I AM GOING OUT OF MY MIND AFTER SEEING [spoiler]THE "PATH TO GLORY" ENDING!![/spoiler]

[Vonstevenstien]

Ok- I'm trying to be careful not spoil anything for anyone, but I just beat the game and chose "The path to Glory" ending where you give Johnny Silverhand control. I then chose to put V back in his own body, despite the fact that he's doomed either way. Next thing you know- I'm in some giant corpo condo I never bought, I'm going on some mission I am totally unaware of, and THEN; I JUST F**KING DIE IN SPACE FOR NO REASON!!!! WTF?!?!?!?!

I feel that this is the greatest most well made game of the last 10-15 years, and THIS IS HOW THEY CHOOSE TO END IT???? WHY??? IS THIS SOME KIND OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ATTACK FROM COMMUNIST CHINA TO DEGRADE THE MORALE OF THE U.S.?!?!

Can anyone please help me? I know I'm going to lose sleep over this. Thank you

Go back and pick another ending! Some of them do suckkkk so bad. However the aldecados one is my fav. and quite a good conclusion imo. But give there are i think...5 or 6 endings? Go back and take another route!

V doesn't die in any of the main epilogues since each one sets them to find a cure. The 3 main endings are intentionally ambiguously open since all three epilogues share the exact same basis to reflect the three lifepaths along with their motives.

The one you chose is the reflection of the Street Kid lifepath, who is always chasing after the dream of becoming a legend no matter the cost, just like Jackie. It is why Misty brings you to the rooftop prior to making the decision that changes V's life, as that is where Jackie decided his dream in Night City is to become a legend... and that is what this ending reflects.

By choosing Panam V's heart is that of a Nomad who forsakes the dream and instead cherishes family. And by choosing Hanako your V's heart is that of a Corpo who cares for nothing but self-preservation at any cost, even if it means betraying those around you but more importantly yourself.

All 3 epilogues reflect the lifepaths, which is why most people love the Nomad one since a Nomad heart is all about family and friends. But fret not, there is a sequel coming and there is a big chance that it will be continuing V's story since it is cleverly hinting it, so all hope is not lost.
Hopefully that eases the mind :D

I just hate how V ghosts all their friends.

I went through 80 hours of ♥♥♥♥ to 100% every single quest in the entire game only to have V just drop everyone and run away to a space casino.

IMO the point of all the game's endings is not that they are 'happy' or that V is somehow saved from an imminent, early death, but rather how he/she faces up to fate in an unfriendly/uncaring city/universe. It's a view that life is essentially tragic...a POV I understand, although I don't agree with. I wouldn't stress about the matter...just see it as a literary device/choice by the game makers.

[Azrael]

I guess you never realized that the world of Cyberpunk there is no happy ending, no matter where you look. Rich corpo people gets their brains burned out, everyday people gets shot in a street mafia fight, and everyone else gets hacked to oblivion by 12 year old netrunner kids.

Also FYI, V never died in space, he/she just went there on a mission.

OP,
CDPR is a Polish company.
Saying its communist is more than just slightly insulting.
You want to see actual commie subversion, go watch some Hollywood Movies, plenty there to see.

My personal favorite isn't even the space ending or sun or whatever - it's the aldecaldo one where you drive off into the sunset on a hover tank with panam as my romance option

[CoffeeBro]

Whatever choice you make, you're back, alive and kicking in Phantom Liberty.

You know - I think that might have something to do with V's chrome and cyberpsychosis ... It's confirmed that Johnny Silverhand was a high-functioning cyberpsycho (showing some of the signs, like poor impulse-control, his cyberhand sometimes acting "on its own", stuff like that). There's a theory out there that the reason why V in the game doesn't succumb to cyberpsychosis, even if you stuff them full of cyberware, is because Johnny, who's experienced dealing with cyberpsychosis, is basically keeping V's in check (and also, V's probably more mentally stable than Johnny ever was, which is a factor, too).

So, at the end, Johnny's gone. And V's still got all of their chrome. So it might be possible that, since the "controlling instance" isn't there anymore, V's cyberpsychosis is finally starting to show, through, e.g., them being cold and distant to all their friends. Of course that's just one possible explanation ...

Where is it confirmed that Johnny Silverhand was a high-functioning cyberpsycho??

Never heard or saw anything like that so how about a Source or a link to that info.

I have over 1000 hours in the game and never saw anything about that.

Highly ironic that the OP was GOING OUT OF MY MIND AFTER SEEING THE "PATH TO GLORY" ENDING when he has a profile picture of a FREAKING NAZI. You would think he'd like the path to glory.

Suicide ending is underrated

I don't think you die in space. It was a special mission given to you by Mr. Blue Eyes. A heist of the Crystal Palace; although known to the 'commoners' of Night City as just a nice vacation place, if you read into the lore, it's actually more than that. Think of it as a city for corpos running shady projects. The ending leaves you the impression that Mr. Blue Eyes is offering you something you can't refuse - maybe the cure to help you live? We'll never know unless the devs decide to bring that story to life in a DLC or sequel.

pretty sure its because you're trying to secure way to continue living, be it through a clone, another persons body ect. the point of going to space for the heist is the reward mr. blue eyes is willing to offer you. its pretty vague though, could go in any direction.
