It’s interesting how the game really made Johnny grow on me. I started off deeply disliking him and just wanting him out of my head! His abrasive pushiness, his emotional and illogical takes, his misogyny around sex workers like Evelyn. How he called Takemura a dog and mistreated Alt. How he accidentally killed her! I didn’t feel any sentimentality during Never Fade Away or the moment where he stopped to appreciate the guy playing the guitar,
But you go through so much with him and he’s there the whole time. Your stories are intertwined and we get to see his funny side, his tender side, his philosophical side. And by the time I got to phantom liberty I was so sappy about him because he’s written so much like a real person. I even did the temperance ending and I’m at the point I love the guy like he’s my brother and family 😅
Does anyone else feel the same way about Johnny?
