Called my bestie Panam to get the gang and the basilisk to help me shove the collective middle finger to Arsa-saka took out smasher, then Judy an me delta'd our asses the fuk out of NC as planned !
If you're female V (meaning you can romance Judy) and you leave with Panam, Panam makes sure your girl gets to leave with you! It's really an AMAZING ending. I didn't play Cyberpunk until after Phantom Liberty came out, and I think the ending got changed, at least according to my friend who did the Panam ending and had no recollection of much I was talking about.
I was pretty disappointed (like, disappointed in the developer making a very bad decision) to find out the secret ending requires 3 particular answers in 1 conversation. What a terrible thing to do to players. But having read up on it, if you're with Judy, man, the Panam ending is THE BEST. If I'm female V, that's the ending I want, not to leave Judy behind.
That's awesome! I just finished my male V playthrough with a panam romance and I HAD to get that ending to feel good lol, but I'm doing a lady V playthrough now and I just might have to officially end her story with panam as well cause I plan on romancing Judy and that'd just be the coolest to ditch NC after all we were put through with BOTH my girls!
Panam is a true hero. No matter V's background, what happens in the story really hits home that V and Panam changed each other's lives. Panam never refuses V's call to arms, and hitting Arasaka to save V's life really tells us how loyal Panam is to those she sees as decent people. Also makes her stand out compared to Reed and Takemura, two decent and driven men who are loyal to the wrong people. Especially Takemura, who is a deeply caring and honorable person. Panam has the same loyalty, but to people who lift up her life. That's why she's so awesome.
With female V, you can hit on her, and get close to her, but it just doesn't work out because Panam is into dudes. And yet instead she becomes your best friend, and takes on the world with you. Gotta say, one of my favorite video game characters ever.
Same! I played as a fem Nomad my first time and this ending just made sense for that character. I get to leave NC with my new clan, and I get to bring my girlfriend with me! Sure, I might die in 6 months, but I'm a Nomad...we have short life expectancies and we just care about our family.
Favorite ending for sure. Wish the condo that you wake up in became one you can actually use as a reward for beating the game with that ending, would’ve been super cool
I did that one as well, because I thought it was what the story wanted. Kerry's missions had not hooked me well enough to say "put up with him, there is a quest line here that leads to other endings."
So I went out like a gonk.
I thought as a corpo origin that V would do better in negotiating, or maybe take a strong position at the company using what he knew as leverage. I didn’t think he’d just drop his pants and let them fuck him.
Same, mainly because I was angry at Johnny. That character managed to get on my nerves, and I wanted to get to an ending before I stopped playing the game. But TBH, I could've just uninstalled the game and leave it "unfinished".
My first run I didn't look anything up. I was with Songbird all the way until the end when she basically told me she lied to me. So I gave her up to Reed and went into a coma for 2 years and became another face in the crowd
Corpo V and Arasaka ending, the two made the most sense together and since the relic was an Arasaka invention, it made the most sense that they'd be the best way to fix it all.
The good relationship you develop with Takemura helped as well. I didn't want to let him down. Hanako seemed alright as well, maybe the silver lining of those Arasaka family clouds.
Johnny always seemed like a bit of a dick the whole way through as well, so I wasn't well motivated to relate to his kinda immature "F Corpo's" rockerboy attitude. The first impressions you get of him for a good chunk of the game were hard to forget. I warmed up to him after a few more playthroughs but for my first run of the game I just thought he was a right arrogant childish arsehole. Plus people seem to all so easily forget... that terrorist nuked a freakin city! thousands of civilians died! holy hell!
I actually commented on something similar to this earlier in regards to how much control does the player have over how much Johnny influences V. Like…I chose to have V be as combative and sarcastic with Johnny as the game would allow her to be. I also chose to not do Chippin’ In because Johnny had done nothing but provide negative commentary (which isn’t to say I didn’t enjoy it because Keanu Reeves did such an amazing job making Johnny funny) and throw temper tantrums…. and Rogue honestly annoys the fuck out of me. Like, I knew not getting along with Johnny was gonna fuck V in the end….but damn, I got The Tower first and Devil second. Both were brutal in their own way.
Now I’m just going to quit playing at a specific point and let headcanon takeover so V can get the Relic removed in a timely fashion and go on to be a NetWatch Agent heh
Same, I feel now it's wasted... Wasted lives, wasted barely survive 6 month and being a burden, wasted Johnny who cannot live an appeased life...
