one). What if V thought, "I can't sacrifice all these lives just so I can have a chance of surviving. There's simply no guarantee. I wouldn't be able to live with these thoughts gnawing in the back of my mind." And after all, V presumably only lives 6 months if he/she decides to return. And the thing is, V already died entering Mikoshi because of Soulkiller. So it'd just be the engram that gets put back into the brain. Seriously, this game messed with me hard.
@@VioIetteMolotov basically Soulkiller doesn't really let people live forever, right? It only copies their neural network or whatever and kills them. The "OG" person is gone, if I understand correctly. Only an AI/Engram that behaves exactly like the person still exists.
@C U Next Tuesday yeah thats what i gathered. Kinda sad for all parties involved, just the engram will know. Everyone else will think it's the same person as before.
on the ending with the nomads, it is implied that V and the others will find a cure. Misty’s VC tells you that the tarots she’s drawn for V is a good sign.
@@bobsponge1998 on the Ending when V goes for the Crystal Palace heist it is also implied he/she gets cured. I read Mr. Blue Eyes is like an absolute OP being or something
I never cried so hard during a credits scene/video game ending in my life. Right after my first playthrough i was crying for a good hour. The creators of Cyberpunk 2077 have no idea what an phenomenal game they made, they wrote the characters in such an amazing and memorable way that made me actually get really attached to them. I got the sun ending first but i tried the suicide ending afterwards and the voicemails made me cry even more. This music may be beautiful and all but now it just makes me wanna cry all over again.
The game is a masterpiece, I am in solidarity. But crying because of the game... I think it's stupid. I have never cried while going through a lot of good games (such as Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt)
I thought most of the endings were happy. They're not perfect, there's a difference. Nothing will ever be perfect - that is life. That doesn't mean that there isn't happiness to be found.
This game caused me a lot of post-game depression, especially after romancing Panam, felt so empty, she was so real to me. Everything felt so real. Wish there was a New Game Plus.
@@Rzymek85 What are you talking about? This game is a mess. Good story but gameplay and other things was just aweful... This game is broken on every corner. Forget about DLC's...
Man... Takemura broke my heart by wishing V hell... I know he's as loyal as a blind dog, but really, I wished he could see that he had a true friend even if V waved a different flag.

@@juevosconmiscajones666 good to hear. i played it on a laptop with a gtx 880m 8gb and the gpu was my bottleneck so i had to play with lowest settings 900p with 75% upscaling. but even on launch day patch i didn't experienced that much of bugs. my main bugs was mostly in menu and inventory and the weird form of hands in car talks.
That synth bass beginning at 3:02 is just so inexplicably solemn; it's almost as if it sounds like slow, trudging, aching footsteps...ones that are tired and weak as they descend, yet they walk atop the wavering ground of chords that echoes hope, a kind that is fragile and soft. The notes just lie suspended in that soulless air, hanging from the tightrope of reality. You pluck them from a womb that no longer births the stars, just to be reminded that while there may be no heartbeat inside the city, there remains one inside of you. It's so painful to learn that you are the only thing you will truly ever have.
This game hit a bit too close to home for me. The concept of being "lost in time" and fading away into nothingness without leaving a mark on the world behind you. To be forgotten. To truly die. When I completed the game the first time, its the first time in my gaming history where I truly just sat there in awe and didn't know what to say or do. I just had the somber end credits music and my own thoughts and feelings to take care of. That I was reminded of the fact that I am to one day die, and the utter fear and desperation to not be forgotten. This desperation is dangerous and leads to many doing horrible shit just to be remembered. On the second playthrough, knowing the end, I didn't form any bonds, only held relationships on a surface level, and never pursued any love interests, because I wanted that character to reflect myself and how I would react in V's shoes. I would be terrified to form bonds with people because I know I will die, and that they will only get hurt by my passing. Cyberpunk gets a lot of shit, mostly deserved, but one thing that I can truly give them cred for is the story. Maybe if you nitpick, the story is bad. But the overall story and the concept are fucking amazing. Some low life getting a countdown to his/her inevitable demise and the utter desperation to become someone takes over. They do horrible shit, kill multiple people in their selfish pursuit to survive, and not be forgotten. Only to be left with the choice of killing your soulmate (quite literally) to live another 6 months or kill yourself (death comes either way so why wait?) and let your soul mate take over and maybe continue your legacy in your place? Cyberpunk for me was nothing short of a spiritual and self-reflecting journey through my own mind and psyche, my morals and ethics, and my view on the world and my own life. Thank you, whoever reads this.
What really hits is that Cyberpunk doesn´t have a true villain. Yes, there is Arasaka, but you do not defeat them, or something like that. They are too strong for that, and always will rise again. The true villain is Night City itself. As was said, it promises dreams and hopes, but it will strip you of everything and everyone, that you hold close to your heart. (spoilers ahead) In the end, (if you choose Nomad´s ending) yes you probably have only 6 months of life, but as said, there is still hope, that you will find the cure with Aldecados. But the biggest achievement is, that you get out of the Night city. With a new family, that you found there and even the love of your life. You have people, that you can count on, and in the end, that is the biggest greatness, that V found. Not major league that she/he chassed after with Jackie, but people and family in this cruel world. But still... Night city stripped him/her of everything, that he/she loved.
I saw on a cyberpunk documentary somewhere here on YT that the genre of cyberpunk is not about saving the world, but surviving it. I think this game definitely holds true to that idea.
If you choose to get help from the aldecado's and let johnny leave with alt, the radio says yorinobu is going to change the megacorp from within because hanako is dead in that ending
I like the fact that at first glance, you'd think Yorinobu is the villain, but he's actually even more of a protagonist than you even. He has the same goals as Johnny but different methods.
For people who think that suicide will end their troubles and lift a burden off from the ones close to them, the bad ending gives a real perspective of what actually happens. You don't just kill yourself. You kill everyone around you with you. Infact you make it worse for them because you are free but now they will have to live with the pain of losing you. Till the day they die, your thoughts would overshadow their last memories with the thought that if only they could do something different.
@@LaneThePlane Condolences friend. I, sadly can understand completely what you mean. I was on the same path some years back when I thought I was a burden and my people would be better off without me. I am blessed to be here and realise this. Its never easy for those who are left behind. Our loved ones would rather look after us than to bury us.
i dont care what people say about this game. I loved every single minute of it, it made me feel like no other game ever was able to, except of course, The Witcher 3.
