Me too, I just don't like it when I have to speculate on them in an AAA game. However, I do not like this - oddly enough it is said, since I am doing this for the first time. I don't remember such a failure with the endings, ME3 was surpassed.
I would have liked for that to be the case, but I'm just basing my opinion on what in front of me and not hope.
V is not the main character in the game, Johnny is, and V doesn't get to have a happy ending, Johnny does.
There is no reason to believe that cdpr would change how they view V, they must have ideas in mind for other characters. That is not a reason to leave the base game as it is now though
If these freaks had said that at 2, and not at 110 hours of play, I would have had time to make a refund.
Characters yes. stuff like Arasaka/Militech no. It’s like choosing in the TW3 is Emphyr alive or not or Redania exists or not.
On Skyrim forum threads were like “Empire vs Stormcloaks” “story of Alduin” “how the future war Aldmeri Dominin will look like”
Same on FO4 “Minutemen vs BoS” “Valentine is such a great character” “Shoun was a little bit forced”
TW3 “Ciri empress vs Ciri Witcher” and so on..
Then there were ME forum and now is CP77.

We will just have to see. Hopefully everyone will be here to defend their points of view laid out today once we see what CDPR actually does with the story DLCs/expansions.
The convention to be accepted is to respect the background of the game your video game comes from. I don't need an explanation for the tech in cyberpunk, or any-other genre, as I don't need an explanation for magic in fantasy settings. I simply observe that CDPR takes a shortcut to avoid the obvious ending of immortality in the net.
Well, it's not for me. 6 months of decaying and slowly losing your mind is not an open ending. V's got a fit each time 24h revolve in game time, and it's not going to improve.
The good way to play that game is first, clean the map and second, go for the story.
And I don't believe there will be a DLC, considering the large amount of stuff lacking or cut from the game.

So let's agree we disagree. You want to see hope where I don't see any.
So. Either the arasaka ending is canon or the other two "survival" outcomes are.
Why? In the arasaka outcome, V's brain was diced and nobody mentioned even the vague possibility for a cure. In addition, johnny silverhand is gone.
On the contrary, V has the possibility of a cure mentioned in the other 2 "survival" endings. In both of these endings, the world looks more or less the same. Johnny silverhand is at alts side and given what a pain in the ass he is, I highly doubt he would not say alt what he thinks.
It would. Be relatively easy to continue the story of V from those 2 outcomes.
All engram endings (bar arasaka) could be used as a starting point as well. Although I would like to see the motivation behind V returning to the realm of the breathing...

Cdpr have shown that they are directing their attention towards multiplayer and microtransactions, but I'll be happy knowing that it will most likely be a failure
You don't get to have GTA Online's success without having a fraction of the fundamentals that made the game great in the first place
I'm not talking about the forum, I'm talking about the game.
Why should I speculate endings instead of playing them?
This is a shitty move.
Indeed, gta 5 was released with all content and working fine.
While CP2077....
You can also be in both camps: believing there will be post-credit DLC/future V content and thinking this was a poor ending.
Act 2 DLC would require Keanu to come back for voice lines unless they put in a bit about taking the pills to suppress Johnny which would be so transparent as to be insulting. Post-credit would mean not needing to bother with it at all, which makes sense.
But also I’m burnt out on playing terminal V looking for a cure. The endings set you up for content doing more of the same and there’s still not a guarantee they’d give you a cure or a new body at the end, kicking off the next wave of grumbling. Carrot on a stick, except when you think you figured it out they just hit you with the stick and it wasn’t actually a carrot but some orange styrofoam.
Also obligatory observation regarding the massive approval of the endings on Reddit/YouTube: a Venn diagram of the people that chose the romanced Panam/Judy camping trip ending and people who think the endings are perfectly hopeful is very nearly a circle.

Are you kidding ?
V is a mercenary. V kills, abduct steals anything or anyone for eddies.
The only thing CDPR cared to put in the game is some gigs against criminal (and NCPD is quite a criminal gang, corrupt as it is). If CDPR had played San Andreas, there would have been some missions to become a kingpin in Night City, and that would fit the setting perfectly.
V. is not a force of good, V's interests are selfish.
NC is not a better place. V has probably the highest body count of the city, but each and every gangman or criminal V offed is replaced in the instant.
Of course, you can always refuse some job because it does not suit your morale. That does not mean V is a character of goodness. That only means that your way of playing V is balanced that way.
it won’t be relatively easy since going with the canon ending will make this game choice less.
Not to mention that every other than Arasaka ending is completely optional. You want to plays this game as a shooter/adventure game? Do a fast run? Sorry, no DLC for you.
If you kill Dex, you can have a new story without having to deal with Johnny at all. I believe this was cut from the game as one of the trailers shows V shooting Dex
That is a fact, not just Reddit you can see it here and on Twitch also
You may have played them that way but that's not the way I did. I suppose the RPG elements come into play them.
This is true but thankfully you have a choice on how you want to play.
Unless you play them as having a Pax Mod, avoiding harming civilians, and protecting the innocent when you find them in trouble.
I killed five people in the game total.
You realize you can kill less people in Night City than pretty much the whole of gaming, right?

Mike Pondsmith said the original pitch was a story about Johnny and Alt Cunningham plus Johnny's death, so that is not going to change anything. If you kill Dex then undoubtedly you'd still do the deal for Evelyn. Either that or you killed Dex AFTER his betrayal. Either way, they made it simpler and the entire game is about the story of saving your life.
I'm pretty sure that you have created a somewhat bizarre equation here.
1. Killing the guy you have an option to cut out of the deal.
2. ???
3. Removing the entire plot of the game.
My assumption is Goro didn't originally kill Dex and you had the option to kill him.
That´s more or less what I want though. V be cured and have a happy romance life(able for all the 4 options), but NC still controlled by Arasaka. Good for V, bad for NC
For the vast majority of people the endings are not bad since most of them believe that they are not the endings just a cliffhanger, because what sane person would consider the end of the story to be either a suicide or slow painful death in the curse of the 6mo. And this is without mentioning current pandemic and biggest economic crisis since WW2.
They made it a gimmick* and since you couldn't save your life they made a pointless story
I'm sure there are many other plots they could have come up with besides the one we got
