>>712824284
>Good ending requires DLC
???
This is one of the base game endings

They added an ending for you in the DLC, OP. V gets "cured" and doesn't do merc shit anymore. Granted, CDPR tries their best to make it seem like a bleak depressing ending because the NUSA totally fucked V over so they can't use cyberware anymore and all that but it's the only "good" ending aside from the open ended DFTR ending where you get shot up into space.

>>712824058
>>712824098
You both missed the point. If a handful of people can nuke a corpo building imagine what fifty, a hundred or a thousand people could achieve.

>>712824565
i mean it's basically leaves V disabled. in the world of cyberpunk, cyberware is used to do literally everything. you cant even buy or pay for food without your cyberware so not having implants at all makes you basically disabled in that society

>>712824440
Oh, you mean that ending where you get fucked by Arasaka
>>712824565
I thought about that ending and it makes no sense at all
You've already done enough to be a fucking legend and lived a pretty good life before all those implants too

I agree, it's the one thing I hate about Cyberpunk.
When I hear someone tell me how great the story was, I know I'm talking to an absolute tastelet and probably a fucking moron.

It's edgy millennial writing: the game.
The writers of Cyberpunk are the Coldsteel the Hedgehog kids all grown up.

>>712824746
Not really, no. That ending occurs before you do any of the shit at Arasaka tower. V isn't a legend in that ending. A notorious merc for sure, but not a legend.

Cyberpunk and it's themes were established before you were even a glint in your father's eyes.

>its up to you to learn that it isnt cool or worth it
V thinks it's cool and there's nothing you can do about it

>>712825182

the game makes it pretty explicit that everyone is working for the corps, whether they know it or not. everything leads back to them.

>I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE COOL INVINCIBLE HERO OR ELSE IT'S BAD WRITING
It's amazing how utterly brainless the average /v/irgin is. Imagine playing a game for a hundred hours and not understanding the most fundamental aspect of its story that you're literally told over and over again.

>>712824058
It's called cyberpunk not cyber stoic dweeb

>>712823637 (OP)

Incels are so depressed, lonely and don't care for their legacy that they see V, a literal street kid with nothing to his name completly forgotten who if he was shot there wouldn't even be a police investigation, and they think "Woah, he wants to be famous and go out in a bang in a society that values dying in a cool way? That's such bad writing!"

Notice how it's always sexless incels who will never reproduce the ones who don't care about legacy at all. Not becuase your anime girls will not remember you when you join the suicide statistics it means everyone should fade away.

>>712825316
I didn't say anything about good endings, though. I'm talking about the quality of the writing itself. If you want to read some good edgelord fiction, go read Bakker or something.

There's good cyberpunk and bad cyberpunk writing, though, and this game has the latter.

>>712825316
>Life is bad because a big evil guy is selling you cool stuff
That's the problem, world of 2077 isn't that depressing or bad
It's not Deus Ex where things are actually pretty sad

It's the same in real life. Every little act of rebellion is a product you can buy. Look how much money it costs to live "off grid".

>>712825438

Again, I didn't say anything about that you fucking moron. Learn to read. Don't lump my post in with OPs just because we both agree the quality of the writing fucking sucks. I could care less about the tone being dark, only that it sucks ass.

they feed this shit to people on purpose. its how we have the modern left comparing their protests to star wars and handmaids tale. it makes the people feel like they are fighting back against their oppressors without actually posing a threat.

>>712824698
Those monks seemed fine.

>>712825645
All you said was that it's edgy and that everyone who likes it is a moron. Your post was worthless and added nothing of worth. The only path left is to assume what you actually meant.

It's not even your character's story -- you're just a stand-in for Keanu Reeves. I hate that shit. You don't make a single-player RPG with a character creator and then make me a supporting actor in my own character's story. The concept itself is dogwater garbage.
The only interesting story in the game is the guy who Jesus's himself.

>>712825007
Because having one good ending is worse.