The hype made people expect this game to be the game to end all other games. Then they got hit with the reality this is an open world RPG. Yes, it has bugs. Yes, it has missing features. But even then I loved every second of this game.
If only people knew how good this game really was, it's been so long since a games story got me right in the feels multiple times with multiple different charters and made me want to play it over and over again just to see the different outcomes.
"Leaving NC ending with Nomads and Panam just give you so much for realizing : completing Nomad lifestyle and showing really what it's about - always going forward, without having regrets in the end, never stuck on any place or person, when the time comes, and just let it go, just living and enjoying the moment when there's opportunity. The moment on the tank is the only one in the game when you and V with Panam feel the subtle moment of what really freedom is, giving you a slight vague of unreasonable hope for the future, still catching the moment, despite foggy future, which absolutely complementing the whole picture of life roads these people chose. Moreover, it brings Panam and V's relationship to certain milestone, showing its growth and finishing paiting of grown-up relationships with many exquisite moments between two people who really needs each other, going hand in hand and not letting each other completely fall. They would be just different persons and so are their fates, if they didn't stick together no matter what. And at last we see even Johnny accepts his fate - to fade away, after he's seen that people neither remember him much for what he'd done before nor his band, and with last stroke - just unnamed cemented grave. Still his last words "Never stop fightin' " are just more than typical advice and beautiful farewell words. It ascertaining of V's lifepath, on which he was, trying to get rid of the chip, and not letting Johnny give full control over the body in final moment, surrendering his fate to someone else, and road which he will be always on - still keeps fighting for himself and his beloved person with other folks, no matter what awaits him and how much time left. This Johnny's closure perfectly weaving into Nomad's ending. Cyberpunk just consists of many such subtle moments which hit really hard and giving you so much to think about your life and path which you're walking, that there's not even close any other game like this." Hope one day i'll barely realize in the back of my mind how people were managed to write such story, but for now i just prefer sit and listen some soundtrack from time to time, thinking about life." Saw someone (@Windy Walker) comment this and I had to copy/paste it because it perfectly describes how I view the game in its entirety.
Mikoshi is Night City's wicked step child, they both suck your soul in, trap you, and the only peace you will get if your lucky is death without soul capture.
Bro this violin or whatever it is in background, cut's trough my soul, resonate with my heart, this musician who created it, must felt it from his heart!
@@joelcooper2786 not sure about the name since it's unofficial but it's just for the end credits theme specifically, celle again in this one was played by Tune Guo as well.
Male V's full name realy hits you when you understand its etymology. "Vincent" comes from latin verb "vinco, vincere, vici, victum" - to win, conquer. "Vincens, -tis" is participle = "the one who wins". It is so tragically ironic, that no matter what you do, you can't de facto win...
This still gives me chills at how this game just gets right under your skin if you actually get invested in the characters and storyline. The music for this game is probably the best part about it. Its haunting and sends chills right down your spine. Even makes you cry at times looking over the video logs during the credits. To say Cyberpunk is a fucked up dystopia is a understatement. It tries to actually make you care about the characters and grinds them all up in your face. Its a story that by design doesn't have a happy ending. It takes us into the dark inside the heart of the deepest depths of the human condition and how it can cause suffering on a unimaginable scale. Cyberpunk is the perfect storm of watching society melt all around you. Where goodwill and intentions evaporate in a every-man-for-himself mentality that makes Night City both interesting and its own personal kind of hell for its residents. Its a matter of perspective. Some see opportunity and freedom, others see darkness and suffering, and in truth its closer to reality than some want to admit. We like to think what guards us and society would ensure something like Cyberpunk wouldn't be our fate but in truth this is a litmus test against what very well could be the future of mankind. V by all extents and measure is one of the most remarkable people to ever live in this city. This person has skills and talent completely unmatched by anyone else in the city. What drives them is nothing short of willpower the extreme vast majority do not have. Because they were willing to crush and (depending on playstyle as it is possible not to kill anyone, but where is the fun in that in a game that very much encourages you to) slaughter as many people as it took to escape their own death. Fighting the inevitability of death and nearly succeeded despite all the odds. The gangs near the end were likely absolutely terrified of them because they were absolutely an unstoppable force of sheer will. Make no mistake your not a good person. You never were regardless of which path you took. Criminal, murderer, you leave mountains of corpses in your wake even in a stealth playthrough sometimes. However, the message of Cyberpunk is (to me) is what even is morality when you push things to the brink like this? There are so many layers to unpack here its not even funny. Human history is this tangled web of who is right and who is wrong moralistically where the lines are far less clear and things are far more shades of gray than we are comfortable admitting. The age old argument of how many hundreds of thousands of people suffered and died so you get to pay thirty cents per pound on those bananas. How many were worked to death in horrific and inhuman conditions to make that chocolate bar your munching on from the gas station. How many millions were slaughtered in wars so you pay three dollars for a gallon of gas. Either way you slice this pie you are enabling this engine of hatred, pain, suffering, death, and abuse. As a society we don't like talking about it because A) there is no real solution to it. If you don't do it this way someone else will and that is how it works. There will always be a country willing to subject their people to hellish conditions working them to death in misery so you can enjoy your lifestyle. These same systems smuggle their product into third party markets so you can never stop it. Sanctions and trade bans in practice are effectively useless in stopping it completely because trade is this gigantic web of products passing through so many hands its impossible to track it all. B) There will always be people who don't care about it like you may. All they care about is their way of life doesn't get interfered with and that is where the discussion starts and ends. On a level you can;t even blame them for it when who wants to stress about all the fine details like that? Dunno about you but I don't have time to run a multi-week investigation on all the food I buy and where exactly it comes from just to have a clean conscious. No one does. C) This is inherently an argument of weighing lesser evils. Something Cyberpunk beautifully shoves this concept right in your face. Where are you willing to draw the lines? Where are you willing to set boundaries in this deeply flawed system? Again see point B above in how people inherently want to just not think about it because at the end of things there's so very little you can do about it. Another layer to this is how you gauge happiness and how content you are with your own life. This is a blaring message Cyberpunk screams at you from the word go. Which is asking this all important question of: 'Are you happy? No? What does it take then for you to be happy?' You pass by so many others on the streets of Night City without ever really