So basically the whole point of the game was that transhumanism is a meme and when you die you die forever?

Both Panam and Judy are hot. Just different types of hot.

i think also the real V died after fat rat shot you.
Both Johnny and V are just a collection of data of dead humans

I am sorry but Panam's freckles win everything

is panan full human? i mean, i dont see any biochip in her

For all we know everything that happens in the game is just Vs engram being ''relived'' by someone. This could all be a memory like the one V experiences from Silverhand.

yeah, relived by the chip in his head

How about Saburo tho?

Yeah, she's probably the least augmented of the main cast. She has prosthetic eyes and all the apparently standard-issue connection ports and such, but doesn't seem to be implanted with anything else.
Judy's augments are also apparently restricted to her brain.

She has cerebral implants that let her interact with her car and the tank. But other than that she is human. V on the other hand by the end is pretty much a terminator.
>leg implants
>hand implants
>synthetic muscles
>synthetic bones
>subdermal armor plates
>etc.
I mean if you fill all your implant slots. I love how some of the enemies call you a ''chipped bastard'' acknowledging that you're heavily augmented.

Another neat thing is that the enemies have different call out for male and female V. I noticed this now that i'm playing my selnd playtrough with female V.

It's more about accepting death and deciding how you want to live with your time on Earth. Material reality is fleeting, but your soul is eternal.

I actually just bought this. They did "fix" it? I remember it launched with many problems apparently

Over the past 2 years of active development they have fixed some glitches and performance issues and have added a handful of new clothing items and 2 new guns that are next to impossible to even find unless you seek them out. Expansion (formerly expansions) delayed until 2023.

>true ending is locked behind some random dialogue halfway through the game
watcha talkin about?

pc performance is much better, AI and everything is still terrible tohugh

They fixed most of the bugs. The game itself is extremely shallow, I think even if the bugs weren't a problem at launch people would still be disappointed. But now everyone says it's fixed because it's relatively better than the completely broken state it was in.

but it's not...look at Johnny...he clearly isnt the real one. he has fake memories and is a unreliable narrator

the ending where you assault arasaka solo without involving anyone else.

it was always good...
expect for t-pose, glitches, gamebreaking save files, glitched mission

That's probably just because the experimental chip that he was stored on was inserted into a human at less than 100% integrity and then had a bullet travel through it

isnt that ending always avaiable?

no you have to pick specific dialogue in one of the johnny quests to unlock it.

do they give a decent daily routine to npcs?
i read some npcs have an actual routine

lol

user, that's not the true ending.
>It was hidden and I had to put in some effort, so clearly it's the true ending.
Literally wrong. Have you thought about the context of the ending? It's the same as the other ending, but other people don't die. It's a better alternative, yeah, but it's still going to leave you hollow inside.

the one when you said he is your best friend and he saved your live?

what is real?

>I had to put in some effort
It's not even about putting in effort though, you have to select the exact correct sequence of responses during one single conversation on one of the Johnny side missions. If you don't pick the exact correct sequence then it doesn't unlock. It doesn't just unlock naturally by becoming friendly with Johnny over time, it is entirely dependent upon one interaction. I was nice to Johnny at most opportunities and had a high relationship with him but the ending didn't unlock because I got one dialogue choice wrong out of the sequence because I didn't look it up beforehand.

It always worked like this, even in GitS. You can copy ur personality but your one is still will be different. In the main story, you basically just got cancer and they can't cure you, that's why I prefer corpo ending because they freeze you, until they'll come up with something.

>>thematically the most appropriate
The raid itself is most thematically appropriate under the Rogue ending, and the post-raid sequence is most thematic under the Aldecaldos ending. The Johnny ending is retarded. The Devil is okay for a corpo but the post-Arasaka part is retarded.

user, the Johnny ending is basically you submitting to Johnny's personality, thus taking on his own dreams and aspirations, and all the flaws that come along with it. You didn't learn anything about the themes of the game, you just assumed that "Wow, V wants to become a Night City legend at the start of the game, and I totally am one now!" Did you not think for one second this might not be a good idea? Being a glorified merc that does the bidding of corporations? They even spell it out for you at the start. Know where you'll find all of Night City's legends? The graveyard. This is the second worst possible ending you could get, and you pushed aside everyone that cares for you to chase a dream that doesn't exist. Night City is a cancer you need to escape, and you basically went all in. Did you even look up the poems that Alt Cunningham reads to you at the end? Did you look into the meaning of Misty's readings? You got played.