It's always the same shit too.

>do or say specific things at specific times, missable without a guide
>build up affinities with certain, or all, NPCs
>complete specific timed sidequests, some in certain ways where a guide is needed
>failure to do one singular objective locks you out of the good ending

I'd much prefer having zero good endings to finding out my entire playthrough was a waste of time because I didn't say the right thing to some random NPC 20 hours ago.

>>712826119

>>712825580
its still a dystopia. youre either richer than god, or living in squalor. there is no middle class in night city. gangbangers operate in broad daylight, and a non-dirty cop is a unicorn. the setting just focuses more on the masses turning to distractions and escapism to ignore the hell they live in.

>>712825580
>world of 2077 isn't that depressing or bad
bruh you have corporations openly going to war. crime all over the streets. megacorps trying to reverse death so they can rule forever, massive world wars before all of this. actual fucking AI demons in the blackwall trying to get into the real world. mind controlled politicians being gangstalked. shit is beyond fucked dude.

We just gonna ignore the only Cyberpunk you consider "good writing" are those that revolve around anime girls, naked women, lonely incel autist Ryan Gosling or that pedo anime character Cyberpunk anime has?

You don't actually care about writing do you... you're just mad the game didn't focus on your fetishes and lonliness.

The world of 2077 actually is pretty fucking shit. Corps are doing horrible evil shit all the time and if you're not rich enough to live in a high rise and buy Jinguji you're living in a crime riddled shithole, at least in any city. Just think about the news broadcast that plays every time you start the game and how bombastic the guy is about there being like 30 homicides the day before alone.

>>712826227
I don't know what fantasies you're making but the world building of CP2077 is no different from GTA or any other modern setting.
It did the dystopia part very, very, very poorly.
Every single thing that happens in CP2077 happens in real life, i'd say real life has even worse things happen.

>>712826335
In a world where people can replace body parts this makes no sense at all.

Maybe go outside?

Can’t even be mad.
Not like its a new game.

Dunno why everyone thought the game was dooming you to a quick death chasing fame when one of the main choices you get is to just say "fuck all this meat shit, I'm gonna go become an internet demon" and you get taken to live in the internet forever as a fucked up internet lifeform.

Two of the other endings are vaguely open-ended "and then you live a bit longer and who knows what happens?" anyway. You don't even die in almost every ending. Maybe they could have stuck closer to the theming because the game is really unwilling to actually condemn you to death.

>>712826335
>b-b-b-but what about this single tranny flag in a sidequest you might never see in a 60 hour game
I reiterate: Hang yourself you worthless retarded nigger. Go fight your gay fucking culture war somewhere else. Sick of you fucking faggots.
>>712826593
It doesn't, but CDPR are still Polish eurocucks at the end of the day and it's to be expected. It's ultimately not really a big deal and is located in an optional quest you can completely avoid. There was a mod to remove it like day fucking 1 anyway.

>>712824647
>If a handful of people can nuke a corpo building imagine what fifty, a hundred or a thousand people could achieve.
Nothing because combat operatives that can nuke a corpo building are one per ten million normalfags.
Masses never "achieve" anything, all impactful changes are done by a small, disciplined, well-armed force, who then spreads bullshit mythology about masses rising up.

And that no longer makes you trans?
Do you realize that to be trans you need to be born as one sex and transition into the other?

Or are you such a porn addict you think if the tranny passes enough it's no longer considered trans?

>>712826871
It's shown that V can be cured in the NUSA ending. It's not unreasonably to assume that V can find another way to fix the relic killing them elsewhere. It's not 100% doom and gloom.

I'm sorry you transbians with your dyke fetish didn't get a happy ending. On the plus side you can keep replaying to pretend you're a woman.

literally no one said that. existence is suffering, but cyberpunk is an actual hellscape filled with pretty colors to help you cope. at least in real life i can walk to the grocery store without having to shoot people, buy meat harvested from a real animal, and not have to take a prescription so my body doesnt shut down because a cellphone is jammed in my brain.