thinking about how they feel, what their opinions are, and what life is like for them. Its why I was always a harsh critic of Johnny Silverhand as a character. He is the very last person to complain about the social rot of society when he boozes and indulges whores on a regular basis himself. He smokes, he drinks, he parties, he shoves his dick into anything with a pulse. He actively contributes to the very system he claims to hate. What I have the biggest problem with in this is he wants change but makes it everyone else's problem but himself. He will sit there and scream all he wants about how fucked shit is and yet never becomes the change he wishes to see in the world around him. He lashes out with violence, death, and ultimately you see the fallout of his actions. Look at Night City. Did he change anything? No. Do people even remember his name? Also no. He was a terrorist who was a blurb on the news only people old enough even remember outside of the Afterlife bar. He became a test subject for Soulkiller so Araska could have fun enacting their revenge on him in the most poetic way they could. Which is preserving a copy of his consciousness to TORTURE it for eternity. Let. That. Sink. In. That is exactly how vain, self-absorbed, and petty Saburo was. What did Johnny hope to accomplish in nuking Araska Tower? Sending a message? Well that backfired spectacularly in his face. It was high risk with very little reword because you don't destroy a gigantic international corporate conglomerate by blowing up what was a branch office and not even their main headquarters. It wasn't going to accomplish anything from the onset. Johnny at best was a tool being manipulated by Militech to try to hurt Arasaka and he was a pawn in accomplishing that, nothing else. This also doesn't address the absolute ELEPHANT in the room and that is the absolute irrefutable fact the Johnny Silverhand you see in the game is NOT the real Johnny but a AI copy of him. Completely artificial. The real Johnny. The Johnny who lived, rocked, dranked, whored, and screamed into the void when behind the mic is NOT the same Johnny who is killing you in Cyberpunk. That Johnny is dead. What's left is a copy. A facsimile of what he once was that mimics him and his personality as closely as it can. You can try to mimic consciousness as much as you like but what makes you yourself dies with you and your body. Unless your willing to put your brain in a jar there is no work around for this as the organic part of you that makes you yourself has to die. You are dead and this computer program remains trying to mimic what you once were. Something I feel that is lost on most who experience Johnny in the game. He is an AI program that is killing you. Him feeling remorse for it doesn't matter because the Johnny you see is entirely artificial. Mikoshi and the Soulkiller program is the snake oil Arasaka is trying to sell the world. Preserve your 'soul' with us. Bullshit and lies. Its is a corporate vanity project on a scale of ignorance I can't even describe. A copy of you is still exactly just that. A copy. You and everything that makes you yourself dies with your flesh. Your not preserving ANYTHING that matters by doing this because what 'lives on' is NOT you. A copy is a copy. Something Araska and its leadership willfully ignore. You can map all the synapses in the human brain to an absolute T but a copy of that is still a copy and not the original or real thing. All you have done is created a digital consciousness that has your memories and most of your personality, but yet is still not you. Anyone in programming can tell you this as the memories and personality are just assets the AI will use to try to mimic you to the best of the AI's programming. Doesn't divorce it from the fact it is still an AI and artificial is in the name. You ca make an AI feel and sound as life-like as you want but it is still an AI. It doesn't abide by the same principles as a living being that biology, science, and basic common sense can prove. We see the upheaval from this if you choose the Devil ending. Its called the Devil for a reason. Its a bad ending that hurts and should hurt because its bad. You get the Devil ending for playing by the devil's rules. Arasaka is the devil in this case. When you realize all this it sours any sympathy you can feel for Johnny imo. Your caught up in a extremely warped twist of fate that is cruel by design. It is a warning against this technology and how it threatens to supplant Atheism in becoming a whole new region practically all its own as more people buy into these lies. AI is going to be the first snake oil salesman to sell you on something that is practically a religion itself because it is another lie promising you a solution to death that does not exist because it is not real.
Honestly I feel quite similar. The game has a bunch of problems but I felt so much for the characters. They were all so memorable and felt like real people. No other game has really done this for me and I’ve played literally everything.
Honestly I am a more story and character development gaming person. If you offer me AMAZING story and character development but goodish gameplay or good story and AMAZING gameplay I prefer the first one. There are games that are great to blow off some steam but when I play a game I want to escape from my reality and fall in love with that world and those characters. And that is what above all the bugs and issues makes this game really good for me. Johnny goes from wanting to kill you to wanting to save you and if you save him, rogue doesn't think he changed and tells him never to come back... If you dive into johnny arc in this game it is better that lots of full story arcs from other games. It is not the best game I have ever played.. that right is the witcher 3 and honestly? Don't think any other games will top it and only people who have played it know what I mean by it is simple by nature but just so powerful and emotional. CP2077 is in my top 10 list and could be higher if not for stuff like no barber shops, no car customization etc. Mechanics that would help the city feel more alive and thus emerse me more into it. If you haven't played TW3 I can't recommend you enough but I should you to play TW2 first just to get a bit of background and to feel a sense of progression in the scope and feel of things. It is an old game but the story alone holds up.
Indeed, it's a masterpiece imo. Easily in my top 3 with Zelda BOTW and the Mass Effect trilogy (as a whole). I want to play it regularly but I restrain myself in order to forget about some things and discover them all over again. I've done 3 playthroughs since the game launched, but none since the 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty (which I have bought but not played yet). I know I'm going to have a blast when I'll do my 4th playtrough of the entire game (and the 1st of Phantom Liberty).
After having a really bad breakup, I find myself listening to this for the similar feelings it presents. But I think it has a positive note hidden within. V made it to "the big leagues", He/She got what they wanted in a sense. It just cost so much to achieve it...
I just finished Phantom Liberty, i don't know how to feel anymore. I thought i would be happy, i thought everything would be alright. But i can't stop thinking. Maybe i could've done better...
Just finished this and RDR 2 my soul is heart broken 😭 it’s beautiful that games don’t always include the ur typical hero winning outcomes but a more in depth of life isn’t always winning is what u make out of ur self and the rest will come, recognition, respect , love and support.
Felt the same when I finished rdr2 recently. Cyberpunk🤝Rdr2. Equally, both good games, although cyberpunk had a disastrous launch it still came back with them fixing it, and PL was the icing on the cake, so damn good.
Say whatever you want about this game, whether its about the bugs, gameplay or anything else. But you can't deny the fact that this game has deep soundtrack & excellent story.
This end credits wall... this friend calls... and this music makes me cry... Until the last moment I believed that V would succeed and that V would find a way to heal himself ... how disappointed I was ... And now for the last 3 weeks I have just ... in desolation... i feel empty, cold and dark...