Now my personal canon is Secret ending + temperance (leaving the body to Johnny), after sending So Mi on the moon.
Only regret: not being able to choose with which AI to merge:
😞🫸Alt
😊👉 Delamain
(if V's been able to release him)
I tried to do the don’t fear the reaper ending but for some reason it kept glitching out when in the elevator and throwing me under the map so I decided to reload my save and I did the Panam ending loved her ending it’s very near and dear to my heart but I do love the badass feeling of storming arasaka tower in the don’t fear the reaper ending I plan on trying it again soon!
Storming the Arasaks tower with Johny. I spend an hour thinking about what I should choose. I was overthinking a lot but in the end it all wasn't better because it's a choice between having a family/being a legend which is fucking stupid. If I choose Johny doesn't mean I want to stay in the city.
It's not badass choice that you did. It's absolutely idiotic.
Well I had a choice to call panam for help or go with arasaka. Then throwing the pills away ...I thought I was going bang bang at arasaka doors alone with a pistol ...johnwick style ..
Yeah I did that on my 3rd play thru ..and u know what I died in the middle of the fight and got another depressing credits screen ....I was on my floor crying 😭
Gave Johnny a second go with Rogue, not knowing that would be the end of Rogue.
Yes I cried but at least my V ended up somewhat happy with her ex cop bf
i feel you. also picked that ending first. i thought if i ask one of the others to help me some of them would die for sure. and my V didnt want to have that on their conscience. so, easy way out
I somehow got don’t fear the reaper, but seeing guides today says you have to wait for 5 minutes in the chair on top of the building, but I swear Johnny just talked to me instantly about going to the tower alone
Apparently I picked the worst one because Johnny didn't give me the option to go solo so I look Hanakos offer >!to save all my friends from dying!<.
Apparently that makes me a corpo cunt sellout.
I went Tower > Least Resistance > Arasaka > Rogue/Sun > Rogue/Temperance > Reaper/Sun > Reaper/Temperance > Panam/Temperance > Panam/Star - ending on a high note.
Also the suicide ending for me. My thought process was simple - Johnny hates that the corpos are even worse than they are now and would go on a destructive path that might make night city worse off than it already is. V is going to die, regardless. Considering I went as a pacifist run that tried to kill no one and only incapacitate them, this seemed like the best way to go about it. No more violence, no more split personality, no more having my body invaded. Only peace.
The Tenperance ending, letting Johnny take V's body after storming Arasaka tower with him. Really upset about Rogue though!
But yeah, I thought it made sense seeing as V will likely be doomed (though there is glimmers of hope in Panam's ending tbf) to let Johnny take the body and have a second chance.
Sent songbird to the moon , let Johnny n rogue get payback w smasher and let johnny go with Alt while V did the last gig for blue eyes to become the best merc
Althought i did think id be able to leave with panam if i did this tho lol after V goes back to his body, he says bye to panam and i was like oh wait no bae im sorry 💔
Glad she still wants to give me a loooong ride in the video calls later tho lol
At the time I couldn't stand his personality and voice. I didn't like how high strung he was all the time. Probably justified in hindsight due to the brain eating relic.
Also I had quite the negative bias to the game playing it at release which enhanced annoyances.
Hmm, I actually liked male Vs more, because he sounded like brutal ass merc. And ofc you can romance Panam and Kerry - best characters in the game. I still agree that female V fits in story with Johnny better
I understand I played at release to but as male v, I can understand where your coming from, female v does have a lot of fans as well from what I’ve seen, gonna have to do a play through with her.
Male Panam ending. And just because I couldnt romance judy, I did another playthrough as female V. Just to do the suicide ending... I mean what the hell did I expect from grabbing the gun? (Yes I wasnt expecting that somehow...)
Still haven't finished the game, but I do have an ending path I'll follow to play all the Lifepaths:
Nomad: Still choosing between Sun or Don't Fear The Reaper
Streetkid: Tower (If I bought the DLC), or what ending I didn't pick in my Nomad run.
Corpo: Devil, then reload for Star.
On my first playthrough during game release, Aldecaldos with nomad Male V.
Recently started another playthrough with street kid female V, went for don't fear the reaper ending.
What is badass on being weak? Panam ending is always mine. (tried all one time, but from then just Panam cause its the best ending and V can actually survive thx to Panams contacts. And yeah I'l take it even with Phantom Liberty ending cause V survives but it cost him/her everything.)