>i can walk to the grocery store without having to shoot people,

Because you don't like in Detroit, or New York. Or USA really, or Mexico, or Colombia.
And you even have a store to go visit because you don't live in Venuezla.
And you even have a country to begin with and you're not being drafted to die for Ukraine or have Israel bomb your house.

The reality is that Cyberpunk 2077 is just gta, it even has daytime, 99% of it is desert. Do you know how you fucking write a dystopian world? You make actual ridiculous dystopian shit like Lorax having a corporation SELLING YOU AIR. You do shit like the Simpsons with Burns trying to block out the sun.

There's no difference between Cyberpunk 2077 setting and modern USA.
Deltarune has more rape and pedophilia than CP2077

>>712824647
>imagine what fifty, a hundred or a thousand people could achieve
literally every time this has happened throughout history the end result was an even worse system

>>712823637 (OP)
While whether or not Johnny achieved anything is debatable, but the actual idea of dying in a blaze of glory vs fading away is the central theme of the game. If anything my only problem with the writing is how much the main story beats you over the head with the concept.

Hell, they even made an ending specifically for people like you, where you can become a faceless nobody and live a long life forgotten by everyone except Reed maybe.

>>712827260
>What are you transitioning from

From the male body you originally had?
Or do you think the past doesn't matter?
Do you understand the definition of trans? Do you understand what being born male and transitioning into female means?

I repeat, passing does not negate the fact you were born male. You don't stop being male becuase you use videogames to pretend you're a woman for example.

>>712827404
Johnny is an anarchist and not a very smart one.

I just got done with the vacant mall mission of this game and I think I’m about done. I being sincere when I ask this, but is the rest of the game going to be the same? Endless amounts of conversations or cut aways to Keanu being “cool” and fucking a groupie who ends up dead? Then getting a call from Judy and finding out Evelyn killed herself? I must be 20 hours or more into the game and it still feels like I’ve gotten nowhere. Even playing as Johnny and blowing peoples heads off with his pistol didn’t feel satisfying. Am I missing something here?

>>712824959
Ackshually, that was Morgan Blackhand

>or New York. Or USA
i lived in new york city for a year and a half. never had to shoot anyone, never been in a situation where i would want to shoot someone, never saw anyone shot. i still live in the us and all that applies to my current area.

im sorry you live in a fucking ghetto where people are dying around you at all times, but maybe consider moving? reality isnt a utopia and there are still bad places, but theres a lot of good places too. try a city with fewer browns.

>>712824698
>i mean it's basically leaves V disabled. in the world of cyberpunk
You turn from a pavement ape with a really good combat gear that will eat the bullet or die from cyberpsychosis in a few years even by most optimistic scenario, to a someone with a cushy place in one of setting's powers that owes you a lot. In all likelihood you now have your own goons who replace their body parts with combat gear until they die from cyberpsychosis. You made it as big as such a former pavement ape can get, and made it out of high0-tech Somalia alive. Effectively this is one of two properly conclusive endings, the other being the one where you enter cyberspace. Everything else just leaves you as a "solo" aka an unofficial disposable corporate goon who will turn into a drink after untimely death.

>>712827575

>>712827483
You are talking about being trans in the REAL world, not what being trans means in the world of 2077. In 2077 "trans" would be an archaic term because gender is a matter of personal choice and budget.

>Whole game about going out on your own terms and mark you leave after your death.
Game fucking hammers you over the head and you chu2s still don't get it.
Like if you want happy sunny ending where everything is forever ok and Keanu reeves sucks you while you ride off into sunset with your waifu it wouldn't be cyberpunk.

Dude you never leaving your house doesn't mean New York isn't bad, every day a homeless man stabs you in the subway, every day you have blacks looting or walking around naked threatening people. There was trendy tiktok not long ago of a black man going around slapping women on the street.

