This. The story is so boring and I hate that I can't actually make my own story, I do not care for V. I hate that I'm not Atom Smasher, turning people into viscera just for jaywalking

>>724420573
it was a good game for killing and dismembering spics and niggers at least

the story is very tiny hat coded

He was right, but his methods were just akin to someone having a mental breakdown, and would never cause any real change.
Being able to reflect on everything long after he died is why the Johnny engram just says fuck it and moves away from Night City when he gets V's body, rather than keep trying to splash back against the tidal wave of Arasaka.

it wouldve been much more kino if the game ended with him entering some bar and picking up a guitar, implying he will fight against Arasaka again. Instead he just pussied out

>>724420696

if by wrong you mean poorly written then yes

>>724421105
In a way him moving on was the kino ending. He realized at that oil field that he didn't change anything but hurt everyone around him and that him alone can't destroy something as powerful and overarching as Arasaka, so now that he has been given a second chance thanks to V's body, he will make damn sure to make the most of it and live the life he never did. Ultimately the story is anti-corpo, but with your cliche moral of putting emphasis on friendship and family, be it Panam and the Aldecados or River's family.

>>724421430
the Aldecados were so lame being the gay neighborhood watch. It would've been better if they were morally grey biker criminals like the wraiths

>>724421430
instead of sacrificing himself for greater good and using all his previous knowledge, he pussies out and lives a self indulging life. How is that kino? Because they played some sad music and ripped off Blade Runner? Its just shit writing.

>>724422026
>instead of sacrificing himself for greater good
He already did it once and it did fuck-all.

>>724419730
Yes. About everything.

>>724421105
>>724422026
that would've been gay and retarded because it wouldve gone against his entire character growth because him and V come to the conclusion that even if you topple a big machine like arasaka, you'd do it at great cost (which he has in the past) and they'll just be replaced by something just as bad or even worse, you might as well just move on after two attempts as a living person and as a clone in someones head

>>724419730
He's a commie terrorist.

>>724421430
The kino ending is storming Arasaka HQ single handed.

>>724422572
He's not a commie, retard.

>>724423000
With nothing but a Sir John Phallustiff.

he didnt even nuke the building
wasnt it actual Blackhand that did that?
he was just on the strike team and then was one shotted by Smasher like a bitch and his remains engrammed

>>724423195
Yeah, faulty memories of his and all.

>>724421280
To be fair, that mission did not go according to plan. Partially because Johnny is a moron that didn't know elevators have emergency brakes.

>>724423000
The kino ending is storming Arasaka HQ with your bro Takemura, getting the Reddithand chip removed and destroyed, and returning to Earth to live out the rest of your life on your own terms.

>>724422142
>>724422401
guy just loses his spine and turns into a good goy. Wow. Riveting. What a growth. Its a fictional character for fucks sake. Make him do something inspiring. Its like Luke Skywalker becoming a hermit. He lost his fucking spirit. He talks about how Arasaka is terrible for changing who you are, yet he willingly gives up on his ideals and just runs away from the problems because... he realized he was rude.

Theres barely any punk characters in the game world anyway despite punk being a huuuuge part of the universe. Johnny is a legend whos supposed to have a cult like following. If people learned he came back from the dead, there would be fucking riots. Its like second coming of Jesus in the cyberpunk universe. Now I know this comparison is pretty dumb and inaccurate, but imagine if Jesus just gave up because people keep sinning anyway.

>>724423267
Even in his faulty memories the fuckups were 100bpercent his fault, like passing off Alt by not telling her he had other reasons for going on that mission, and>>724423381

>>724423410
if youre roleplaying as a bootlicker, sure

>>724423454
>If people learned he came back from the dead, there would be fucking riots.
Yeah he came back as a copy of a mind in the head of some literally who merc that got shot in the head but came back from the dead because of the experimental chip in his head on which Johnny lives. And the world is being controlled by the blue eyes techno-necromancers of the Alpha Centauri.

>>724423454
I don't think the public knows he's back in some random merc's head, maybe long after the story is done I imagine?

