That literally kills any arguing about: V has to die, it is Cyberpunk Genre

Not only is it a weak argument, but it's also not even true. They are just trying to come up with reasons to like to endings or defend cdpr because, to them they can do no wrong
What I would like to say, every time a fixer calls me:
"Dear Sir or Madam, please don't call this number unless you have a mission for me which puts me in contact with a genius brain surgeon or the world's best biotech scientists. Kthxbye!"
"Dear Sir or Madam, please don't call this number unless you have a mission for me which puts me in contact with a genius brain surgeon or the world's best biotech scientists. Kthxbye!"
Much to say about it.
When you think NCPD, think the Detroit Police Department of Robocop. Underfunded, understaffed, exhausted, with their lives on the line, the policemen are not up to the job, with violence and criminality skyrocketing. So, some neighborhoods are rather well patrolled, and others are simply forsaken. The system is also corrupt, the badges are somewhat willing to get a bit more €bucks.
Corporate offices are under the protection of extraterritoriality, just as an embassy is nowadays. The police has no right to intervene in a Corp main office unless the government (DoJ) decide so. Yep, Corps are the equal of countries (and sometimes are even better).
The Silverhand event you refer too is not a terrorist act but a rescue mission to recover a NC citizen from a foreign territory where she was detained against her will. Besides, no one in NC would shed a single tear over Arasaka. The NCPD does not care, not its jurisdiction, and Arasaka has nothing to gain in pursuing Johnny and friends. One because Thompson has every evidence of Arasaka crimes and Two because Johnny is a worldwide star and on a word of him, some worldwide riots may erupt against Arasaka.
Sorry, but this background and lore just hold.
Fixers are helpless too, they suffered from CDPR themselves)

Okay, if the corps territory are foreign land for NCPD, then i agree.
If that was the only ending V had, sure I wouldn't have trouble finding the believable. Putting it in context with the other endings, especially the Arasaka one, what I find hard to believe is that Panam knows more and/or has better contacts than Hanako and Hellman.
I guess you could make the case those two are just messing with V and intentionally holding back treatments that would work but I didn't get that impression, the game tried to make them seem rather genuine in their attempts to save V. Unless I missed something in which case feel free to explain.
Alt says nothing about the cure, she only conducts diagnostics. She's not a medical bot, she does not know whether there is a cure or not. For the past 50 years, she has been in the network behind a firewall.
Helman is not talking about curing cancer, but about what to do with the chip. Alt has already solved this problem.
Vik does not say that there is no cure, he, on the contrary, tells V to look for a solution to the problem.
It's still an open ending.
Check, i was a bit slow
You're right, close to it.The promise Cyberpunk 2077 needs to live up to is the promise that the player can control their fate in a broken and dystopic system. With Covid-19, income inequality, and politics that feel broken, it’s an escape that has a lot of appeal
In a world where people are feeling increasingly powerless, Pondsmith sees the message of hope inherent in the cyberpunk genre. “The thing that I love about cyberpunk inherently is that it's about paying attention, and dealing with things. If you use the technology and your knowledge right, you can make it better. You can’t just let the boostergangs roll over your community, or you’re going to let a microtech tear down your apartment building to put up a microwave tower,” he says.
Question I would have though, is it genuine growth as a person for Johnny or is it because he finds himself in a different body, with different hormones and brain chemistry that is changing him and the way he thinks and feels. Especially if V is female.
Also interesting. Is there any reference to the canon, which says that any cyberpunk hero must die?
Just wondering. Or maybe I've watched and played the wrong cyberpunk over the past 20 years.
Nah, we have every reason to doubt the nomads might know the people who might help. They might, in theory, but to make this really believable CDPR should shed some more light. For example, mentioned some people or organizations, who definitely can help, like Biotechica. I mean, establish some lore throughout main plot, so in the end we, players, say like "Right, that guys can actually help, it is a common knowledge".
The problem of copy V is well shown in Gunnm Last Order, when you see than even a perfect copy of Gally isn't the same person a Gally (and it's even more see-able as the original survive).
even if there wasn't an 8th ending in the beginning, this would be an elegant way to patch one in without admitting that all the other endings were shit.In my dreams I hope they come out with some kind of communicate like ...
"Dear players, Due to the bugs in Cyberpunk we realized nobody was able to trigger the 8th ending, therefore the patch 1.7 is fixing this issue, be patient"
MOD REQUEST - V's life. (Spoiler topic)
SPOILER ALERT! V's death in 6 months due to "DNA incompatibility" is total idiocy from many points of view.

And people on Nexus ask, why would someone hate 6 months crap.
Guys and gals, if you please, a little support will be nice.
Pondsmith writes RPGs for about 40 years, in different settings and genre.
I think he has more forgotten about RPG, entertainment and storytelling than CDPR have ever known so far...
not sure about storytelling...storytelling in the Witcher series was pretty great....which makes this mess even more unbelievable.
