[Spoiler Alert] About the endings

I just found a chip that kills me...

Oh, that one is good too

"You can customize your character’s cyberware, skillset and playstyle, and explore a vast city where the choices you make shape the story and the world around you"

What is this game and where can I buy it.
My version on Xbox only allowed me to shoot my guns. My Kerenzikov was bugged, my cyberdeck was bugged, I deleted all personal data and reinstalled the game, created a new V and the features were still not functioning.

I think it is not finished yet

I think it is not finished yet

Clearly.

 

[Eakani]

Clearly.

Reading the description after finishing the game gives a bitter aftertaste

Seriously, you really are infuriated by the whole fact that all the content is pre-ending. You would hate Fallout: New Vegas.

What exactly makes you want to play past the ending so much? Seriously? This is a question that confuses me.

Why is that important?

in fallout new vegas you don't have to engage with the main quest at all, you can literally just go and bum about the whole map, create your own story without the narrative because you don't have a sentient poker chip doing a jig on your hypothalamus the whole time. choosing to finish the game is a choice.
in cp77 I finished the quest so I could go back to being a bum in NC without narrative dissonance and the nuisance calls from the relic.

I have a great idea. Since the player base is obviously crumbling, many people have given up on the game or haven't finished it, there is only a small core of people left who actually give a damn and they are here (and mybe on reddit or gagemfaqs) and they hate the endings. So in case CDPR doesn't want to go the ME:A route and simply abandon the game (but even they had the decency to patch the Jaal romance eg), but indeed want to have a NMS redemption arc, how about starting right here? Give your most loyal fans what they want. Give us better endings. Satisfy the core gamers. And then start rebuilding and we'll gladly help you with word of mouth.

When I look at the option to vent my frustration in the Arasaka ending, I am actually a bit jealous.

Btw. That was not even uplifting in any way, shape or form. It was literally like going through a living nightmare.

While I agree with your sentiment, the argument falls short in regards to money. A core base usually(!) isn't strong enough to support a game. Of course there are exceptions. But this time... it doesn't feel like it would be enough.

Oh and BTW.
When they role you out of the operaton room and you are babbling about tasting violet, the surgions and hellman are talking about if they were able to remove all the tumors.

It looks like V is already suffering from cancer since the chip started rewriting the brain.
But it worked on Saburo... Yeeees..

I've only experienced one Ending so far and only have read about the others. Man, if that's the one 90% of people got... big oof. No wonder they yeet...

And now think about it, that it is the ending everyone gets in a straight story run, could it be the end considered as canon because of that?

Maybe. Johnny is dead and V ist either stored in mikoshis brain-prison or looking down to earth knowing that everything was in vain.

To summarize the vibe in this thread: CDPR is a ***t company and should go bankrupt

While "never fade away" plays in the background... ;-;

Not exactly. It's more like.

CDPRs management threw its designers under the bus and the endings look like a last minute asspull to at least finish the story.

I don't think that's the summarized sentiment. That is more of a kneejerk reaction.

The more differentiated sentiment is: Fix it rather than abandon it. Redemption even.

 

[Hammerstein]

I wish that we could just go "Hahaha I give no fucks anymore" in the Arasaka ending and go berserk and kill Hanako, Hellman, Takemura and Yorinobu. And delete Saburo's engram by planting a bomb in Mikoshi.

That would be a blaze of glory ending. Wiping out the Arasaka clan, their top scientist and blowing up their NC mainframe plus all the engrams they were hoarding.

yeah but it’s not about the core fan base. Players in general dont like endings and find the game hollow in compare to TW3 and/or GTAV.

CDPR is not BioWare that has EA backing not to mention that MEA costs 40mln$ to make while CP77 costs only 350mln$. Add to this fact that it was done on their own engine already used several times (Frostbite) and by B team.
Bethesda could make a flop with FO76 but the same story as with MEA smaller budget, already owned engine used in several games and done by B geam

There is just no other way then go full NMS since i doubt that they could pull any meaningful sales numbers with their “new game” anytime soon.

the fiasco of CP77 is existential crisis for CDPR, literally.

That end has one thing that seems better than the option in the others endings. Mikoshi, i could be very wrong here, but i think the chances are better and Mikoshi isn't a dangerous place like the cyberspace.

Maybe. But you give up all your rights and become company property. After the soulkiller, it's a fade to black.