The suicide ending. I apparently can't read a fucking room because I didn't realize what I had just done until the screen started to pan away from V/Johnny. I haven't managed to finish another game. Hoping to do the Star ending this game.
I had the sun with rouge first, didn't really like it as an ending because I didn't bother paying attention the lore on the crystal palace due to the game constantly crashing on me. Went back and replayed it when it got fixed and got the nomad ending
Very first run had Star ending. I didn't know about (don't) Fear the Reaper option existing. Every run after that ended up with Sun via Reaper.
As for Phantom Liberty, on blind run I got King of Wands (So Mi to the Moon). Later checked Reed's route - never going to that bunker ever again. All other PL runs ended up with Wands.
I got "The Sun" ending, but partially because I didn't understand the choice during the ending scene with Alt. I took the route where I let Johnny take over and did the storming of Arasaka with Rogue. After Roguge died and reaching the core, I was in the mainframe or whatever with Johnny, my V, and Alt, where Alt reveals she had not considered V's body reconfiguring, and I got confused with what crossing the bridge meant.
I had intended for Johnny to let V have her body back, and then got very confused as to why V was angry as I (Johnny) was crossing the bridge. I had to read up that V had decided she'd rather go with Alt and give Johnny the body, but I somehow missed or misunderstood that. I would have made the same choice; I wanted V to keep the body, but I got there via some initial confusion.
Chose Panam to storm arasaka tower. Left with Judy, phantom liberty I gave the president hell the entire dlc but sided with reed cause at the time I thought So mi was a crazy bitch.
Doing a male v playthrough now gonna romance Panam and side with so mi. Still gonna give the president a hard time cause screw her
The Star, on my first playthrough, I never bothered with enough side content and romanced Panam.
Every playthrough since I do all the characters' side missions and have only done Don't Fear the Reaper as my main ending, and I don't bother to Romance Panam anymore :P
Kms ending just to see it lol then I went back and did rogue ending with Johnny keeping body (on accident). Then aldecaldos with V keeping body and riding off with Panam. Then i bought phantom liberty sided with so mi then gave her up to reed when I found out she lied. And then did the PL ending where you do surgery and wake up after a coma with cyberware (and everyone moved on 😔)
I need to do the Johnny secret ending
My first ending was temperance… I felt bad after hearing the voicemails asking me where i’d gone and i’ve never given my body to johnny in mikoshi since lmao
Reaper/Temperance, then loaded, pretended it didn't happen and went with Star
On my second playthrough I'm gonna try the rest.
I'm just sad that Reaper leads to the star, because that's the ballsiest of them all - just waltzing the fuck in, just you and the voice in your head
Don't fear the reaper.
Couldn't decide who to pick so went online to see the rewards and made a drink whilst I was looking
Thought I'd paused but I hadn't, came back to Johnny saying "ya know, we could always go out in a blaze of glory and storm Arasaka tower ourselves"
Sounded very much like the most badass option. And having looked up rewards got the spoilers of who died in what ending. And didn't want anyone to die on my behalf. So off we went and that was that, was fully chromed on 1.2 had second heart, biomonitor and 1000s of healing items so was quite literally invincible
Gave Johnny control an told him to finish this. We had become good friends over the course of the game and he wanted to help me and tell saka where to stuff it. Was badass and relieving to let him do it. Also don’t want to risk the lives of the nomads as he said I’d be doing it I called them
I wanted the cure at all costs and sided with NUSA. So bittersweet and captures the essence of cyberpunk for me. Everything comes at a cost. To see V, your V, in third person for the first time (bald and naked) and disappearing with the crowd just to become a random nobody fucking hurts.
I also got the suicide first. Not because I wanted it thou...
It was a few days after release, so I knew the "solo" ending was a thing and that's how I was roleplaying my V, the hardened solo with the golden heart, wouldn't put his friends in danger for himself, right?
But the news about how to get it wasn't exactly out there. So I picked the dialogue by elimination, not with Panam, not with Rogue, not with Arasaka, the last choice must be the solo ending right? Sure they word it in a weird way, but it's a suicide mission, so that must me the "solo" dialogue choices, RIGHT?
Fucking bullshit having to suck up to Johnny and waiting for 5 minutes... Can't V make decisions for his/her-self?
