[Spoiler Alert] About the endings

[StarkHelsing]

As i said, when people intepret endings in such way, that suicide seems the best choice, yah, something is wrong with them.

I wouldn't even say the people have something wrong with them at this point. More like there's something wrong with the story, where if you know all the endings it's best to just kill yourself so you're not wasting your time and other peoples lives. This is just, yeah... Even I think it's up there with the 'plausible' if these endings stay like that and it's full-on confirmed that V does indeed die in six months.

The world can't be saved, you can't be saved - and all those around you are just going to watch you rot, with your last few weeks in a cot coughing up blood in horrific pain while they watch unable to help.

Yeah... depressing. A fine reward V got.

"Noticing" and "Doing something about it" are not equal actions, ya know?

Well, if they notice this and see that alot of people are asking for the same thing, we got higher chance that they make something, ya know?

To be fair, the way the endings were handled ( no post main game / closure / choices matter ) Im temped to say that choosing to go with suicide is pretty much the same as choosing any other endings, unless you wanna see fluff content... I mean what does one give over the other anyways ? reload to last checkpoint lol

All the seven ends are really dark and sad. Like really. we need a happy ending.


Edit: What do you think of the alternative endings, all of them are sad, and from what I see that people want at least one a happy one, atleast like a Top secret-Easter Egg, at least to achieve it with legendary clothes and level 50, or at least in extreme hard mode. What would be the best idea to fit?

Definitely more complicated than a happy ending, if you take a look at it the game continuously hints at DLCs or a Cyberpunk 2078 lol, one exmaple is the Peralez missions, don't want to spoil so just remember that there's someone out there that hacked you as if it were nothing, then there's the endings themselves, except the devil's endings pretty much every ending points to a what's to come, even the "secret" ending, I'd argue that the secret ending hints at it the strongest since CP 2077 is nothing more than the continuation of Alt's and Johnny's story in night city, whole game feels more like the intro of V into cyberpunk world and how Alt and Johnny wrap their story with arasaka rather than V being the main character of the game

This is why those endings are bad in their current state. Illusion of choice, no clear ending.
I'd rather have a single nicely crafted ending (even finishing with a glorious death, whatever) than 7+ overcomplexified alternatives leading nowhere.

Talking about "closure" is an interesting choice of word. Feels like something's missing after a trauma.

We can only guess considering how current endings are. One thing for sure, endings that we got now got no closure neither are open ended, they just, well, kinda there

People wanna know if the character they love will come for more adventures/sequels or is it thrown out like trash.

I would take the GameStar article with a grain of salt.
They are my favorite source for information on upcoming releases and I watched every single Cyberpunk video they released.

Firstly
In one of the previews they talked about how many sidequests have an impact on the ending (expect Panam blatant lie) and even told us the Delamain questline had a huge impact. In general they hyped up this game by a lot. The conspiracy theorist inside me screams paid promotion.
Still love these guys though.

Secondly, it is common practice to release an article and change the date of it with every small update
or grammar edit. The comments dating back to August just cement further that this article was published in summer and is just updated every now and then.

And lastly you cannot compare this released game to the pre-release hype. There is always the possibility for changes if there is enough backlash (see Triss changes in Witcher 2, ME3 extended cut, Fallout 3 ending DLC)
This thread is on its way to 500 pages and new people who finished the game and feel empty pour in every day.
There will be more and more the more bugfixes we get, because everyone will have the motivation and be able to finish the game.

True that, I just think CDPR aimed for something akin to bioware did with the ME trilogy, still remember ME1 and 2, those ended rather open as well, also, there's Cyberpunk Red out there and there are some hints into more material coming related to 2077's story, if we're lucky we may even have something like what Drew Karpshyn did in ME with the novels and added material which just made the whole universe of that game be a bit cooler.

And @Froste29 the delamain quest DEFINITELY feels like it's attached to Altiera's progression from were she ended up from 2020, if you go for Johnny's choice there's a lot more to unravel with Delamain after 2077

If is as you say, well CP 2078 will be a game with V as main character. But this will be a big scam from the devs.
The game litteraly released now, and if they still leave us like this, will be sad, and they will definetily lose the affection and trust of the players. Will be a bad marketing move

ME2 had like one of best endings in RPG, not because it was insanely epic [tough it was, ending was one big mission] but because players choices actually MATTERED. It was up to player how it all ended and that's how it should be. CDPR promised same thing with CP77 many times in media, yet they didn't delivered. Player choices doesn't matter.

Instead of ME2 we got ME3 with 7 colored-raibow endings. All equally crappy.

Oh yes, definitely, well at this moment the options are virtually endless, think about it, you can even go from any of the endings but the story moves forward from the triangle between Alt-Arasaka-Johnny to a more world involving setting such as the AIs, Netwatch itself and the corpos and even darker groups -remember that V himself was hacked as if it were nothing in a certain mission in which they mention that they know what he is and what he has- while also either having V saving his life and bringing back his friend because there's more to have or even viceversa, hell, at this moment I can even crack a joke and laugh at it while thinking that Gary may have been right and THE ALPHA CENTAURI TECHNOMANCERS WILL APPEAR NEXT rofl (that gary reminds me of alex jones so much)

Agreed, completetly agreed, even though ME3 with all dlcs felt awesome, but hey, that's just with all DLCs, if CP77 at least had a mordin moment, or a wrex moment, it might've felt as a great game (just feel like not actually be one)

 

[Simuxas]

As much as they say that main story is done, I kind of have juge doubts. You don't put so much time in the wrold, characters, especially V, just to kill it off in the first game. Makes no sense no matter how you look at it. Unless they go scummy Rockstar way, and forget SP completely and make another grinding online shitshow full of cheaters.

Ah ye you are talking about the president mission (don't remember the name) where you are gonna talk to him and they hack you during the phone call. I was really disappointed for that mission, I really would know how it ends. I still need to few side missions and random encounters, so maybe they will show the end there, I hope. If not this will be another disappointment for me.

Don't wanna be too pesimistic but looking at what CDPR management is doing it's actually possible.

I don't how what you guys think about multiplayer, but I really think that they should wait, fix the single players, the endings and the dlc. When everything is done, they should go ahead and focus on multiplayer. But if they leave main story like this... Bruh, if they dump it like this... will be really, really sad.

Companies only think about money, rarely about reputation, so, quite possible we might get totally screwed

Yep, that's the one, bet that anyone that's played the game for a while and went through that mission was left like "ok... what now?" Just like with delamain's quest, think that River's mission was the only one that closed rather well, although a choice in which YOU take matters into your hands would've been interesting-

Also MP is where the money or at least the attention's at lately so it's a huge possibility, worrisome too, but even then the game is still way buggy for it to be even a passable MP game for the moment
