This is a thing Goldman I have in common.
On the rare occasion that I replay a game, thats normally exactly what Id do.
But journalistic curiosity demanded I try the new base game ending for myself.
Im glad I did.
Final warning: spoilers for Cyberpunk 2077s many endings begin now.
The chip thats killing you, and the one that contains the recreated Johnny Silverhand.
As choices go, this is lawful evil at best.
Handing her over is to doom her to a life of exploitation and to eventual death.
For that reason, its not the choice I made initially.
As noted, I like stupid courage.
I think shed keep fighting.
This operation turns out to have two major consequences.
First, it kills Johnny Silverhand.
The relationship between V and Johnny begins, and can remain, antagonistic.
Hes not necessarily someone you feel a lot of sympathy for, then.
Making the choice to kill him didnt feel great.
Depending on your relationship with Johnny, it might not feel great to him either.
Either wayit’s crushing, although I think the latter dialogue wins for pure devastation.
StickRow by Jon Brionon repeat and go stare out a window for a while.
The next thing that happens is you wake up in a hospital bed with Solomon Reed waiting for you.
He explains that the operation was successful - hooray, youre no longer dying.
Vs old life is completely gone - and theres no way to get it back.
To prove it, you call your old friends.
Judy has left Night City, for example, and is now happily married in Pittsburgh.
It all amplifies the feeling of alienation from the city you once called home.
Viktor cant fix you either.
Much like V, he chose pragmatism - and at this point who are you to judge.
I dont think it is, though.
Without cyberware, V has no way to defend herself anymore.
I really wished Johnny Silverhand would appear and insult me.
Its Misty, Jackies girlfriend.
To me, the costs are far too high.
But I dont regret making different decisions so I could experience Cyberpunk 2077s new ending for myself.
