If there isn't a happier ending or ng+ I'm not all that interested tbh
How would a happier ending even work? V's brain is fried.
Honestly idk. I was just turned off by going through the whole game only to find out that there wasn't much point to it. The fight for survival was meaningless
Just like reality.
IKR, the whole point of having multiple endings is we can choose between different endings usually they are good, bad and neutral. I played till last mission and searched for how many possible endings there are so i can choose good ending (i know it’s not exciting to see how it ends before completing but that’s how I enjoy it) and seeing V dies in every option felt like i wasted all that time playing all these missions trying to stay alive only to die. I understand that’s the whole point of “cyberpunk” genre but i felt like with one good endings the could have made the game more enjoyable at least to some gamers and still satisfy cyberpunk enjoyers with other bad endings.
I think you're coming up against the genre there. Folks who love the themes enough to make an entire game out of it aren't going to dump them for mass appeal. Much like how Lovecraftian horror ends in the madness or death of pretty much anyone involved, or how in high fantasy practically no major "good" characters die at all, unless it drives the plot (the classic "plot armour" that sours my experience of such stories).
In what I'd consider the happiest ending, you've bought V time to enjoy the remainder of their life relatively stress-free, surrounded by family, their love, with all escaping Night City with the distant hope of a cure. That's about as peaceful an ending a Night City Merc can hope for, and I find it hard to believe that it was pointless fighting for that.
In the Cyberpunk universe, for runners, it is better to die in a blaze of glory with a crazy reputation than to die of old age.
This isn't well conveyed in the game though, so I can see why you and other people feel that way. But happy endings are fews and far between. So it makes sense that there isn't a truly happy ending.
This is why I feel that in this case, the secret ending is the best ending.
Uhh did I get the same ending as you? I was alive and well when I left night city with Panam and her crew.
There are like 7 different endings with V in various states at the end.
I'm not really interested in the DLC because more than half the endings leave it on a cliff hanger all pointing to a certain new task on the space station casino (including the hidden ending that was clearly intended as the canon ending), and the DLC looks to not actually continue any of those cliff-hanger endings based on what they've shown and talked about.
Ah, well shit. Now I need to go back and play it for one of those endings. Driving off into the desert was kinda a weird ending.
Alive and on a timer if you can't fix the issue in time in Arizona.