Yeah, that..... that fucking *broke* me. Never before did a game make me cry that hard, and I don't cry. Just her voice breaking, trying to come up with the words; her makeup running down her face from crying, and the 'I can't do this' at the end. Yeah, I don't think I've been the same since experiencing that ending. Course, I've been suicidal for a long time.
This music hits me...deeply, emotionally, mentally, spirituality, and physically. This tune gives us that reminder that no matter what happens, the end comes for us all. Just how we get there...is up to us. This makes me feel that the worst thing i could have been stolen from was my own Identity. Without it...im forever lost...and forever forgotten...
I haven't seen anyone mention the music during the end credits yet. That deep and dark violin(idk if it's a violin tbh) which comes in at 0:53 just fits so well.
Everyone talking about 0:52 But the real chilling part is 3:08-4:36 😔 I don't know but that part just makes me feel empty, useless, and hopeless when I'm watching the sad voice-mails from the endings during that part of the song.
The metallic violin is so haunting. Only game music that made me feel as though I've been apart of something that was bigger than myself. It's a weird feeling when I hear this track. Kinda like that feeling you got as a kid when you watched your favourite movie but it's more mature
This is the pure essence of Cyberpunk 2077 ... Its amazing- just like the game! I have been a gamer for more than 3 decades and never has a game got to me so emotional... Its truly a masterpiece! And it has taken years to actually unlock (in your head) every detail that makes this incredible.. Gotta love that CELLO! ;)
This isn't a game you can play around and then delete. This is very meaningful and very emotional. You live a life outside of your life, you lose that life and you die. But you are left with memories and memories of the Night City you lived in. That's why this will leave us a wonderful memory and imprint from the Cyberpunk game makers. Because we played this game and we live it. We live in the present, we are alive in the present, we can see the time and watch it. We should know the value and value of everything. Because after losing, the value and value will never be known. When one day comes, we will never wake up to another day.

@@glowerworm True, they don't really save themselves in the end. But, almost the entirety of the story revolved around them _trying_ to save themselves, which still conveys the main theme of the genre.
And yet...we can't, because we can't go ask for a clone to install Vs engram onto, to save both our life and the one we got entangled with.
This game sucks so hard near the end, you can make clones and download yourself into them in the games lore, but you NEVER get to ask about it, despite there being several quests that outright say that you can clone yourself and live on that way.
There's no reason why V should be dead in any endings after all I've learned, bad writing expects us not to question coincidences like alt cuntinham not holding up her end of the deal by only wanting johnny to survive in Vs body.

This game wasn't shy about hitting you with a little dose of reality. Any way you close this book, people get hurt, one way or another.
Life is depressing
That’s why I loved this games ending it didn’t hit you with the cliche oh the main character lives and saves the day it hits you in the chest hard with reality and I feel like that’s why I loved it sm despite how sad it is
Yup, the best one it’s the Aldecado ending, you left the city and with that, every people you liked alive.
Always have been, but That's the precious thing about life, no matter how depressive it is, we can always put happiness first and put out that depressive fire.
You arent some immortal chosen one superhero in this game. Your just a regular guy dealing with the shit life puts you through sometimes. Having a terminal condition with little time left to live, friends coming into and leaving your life, finding love, dealing with enemies, helping other people, trying your hardest to help yourself.
It may all be pointless in the end. But, in a way, so is everyone’s life. Nobody can hold off death forever. But that unattainable end goal isnt the point of life. Its about the experiences you have, the people you love, and the impact you can make on others. Life is about the journey, not the destination
I love the prospect of the endings to Cyberpunk. You’re not the main character. You’re not immortal. You can’t escape death. To Night City you’re just another one. Another citizen who lives and dies as the rest. You matter to those you know, but outside of that you don’t. You’ll be forgotten. Just like the rest of them.
I love that feeling in videos games when it does it right. The feeling of not being the well known hero or the savior of humanity but feeling like another citizen or npc you see on the street. It adds so much to the world and makes it feel even bigger.
Comment makes no sense when you actually look at what happens in the game
You achieve immortality in half the endings and in some others you live on as a Night City legend
@@MentalParadox half? Did you play the game? You only achieve immortality if you sell your soul to Arasaka or let Johnny keep your body. And even that is described as a fate worse than death. In a majority of the endings V dies either immediately or in 6 months. In the other two they’re cast into a virtual prison to spend the rest of time in.
Living on as an NC legend happens in one singular ending, and that only happened because of what Johnny did, not you. That ending also ends with implying V’s immediate death.
Play the game or at least pay attention to it before you spout BS and act like the smartest man in the world.
@@KnellMortem Okay buddy, I'll bite. Even though I'm probably wasting my time.
"Half? Did you play the game?"
More hours than you, that I can assure you.
"You only achieve immortality if you sell your soul to Arasaka or let Johnny keep your body. And even that is described as a fate worse than death."
"Sell your soul" is very much a loaded term and it betrays your bias against the Mikoshi program, or any transhumanist scheme to extend life. I'm a lifelong transhumanist, I do not share your beliefs. "And even that is described as a fate worse than death." Yes, by those that believe that claim to be true. The usual collection of technophobes, science deniers and their ilk. You forget, this is said by CHARACTERS, fallible characters with opinions. Theirs are not more important than yours or mine. They can be wrong.
"In a majority of the endings V dies either immediately or in 6 months."
Yes, those are the ones I am not talking about. You are still notorious in those, by the way, even if you do die.
"In the other two they’re cast into a virtual prison to spend the rest of time in."
Again with the dishonest framing and word games. I see through you. You call it a ""prison"", I call it a waiting room until the technology exists to revive you in a cloned or wholly bioprinted body. Also by saying "the rest of time" you are suggesting you'll never be released, which is another unfounded claim, and flies directly in the face of the whole point of the Mikoshi program. The point is, to temporarily back up your mind so you can be revived in the future. Why the heck do you think rich people were voluntarily signing up to the program, if it is, as you claim, a "prison"? So again, your biases, or those of the characters you've so carefully cherry-picked to match your own biases, are not evidence.
"Living on as an NC legend happens in one singular ending, and that only happened because of what Johnny did, not you."
And no one will ever know the difference.
"Play the game or at least pay attention to it before you spout BS and act like the smartest man in the world."
You just can't stand someone can have a different perspective on the world than you do, so you misrepresent my perspective as "acting like the smartest man in the world". Keep barking, pup. Your bark is worse than your bite.
