Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty end game. Go to top of Misty's building and wait for AV to pick you up for surgery. Agree with Johnny, don't go through with the surgery, find another way.
Well its not like that more like the famous violinist. If you bond with Johnny he changes a bit as a person and depending on your philosophy is a person. He doesn't want to die but he doesn't want V to die either. If he likes you he will gladly die for you but in a situation like that in the calm of things the realization that you have no control over your fate would make anyone beg. But it says a lot he accepts the choice if you make it assuming he likes you
I sided with songbird but wow, I didn't know johnny would legit need to be wiped in order for V to stay alive if going the surgery route. Playing this game since release every so often and still stick to the reaper ending. no one dies and johnny will live in relative safety within Alt, in the hope we get to see him again in the future.
@@creativename2567I think it's definitely surviving. I like to think that integration does not equal to deconstructing johnny. So he may have become her puppet/soldier, but he is definitely not destroyed or altered in any way. We saw him along with other constructs from mikoshi taken away by Alt in the final cutscene when V bids farewell to johnny.
@@shidenkai2099 You get eaten and integraded piece by piece, particle by particle (or rather chuck by chunk of data) and rest will shited out (deleted), that what happened to Johny
This is the first among many, many issues with the new ending. This dialogue makes zero sense because in Tapeworm, Johnny makes it clear he'll give his life for yours during the "would you take a bullet for me" conversation. And your choice in that dialogue is reflected in all other endings... except the Tower. Hell, if you're friendly with Johnny and had him tell you he'll get himself wiped to save you, he will literally FIGHT and ARGUE if you try to leave him the body while inside Mikoshi.
Johnny probably knew that FIA only works on their interests and see V as a mere tool. My head canon is that Johnny knew they would leave V crippled forever if they went on with the surgery. Since it is not explicitly stated, there’s a possibility the FIA didn’t destroy Johnny but rather extracted him for their own nefarious uses, at the expense of V’s body, which might be even worse than death. Johnny prefers to find another way to find a cure without destroying him and without leaving V crippled forever.
Call reed start job when Johnny ask not to call there is a secret dialogue he lists call rogue call panam or secret dialogue "you forgot about the deal with reed"
V: "Could just raise Reed on the holo. Did you forget I had the option?" Johnny: "Nope, no. Field trip to an FIA lab. You: cured, me: cut. Didn't forget a thing." V: "Gotta give it a try, Johnny. Might of the NUSA and all..." Johnny: "You absolutely sure? No going back on this, y'know."
It remains available as an option during Nocturne Op55N1, at the normal point of no return. Along with the options to ask Hanako, Panam, and Rogue for help, you'll have an additional option to call Reed and get the same ending as if you went through with the surgery at this point.
In a way Johnny feels like Sam Node from mass effect andromeda. I want both to live, can't wait for cyberpunk orion, in orion i hope Panam is still in a relationship with V.
I really hope we get to continue V's story in project orion. I worry that the new game will take place in a similar area, with some of the characters we interacted with in Cyberpunk, but we'll be a new character with a new story. I hope that's not the case.
ID.K After the surgery does V play nerfed? No one explaining this especially when the trophy pops before this. Also the blackwall quickhack is all hype. Pathetically underpowered. Blackwall SMG was a bust too because I never got it. Did not know it was interesting maintenance room powered by the storage room. Hate to do another playthrough. Netwatch Mach 1 and Umbra xmod2 are far superior to blackwall counterparts. Go figure.
While gameplay wise after completing this ending, you get no real debuff, story wise, V does lose all their implants and is essentially a nobody in night city again. Though with the amount of eddies you have by the end of the game I'm sure they'll live a lavish life either way.
@@snappyego908 Yeah plus he makes the absolutely stupid decision of staying in Night City too. I didn't mind that ending, but what infuriated me was him not taking the FIA job at the end.
@@IneptOrangeI think they were looking for reasons to keep V unimportant. It’s pretty clear that no matter what happens, whether V gives Johnny his body, V takes the six months and dies, or V has the surgery and survives, the character and identity of V, even if it’s actually Johnny, is supposed to be unimportant to the future of the world. I have to believe that’s also why they chose to make it where V would be left without the ability to receive implants as well.