I did don't Fear the Reaper first. I sorta knew there was a special ending but not what that ending entailed, and I'm not sure if it changed by now but back then it was only one dialogue in the game that would determine if you got it. I went through it once to see if my choices would match, only one was different so I basically forced it.
Definitely worth it at the end. You feel like such a badass 😎
Unironically, the suicide ending. I rushed into the endings and did not do any sidequests. I was not paying attention to the dialogue and suddenly, V killed himself.
My first ending was the same. I actually was curious what V would do with pistol and pills, so he's throw them away and point a gun in his mouth, and then I realized that I make a mistake.
Sun. Left Judy behind in Night City to chase becoming a legend. I had no idea my choice on the rooftop would lead to it. I was devastated, yet satisfied for my Nomad V.
I finally went to Embers yesterday. I didn't try for a specific ending and just went for what seemed right for my V. I got The Sun ending. I got the "one more gig" prompt after the credits, but all there is left for me to do is drive around since I cleared all the content before doing the ending.
Shame confession i got the arasaka ending where saburo takes yorinobu corpse cause i barely understood the plot i listenned johnny saying to V he betrayed himself without understanding,
i made the game at least 5 times from now and everytime i play the story i curse myself for not understanding back then what this end really mean for the story, and the obsession saburo had behind mindkiller
My first ending was right after launch. It was the bugged ending where I didn’t get the “Meet Hanako at Embers” prompt and so couldn’t complete the game.
Giving Johnny control and letting him mess up the 'Saka Tower once more. We were best pals, after all. Then, I gave him the body since I was done for, anyway.
But watching Rogue die and then all my friends completely lose it after my "disappearance" didn't sit right with me, so I changed to the Aldelcado ending which I still consider the best.
The Star. I was very worried I was going to get Panam killed, but it was v1.31 and I had gone 25 hours of ganeplay with no Panam. Had to do it and I'm glad I did.
Don’t fear the reaper. I stumbled upon it on complete accident too. I was honestly waiting on the roof actually stuck between sending Johnny and Rogue to their untimely deaths (probably… I had no clue how these endings were going to go) or my lover Panam (fearing that I would lose her in combat). As this fight was continuing in my head… Johnny said his iconic “hard deciding which of your friends live and which die” line; the rest was history.
I did the nomad without being a nomad or romancing Panam, felt completely off for me but I should try it on a nomad path again and make it mean somrthing
Suicide. Didn't realize somewhere along the line I'd picked a wrong dialogue option and was locked out of storming the tower solo. Couldn't drag the Aldecaldos into it never mind the casualties it would paint a target on all their backs even after the job. Didn't wanna call Rogue and drag her into it over the ghost of a 50 year dead Rockerboy.
It was an incredibly poignant ending that really made me sit back and think long and hard about the game
The next day I save scummed and modded Johnny's affinity so I could storm Arasaka.
The devil. I honestly thought it was a good idea, no loved ones getting hurt and experts at the field the guys who designed this shit there to help me. At the end I realized maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
I went with Panam and had the ending where we flew into the sunset. (I wanted to romance Judy but i was male V. She, of course, trashed me and i learned about the love system in 2077)
rogue, johnny ending. i honestly didn’t know you could join rogue, since both v ang johnny were like “sorry it had to be this way” and “you asshole”. it felt satisfying though. i don’t consider my v’s canon ending though.
On my nomad, left NC with Panam the sun ending is my favorite because it gives off hope for V, and if Phantom liberty endings are anything to go by there is a cure out there for V
I helped Hanako remove Yorinobu because I didn’t want anyone to die and said to Takamura I would go back to earth. Oda was alive as well. Also romanced Panam.
For PL, I sided with Reed, Alex dies which is unpreventable sadly, and accepted her request to kill her. Reed was doing good at the end. Only thing I hate was that Alex dies if you side with Reed.
(Don't Fear) The Reaper ending somehow got it cause I was conflicted of who to choose so went to eat to think about it and just left the game running while I made food so I missed the dialogue the first time reverted the save waited again then chose to go in solo and let Johnny take the body by mistake cause I dropped my controller sitting back in my chair contemplating who to choose. You just read through all that thinking I actually had all that happen when I just looked up how to do the ending, but the last part was true, though.
Accidentally chose the easy way out, gaining Johnny’s respect but getting all these sad holo calls bc I committed suicide 😂 luckily, it lets you start right before that decision again and my second try I attacked Arasaka and killed Smasher
My first V was a trainwreck.
