When all 7 hands that are dealt , the same, I would say game is pretty rigged.
The story is good for a movie or a book that I would only want to consume once for a long time. But this is meant to be a replayable/explorable video game. I don't wanna relive this story any more than once.
No doubt. The endings are cut short to lessen the story, with so much more to give. And the result is #rapedemotions. We paid for a ticket on this journey, only to breakdown halfway through and have the driver go home in a taxi, leaving the rest of us in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere.
Not in night City, you dont bocome a legens by being good person
But now we have mass effect 4 teaser, where smb think shepard is alivei have make both no Arasaka Ending ... ending with Nomad style de most happy but .. yes both end are sad ... really dont like the end of this Great game. that remember me Mass effect 3 ending ..
It's not even hard. If only the game was actually about V and NOT Johnny. What we got feels disjointed; a complete mess when it finally gets to the end.
It might as well be writing 101. It's not that hard to write a redemption arc, but apparently they forgot how to do that. No, maybe they didn't. Maybe they just don't know how to write Cyberpunk, again, dark for dark's sake. It's like they had some checklist, "okay this is going to be a cyberpunk story we need this, this and... this. Alright. Got it.". Frankly, these endings wouldn't even make a good novel, the more I think about it. At best an average, passable work.
If I am reading as annoyed, it's because I am. If you're a regular of this thread, you know what Johnny Silverhand talk does. The thing is, like I outlined in my two earlier posts, they could have made a proper redemption arc, where your friendship with Johnny actually mattered (also never have added the assault scene; unnecessary). We could have had such a better ending to our story, and Johnny's story too.
My feelings too. Independent of the game, yeah I would absolutely eat this stuff up if it were on the big screen, but this is something we are meant to be able to sink hours and hours into, with meaningful connection and reward
As I said before, in my playthrough Jhonny didn't make himself look redemable. I decided to take Arasaka's brain surgery so i don't have to kill my soul in the process. I wasn't planning to sell my soul to Araska, i was using them as much as they were using me. In the end I decided to return to Earth with my cancer rather than sign their contract. But I was given no closure after the credits.
Cant disagree with this. Also characters do get a little closure, but man those messages in Credit scenes were realy sad
my V didn't want to become a legend, she just wanted to get by. I said as much to Jackie in the last car ride, to the girl in Clouds, and then proved myself to be a decent person with every action I took.
No better than in ours.
Spiritualism isn't magic, divination is.
Trusting Araska. Why would I want to let Jhonny live and me dies? At least I get chance here. It's my body. He had his chance, he screwed it up in previous life. He doesn't deserve to live over anyone else. Especially him
Also I am glad you are in minority.
Yeah this is why I had to redo the arasaka's ending twice to find that kinda closure, there's a moment when you can remove a gun sitting next to Yorinobu. The first time I removed it and ended in the space dump, I thought, maybe if the gun remains he's going to kill himself making Honoka the next in line to control the corp but nope no changes T__T
Until you realise that your V died the moment you got connected to Alt, and the version you see with Panam at the end might as well be someone else entirely.
Well i cant blame you, i look at this from diffrent perspective. You either think people are redeemable or not
maybe if we stand before a mirror and repeat "Fallout New Vegas" 3 times a better rpg will suddenly appear...
I said my opinion to this point so many times, thats original V and i am not going to prove it again sorry)
I didn't feel like i got any closure in my ending. I didn't get to see my friends and Kerry in person. Only through sad voicemails. Then i was put back into an earlier save where I can do visit those characters, but cannot address what I've just went through. The reload to earlier checkpoint imo felt almost like an insult. Very bad gameplay choice imo. Would have been even better if they just put me back to main menu imo.
