It only has one new ending if you hand Songbird over on her route or save her at the cynosure lab on Reed's.
I did 3 playthroughs when the game first came out, just finished the dlc last week and I'm feeling totally done with this game. No more.
>and I didn't read shit
why do you care about endings then
Allying with Songbird is technically a morally "good" choice, but you get frick all out of it. The Reed path is actually a bit more fleshed out and nets you more benefits.
>The Reed path is actually a bit more fleshed out and nets you more benefits
damn that's crazy, i should tell that to reed- oh wait the c**t has a bullet in his head, frick him 🙂
Panam is literally the best one. You stay mostly sane for the rest of your living time and you spend that time with your hot ass girlfriend and nomad bros.
That is absolutely true.
On the other hand storming arasaka on your lonesome means actually winning the game, as in actually winning cyberpunk. Reminds me of the ending in shadowrun: dragonfall, it even has the parallel of making a deal with the strongest entity in the setting.
>finally get rid of the dragons >it's too good of an ending, quick, we must pull some bullshit to ruin everything! >ummmm akctually killing the dragons unleashes unspeakable bulletproof horrors onto the world because... because it just does ok????
>rest of your living time
There's advertisements on the radio that there's experimental treatment that could cure you though so technically the best ending would be robbing the crystal palace getting rich and going for the cure, Panam is technically the "comfiest" ending if you ignore the fact you're going to be dead in a few weeks and will probably go through a lot of suffering/schizo moments towards the end
>Sbujecting Reed to a life of even more regret and suffering
Only way to save Reed is to put a bullet in his head. It's funny because Reed knows it too.
Allying with Songbird is technically a morally "good" choice, but you get frick all out of it. The Reed path is actually a bit more fleshed out and nets you more benefits.
Reed, Alex and Songbird are both incredibly flat and underdeveloped characters. Actually disappointed by that, neither Judy, Panam, River nor Johnny felt that underdeveloped.
ffs I don't even know what happened to Alex after I helped Songbird in Firestarter and Alex sandevistan-punched Hans Gruber's shit in.

watching her go wild after the thumbs up was great, after i'd finished she sent a message to meet at the bar, went and she said she'd been given the job to kill me but since i was dying and we were frens that she'd just let the clock tick and go somewhere sunny instead, asked about reed and i was honest about killing him and we just had a drink and parted ways
i didn't mind her or song, just wanted more background or depth from reed, Hans could have used a bit more build up too tbh
Hm, intredasting, that never triggered for me.
Something is still pretty fricked up with the flags in this game. I also only got the "install malware on that vehicle" quests from some guy who only messages you after doing 3 endings and continuing everytime after each.