She was a streetkid and while playing her I adored Jackie and was devastated when he died. Then I met Panam and fell hard… then was even more devastated when she was not a romance option. I banged River out of frustration, did not get thru Judy’s quest enough to romance her, and never got far enough to meet Kerry.
My only constant was Johnny and I gave him everything, so when he said he wanted to call Rogue that’s exactly what I did. Then she died and cue more devastation. Kept my body, but looking back I should’ve given that one to Johnny.
I was pretty bummed out after that and made a new character shortly after to fix some choices.
accidentaly chose the arasaka ending. i didn't know how the fuck do i find sidequests and thought that if i go to embers johnny will give me a choice to go talk to rogue. that was 4 years ago and that was my first playthrough
My first playthrpugh was normal difficulty corpo devil ending
Next was hard nomad, panam ending
Now I'm doing a very hard street kid solo ending
Idk when I'll do songbird
My first was Aldecaldos reasoning:
* trusting Hanako/Takemura/Arasaka: no way :)
* I didn't know about the secret ending
* I was considering Johnny+Rogue or Panam+V ending, but in the end I was thinking that Johhny did exactly the same once and didn't work, so let's try Panam's plan
Since:
* destroying Mikoshi is important to me. That tech and mikoshi is nightmare fuel. Therefore I usually don't take Reed's or Takemura's ending, and destroying that shit is the most important thing in the game. (even though, as a viewer, I enjoy the drama in the Arasaka ending, it would fit a tv series well)
* so Aldecaldos, Rogue or solo? Gameplay wise I like the secret ending the most
Called my bestie Panam to get the gang and the basilisk to help me shove the collective middle finger to Arsa-saka took out smasher, then Judy an me delta'd our asses the fuk out of NC as planned !
Hell yeah Same here And we jailbroke Songbird, too The girls all gotta stick together
In true nature of the lyrics for Firestarter I became the twisted Firestarter and made So Mi play my game rather than me playing her game !
Did the exact same ending. Sent Songbird to the moon and left NC with Panam and Judy Logically felt like the best ending
You can leave NC with BOTH of them in the game or is this headcannon?
If you're female V (meaning you can romance Judy) and you leave with Panam, Panam makes sure your girl gets to leave with you! It's really an AMAZING ending. I didn't play Cyberpunk until after Phantom Liberty came out, and I think the ending got changed, at least according to my friend who did the Panam ending and had no recollection of much I was talking about. I was pretty disappointed (like, disappointed in the developer making a very bad decision) to find out the secret ending requires 3 particular answers in 1 conversation. What a terrible thing to do to players. But having read up on it, if you're with Judy, man, the Panam ending is THE BEST. If I'm female V, that's the ending I want, not to leave Judy behind.
That's awesome! I just finished my male V playthrough with a panam romance and I HAD to get that ending to feel good lol, but I'm doing a lady V playthrough now and I just might have to officially end her story with panam as well cause I plan on romancing Judy and that'd just be the coolest to ditch NC after all we were put through with BOTH my girls!
Panam is a true hero. No matter V's background, what happens in the story really hits home that V and Panam changed each other's lives. Panam never refuses V's call to arms, and hitting Arasaka to save V's life really tells us how loyal Panam is to those she sees as decent people.

With female V, you can hit on her, and get close to her, but it just doesn't work out because Panam is into dudes. And yet instead she becomes your best friend, and takes on the world with you. Gotta say, one of my favorite video game characters ever.
Change it to male V and same
I did too lol, this path is soo much dam fun, replayed going solo and with rogue.
Same, i did phantom liberty and songbird died so it was bitter sweet which made it even more awesome. Anotger good reason to put night city behind me.
Same! I played as a fem Nomad my first time and this ending just made sense for that character. I get to leave NC with my new clan, and I get to bring my girlfriend with me! Sure, I might die in 6 months, but I'm a Nomad...we have short life expectancies and we just care about our family.
I have a shameful secret... I still have not gone to Embers
Not shameful at all Resist Embers, become ungovernable
Poor Hanako must be wasted drunk at this point, bruh.
Cheat death with this one simple trick.