@@MentalParadox I have more important shit to do than analyze a game for two months to retort a TH-cam comment, so you win. Congratulations. I ain’t Arumaru, I’m not here to waste my life away in a comment section.
Though I do agree, writing that message was a waste of time. I did read it, but my views have not changed and you got worked up over nothing.
If you do want me to argue, all I have to say is you’re calling me biased, but in your reply you put in your own biases, while I only used objective statements said in the game. Can’t wait to see your 5-page essay response to that in two months.
In a few years, no one will care about the bugs; they’ll remember Judy, Panam, Johnny, Kerry, Jackie, Evelyn, Vik, Misty, Goro, Rogue, Saul... I know it’s a meme at this point but Cyberpunk really was all about the friends you made along the way. It’s one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever experienced and was exactly what I needed to cope with the stress and pain of the last year.
I really do hope it turns out that way. Most of the threads relating to cyberpunk I've read over the last 8 months have been insanely negative. However, out of the hundreds of games that I've played over the years, this is my favorite one. I hope that one day more people see it like I do.
The ending where you wake up with the biochip removed in space, when I saw jackie, my jaw dropped, and once I walked up to him, I just got scared, grabbed me and nearly got that "biochip" in. Dreams in space hella different

The most hard hitting for me was doing Panam ending and leaving the body for Johnny. I realized that he really cared for V; I've actually cried when he visited his grave and left the necklace. And you've got to know, I've never cried on a game or a movie before. Just seeing that the arrogant, selfish asshole which is Silverhand, actually changed. And then Panam being angry at Johnny for letting V die was another time I cried.
Another ending which made me cry was the suicide ending, damn, the voicemail messages from Viktor, Panam and especially Judy really got my eyes bowling out.

Yeah, that made me think a little bit.
Let's assume the nomad ending is the canon ending (seems to be the most realistic one). What if V thought, "I can't sacrifice all these lives just so I can have a chance of surviving. There's simply no guarantee. I wouldn't be able to live with these thoughts gnawing in the back of my mind."
And after all, V presumably only lives 6 months if he/she decides to return. And the thing is, V already died entering Mikoshi because of Soulkiller. So it'd just be the engram that gets put back into the brain.
Seriously, this game messed with me hard.

I got the sun ending first but i tried the suicide ending afterwards and the voicemails made me cry even more. This music may be beautiful and all but now it just makes me wanna cry all over again.
The game is a masterpiece, I am in solidarity. But crying because of the game... I think it's stupid. I have never cried while going through a lot of good games (such as Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt)
Johnny: Been nice workin' with ya. V.
V: Yeah..... with you, too, johnny.
Aah..man it’s the saddest endingof all.
"Is it time?.."
The number one thing I learnt from cyberpunk, is that there’s never a happy ending.
I thought most of the endings were happy. They're not perfect, there's a difference. Nothing will ever be perfect - that is life. That doesn't mean that there isn't happiness to be found.
This game caused me a lot of post-game depression, especially after romancing Panam, felt so empty, she was so real to me. Everything felt so real. Wish there was a New Game Plus.
You need to talk amigo?
All fine now my friend, thanks for asking!
Same here I hope there’s an expansion with her
I know. The panam romance did feel real like you actually cared for this character and she wasn’t just a booty call
Oh my god I felt the same exact way. Same ending and feelings, everything. Just played through it again and felt that same exact emptiness.
Just like with Witcher 3. Feeling so empty after the game end.

gives me scares
This parts hits when you take Johnny ending. It feels like the music is taunting you kinda
The cello sections of this game’s soundtrack are some of the best sounds I have ever heard in my life
That synth bass beginning at 3:02 is just so inexplicably solemn; it's almost as if it sounds like slow, trudging, aching footsteps...ones that are tired and weak as they descend, yet they walk atop the wavering ground of chords that echoes hope, a kind that is fragile and soft. The notes just lie suspended in that soulless air, hanging from the tightrope of reality. You pluck them from a womb that no longer births the stars, just to be reminded that while there may be no heartbeat inside the city, there remains one inside of you.
It's so painful to learn that you are the only thing you will truly ever have.
You And God
This game hit a bit too close to home for me. The concept of being "lost in time" and fading away into nothingness without leaving a mark on the world behind you. To be forgotten. To truly die.
When I completed the game the first time, its the first time in my gaming history where I truly just sat there in awe and didn't know what to say or do. I just had the somber end credits music and my own thoughts and feelings to take care of. That I was reminded of the fact that I am to one day die, and the utter fear and desperation to not be forgotten. This desperation is dangerous and leads to many doing horrible shit just to be remembered.
On the second playthrough, knowing the end, I didn't form any bonds, only held relationships on a surface level, and never pursued any love interests, because I wanted that character to reflect myself and how I would react in V's shoes. I would be terrified to form bonds with people because I know I will die, and that they will only get hurt by my passing.
Cyberpunk gets a lot of shit, mostly deserved, but one thing that I can truly give them cred for is the story. Maybe if you nitpick, the story is bad. But the overall story and the concept are fucking amazing. Some low life getting a countdown to his/her inevitable demise and the utter desperation to become someone takes over. They do horrible shit, kill multiple people in their selfish pursuit to survive, and not be forgotten. Only to be left with the choice of killing your soulmate (quite literally) to live another 6 months or kill yourself (death comes either way so why wait?) and let your soul mate take over and maybe continue your legacy in your place?
Cyberpunk for me was nothing short of a spiritual and self-reflecting journey through my own mind and psyche, my morals and ethics, and my view on the world and my own life.
Thank you, whoever reads this.

Riding out with Panam and the Aldecaldos.
Give us that post-ending dlc.
Don’t make max0r eat a cricket on camera!
That would require an entire new map
@@plexyglass429 boy do we have to say something about your 5 month post after the hearing and clearance of a new dlc coming out
@@xerothereaper4158 I meant in relation to riding out with the aldecados out of night city, youd need an entirely new map
What really hits is that Cyberpunk doesn´t have a true villain. Yes, there is Arasaka, but you do not defeat them, or something like that. They are too strong for that, and always will rise again. The true villain is Night City itself. As was said, it promises dreams and hopes, but it will strip you of everything and everyone, that you hold close to your heart. (spoilers ahead) In the end, (if you choose Nomad´s ending) yes you probably have only 6 months of life, but as said, there is still hope, that you will find the cure with Aldecados. But the biggest achievement is, that you get out of the Night city. With a new family, that you found there and even the love of your life. You have people, that you can count on, and in the end, that is the biggest greatness, that V found. Not major league that she/he chassed after with Jackie, but people and family in this cruel world. But still... Night city stripped him/her of everything, that he/she loved.