You have to be very real with Johnny during the Tapeworm quests. Don't kiss his ass, but don't be a dick, just straight up tell him that he led a destructive life and died alone with no friends to mourn him by his own actions.
If you manage to get him to open up and start his personal quest, you're on the right track.
Then, in the last dialogue where you pick your ending route, pick up the gun and contemplate suicide, and then sit around for a while and Johnny will present the solo raid as a more elaborate and flashier suicide that may at least achieve something.
It's by no means a "true ending" and you miss out on a lot of things with other characters by doing it.

>words words words
i wish they went all the way and let you drop a second nuke on arasaka. rip johnny silverhand miss ya big man gone but not forgotten.

Did you know you can also kill yourself during the choice by doing a series of hidden, yet specific actions during the choice? Maybe the real treasure was the brain we shot out the back of our head along the way.

That's not hidden though? You can pick any of the ending choices and then just say actually nevermind going to shoot myself instead

The Reaper is the worst ending. It accomplishes nothing and just leaves V's closest companions either confused, grief-stricken or plain mad that they just wasted all those efforts everyone put in to save them.

It’s weird how you get all the low profile looking chrome, all your cyber arms have synthetic skin. Wish you could get the flashy shit everyone else has when you borg out without mods

I do not understand the firetruck tattoo at all

Nah that ending is "fuck meatspace, fuck dying and becoming a legend, i wanna actually live forever"

>user! user, did you beat Cyberpunk 2077? Did you know there's a SUPER HIDDEN ENDING?
>YEAH, you basically talk with Johnny and shoot yourself!
>First, choose an option, then back out of it. Then wait for a few minutes doing absolutely nothing.
>Then Johnny will pop out and tell you that you can just off yourself!
>No, I gave my game to my friend. I can't show you myself.
user, if I didn't know it was true, the ending would sound like some sort of fake bullshit a kid in elementary school would make up.
user, if you want to live forever, you give Johnny the body. You went and described it ad verbatum.

Will we ever get a new RPG that isnt just an open world action game with numbers

>In Night City, looks are everything

Ah you were talking about the Rogue ending i guess.

But regardless V definitely wanted to become a "legend" even before. I actually don't like it how the game basically forces this personality trait into your character regardless of who you wanna play.

Yes, the punk aspect of Cyberpunk has layers to it. The first basis of which all Cyberpunk literature is derived from is the idea that the material world is evil. It is an existence filled with death and struggle, civilization itself has become a Darwinian jungle where only the strong, cunning, and ruthless survive, like nature itself. It is a cynical reality that degrades people's humanity and turns them all into a cannibalizing mass of animals.

The protagonists are almost always jaded idealist and romantics, individuals who have a very high view of people, but are constantly beat down when the cruel reality of the world inevitably shows itself. Thus, they rage against it, often destroying themselves and their loved ones in the process. Accepting death does not mean giving up on your beliefs or struggles, as often the penance for ones ideals is death. Cyberpunk as a genre teaches us to be brave and accept that we should never give up on our humanity just because material circumstances demand it. If the world is indeed evil, we should never become part of it and rather seek to destroy or ascend it all together by continuing to be human.

It's actually incredible that they made an "RPG" in cyberpunk universe that features next to zero chrome customization, where cyberpscyhosis is a complete non-factor, and where entire genres of mods like exotics and basically all non-combat mods are just nonexistent.

>But regardless V definitely wanted to become a "legend" even before. I actually don't like it how the game basically forces this personality trait into your character regardless of who you wanna play.
It's not an RPG, user. V isn't you, they're their own character. You can choose their background and look, but there is a clear-cut story with definitive themes and values. If you learned what the story had to say, you'd realize wanting to be a night city legend is an awful idea, and it got your buddy killed. Be smart and leave Night City.
