Don't Fear the Reaper｜Cyberpunk 2077｜Ending｜4K RTX 4090

[@charliemcmillan4561]

My favorite ending. V enters true legend status, the one capable of the impossible, only because every moment from this point forward, is at the intensity of his final flourish. He has accepted his end, and there is no fear left, only rage. His indomitable will sees him through the most impossible of odds to the nth degree because he’s angrier and he wants it more than you

[@rosco2890]

I guess he is too angry to die lol

[@95v37]

Yeah but for those who have done it, is the reward really worth it? Storyline it is as grim as the others

[@bossmitchell3455]

Yes my second is pamam ending but this ending nobody dies

[@opfreak]

@@bossmitchell3455 panam ending is only good if you're playing as a male character and romance her. As a female v rather just do fear the reaper and skip the aldecaldo ending even though it is the most wholesome by far. That ending shot riding on the car with panam holding the bullet chain before it flies off. The symbolism as if losing the last piece holding you to night city as you don't look back and start a new life, love it

[@charliemcmillan4561]

@@95v37 the story reward is just getting the sun ending with rogue still alive tbh. Even without that though its my favorite way to end the game because of how challenging it is and how amazing the music is and how terrified the saka goons are of you for singlehandedly wiping them out

[@12_gageshotgun90]

V walked into Arasaka Tower, fully expecting to die. But in the end, he did what even Morgan Blackhand, a team of elite Militech troops and the best mercs in Night City couldn't do. And for it, he became a Legend. V the Solo, risen from death, because the Reaper feared him.

[@mhmyes7934]

"Because the reaper feared him", that a bar right there

[@ZacTBH]

Goddamn this ending is such a power fantasy, I love what V says though "If I gotta die, rather fall into my grave gun in hand and on fire, and not drag anyone down with me." V got himself into this mess, only fitting he's going to be the one to get him out of it.

[@Deformer23]

Cringe bs didn't ask 🤡💩

[@maxh7085]

This is the "fuck it we ball, no plans just vibes" ending and it rules.

[@orange_turtle3412]

V realizes the fact that, no matter what happens, he is going to die from the relic sooner or later. There’s no risk at all in raiding Arasaka solo, since the only possible consequence of such a raid is already an inevitability. V has absolutely, positively nothing to lose.

[@thetau4866]

And quite a fucking lot to gain, for everyone he cares about.

[@RickWick-gt7yp]

Except friends so he goes in by himself

[@liberator328]

The rooftop scene at 18:30 is absolutely thrilling. V finally committing to his terminal fate, Johnny enthusiastically nodding to V's deathwish, Johnny ditches his cigarette as he stands to pick up V, bass starts to drown out the depressing synths, V's breathing shortens and intensifies, adrenaline is pumping. Amazing

[@sheppard3767]

I love how if you're Corpo, this is basically the cyberpunk equivalent of going postal.

[@DoctorWu23]

The most based ending. Pure cyberpunk even if it makes zero sense. Just go in guns blazing.

[@Josephhhhh2077]

It makes perfect sense

[@lostvayne9146]

if you have done everything the game has to offer before getting to this point, you have effectively become the most dangerous solo within NC. V has nothing to lose at this point and he won't drag those around him on a chance that he might live. It makes sense.

[@jaelkyle8809]

I feel like this is the best ending. You being the best and a living legend feels like the space heist will be a success

[@ColonelBragg]

This ending is the best one for a possible continuation of V's story.

[@Zzzooooppp]

The final moments of this game are incredibly touching, the scene here where he's flying towards the Crystal Palace, and the scene where he's flying on the salt flats with Panam are both so well done

[@VisionoftheChief]

Wish there were more 3rd Person cutscenes cause they're really well done.

[@AdrianSS07]

Another matrix reference when V walks into the arasaka tower entrance just like Neo did where the agents were holding Morpheus

[@aaronbrogan3401]

This is objectively the best and (arguably) most canonical ending in the context of the themes of the game.

[@drunkenraccoon5922]

[@froilanflorentino1252]

This ending really suits the V who launched Songbird to the moon. For me, The Tower ending is better than The Devil ending.

[@charliemcmillan4561]

@@froilanflorentino1252i sent songbird away, angrily, betrayed but still committed to my goal to giving this girl a chance at life, and immediately after decided this was the ending I wanted. You’re correct, the emptiness and contempt for absolutely everybody I had at that point, I just resolved to end everyone involved with that whole shitty job that killed Jackie and put a timer on V’s life. The corpo fucks and everything they built must burn for the pain they caused V and Jackie and Johnny, and if the platoons of federal agents V mowed down in Phantom Liberty couldnt stop him, this wouldnt

[@eduardobrigas4177]

the new ending is close to a nightmare, better to die.