Very true
Depression level 101
I saw on a cyberpunk documentary somewhere here on YT that the genre of cyberpunk is not about saving the world, but surviving it. I think this game definitely holds true to that idea.
If you choose to get help from the aldecado's and let johnny leave with alt, the radio says yorinobu is going to change the megacorp from within because hanako is dead in that ending
I like the fact that at first glance, you'd think Yorinobu is the villain, but he's actually even more of a protagonist than you even. He has the same goals as Johnny but different methods.
Red Dead 2- accept your fate and become a better person
Cyberpunk- become a worse person to prevent your fate
Yup, basically it
"True freedom is knowing you have nothing to lose anymore."
Never stop fighting, Samurai.
For people who think that suicide will end their troubles and lift a burden off from the ones close to them, the bad ending gives a real perspective of what actually happens. You don't just kill yourself. You kill everyone around you with you. Infact you make it worse for them because you are free but now they will have to live with the pain of losing you. Till the day they die, your thoughts would overshadow their last memories with the thought that if only they could do something different.
I've lost a friend like this, and no matter how well or little you knew someone- the grief sticks with you for the rest of your life
@@LaneThePlane Condolences friend. I, sadly can understand completely what you mean. I was on the same path some years back when I thought I was a burden and my people would be better off without me. I am blessed to be here and realise this. Its never easy for those who are left behind. Our loved ones would rather look after us than to bury us.
i dont care what people say about this game. I loved every single minute of it, it made me feel like no other game ever was able to, except of course, The Witcher 3.
+
The hype made people expect this game to be the game to end all other games. Then they got hit with the reality this is an open world RPG.
Yes, it has bugs. Yes, it has missing features. But even then I loved every second of this game.
If only people knew how good this game really was, it's been so long since a games story got me right in the feels multiple times with multiple different charters and made me want to play it over and over again just to see the different outcomes.
i think since farcry 3
Red Dead and 2077 single handedly saved storylines in videogames. Haven't been touched by a game like these 2 since black ops 1.
Damn right. Cyberpunk and Red dead have the best stories in all of gaming in my opinion. Even wearing Red dead's protagonist on my profile picture
@@Kazuhira64 i agree but for me the last of us is still number 1

@@Threat_LvL ew
"Leaving NC ending with Nomads and Panam just give you so much for realizing : completing Nomad lifestyle and showing really what it's about - always going forward, without having regrets in the end, never stuck on any place or person, when the time comes, and just let it go, just living and enjoying the moment when there's opportunity. The moment on the tank is the only one in the game when you and V with Panam feel the subtle moment of what really freedom is, giving you a slight vague of unreasonable hope for the future, still catching the moment, despite foggy future, which absolutely complementing the whole picture of life roads these people chose.
Moreover, it brings Panam and V's relationship to certain milestone, showing its growth and finishing paiting of grown-up relationships with many exquisite moments between two people who really needs each other, going hand in hand and not letting each other completely fall. They would be just different persons and so are their fates, if they didn't stick together no matter what.
And at last we see even Johnny accepts his fate - to fade away, after he's seen that people neither remember him much for what he'd done before nor his band, and with last stroke - just unnamed cemented grave. Still his last words "Never stop fightin' " are just more than typical advice and beautiful farewell words. It ascertaining of V's lifepath, on which he was, trying to get rid of the chip, and not letting Johnny give full control over the body in final moment, surrendering his fate to someone else, and road which he will be always on - still keeps fighting for himself and his beloved person with other folks, no matter what awaits him and how much time left. This Johnny's closure perfectly weaving into Nomad's ending.
Cyberpunk just consists of many such subtle moments which hit really hard and giving you so much to think about your life and path which you're walking, that there's not even close any other game like this."
Hope one day i'll barely realize in the back of my mind how people were managed to write such story, but for now i just prefer sit and listen some soundtrack from time to time, thinking about life."
Saw someone (@Windy Walker) comment this and I had to copy/paste it because it perfectly describes how I view the game in its entirety.
At the beginning of the game I was pissed at how bad it was and at the end I was pissed at how perfect it was 🤔😎🎸
Mikoshi is Night City's wicked step child, they both suck your soul in, trap you, and the only peace you will get if your lucky is death without soul capture.
Masterpiece...
Yes my friend, since 2 days i finish this game and i can't forgot it
Bro you came through in the clutch. Been looking for this song specifically.
The Devil ending, followed by these credits and this soundtrack were the most haunting final hours of a game I had ever played.
damn... what a story. one hell of a ending
the awkward motivation this song gives you to go out there and fight against the giant megacorporations.
this track does actually motivate me a lot to do good
0:52 - 1:30 , Night city is a special city, with a dark shade behind it
"Been good to know ya" p.s ur welcome
Bro this violin or whatever it is in background, cut's trough my soul, resonate with my heart, this musician who created it, must felt it from his heart!
It's a electric Cello played by the awesome Tina Guo she's amazing she's is also behind the amazing rebel path cello as well.
@@KEVERIANCdo you know the name of the track?
@@joelcooper2786 not sure about the name since it's unofficial but it's just for the end credits theme specifically, celle again in this one was played by Tune Guo as well.
Male V's full name realy hits you when you understand its etymology. "Vincent" comes from latin verb "vinco, vincere, vici, victum" - to win, conquer. "Vincens, -tis" is participle = "the one who wins".
It is so tragically ironic, that no matter what you do, you can't de facto win...
And if that isn’t enough, female V’s name is Valorie, which means “healthy”.
@@RobTheDoodler was way far from healthy
The Phantom Liberty endings left a hole in my chest. Even the secret ending has an underlying darkness.
Mate, Judy crying on her bed fucking broke me.
The song really makes you feel like you´ve been through a lot and it´s just all over
never knew a song could sound sad and happy at the same time
i guess thats the definition of 0
just *empty..*
Even. Yin and yang. That's how the game was t0o. Thats how life is.
This game has one of the biggest moral hangover endings in gaming
Thank you V for this unforgettable cyber adventure. You did great girl Im really proud of you.
This still gives me chills at how this game just gets right under your skin if you actually get invested in the characters and storyline.
