No, I meant that only people that romanced either Judy or Panam can get the "best" ending of the game. If you romanced River or, in my case, Kerry, both of them will break up with you if you choose The Star ending.
Something I did not see in this thread (sorry, I may have missed it) is :
What if the whole game was just to set up the return of Silverhand in the Cyberpunk World, if the only good version was V.'s sacrifice for Johnny to live on ? And V. would only stand for the vessel of Johnny's psyche.
But all in all, I believe most of us agree that the endings delivered are not satisfactory.
The 6 month delay is just uselessly cruel to the character (and to the player) and serves nothing.
We also agree that the story-telling's been cut and re-cut and that is a shame.
I don't know what CDPR is brewing, and I keep hope for the future. But, despite the fact that I enjoyed their work since the first The Witcher and up to The Witcher 3, CDPR is on the verge to tag along with EA and Bioware on my list of studios to forget.

I wondered if Kerry broke up with you in that ending as well. River was... really horrible about it. My V was basically begging him to care because she was dying and he’s just like “well, you knew we weren’t going to get a happy ending anyway, sorry about your luck.” It wasn’t anything like they had set up his character to be, where he stated multiple times he would be there for V no matter what. They literally didn’t have to do it that way at all. It comes back around to any pre-endgame DLC involving River is tainted by the ending. He’s gonna leave me when I’m terminal, what does it matter?
Not if you are CORPO though, it's the ultimate fall from grace story, and it's not even logical at that. Went from being amongst CORPO higher-ups to living in tents in the desert, all in the span of two weeks.
If they don't fix it many people will do the same, I certainly will.
But as they say "Hope is the last thing we have to lose" , I really do hope they fix it but only time will tell.
Yeah yeah, journey matters etc.
Its not the fact everyone dies eventually. It is the game telling us quite explicitly WHEN this will happen.
Not to mention that it feels silly to be stuck at "six months to live" again ,which is the exact point we started off when waking up at Victors, telling us all that.
It is the feeling the whole journey, the whole struggle, the fear and agony we saw with V - was ultimately in vain. All we did go through at Vs side - it ends us at the same point. It is a let down. Maybe to some a "poetic" letdown, "artistic" or something.
To me though? Nah...it just taints the quite good journey as the destiantion is not a nice hotel, but a cheap worn down hostel that has been overused over the years...
As they say in Warhammer 40K, "Hope is an illusion of the mind".
And we all know that hope dies last....

It happens the same for Panam and Judy if we choose to stay in Night City so they are not alone in getting bad endings too.Yeah it does suck for River and Kerry fans. Unfortunately those characters have their roots in the city.
Well, I want to think CDPR is not that lost and they will fix all of this
But I tried the ending where you stay in Night City and the relationship is still in shambles, at least with River it was. Instead of River being the one to say “you knew we weren’t going to get a happy ending,” V says it instead. :/ My V was happier riding off platonically with Panam in the Nomad ending than she was being with River in the Legend ending. There isn’t a happy ending for River and V at all.
Might as well end every movie and game with the main character dying, because that's how life works, right? Also, I'm not sure what exactly do you mean by "lives" because I wouldn't consider a cutscene of my protagonist riding with Panam as "living", especially since I had no control over anything from that point onwards.
The entire game was about the struggle to find a cure that would help you live, and it ended the moment you reached that supposed cure, which wasn't really even a cure.
Remember though, Alt promised 6 months or more, and V has more then a few avenues to find a cure after most of the endings.
I mean they literally coined the phrase Grim Dark. Everyone knows exactly that nothing good ever happens in that universe. And yet... here comes the kicker... even some of the books have actual happy enough endings (Books! They don't support mutliple endings). Who knew right? ^^
The story is about Johnny, he gets the real happy ending. It really never was about V, and I think most people can agree on that... yet no one seems to accept the idea that the story of V might actually be over too
Then they need to fix that up too for you guys
(I did not know about that since I don't romance male npcs, I only play straight male but if they are that bad you guys should get good endings in that too)
that's not true bro, we all get 1 romance.
Straight male V gets Panam
Straight Female V gets River
Lesbian Female gets Judy
Gay male gets Kerry
the joy toys are Bi and so is Meredith too (Also of course you will not bang girls if you are gay, if you are Bi you can bang both toys and Meredith, is the same for everyone)

Well, it's a doomed universe, just like Elric's, or the Warhammer Old World. The setting's however very interesting and open so many trails to follow. There are countless stories to tell in it and that's what make it stong, I believe. That and the "Red goez Fasta" Orks...
I mean its Alt telling us. She could very well be an unreliable source as she is trying to get Vs data to join her. I definitely didn't see the endings as hopeless.
I'm cool with it. The ending of 6 feet under does just this and it's one of the best show endings I've ever seen.
I disagree with what the game is about. IMO the game is about the lie that is the allure of power, materialism, transhumanism, and immortality.
Yep. Because, personally, I didn't care about Johnny. I cared about V.