>>724423410

To be fair, while he is a corpo he still has a sense of traditional loyalty since he grew up in some of the worst slums in Japan and by sheer luck got picked by Saburo to join the ranks. V might be a petty thief to him, but he still respects him, especially after he saves his ass.

the problem is that the character growth itself is dogshit and nonsensical

yes nothing says anti-corpo and puts emphasis on friendship and family than leaving behind a broken world which will hurt even more people. They tried to rip off Blade Runner (the worst ending at that) but forgot that Johnny is a completely different character in a different universe. Bunch of hack writers.

>>724423546
Doing what reddithand & the devs want is a bootlicker move.
>>724423764
Yes. You can choose whether to return to Earth or have your engram taken after the Devil ending.
>>724423818
Yes he is.

>>724419730
No, he was the only one right.

>>724423654
>>724423707
thats why Im saying the game shouldve ended with him picking up a guitar at some bar. Let the world know hes back. Start preaching again.
Right before V returns to their body, he tells them "and remember V... never stop fighting..." yet he completely gives up the moment he gets a second chance
>>724423902
dying for what you believe is indeed badass.

>>724419730
He wanted to kill the japajoos, everything right.

>>724423454
nigga he nuked an entire city knowing it could kill all his loved ones that were already alienated and hated him all to destroy corporations, not sure who can top that in universe

>guy just loses his spine and turns into a good goy. Wow. Riveting. What a growth.
>yes nothing says anti-corpo and puts emphasis on friendship and family than leaving behind a broken world which will hurt even more people.
a repeating theme in this universe is that you can never destroy the corps in that world, and you will most likely die if you attempt to just like every single character that died in the story, plus the whole point of johnnys arc (if you gave him v's body) is that he learns to move on past hatred and violence because of what he experiences with v. it would be disrespectful as fuck if you surrendered your body to him only to learn he spent his second and last chance in life to repeat the same mistakes and die again, meaning your entire struggle and mission to stay alive as V meant nothing

>>724423764
you can, the Devil ending is unironically must see even though it feels like a massive betrayal

>>724423654
>And the world is being controlled by the blue eyes techno-necromancers of the Alpha Centauri.
AI knows.

>>724424590
it would be more disrespectful if he turned into a complacent goy. You will most likely die just walking down the street. Thats the repeating theme. Thats why people like him go on these suicide missions. The universe (as portrayed in the shitty game) is basically permanently doomed no matter what, which is so fucking narrowminded. Its supposed to capture a period in fictional future-history. Revolutions happened and they will keep happening. Change is real. The game is dispiritng on purpose because it was written by midwits with surface level understanding of a dystopia.
>cyberpunk isnt about saving the world. its about saving yourself
they incorporated this quote into every single aspect of the game and turned the universe into a miseryporn. This is only the case for the player. There can still be people who have influence
>the whole point of johnnys arc (if you gave him v's body) is that he learns to move on past hatred and violence
and thats a dogshit arc. He moves on by covering his eyes and ears. Wow

>>724425813
>it would be more disrespectful if he turned into a complacent goy. You will most likely die just walking down the street.
he has v's giga cyberjacked endgame body, unlikely
>The universe (as portrayed in the shitty game) is basically permanently doomed no matter what, which is so fucking narrowminded
>Revolutions happened and they will keep happening. Change is real.
dont forget thats how the tabletop is portrayed, which is the literal source material of the game. it has to stay doomed so we can get more stories out of the world, no one will tune into the new batman if gotham city is no longer the dystopia its known for because its uninteresting
>and thats a dogshit arc. He moves on by covering his eyes and ears. Wow
no hes just paying respect to V's dedication to living and making his fight mean something by living the life v wouldve wanted, theres nothing stopping johnny from going cyber terrorist again in the future when hes done living peacefully for a while

>>724425813
>cyberpunk isnt about saving the world. its about saving yourself
The quote basically means that there isnt one single hero who defeats the darkness with his sword. They even betray this idea by letting you defeat Smasher with brute strength. Smasher is meant to be absolute destruction. Reminder that youre just a human. He was a game ender back in tabletop games but the hack writers needed the player to defeat the big bad dragon at the end but then subvert it by just saying "well, it actually doesnt matter because... thats just how it is in Cyberpunk!".