The music for this game is probably the best part about it. Its haunting and sends chills right down your spine. Even makes you cry at times looking over the video logs during the credits.
To say Cyberpunk is a fucked up dystopia is a understatement. It tries to actually make you care about the characters and grinds them all up in your face. Its a story that by design doesn't have a happy ending.
It takes us into the dark inside the heart of the deepest depths of the human condition and how it can cause suffering on a unimaginable scale. Cyberpunk is the perfect storm of watching society melt all around you. Where goodwill and intentions evaporate in a every-man-for-himself mentality that makes Night City both interesting and its own personal kind of hell for its residents.
Its a matter of perspective. Some see opportunity and freedom, others see darkness and suffering, and in truth its closer to reality than some want to admit. We like to think what guards us and society would ensure something like Cyberpunk wouldn't be our fate but in truth this is a litmus test against what very well could be the future of mankind.
V by all extents and measure is one of the most remarkable people to ever live in this city. This person has skills and talent completely unmatched by anyone else in the city. What drives them is nothing short of willpower the extreme vast majority do not have. Because they were willing to crush and (depending on playstyle as it is possible not to kill anyone, but where is the fun in that in a game that very much encourages you to) slaughter as many people as it took to escape their own death. Fighting the inevitability of death and nearly succeeded despite all the odds. The gangs near the end were likely absolutely terrified of them because they were absolutely an unstoppable force of sheer will.
Make no mistake your not a good person. You never were regardless of which path you took. Criminal, murderer, you leave mountains of corpses in your wake even in a stealth playthrough sometimes. However, the message of Cyberpunk is (to me) is what even is morality when you push things to the brink like this? There are so many layers to unpack here its not even funny.
Human history is this tangled web of who is right and who is wrong moralistically where the lines are far less clear and things are far more shades of gray than we are comfortable admitting. The age old argument of how many hundreds of thousands of people suffered and died so you get to pay thirty cents per pound on those bananas. How many were worked to death in horrific and inhuman conditions to make that chocolate bar your munching on from the gas station. How many millions were slaughtered in wars so you pay three dollars for a gallon of gas. Either way you slice this pie you are enabling this engine of hatred, pain, suffering, death, and abuse.
As a society we don't like talking about it because A) there is no real solution to it. If you don't do it this way someone else will and that is how it works. There will always be a country willing to subject their people to hellish conditions working them to death in misery so you can enjoy your lifestyle. These same systems smuggle their product into third party markets so you can never stop it. Sanctions and trade bans in practice are effectively useless in stopping it completely because trade is this gigantic web of products passing through so many hands its impossible to track it all.
B) There will always be people who don't care about it like you may. All they care about is their way of life doesn't get interfered with and that is where the discussion starts and ends. On a level you can;t even blame them for it when who wants to stress about all the fine details like that? Dunno about you but I don't have time to run a multi-week investigation on all the food I buy and where exactly it comes from just to have a clean conscious. No one does. C) This is inherently an argument of weighing lesser evils. Something Cyberpunk beautifully shoves this concept right in your face. Where are you willing to draw the lines? Where are you willing to set boundaries in this deeply flawed system? Again see point B above in how people inherently want to just not think about it because at the end of things there's so very little you can do about it.
Another layer to this is how you gauge happiness and how content you are with your own life. This is a blaring message Cyberpunk screams at you from the word go. Which is asking this all important question of: 'Are you happy? No? What does it take then for you to be happy?' You pass by so many others on the streets of Night City without ever really thinking about how they feel, what their opinions are, and what life is like for them.
Its why I was always a harsh critic of Johnny Silverhand as a character. He is the very last person to complain about the social rot of society when he boozes and indulges whores on a regular basis himself. He smokes, he drinks, he parties, he shoves his dick into anything with a pulse. He actively contributes to the very system he claims to hate. What I have the biggest problem with in this is he wants change but makes it everyone else's problem but himself. He will sit there and scream all he wants about how fucked shit is and yet never becomes the change he wishes to see in the world around him. He lashes out with violence, death, and ultimately you see the fallout of his actions. Look at Night City. Did he change anything? No. Do people even remember his name? Also no. He was a terrorist who was a blurb on the news only people old enough even remember outside of the Afterlife bar. He became a test subject for Soulkiller so Araska could have fun enacting their revenge on him in the most poetic way they could. Which is preserving a copy of his consciousness to TORTURE it for eternity. Let. That. Sink. In. That is exactly how vain, self-absorbed, and petty Saburo was.
What did Johnny hope to accomplish in nuking Araska Tower? Sending a message? Well that backfired spectacularly in his face. It was high risk with very little reword because you don't destroy a gigantic international corporate conglomerate by blowing up what was a branch office and not even their main headquarters. It wasn't going to accomplish anything from the onset. Johnny at best was a tool being manipulated by Militech to try to hurt Arasaka and he was a pawn in accomplishing that, nothing else.
This also doesn't address the absolute ELEPHANT in the room and that is the absolute irrefutable fact the Johnny Silverhand you see in the game is NOT the real Johnny but a AI copy of him. Completely artificial. The real Johnny. The Johnny who lived, rocked, dranked, whored, and screamed into the void when behind the mic is NOT the same Johnny who is killing you in Cyberpunk. That Johnny is dead. What's left is a copy. A facsimile of what he once was that mimics him and his personality as closely as it can. You can try to mimic consciousness as much as you like but what makes you yourself dies with you and your body. Unless your willing to put your brain in a jar there is no work around for this as the organic part of you that makes you yourself has to die. You are dead and this computer program remains trying to mimic what you once were. Something I feel that is lost on most who experience Johnny in the game. He is an AI program that is killing you. Him feeling remorse for it doesn't matter because the Johnny you see is entirely artificial.
Mikoshi and the Soulkiller program is the snake oil Arasaka is trying to sell the world. Preserve your 'soul' with us. Bullshit and lies. Its is a corporate vanity project on a scale of ignorance I can't even describe. A copy of you is still exactly just that. A copy. You and everything that makes you yourself dies with your flesh. Your not preserving ANYTHING that matters by doing this because what 'lives on' is NOT you. A copy is a copy. Something Araska and its leadership willfully ignore. You can map all the synapses in the human brain to an absolute T but a copy of that is still a copy and not the original or real thing. All you have done is created a digital consciousness that has your memories and most of your personality, but yet is still not you. Anyone in programming can tell you this as the memories and personality are just assets the AI will use to try to mimic you to the best of the AI's programming. Doesn't divorce it from the fact it is still an AI and artificial is in the name. You ca make an AI feel and sound as life-like as you want but it is still an AI. It doesn't abide by the same principles as a living being that biology, science, and basic common sense can prove.