So i repeat, you think it doens't matter that person was born male becuase they had enough money to buy female parts?

You do realize past and reality matters, right?

In your head, what's the difference between a real life tranny who never reveals he was male before, and an in game tranny who never reveals he was male before? Why one is more valid than the other in your head?

The bad part is not you getting cured, the bad part is the world and everyone in it moving on. The only people who even remotely still give a shit about you in that ending are Viktor and Reed.

>>712825535
>in a society that values dying
Lmao whare did you get that idea retard?
Ancap smiley society doesn't value dying, it's not a theocracy with a death cult warrior caste. Ancap smiley society values only wealth and power. You play as a tard who wants wealth and power, but has no other way to get some than cutting away parts of his body and replacing them with weapons, so he could do corporate jobs that corporates don't want to do directly. Tard wants to be rich, and he sure as fuck doesn't want to die. He's just so worthless, he has no issues risking his worthless life over this.

And yes, retard that somehow wrote "value of dying" into this setting is guilty of bad writing and having no idea what he works with.

>>712826850
the game does have good endings (the sun, the star) so if anything it just reveals how many faggots here didn’t play the game or can’t handle bittersweet endings lmao

Yes? As long as you have the money, the body in CP universe is just another fashion accessory.

None of that actually happens in game. The horrible state of the world is not communicated effectively in the game. Trying to communicate something like that with the kind of game 2077 is is a false start.

>>712827473
I get what you're saying but they just failed
There's no "die in a blaze of glory or become a nobody" thing because the game is pretty open about what's right and wrong
The game blatantly shows your choice of suicide mission as something unambiguously good and your desire to live on as a bad choice

I hope this update adds some stuff. I am not a big game replayer, but like VtM:B I just love the atmosphere and setting of the game and want more excuses to play it again

Did you even play the game and do the quest with those guys? Their problem with cyberware is entirely different than what you imagine it to be.

>Why wouldn't you have sex with a tranny in real life if you think going through surgery makes you a woman and nothing matters?
Not him, but the biggest issue most people have with trannies is that right now we don't have the technology to transform a male body into a female one. The best current medical science can do is an ugly facsimile, a Buffalo Bill wearing a woman skinsuit, but (mostly) under medical supervision.
If a procedure existed to perfectly turn someone into the opposite sex with no externally detectable differences, why would you even care what someone was born as. A pussy is a pussy.

The biggest offender to me was not being able to explore the whole map without doing the main quest, because you must do it to a certain point where the rest of the city gets unlocked, but after that you have a clock in your head, your time is limited, you will die unless you try to fix it, but you are supposed to explore the world, do a shit ton of optional jobs and make money and get fame. It doesn't make any sense.

>>712830420

Is this game actually deep or did it just just wrap itself with a philosophical aesthetic?

>>712830306
Yes but I think they're worse than large melee weapons. However the throwing perk tree effectively gives you infinite knives, a finishing move and it's probably the only build that fully makes use of both slow time implants.

if you do his side quest correctly, you get a really good iconic revolver. if you fuck it up, hes pissed and never talks to you again, until the ending where he calls to beg you to bail him out of jail and sounds very pathetic, and it makes me laugh.
he just comes off as very closeted gay for v, because cdpr didnt make different conversations for the different genders. his interactions are annoying and awkward because of it.

>>712829906
>everyone moves on in every ending, retard. even your romanced companions forget you exist
Your friends all interact with you during the credits in every ending except the DLC one. In Sun and Star your romantic interest is either still with you, or even leaves the city with you. Hell, if you romance Panam, she actually figures out its not you in the ending where you give up your body and promises to hunt Johnny down and find a way to bring you back.

>>712829971
>Holy shit what are you 14?
Feel free to substitute the flat earthers with any other group you consider retarded, if my comparison offends you that much.

