What’s kinda scary about this from an outside perspective V probably looks like a cyberpsycho to them. A one man killing machine absolutely ripping through their forces. It may be badass to us but to them, they’re encountering what they believe to be a cyberpsycho attack

[@Ultra04channel]

Or maybe not. Cyberpsychosis makes an individual attack indiscriminately. V, no matter how you play them, had an objective, which was to get to Mikoshi. Researchers and those brought in to survey the damage would see a very, very clear path forwards. It might look like a cyberpsycho at first, but then they'd start to realize that they were dealing with something much worse. Someone who had all the implants and power of one, but who still (mostly) had a sense of self, and a plan in mind.

"So, Johnny, how are we getting to Mikoshi? I mean, it's not like we can just walk right through the front doors, It can't be that easy." (2 seconds later, entering Arasaka with nothing but Johnny's Malorian Arms, the best sandevistan that money can buy, and a pair of mantis blades) "It's that easy."

[@ShadowCompagny]

Always loved the fact that for once , Johnny Silverhand's theme isn't playing for him, but for someone else, V.

[@neodav00001]

In this ending, it's a mixed bag. In Don't Fear The Reaper, the personalities have truly fused. It's not Johnny anymore, but it's not V either. It's a genuine amalgam of the two. No coincidence that ending is only available if your synchronicity with Johnny is above a certain level.

I like The Star ending the most since V can leave Night City with his girl but man I have never felt more badass in a game than this ending

The best ending. V gives in to the voices in his head, goes full cyberpsycho, and joins his imaginary friend in a solo assault on the heavily guarded headquarters of the most powerful megacorporation in the world... and wins.

My favorite part of the level is that half of the guards were extremely confused by V blasting through them all single handedly and the other half were crying and begging for mercy. Makes you really feel like an unstoppable badass

That first Arasaka Agent I shot in the head with the Malorian when entering Arasaka HQ in full Silverhand get up as I activated my QianT Warp Dancer and went Cyberpsycho on the whole corp, all while Rebel Path plays in the background and Johnny Silverhand hypes you on is one of the top moments in gaming history :)

There's nothing that gets me going than walking into Arasaka tower and For Whom The Bell Tolls starts playing.

[@sergeantsapient]

To me this should be the lore accurate finale. It does both a good job of wrapping up the game's ending and gives the player and absolute power fantasy so I feel like it satisfies both audiences well.

[@thegrammarpolice69]

This ending is the average gamer's OP protagonist power trip fantasy, and it's fuckin metal as hell

[@nukerkid105]

not even a fantasy

[@craxnor]

Just imagine how insane this is to everyone else in NC. A rising star turns out to be a meteor, just up on a random day walk into Arasaka Tower. This merc then proceeds to massacre their way into the bowels of the tower with no one in the most powerful company in the city able to stop them. Then the #1 living legend Adam Smasher comes in to clean up this mess. And he gets his ass Zero'd. And if all goes well the merc just waltz out after all of Arasaka's Net runners and security suddenly flatline. less than 3 hours the entire political landscape of NC is a mess.

Considering the alternative was waiting for the relic to kill you or sticking a gun in your mouth... storming Arasaka Tower even for the smallest chance at salvation is really the safe choice, here.

what i love about this ending is that even Silverhand was so engaged in saving V that he didn't even cared about Smasher he just wanted V to get to Mikoshi and save himself asap and saw Smasher as an obstacle and not as his objetive for revenge.

Funny that this ending is purely based off what Johnny suggests, and in other endings, you hear that this is exactly what Rogue says is the most dumbass thing to do