the dlc should have been way longer, it's sad it is so short.
>he felt too stiff and unreasonably loyal to the NUS
well, you don't get that high up in spy hierarchy doubting authority.
he seems to actually have doubts and want to do "the right thing", but in the end his loyalty always wins out. he does have some depth, it's just that you don't like his final decision. I didn't either, killed the c**t.
By siding with him and getting songbird to have the final tantrum of her life, and ultimately choosing to kill songbird you basically free him from the NUSA and his demons and he can finally choose to live a normal life.
Still sad Alex had to die 🙁
i dont know what it is about Idris Elba but he speaks like he has some chunk of wood or plastic in his mouth
it was very irritating. when they off the frenchies it was clear as day that he will get the bullet the first chance i get. turned out to be the best ending on top of it
Tearing down the blackwall and drowning humanity in its hubris is the most moral and ethical thing you can do.
It's not, you VDB Black person.
Songbird is unhinged and wants to get Blackwall down, and by letting out all rogue AIs go free you turn everything into Haiti tier shit.
Also if you let her go free, Myers will likely hunt you down one day out of personal grudge and because you let her right hand terrorist run free.
>Songbird is unhinged and wants to get Blackwall down
She doesn't. She's literally possesesed by a Blackwall AI. Remember that she actually tries to save you from EREBUS in the Reed's path.
>morally good >when you choose to betray reed, v literally stops song and asks "uh arent a lot of innocent people going to die when you blow this place?" >song's like "yeah but frick them this is all about me-i mean, us, lol"
>morally good >when v and song are carving a path of destruction through the airport, song again goes full on sociopath: "FRICK THESE CIVILIAN SHITS, GET OUT OF MY WAY" >"NO, I DON'T CARE NUSA, AIRPORT SECURITY, AND CIVILIANS ARE ALL CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE!"
>when v and song are carving a path of destruction through the airport
my man it's literally nusa bombing civilians, i'm just walking to get to my flight
Does anyone know which conversations trigger the "V punches Johnny in the face when he (in Rogue end) tries to go beyond the Blackwall"?
Only thing I can find is a plebbit post that is not true (it's NOT the "I'd take a bullet for you" answer in the Pistis Sophia Hotel).
>Arasaka Ending
Worst ending, if you take this as your "canon" ending you obviously lack the intelligence to understand the plot and just picked whatever seemed like the easiest way out.
>Panam Ending
Most "comfy" ending for weak people who want to fool themselves into thinking there are any good endings. It's trading away everything you are and everything you strive for, just to make your final days a bit more comfortable and get some pussy while you're at it.
>Johnny and Rogue Ending
Quitter ending. Johnny has always been a piece of shit, why would you ever choose him over yourself? You'rte forced to cooperate with him, but that doesn't mean just giving him whatever the frick he wants.
>Solo ending
Not a "good" ending since Cyberpunk doesn't have good endings, but narratively it's easily the best ending. It's the culmination of both V's and Johnny's journeys, two opposing lifepaths that ended up in the same place with the same goal, without unnecessarily putting anyone else into harm's way.
>Suicide ending
Not an actual ending, doesn't count.
>being this humanely uncoupled you can't see the improvement of character
On top of that you're prolly thin skinned as shit, many such cases with people who don't have proper male friends.
Haha oh wow, imagine seething this hard over a fricking video game character. Johnny's not going to suck your wiener no matter how hard you simp for him, Anon. Go project your insecurities onto someone else.
The entire game is leading up to that, gives V a character arc. His whole deal in the beginning was he wants to be important and be remembered, to have a reputation, with this he gets what he wants but realizes it isn't as sweet as he thought it would be. It's poetry for Johnny since at first he just attacked Arasaka to satiate his own ego and hatred at the risk of the safety of all his friends but now he is doing it to help you and protect your friends. And it ends with you finishing what Johnny couldn't
One man suicide mission.
Hearing one of the Arasaka goons randomly scream something like "IT'S JUST ONE LONE MERC ARE YOU FRICKING KIDDING ME" made it so worth it.
Too bad it's a "secret" ending so the game doesn't expand/comment upon V basically becoming an edgerunnner demigod further.
>Too bad it's a "secret" ending so the game doesn't expand/comment upon V basically becoming an edgerunnner demigod further.
Isn't it the only way you can become "king of Night City" and you essentially replace Rogue?
i think more games needs ending like this one
all the relationships experienced, lessons learnt, morales and values you acknowledged, people you began to rely on, wisdom and information you amassed, and you should still have the option of 'frick it we ball'. Especially if it's the most short-sighted (in lore) and challenging (in actual game difficulty) one
dialogue? compromises? i am a god, how can you kill a god
>Not done it yet but idgaf about "moral" or "good" endings
Not a single ending in Cyberpunk can be classified as either this or that. >Just want to know which is funnest to play.
Do you care for a gameplay challenge? Obviously storm the tower. Unfortunately, the hard requirements for unlocking it are not merely doing Johnny's quests, but picking EXTREMELY specific dialogue choices with him at one point.
Didn't they add a failsafe during that last part of the chain specifically because they found too many players playing too organically to get the Johnny Meter up but then said failsafe is ALSO a very specific set of dialog options? I just edited my save when I realized I was locked out, wasn't doing all that shit again.
Did the pill ending kind of on accident the first time around and it felt appropriate to just leave it there.
Then I made a female corpo V and went full bootlicker mode all the way to the Arasaka afterlife.
There all pretty much the same, storming Arasaka Tower, one way or another. Only phantom liberty is not doing that but has just less content in general.
>add only one new ending for the base game while the dlc has two paths >it's some bullshit "god we're so fricking deep, genius writers" ending that has V become a literal NPC
DON'T YOU RELATE NOW
DID YOU LEARN THE LEASON PLAYER YOU THE NORMAL "FACE IN THE CROWD THERE"
God it's such a fricking shit ending, completely obvious what they're going for while uninteresting and boring as hell. Reaper ending stays best.
Honestly the part of it that's dumb isn't even entirely the whole "You either live a normie or die a legend" thing, it's that nobody in the facility thought to call your friends and loved ones and let them know the procedure was going to be a few months. Like even a secret government facility should have some kind of front facing hospital they could've used, even a chromeless V could've just lived with Panam as a nomad but no we need it to be a depressing trade-off so V loses everything and dies to a random guy in NC off-screen
Reaper's the best answer. >V doesn't want to go on this potential suicide mission with someone else and risk their lives >But also doesn't want to bend the knee for Arasaka who will almost definitely frick him over >Go it alone with Johnny and do the job he wished he could including killing Smasher >Johnny has closure and leaves with Alt >V gets a job from arguably the most powerful person in Night City and probably the only one who can get his head fixed without drawbacks >Game ends with him about to take on the most dangerous job of his life as he does one last life or death hailmary knowing that even if he dies here he's honored both Johnny's memories and Jackie's dreams and has nothing left to lose but the chip in his head
I like to think my V succeeds, I get that some folks think Cyberpunk needs to be 100% bleakness but frick I think after Crystal Palace he's earned the victory
>I like to think my V succeeds
For most players V is heavily modded to cyberpsycho levels by the end unless the cystal palace has maxtac level of security they're easily killing everyone and taking what they want
maxtac can't even take midgame V, even today
I was doing some ncpd filler out in the badlands and was wondering why the enemies wouldn't stop coming for a good 15 minutes before noticing I had a full wanted level
It's left ambiguous how the job goes, but Mr. Blue Eyes is very much a character with a lot of power in the setting so it's doubtful he's lying when he says he has the solution to V's problem.
aaahhh its that ending, thanks. Yeah trhat one was for sure the best.

