I feel pretty happy leaving with Judy and the Aldecaldos.

Yea after learning that Panam wasn’t a lesbian, the ending was already doomed.

What about The Star ending? That’s actually considered to be one of the happier endings in the game >! leaving Night City with Panam and the Aldecaldos. It provides a sense of hope and a more positive outlook as compared to other endings!<

I dunno Star seemed hopeful. (At least by Cyberpunk standards)

I feel like Dexter DeShawn told us that was the case. No happy endings in Night City.

Idk man, leaving with Panam and the Aldecados hopeful to find a cure in Europe wasn’t too sad of an ending. 6 months to live, travelling with your lover and friends is a better way to spend your last moments than a lot of people in life get, especially people with the 2077 verse.

Soloing arasaka isn’t

My first ending back then and I ended up in space with Arasaka.. What an ending man holy shit. It was soo depressing.
In CDPR games I always get the “worst ending” in my first playthrough. Happened in W3 too, gut wrenching.

Welcome to Cyberpunk.

That’s the cyberpunk genre for ya. High tech, low life.

Yup some people say according to them some ending are good but in the end every ending is sad in someway

Hmmm…. The star ending you get to leave NC with Judy… it’s the closest thing to a happy ending I’ve seen with this game…

the real ending is Hanako still waiting at embers in 100 years
Forsaken-Society5340
That’s the point

Dunno, V getting transferred to Mikoshi as a thank you for rescueing Saburo seems like a happy ending. Although V has nightmares before, getting rid of the damaged body opens up the possibility to get another body in the future and live on. Certainly better than getting the diagnosis of having a terminal illness with no way to rescue yourself from it otherwise.

I think that’s why I love this game so much
Ok_Reception_8361
I do agree but for me : The Sun or Dont fear the Reaper have always been kinda positive, yeah its still a hopeless death basically , but you go out with a huge boom , yea who knows maybe it wasnt a big boom but i like to believe that V cashes out heavy and has a great rest of her time..

That is the point, yes

There is one theme they didn’t aggressively push till the end. “There are no happy endings in Night City”
Gonna put a spoiler on this next part because it’s a shit load of them and some people need to experience all of this
>!In order of learning a the characters and their deaths!<
>!First we got Jackie, our charismatic brother who just wanted to be a living legend. Wanted to give a better life for his mom. And in the end, he died!<
>!Not only we are dealing with the pain of losing Jackie, we are fighting an uphill battle to get rid of the relic and live a full life!<
>!Johnny and Alt, Johnny sees her dead lifeless body not being able to do anything so he crashes out and attacks Arasaka direct for revenge!<
>!Evelyn, being forced to have sex just to live long enough for someone to save her, even after we save her, she kills herself because the pain is to much!<
>!Scorpion, he was just wanting to help Panam and her new friend. Being a big brother to her and died for it!<
>!Saul, depending on your ending. He give his life just to help save yours because he will always platonically love and trust Panam!<
So in short, there are no happy endings in cyberpunk.
A little side rant, what I love so much about CD Project Red’s story telling is they will follow a theme. Witcher was always “the lesser evil” both bad choices but one is 1% less worse than the other. And with Cyberpunk, they made it so no matter how hard you try, you still will fail >!but you will be missed when you’re gone!<

Well yeah it’s cyberpunk, no happy endings is kind of a staple

Except for Don’t Fear The Reaper ending
No_Proposal_3140
The first ending I got was don’t fear the reaper into temperance. I still think that’s THE ending. The most legendary combat achievement of them all in lore. In that ending it can’t be disputed that V is the strongest to have ever lived since you get zero assistance. And then V’s engram escapes into eternity. Well we don’t know what happens after that but if V is given a chance then they will succeed. If there’s one person that can succeed in the most oppressive of environments then it’s V.
Johnny can live out the rest of his life. He learned a lot from V. Also that line about not needing a souvenir hit me hard. “How could I forget you, V? I see your face in the mirror every day.”

Stars, and the Sun are the best endings imo
Because In both a sign that you’re either enjoying your life for what’s left of it or fighting your end by jumping into the Blue Eyes White Manions scheduling.
And I find both of those to be better off
Sadly Judy and Panam leave you in the Sun, while Kerry and River leave you if you go Stars.
But I didn’t see that as a bad thing for Jody at least. She finds her true love we know in the tower. Our relationship was trauma bonded at best imo