One human cant destroy Arasaka. But the collective can. And Johnny is supposed to the catalyst for that. Hes supposed to rile people up. He turns pain into rage.

>>724423000
>>724423410
The kino ending is ditching that whole arasaka shitshow, going to Dogtown, becoming a glowie and getting Reddithand surgically removed and spending you retiremant in a comfy white collar job with your bro Reed. Oh and condeming Shitbird to a fate worse than death, of course

>>724426781
The good ending is giving a government a weapon of mass destruction?

>>724426594
>Reminder that youre just a human.
You're practically a cyberpsycho by the end of the game, a borg covered in synthskin. The last time you were a human was before your first visit at Vik's in Act 1.

If you are on their side, yes

The good ending is slapping Arasaka sibgle-handedly, putting down their favorite dog, making a promise with your girlfriend to see each other again, and then going off on a big mission that could secure a way out of your terminal illness. V gets to be a legend, Johnny gets to give his nemesis the middle finger , and even if the hopeful plan doesn't work out you lived to give it your best shot.

Kiroshis with a new hand doesn't make V a cyborg. You can remove the hand but kiroshis can't be taken off. He had a personal link and OS even before Vik's.

Any other implants is not part of the story except 2.0 tutorial tier armor implant.

should I get this on Switch 2 for 40 bucks

>>724428090
You're gay and retarded. Once i failed so many quest chains that the game's default is Arasaka's ending.

Sun and star have to be earned thru the game believe it or not and "don't fear the reaper" should be an option instead of waiting 5 minutes(wtf were they thinking) and also default since it's the hardest and you have no help.

>>724428880
No retard. Get it on PC or a console that is 60fps/1080p instead of a kid's tablet.

Correctly diagnosing a problem, but that doesn't necessarily validate his chosen solutions. That said, playing as a doomed soul with no time to do much else, enacting great violence on Capital and its primary agents/benefactors isn't a bad way to go. Do what you can with what you have, and all.

>>724428880
How? As I remember this thing didn't even run on PS4 pro.

>>724429420
I played it on PS4 at launch. Switch 2 is still 24fps with 720p. New consoles run the game at 60/1080+upscaled or 30/4k upscaled.

I can't believe people ever buy third party for their bing bing wahoo.

Soulstealer, despite the name, is nowhere near the level of technology required to truly trap a soul. It is just a chat GPT, a fancy macro, pretending. 99.9999...continuing percent will never be 100%, despite whatever pseudo mathematician may tell you.

Again, dearest cyberpunk fans, it is up to each and every one of you to become the enlightened and benevolent corporate overlord. If you allow evil beings to psychopathically carve their ways to the top of every organization, you are doomed and will remain doomed. Corporations are inevitable organic constructs required to organize the resources of a sentient species into exponentially more efficient logistical patterns, and you have to put in the hard work to force a mega corporation to be a good super-entity.

It is just far more easy for you to fall into the mindtrap going boo hoo hoooo evil make all hopeless!

And contrarily, sure, evil/morally grey arasaka/militech are arguably slightly more proficient megacorps by virtue of having no virtues, but that efficiency increase dissolves into disaster once the karmic debt collectors come knocking in the many forms of betrayal that is terrorism. Long term, spanning fully through the space colonization timeframe, a purely benevolent megacorp has almost no terroristic woes to deal with, inherently being a holy thing.

You know how you're more likely to play Nintendo games on your computer because you're already using your computer?

>>724423410
Best endings for Takemura is letting him sacrifice himself holding off Arasaka forces when they storm his hideout to rescue Hinako. Lets himself die thinking he was honorable and doesn't have to seppuku out of shame when you do the best ending and singlehandedly destroy Arasaka.

And they (mainly Militech) were also the ones that wanted to use what's behind the Blackwall as a weapon with the potential to destroy humanity, and even though they knew the dangers and ramifications they continued Cynosure for decades way past the end of the Fourth Corporate War.