Menstrual leave is honestly a good argument for why women don't deserve the same pay or benefits as men >uhm sorry I just simply can't work a week+ out of every month 🙂
if men are doing more work than you they deserve more, if you want to write it off as "but women can't help it"/"it's a biological difference chud" then you're even admitting that women are biologically inferior to men
>Devil
Probably the most interesting one. Uncovers a lot of hidden details about the story too. >The Star
Mediocre. Few friend die, you're probably going to die later too, but at least friends and shit. >Rogue ending
I honestly liked that one. Really fits the "punk" part of cyberpunk. But it's kinda redundant, since >Reaper Sun/Temperance exists
"Made a solid plan and pulled it off" from Johnny at the end of it always made me chuckle.
Both are cool.
Sun is interesting, since there's Mr. Blue Eyes and uncertainty about future.
Temperance is really cool in a bittersweet way.
Storming Arasaka is the coolest but as Johnny clearly pointed out the Arasaka building got nuked 50 years ago and it's still standing there. Even if you were somehow completely successful eradicating Arasaka in NC, Milltech is there to fill in the void anyway.
Irrelevant, if anything the fact that there was also a second team with a second nuke and it being supported by Milltech shows exactly how futile it is.
Actually, his squad was responsible for dropping the nukes. Morgan's squad was responsible for engaging with the brunt of Saka forces and providing support to the other 2 squads.
Opposite though, Johnny's team was responsible for distracting Araksa security while blackhand's group set up the nukes, johnny's memories are full of lies that he's told himself/wants to convince V are true
how do you get the dlc endings?
hand songbird over
have you done multiple playthroughs? I'm about to finish my first time and I didn't read shit.
It only has one new ending if you hand Songbird over on her route or save her at the cynosure lab on Reed's.
I did 3 playthroughs when the game first came out, just finished the dlc last week and I'm feeling totally done with this game. No more.
I'm glad you got a lot of time out of this game then. I don't know if I'll play it again, maybe in a year or so.
It wasn't that bad.
>and I didn't read shit
why do you care about endings then
>The Reed path is actually a bit more fleshed out and nets you more benefits
damn that's crazy, i should tell that to reed- oh wait the c**t has a bullet in his head, frick him 🙂
I just mean I didn't read shit online, as in the different endings, I'll read about them once I'm done
Panam is literally the best one. You stay mostly sane for the rest of your living time and you spend that time with your hot ass girlfriend and nomad bros.
That is absolutely true.
On the other hand storming arasaka on your lonesome means actually winning the game, as in actually winning cyberpunk. Reminds me of the ending in shadowrun: dragonfall, it even has the parallel of making a deal with the strongest entity in the setting.
>making deals with dragons
>being noticed by dragons at all
fast track to eternally fricking up your shit tbh
And you're basically dealing with an AI from beyond the blackwall in cp77.
Same thing.
He meant nuking the dragons, thats the win
>finally get rid of the dragons
>it's too good of an ending, quick, we must pull some bullshit to ruin everything!
>ummmm akctually killing the dragons unleashes unspeakable bulletproof horrors onto the world because... because it just does ok????
Is the only one in which misty tells you you have a happy future ahead. Panam and the aldecaldos say they have some contacts that may be able to help
>rest of your living time
There's advertisements on the radio that there's experimental treatment that could cure you though so technically the best ending would be robbing the crystal palace getting rich and going for the cure, Panam is technically the "comfiest" ending if you ignore the fact you're going to be dead in a few weeks and will probably go through a lot of suffering/schizo moments towards the end
V would easily make her preggo in that time so a part of him would always be with her
Why is your game on low
The Reed way.