>Unlike you, they respect the sanctity of the body and believe in the existence of a soul
So you didn't play the game. Their actual biggest problem with it is the fact that being monks they're not allowed to own material possessions and from their point of view the distinction is unclear for implants on whether they're a part of the body or a device that you own.

>Let me guess, if you lived in Cyberpunk world you would have become a woman already, right? And it's "not trans becuase it's real female parts!"
Why would anyone ever want to be a woman? Don't be retarded, m8.

Getting a drink named after you at the hippest, hoppin'est bar in NC is the coolest shit ever to someone in their early 20's
The whole "Quiet life or blaze of glory" spiel by Dex is given tremendous weight exclusively because you're young and impressionable. Literally everyone who knows more than you, knows that Dex is a bullshitter con artist and says not to trust him.
Trusting almost anyone in the game except Vic (father figure) or Reed (pathologically attached to his americanist ideals) will almost universally get you fucked over.
JS is not cool because he died or because he was a rockerboy, JS is cool because as you learn later, his primary driver for most of what he does is because he was chewed up and spit out by the MIC and corps and doesn't see any kind of future for most people. Part of his story mirrors yours in that he has to learn how to deal with a world where his suicide mission ultimately did almost nothing, and he's pretty much responsible for not only Soulkiller's existence but also the cult of the AI's around Alt.

Reed's ending is bittersweet because you get to live the quiet life without cyberware and you sacrificed and fucked over a bunch of people to do it. It's implied that Rogue did the same thing and sacrificed Johnny, and it's what Songbird is in the process of doing.
To a 23 year old, fucking over all of your friends to go live peacefully is not cool and the game treats it as such because you're supposed to be young and inexperienced and impressionable.

I'd argue that the ones who won't shut up about it don't actually want to change their sex, they just want be special little snowflakes for the attention that gives them and trooning out is the easy way to get there (especially these days).
If anything, should some kind of medical procedure for a perfect sex change become available, I fully expect this subset of trannies to stick to their guns with hormones and the "middle aged man in poorly fitting drag" aesthetic and loudly screech that anyone who uses the new and improved process is not "real trans".

>>712831408
The point I was making is that it's a fundamental exit from the "cool life"
If you take Reeds ending, you're fucking over:
>Johnny unless you completely max his friendship
>Takemura if he's still alive because he's 100% a wanted man
>Hanako if you've met her and agreed to her terms
>Song because although she's fucking you over, you're her only chance to escape
>Blue Eyes because he needs Song
>All of your 'friends' because you vanish for two years into thin air
>anyone whose plotlines you haven't completed
>various people who hate Smasher if you think that you owe them a debt to avenge them
>four MaxTac operators
Basically Reed's ending breaks the illusion that you ever had any friends, and forces you out of adolescenthood
none of your "friends" stick around because you've only known them for a couple weeks at most, nobody's even really that happy for you except Vic. You'll really just end up either disabled or working behind a desk for the CIA which fits the CP universe perfectly

>>712831627
pre-2.0 i had a cool/tech build where i would craft a ton of knives and throw them because they break on hit. post-2.0 the build doesnt really exist anymore because thrown knives automatically return to you. it slowed down the speed of throwing another one, which is a shame because with the stronger sandevistan they also added, a dio build couldve been possible.

not really
Song actually knew from the start, that's why the betrayal is so bad, and why V says "you coulda told me from the start, still woulda helped you"
Part of why Reed is telling you to be very careful in trusting her is because the entire reason he got burned was that Myers decided Song was more important than Reed, so Song burned him and got him nearly killed. Reed is an unreliable narrator, though, because literally any time he gets emotionally invested, he starts fucking things up which is why it seems so half-assed when he's trying to convince you to help him and not get emotional.
Song planned the entire thing from the very start knowing there was only one use of the Militech matrix, she just happened to come across you after becoming aware of you when you reach past the Blackwall to Alt, at which point she starts manipulating you.

