it's actually about the most miserable ending in the game, believe it or not it's "happy" in the sense that V does get to survive, with no doubt or ambiguity, because it comes with some massive strings attached
>Didn't they add a new happy ending with the Phantom Liberty expansion?
no. everyone's life goes to shit (except for judy) because V disappears for 2 years and he loses the ability to ever get more than the most basic cybernetic implants, he's alive, but he's just an ordinary cog in the machine, isolated and alone.
We all die eventually. Even if you believe in a religion, no religion can promise you immortality. We live, we suffer, we die; but we also love and experience joy. No amount of time is guaranteed to you. Some might die tomorrow, others will die in a hundred years. You should not want to live forever. You should want to live happily, and though V suffered, he also had some good times before he died.
>Le Cyberpunk doesn't have happy endings!
That's all fricking bullshit considering Johnny gets a happy ending stealing your body and getting away scott free. Stop regurgitating this IT'S CYBERPUNK NO HAPPY ENDINGS THAT'S WHAT CYBERPUNK MEANS garbage. Look at Morgan Blackhand. So stop with this fricking nonsense already.
>Morgan Blackhand disappeared
Right, all those stories about the mysterious black hand superpower vigilante dispensing justice are just rumors! No substance! He totally disappeared and isn't le badass killing machine drifter *wink*. Come the frick on.
You might consider it a happy ending, but it isn't.
>You might consider it a happy ending, but it isn't.
Midwit take. You're not clever. Pic related. You might be sad having your body stolen, but Johnny's even more sad to steal it from you!
>Johnny gets a happy ending stealing your body and getting away scott free.
It's not lol. Johnny watches one of his only real friends die and is stuck alone in a world and time that isn't his and a body that isn't his, with most of everyone he knew dead, and those that aren't either still don't like him (Rogue) or have bigger shit going on in their lives than him (Kerry). Further, Panam vows to kill Johnny for what she perceives as his hostile takeover of her dear friend's body.
If a homie murders someone he's the one who's suffering the most, right? He's the one who has to live with what he's done! The murder victim and his family would never understand the pain the homie's going through!

Nobody said anything about him suffering the most. Would you be happy about your friend dying to save your life?
I say again, Johnny is ALONE. Unlike V who had a bunch of friends and people he could call family, Johnny has no one left in the world. To add onto this, he's stuck with the realization that for most of his life he's been nothing but a major frickup that typically made the lives of those around him even worse, with V's death being the ultimate example.
Being truly alone in the world with nothing but your pointless lamentations is the greatest punishment one can receive.
>It's... le existential!
You're not clever, bro. This is peak faux-intellectual bullshit dude. Being fricking dead or having a fresh body in its prime to do whatever the frick you want and a second chance at life. Stop with your pretentious cope already.

>a second chance at life
What the frick is Johnny gonna do with his "second chance" exactly? He can't make up his frickups to anyone because they're either all dead or burnt their bridges, he can't go after Arasaka again, and he sure as frick can't play pretend to V's friends. Johnny's got nothing.

you have the literacy of a small child. there's no point in arguing with a complete and utter moron like yourself.

I don't even think he's out of high school yet.
>If I have a second chance at life in a new body my only choice is to shut down like a sissy and self-analyze my situation while bemoaning my lot in life!
Or you could live like a functional human being and move the frick on. Why do you fricking morons insist that the only option you have is to reflect on philosophy or some shit like a little b***h? That's the first thing you'd do when given a second chance? No wonder you're trying to put this situation through the lense of some navelgazing melodramatic theater kid. Weak excuses for human beings. Holy shit.

Why the frick would V be seeing Tarot Cards when he's never even looked at one before? When you see the first one outside of your apartment V literally remarks about how they have no clue what the frick it is. Also the Tarot Cards LITERALLY GIVE FREE HINTS ABOUT THE STORY AND CHARACTERS THAT'S WHY YOU ONLY FIND THEM IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS.

Becoming a mega player in Night City, fricking Panam on the regular for a few months, and then setting off for a space heist seemed like a pretty optimistic and bright ending when I did it.
Yes, the Panam one. >Get a girlfriend and essentially a new family >Leave Night City >Misty Tarot card reading in this ending is actually hopeful as it implies you do survive
Only on an individual level, but with a price to pay. If you know the Cyberpunk universe you are aware that in the end corporations always win, the city always wins and Silverhand is one of the examples. Anyone who seeks fame and glory does so with the knowledge that he will not die of old age but hoping to be remembered as a legend
>give him your body
What are you, gay?
Also, that poser is just a frick up nobody but some old hag and a gay remembers. No one even bothered to fish his bloated corpse from a toxic swamp.

yeah, the one where you uninstall it and play something good
Only for wholesome chungus Keanu Reeves when he steals your body. Oh, you mean happy ending for you? No. You're not the main character.
This is the ending I chose. Melancholy for sure. Didn't they add a new happy ending with the Phantom Liberty expansion? I just started playing it.
it's actually about the most miserable ending in the game, believe it or not

The absolute mental gymnastics from you idiots.
Just because you lack empathy doesn't mean others don't have it.

The one where you leave Night City with Panam.
It's the only one where Misty implies you survive.
To be fair Misty is a fricking idiot who'd believe you survived purely based on woman magic cards
Given she had the most coherent understanding of your Tarot Card visions as well as PL showing a cure is in fact possible, I'd be willing to trust her.

Tarot cards, for whatever reason, are about the most accurate way to seeing whats going to happen in CP2077

Panam canonically has stinky feet.
It'd be kinda based if there wasn't. Just going for it like that
You have a nice day and yorinobu wins sucessfully destroying arisaka
Best end for the world
I'd be happy dying in Panam's arms
Becoming a mega player in Night City, fricking Panam on the regular for a few months, and then setting off for a space heist seemed like a pretty optimistic and bright ending when I did it.
Happy ending? Wrong city, wrong people.
Yes, the Panam one.

Yes, blowing your brains out and then collecting keks during the end credits messages to V.
The one you ignore the foreign woman, the lesbian woman, and the old woman and go shoot up Arasaka with Johnny and then give him your body.
People complain that you die, but newsflash you're going to die anyway, may as well go out with a bang.
>Y-you live with Panam
Yeah for a few short decades then you die
>give him your body
What are you, gay?
Also, that poser is just a frick up nobody but some old hag and a gay remembers. No one even bothered to fish his bloated corpse from a toxic swamp.
It's great/sad with mods until it ends.
no that's literally the point of the genre
