The thing about human tenacity is that some will do anything to save themselves, but some will do anything to save the world. I just hope Cyberpunk2077 gives V that chance in some way.
Because he is willing to sacrifice people left and right, to get to his end goals. People are just resources to him. Human resources. Which is to say, Johnny may spew anti-corpo rhetoric, but in practice he's like a one man mega-corp.
It's like the big man himself - Max Mike - said in the old trailer. Cyberpunk is not about saving the world, it's about saving yourself. It's about survival in a society that has reached a dead end.
Cyberpunk is not a heroic tale of triumph against an evil empire, like in Star Wars or some other saccarine Disney property. It's an accurate portrayal of neo-feudal society and the power of the average peasant/punk or group of peasants/punks to change that; None whatsoever.
What's compelling about cyberpunk, is that however bad things get, life goes on. It's ultimately about human tenacity and will to survive. And the ability for people to carve out a little piece of joy, out of a shitty situation.

The thing about human tenacity is that even if failure is 100% guaranteed, they will try anyway. And then against all odds, sometimes they will succeed somehow anyway. This is the story of humanity, and it has repeated itself since the beginning of time.There is a vast diffrence between trying and succeeding.

This is also true, but it's also important to acknowledge that fact that there are many different both good and bad human beings of all kinds from all places, throughout every part of history with their own ideas and definitions of what saving the world means to them.There's a reason the road to hell is paved with "Good" intentions. Many fools believe they're trying to "save the world" very arrogantly. Work on helping people in small ways. That's the only real way to help. Every single time a human gets arrogant enough to spout "trying to save the world" it always ends badly in real life. We humans are small creatures who think we are titans keeping hubris, like that we see in Johnny, in check is important. As his path would end up "destroying the world" with his short-sighted "good intentions"
The New United States fills the void, don’t know if it would be better than the Mega Corps but it certainly would not be worse.Is it? It's hardly different from reality. An idiot can destabilize a highly sophisticated and functioning society with a little charisma to get the ignorant and unthinking to join their cause. Of course I have no reason to see said idiot as a hero while still enjoying a game he's a part of. Keeping corruption in check that's heroic. Punishing villains that's heroic. Trying to topple society killing many million and inevitably leading to slavery and destitution of millions more. That's not heroic. However like I said I can enjoy the game even with a false hero. Morgan Blackhand is the only real hero I know of in this game.