>>712832596

Which happens to be multiple whole social strata higher than being a disposable merc who wants to become a drink after death. You become such a merc to make it big? Well, you just did make it big.
If you would ask any IRL merc if he wants to be a merc or perhaps he wants to be an officer working behind a desk in a capital, I think the answer will be immediate and straightforward. I understand that you're looking at a video game, but try to imagine yourself in a position of having to constantly risk your fucking life for a paycheck.

It can be cool, but being forced to think that it's cool is dumb.

Whoever wrote that doesn't understand cyberpunk and is a pathetic simp.

V's supposed to have stars in his eyes, otherwise not much of the game makes sense unless you add a "Far Cry 4" early ending where you tell Dex

The foundational work of the entire cyberpunk genre ends with the protagonist being healed of his neurological issues, finding a woman to marry and then having several children.

>>712833104
I'm always going to be mad about Phantom Liberty, for as much as it got right, the end of its main story is so lame. Reed says Song can't keep blindly running through danger and have everything work out. For it to be a cyberpunk story her luck has to run out. There should've been an ending where once she tells you the cure is a one time thing you should be able to betray her and Reed. It would be completely in line with cyberpunk's themes. Song's luck finally runs out through the player's own choices, you ignore Reed's desires to get his honor back, and get your life back at the cost of hers. Instead you can only help her or get screwed by the NUSA.

cyberpunk is just a derivative of neo-noir, which is just a derivative of noir
it's pretty much a demand of the genre that the protagonist either dies, lives a bittersweet existence permanently maimed, or the story never ends and the ending implies that even worse, bigger battles remain to be fought
Neuromancer is pretty much the 1:1 inspiration for CP2077 in the same way that Blade of the Immortal is the inspiration for Sekiro

It's like you really suck dicks.

>>712836265
>Where does the game imply any of this?
Blue Eyes is entirely behind the personality replacement shit happening to Peralez and warns you not to interfere with anything
Considering that literally almost every other plot point from CP2077 is pulled from Neuromancer, Blue Eyes is most likely an AI controlling a human body. The goal of the space heist is to go pull Mirian Night out of cryostasis and let the AI take full control of the space station and free it, because Miriam Night holds the keys to all of the NightCorp's extra high-tech shit.
The Neural Matrix is the opposite of SoulKiller, while SoulKiller can pull people out of their bodies, the neural matrix can pull AIs from beyond the blackwall, and overwrite personalities on the fly, which is the entire reason why the VDB's were so interested in dogtown, why they wanted to contact Alt, etc. The VDB MO is to bow down to an AI before anyone else can, because they see it as an inevitablity that Roko's Basilisk would happen.
Song is not in a condition to deliver the Neural Matrix to Blue Eyes alive. There's no reason that they would willingly help her, she shows up totally unconscious in space with exactly what they need. Her only use is as a blackwall stooge, which like Myers, they don't need Song, the person, for.
You're completely precluded from going up there, because you're a risk. As much as Songbird is a walking nuke, so is V, which is why Blue Eyes only ever meets and interacts with you on very specific terms, and AFTER Johnny is removed from you is the only time you collaborate

Unless they completely deviate from the source material and the theme of the game, no one gets a happy ending. Songbird is another tool, she's on death's door delivering the matrix to Blue Eyes, who is most likely a skinwalking AI.

>>712831407

Because you're in the middle of Arasaka country. The only Militech guys allowed in are low level, or spies.

no YOU dont understand OP

dealing with ones own mortality is a profound topic that is worth exploring, only the terminally ill can truly understand the issue and even then not everyone does the same

If you had played the game, you'd have known that it had far reaching consequences (which you learn in the Devil ending)

i know it's popular to hate on obsidian now but if they made the story you would be able to take the matrix and use it to cure yourself as an ending

Game was rushed and took 3 years for a fix and it was done only on the gameplay part.

Where CDPR games shines is not on the main story though, it's in the secondary quests.

any news about the new update?