We see the upheaval from this if you choose the Devil ending. Its called the Devil for a reason. Its a bad ending that hurts and should hurt because its bad. You get the Devil ending for playing by the devil's rules. Arasaka is the devil in this case.
When you realize all this it sours any sympathy you can feel for Johnny imo. Your caught up in a extremely warped twist of fate that is cruel by design. It is a warning against this technology and how it threatens to supplant Atheism in becoming a whole new region practically all its own as more people buy into these lies. AI is going to be the first snake oil salesman to sell you on something that is practically a religion itself because it is another lie promising you a solution to death that does not exist because it is not real.
I did all the endings and god... the saddest ones in my opinion are “the devil” and “temperance”. Johnny visits V’s and rogue’s grave. I cried 😞
I spent a good 10 minutes just visiting the graves of people who died. Really felt like my actions had consequences.
V Grave should have been next to Jackie
The fact that you simply mentioned them makes me sad.
Haters gonna hate about Ai or Bugs, but honestly... this is the best game I've ever played. This story, characters, quests, soundtrack, city...
Play more games then.
@@Paragon231 let the man have his opinion it is definitely not a bad game
@@jordysmeds3203 No it's not, but if this is the best he's ever played, then he hasn't played a lot of good games.
Honestly I feel quite similar. The game has a bunch of problems but I felt so much for the characters. They were all so memorable and felt like real people. No other game has really done this for me and I’ve played literally everything.
Honestly I am a more story and character development gaming person.
If you offer me AMAZING story and character development but goodish gameplay or good story and AMAZING gameplay I prefer the first one. There are games that are great to blow off some steam but when I play a game I want to escape from my reality and fall in love with that world and those characters. And that is what above all the bugs and issues makes this game really good for me. Johnny goes from wanting to kill you to wanting to save you and if you save him, rogue doesn't think he changed and tells him never to come back... If you dive into johnny arc in this game it is better that lots of full story arcs from other games. It is not the best game I have ever played.. that right is the witcher 3 and honestly? Don't think any other games will top it and only people who have played it know what I mean by it is simple by nature but just so powerful and emotional. CP2077 is in my top 10 list and could be higher if not for stuff like no barber shops, no car customization etc. Mechanics that would help the city feel more alive and thus emerse me more into it.
If you haven't played TW3 I can't recommend you enough but I should you to play TW2 first just to get a bit of background and to feel a sense of progression in the scope and feel of things. It is an old game but the story alone holds up.
*This game keeps calling me back.* I want to leave it but, its like each time I visit it, I learn more about myself and what I want for the future.
Indeed, it's a masterpiece imo. Easily in my top 3 with Zelda BOTW and the Mass Effect trilogy (as a whole). I want to play it regularly but I restrain myself in order to forget about some things and discover them all over again. I've done 3 playthroughs since the game launched, but none since the 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty (which I have bought but not played yet). I know I'm going to have a blast when I'll do my 4th playtrough of the entire game (and the 1st of Phantom Liberty).
This song makes me feel so empty and almost hopeless. It’s hard to explain, but it’s just the impression I get from it.
After having a really bad breakup, I find myself listening to this for the similar feelings it presents. But I think it has a positive note hidden within. V made it to "the big leagues", He/She got what they wanted in a sense. It just cost so much to achieve it...
The story is rooted in tragedy, and that’s what makes it so beautiful
This game definitely made me set standards for all other story games.
same it's my favourite and i doubt there is and will be a game that's going to top this one
Аж мурашки по коже.
Тоже самое, в киберпанке вся музыка очень погружает
The ending in this game left me so empty all that work for nothing felt so attached to the characters in this game
Man the end credits is good ambient track :) .. sometimes it's time to say goodbye

Say whatever you want about this game, whether its about the bugs, gameplay or anything else.
But you can't deny the fact that this game has deep soundtrack & excellent story.
Exactly.
This end credits wall... this friend calls... and this music makes me cry... Until the last moment I believed that V would succeed and that V would find a way to heal himself ... how disappointed I was ... And now for the last 3 weeks I have just ... in desolation... i feel empty, cold and dark...
Same, really makes you think whats the point of all this after all we are just here to suffer anyways
Will never forget my first ending choosing to end it all on that rooftop... Judy's VA had me crying like i lost a close friend
Yeah, that..... that fucking *broke* me. Never before did a game make me cry that hard, and I don't cry. Just her voice breaking, trying to come up with the words; her makeup running down her face from crying, and the 'I can't do this' at the end. Yeah, I don't think I've been the same since experiencing that ending.
Course, I've been suicidal for a long time.

This music hits me...deeply, emotionally, mentally, spirituality, and physically. This tune gives us that reminder that no matter what happens, the end comes for us all.

I haven't seen anyone mention the music during the end credits yet. That deep and dark violin(idk if it's a violin tbh) which comes in at 0:53 just fits so well.

Agreed, that and the beginning part before the violin are the best parts imo.
It has that vague tone to it
The metallic violin is so haunting. Only game music that made me feel as though I've been apart of something that was bigger than myself. It's a weird feeling when I hear this track. Kinda like that feeling you got as a kid when you watched your favourite movie but it's more mature
I loved this game, it really is a work of art!
I wanted to forget that I had played it just to experience this fantastic game again!
This is the pure essence of Cyberpunk 2077 ... Its amazing- just like the game! I have been a gamer for more than 3 decades and never has a game got to me so emotional... Its truly a masterpiece! And it has taken years to actually unlock (in your head) every detail that makes this incredible.. Gotta love that CELLO! ;)
' If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.'
i will never forget how devastated i was in the end
This isn't a game you can play around and then delete. This is very meaningful and very emotional. You live a life outside of your life, you lose that life and you die. But you are left with memories and memories of the Night City you lived in. That's why this will leave us a wonderful memory and imprint from the Cyberpunk game makers. Because we played this game and we live it. We live in the present, we are alive in the present, we can see the time and watch it. We should know the value and value of everything. Because after losing, the value and value will never be known. When one day comes, we will never wake up to another day.
so simple and yet, especially with those messages from your friends, so powerful
made me realize a few things irl honestly...
i feel and extreme void
Finally! Been looking for this like forever thank you!