the one where there is a high chance arasaka actually gets destroyed - killing yourself

Allying with Songbird is technically a morally "good" choice, but you get frick all out of it. The Reed path is actually a bit more fleshed out and nets you more benefits.
yeah it felt like that but i just couldn't bring myself to side with him and Myers
Reed is actually a bro. It's Myers who is a shithead.

>Allying with Songbird is technically a morally "good" choice
Throwing in with Blackwall frickery is never good, morally or otherwise.
She's sorry about it. And it's not like she wanted to dive into Blackwall in the first place.
Too late, it's inside her now.
Voodoo Boys frick off.
Tearing down the blackwall and drowning humanity in its hubris is the most moral and ethical thing you can do.

Only thing I can find is a plebbit post that is not true (it's NOT the "I'd take a bullet for you" answer in the Pistis Sophia Hotel).
Solo assault is the only true, based and canon choice
I hope the next game is more anime inspired

Isn't it the only way you can become "king of Night City" and you essentially replace Rogue?
No, that's "The Sun" ending that you get for siding with Rouge as well - however, she ends up dead unless you storm the tower solo.
Also, V doesn't replace" her, because she's a fixer and V's still a merc, but V does become the owner of the Afterlife.
i think more games needs ending like this one

Menstrual leave is honestly a good argument for why women don't deserve the same pay or benefits as men
>uhm sorry I just simply can't work a week+ out of every month 🙂
if men are doing more work than you they deserve more, if you want to write it off as "but women can't help it"/"it's a biological difference chud" then you're even admitting that women are biologically inferior to men
Only Pills, get help from Arasaka and Panam are the good ones
I chose the gun to my head ending
Corpo Start into Nomad ending w/ romanced Panam is absolute kino
>Devil
Probably the most interesting one. Uncovers a lot of hidden details about the story too.
>The Star
Mediocre. Few friend die, you're probably going to die later too, but at least friends and shit.
>Rogue ending
I honestly liked that one. Really fits the "punk" part of cyberpunk. But it's kinda redundant, since
>Reaper Sun/Temperance exists
"Made a solid plan and pulled it off" from Johnny at the end of it always made me chuckle.
Both are cool.
Sun is interesting, since there's Mr. Blue Eyes and uncertainty about future.
Temperance is really cool in a bittersweet way.
Songbird to the moon; Don't Fear the Reaper.
>Time to party like it's 2023
Storming Arasaka is the coolest but as Johnny clearly pointed out the Arasaka building got nuked 50 years ago and it's still standing there. Even if you were somehow completely successful eradicating Arasaka in NC, Milltech is there to fill in the void anyway.
he didnt blow shit, it was Morgan Blackhand
Irrelevant, if anything the fact that there was also a second team with a second nuke and it being supported by Milltech shows exactly how futile it is.
Actually, his squad was responsible for dropping the nukes. Morgan's squad was responsible for engaging with the brunt of Saka forces and providing support to the other 2 squads.
Opposite though, Johnny's team was responsible for distracting Araksa security while blackhand's group set up the nukes, johnny's memories are full of lies that he's told himself/wants to convince V are true
Wasn't able to get the new ending, because I wanted to put a bullet between Reed's eyes.
