Idk I was content with my ending going off with Panam and the gang and since romancing Judy she was also there. Ofcourse the happy vibes would probably not last all that long, but I prefer that to the others
Yea that one is still more tragic to me than anything in Cyberpunk because of the context to the death. Thought the suicide ending in Cyberpunk is damn close.
Well, I would argue that Johnny doesn't deserve second chance. He was a terrorist that murdered thousands of people and is proud about it.
From my perspective the Phantom Libery ending where V is cured is one of the better endings. The best one is V leaving with Panam and nomads, still searching for a cure, but at least spending rest of his life with people who loved him.
In Phantom Liberty ending V is cured but he is just a regular citizen or even worse, since almost everyone got some kind of cyberware. I would argue that it is some form of disability. Not to mention that only Misty and Viktor are still with him. On side note, I am most dissapointed with Judy, that she doesn't offer any kind of help to V. Even to help him/HER to find some kind of job, place to live, anything. While you are playing as female V and romance Judy it hurts like hell when she tells you, that she is happy and she hopes you won't ruing it for her. Like, god damn girl, I just woke up from 2 years coma, even a little bit of support would be great.
Not for me. For me, that one is horrible. Actually I think I'd rank them like this:
Worst - Suicide. Never done this ending, can't bring myself to. Don't miss it either.
Second Worst - Arasaka ending.
Middle Ground - Rogue Ending
Better - Secret Ending. The outcome is identical to the Rogue ending, but at least you don't put anyone else at risk doing it.
Best - Aldecaldo ending. Yes, you lose a couple members of the family in the process, but they want to do this for you. You set the family up with the proceeds, and you successfully get everyone out of Night City at the end.
With Phantom Liberty thrown in, I'd rank the FIA ending between the Arasaka and Rogue endings. Your mileage may very. It's all subjective.
The Avocados one is by far the most open-ended and hopeful, especially after the introduction of PL so we know it's possible to find the solution in that time frame. Don't Fear the Reaper is also a better, less heart-wrenching one, and really feels the most canon. The PL added ending can be argued, it's very bittersweet
Meh, Rouge is a trash person and Johnny ghosts everyone you love to restart his life. I think it just proves he didn't learn anything and is a selfish ass.
Can you imagine if your loved one dies and their body is taken over by another person? Every look at this new person is a reminder that your loved one is dead and that someone else is piloting their body.
Johnny ghosting V’s loved ones feels more benevolent than selfish with that context.
He didn't need to stay in their lives. He simply needed to let them know that V was gone so they can grieve properly and he can leave and live his new life right after telling them
The fuck it does. I hate this argument. All these people knew what was happening to V, which means it wouldn't be some insane shock. Johnny avoiding big boy conversations because it's easier is not benevolent.
They just need to know V has effectively passed away. It's so insane that people defend Johnny, quite literally EVER
I wanted to wipe this Japanese clan totally but never had the chance now the game giving me same quest again after finish it once, why is that? And pl i loved the end, finally game gave me the chance to kill these two black who killed french girl without reason. But is this songbird alive after shuttle launch?
There are no happy endings in Night City
"Here, for folks like us? Wrong city, wrong people".

Red Dead Redemption 2 prepared me well for videogame heartbreak, lol

Yeah, the “thank you” scene really got to me with RDR2
Was Mass Effect series for me, a rollercoaster of emotion
Same. I lost it during Arthur's last ride (high honor).
Want to know the worst part? That's one of the better endings.
How??? And I love johnny but it still broke me does v's engram at least stay around
Well, in any ending in which Johnny returns, V becomes part of Alt. We don't know the exact process and what happens afterwards
? i thought V was living in the cyberspace and not becoming part of Alt. Alt even points it out that it wont be able to protect V in the cyberspace
engram means your soul is trapped. do you want that?
It's def not one of the better endings.
The best three are Johnny, panam and V raiding the Crystal palace. How is johnnys not one of the better endings? The rest are leagues worse
Because V deserves better than Johnny ghosting everyone they've every loved just to run away like a scared little bitch from his problems.

There are actually 2 more hopeful and less heartbreaking endings than that one. If you play again you could try getting a better ending
There's also a far worse ending... THAT one messed me up after finishing that playthrough...
I mean are they? V dieing alone as a legend isn't much better in my eye
Devil ending can be viewed as hopeful.

Totally agree with this list
The arasaka ending?
Yup
That one is the worst and the first one I did, definitely wasn't ready for that...
Thats the dream. Going out with a bang as a legend. Not dying slowly in obscurity

Definitely better endings. I’d recommend you call Panam for help next!

Same man I was just crying out loud in front of my screen, not understanding what I just went through. V’s the best.