[@hidan407]

​@@eduardobrigas4177 It is at 1st but not as bad when we think about the other lore. Bioware ( nanotech) does exist and even though its not exactly as powerful as cyberware, its still superhuman status feats. And kerry said he could help money wise but just on tour at the moment and cant physically be there. So he can help finance bioware procedures and a trainers to get your body back into shape since 2 years in coma is why we are that weak. The new ending isnt that bad

They should've kept 70% instead of Specific dialogues. It makes more sense for Johnny to trust you with a suicide rush and asking you to go down guns blazing with him while ur friendship with him is high. So you can be a total jerk to him the whole game but choose those specific dialogues at the grave and suddenly he would choose to die with you guns blazing? Man I wanted to play this ending so badly.

[@MR.LMR1996]

If you're on PC you can use console commands to activate the requirements needed to get Johnny to offer this ending during the sitdown on the rooftop. Did it last night when i realized I failed to make the right dialogue choices back in Chippin' In and it worked like a charm.

The only thing I got against this ending is it culminates to V just chilling in a mansion. After screwing over NUSA, Arasaka, Barghest and Netwatch? I was hoping V would be more of a John Connor-figure resistance leader against the corps and the feds, somewhere in the desert in a secret underground safehouse planning things out with this comrades.

[@Logank192]

No it doesn't, he's up there because he has all the eddies and resources he could want, but the whole time he was planning a heist on the Crystal Palace. You can play V however you want, but his defining trait is his fight for survival, Mr. Blue Eyes himself said as much: "You know why I hired you? Because you'd do anything at all even for the faintest chance of survival."

[@Aristocrat1cs]

Glad you're not a writer for anything

[@EdTheDragonSlayer]

@@Aristocrat1cs Sure, because V would totally not have been neck deep in FIA assassins, Arasaka cyberninjas, Netwatch netrunners and Barghest hitsquads at this point, and yet he just chilling right out in the open. If it was me I would have taken my network to the underground and do my work a little bit on the down low. I would have been surrounded by all the folks I helped as well as my friends, doing jobs and still being able to plan the heist. Definitely a better ending than pretending nobody is going to try to kill me while I just do this one job.

[@Josephhhhh2077]

He doesn’t give af about corps like Johnny does he just wants to survive

[@EdTheDragonSlayer]

@@Josephhhhh2077 If this ending actually considers the course of the main game and the DLC, V would be dodging snipers under that nice couch right about now, or steering from rockets on his ride to the Afterlife, where Arasaka ninjas would be waiting, and Netwatch agents on security camera, with Barghest placing bombs on V's car. V fucked with the corps, no way they would let him just get off scot-free like this, especially when everyone in the city knows where V lives and work. Not to mention all the indie Solos or crews would love to get a piece of V.

[@thenationalradar8355]

In the words of Patrick Swayze from Red Dawn, “We’re all gonna die. Die standing up”.

[@ShandyJammer]

I love this ending for a bunch of reasons. Not only does it shoot V into legendary status in NC, but it feels just right if you do Street Kid V. By choosing to tackle it with Johnny, you not only spare the people you care about, but you follow in Jackie’s footsteps by choosing to find the courage to bet on yourself.

[@lenhatminh9696]

Most people say the star ending is the best. However to me this is actually the best ending, you don't drag any of your friend down with you, your relationship with panam still hasn't broken yet. You are the only living legend in night city. And in the end, you got to participate in a mission that if you pull off, the chance of you surviving is much better than meeting panam's friend. Wish i chose the correct dialogue with johnny to unlock this ending

[@lizdevilz7271]

This is canon ending imo. Like wouldn’t it make sense? V is dying anyway so why’s not go all out before you go? Ain’t no way he gonna let history erased his name. Plus, It’s all start here. He accept that damn deal from Dexter which is the beginning of everything. Beginning of his journey to the end, Beginning of losing one close to him like T-bug and Jackie and where Johnny has made big legend so it would suit more for them to ended what have they done. Plus, With this ending, We finally can avenge for David and Rebecca lol.

[@willbaggiins9441]

To me that was the best ending for me but with Rogue and i let Johnny take control so he could get revenge on Adam Smasher and i let Songbird die and not let Reed and the FIA to not have her... Reed is a puppet and FIA is well the FIA...I cant let Songbird go to the moon neither because Mr Bleu Eyes will have her which IS NOT GOOD if you know who/what Mr Bleu Eyes really is... so the best option is to complete the mission by sticking with Reed. Fight Hansen(bad ass bossfight) Fight the Maxtac(bad ass bossfigh) Run from the Blackwall Robot(metal Gear vibe) and free Songbird by letting her die.

I'm so sorry.

"What do you want from me?" "Ok. But as second chances go, this is your last." this just happened to me on my replay build so I went through the game again with a melee Sandevistan/Berserk build, but honestly ending this in melee was worth it since it make Dont Fear the Reaper feel impossibly cool