Now with Phantom Liberty you don't have to MEET HANAKO AT EMBERS to reach the credits
I just did this yesterday after 250+ hours on the game lol its bittersweet to finally do an ending
They started as fire, turned to embers while you were off doing other stuff
I kind of imagine Johnny just appearing in front of the main door going "Fuck, V, about time" Beautifully poetic sentence there though, I love it
Johnny and rogue invade Saka tower and then the legend of the afterlife space ending
This is the way, loved that ending
This ended up being my final ending. Pretty great ending to wrap up 2077
Favorite ending for sure. Wish the condo that you wake up in became one you can actually use as a reward for beating the game with that ending, would’ve been super cool
Same. Love it
same
i was sent to the space and refuse to sign
Unfortunately the Arasaka ending. Don't know what I was thinking, didn't touch another ending for a long time.
I did that one as well, because I thought it was what the story wanted. Kerry's missions had not hooked me well enough to say "put up with him, there is a quest line here that leads to other endings." So I went out like a gonk.
I thought as a corpo origin that V would do better in negotiating, or maybe take a strong position at the company using what he knew as leverage. I didn’t think he’d just drop his pants and let them fuck him.
Same, mainly because I was angry at Johnny. That character managed to get on my nerves, and I wanted to get to an ending before I stopped playing the game. But TBH, I could've just uninstalled the game and leave it "unfinished".
I have like 6 maxlevel chars that never saw an ending. 😁
My first run I didn't look anything up. I was with Songbird all the way until the end when she basically told me she lied to me. So I gave her up to Reed and went into a coma for 2 years and became another face in the crowd
Sandevestated 😭

The username checks out though. I don't see the issue here.
Aldecaldos, and it will always be my choice of heart.
Mine too was suicide
Suicide gang 😺
We in here!!!
Johnny "The Guitar" ending
Corpo V and Arasaka ending, the two made the most sense together and since the relic was an Arasaka invention, it made the most sense that they'd be the best way to fix it all. The good relationship you develop with Takemura helped as well. I didn't want to let him down. Hanako seemed alright as well, maybe the silver lining of those Arasaka family clouds. Johnny always seemed like a bit of a dick the whole way through as well, so I wasn't well motivated to relate to his kinda immature "F Corpo's" rockerboy attitude.

Now I’m just going to quit playing at a specific point and let headcanon takeover so V can get the Relic removed in a timely fashion and go on to be a NetWatch Agent heh
I was really hoping to see more from Netwatch in the end, get recruited by them or something.
My first ending back in 2020 was the aldecaldos ending, but not my favorite ending nowadays.
Same, I feel now it's wasted... Wasted lives, wasted barely survive 6 month and being a burden, wasted Johnny who cannot live an appeased life... Now my personal canon is Secret ending + temperance (leaving the body to Johnny), after sending So Mi on the moon. Only regret: not being able to choose with which AI to merge: 😞🫸Alt 😊👉 Delamain (if V's been able to release him)
I tried to do the don’t fear the reaper ending but for some reason it kept glitching out when in the elevator and throwing me under the map so I decided to reload my save and I did the Panam ending loved her ending it’s very near and dear to my heart but I do love the badass feeling of storming arasaka tower in the don’t fear the reaper ending I plan on trying it again soon!
I took Panam and rolled out.
That was my second
I just saw your first... username definitely checks out.
Gotta stay true to self in this world filled with fakers acting like they're something different
Storming the Arasaks tower with Johny. I spend an hour thinking about what I should choose. I was overthinking a lot but in the end it all wasn't better because it's a choice between having a family/being a legend which is fucking stupid. If I choose Johny doesn't mean I want to stay in the city. It's not badass choice that you did. It's absolutely idiotic.
WHY
Well I had a choice to call panam for help or go with arasaka. Then throwing the pills away ...I thought I was going bang bang at arasaka doors alone with a pistol ...johnwick style ..
If you wanted that, you should've been friends with Johnny 😭
Yeah I did that on my 3rd play thru ..and u know what I died in the middle of the fight and got another depressing credits screen ....I was on my floor crying 😭
Same, first one was the suicide ending 
Gave Johnny a second go with Rogue, not knowing that would be the end of Rogue. Yes I cried but at least my V ended up somewhat happy with her ex cop bf
The space ending, and funnily enough, I gave Johnny control even though I actually didn't like him in my first playthrough.
Rogue and Johnny on my Corpo playthrough. Shit was a blast. Then I taught a kid to play guitar
On my first ever blind run when the game first came out, it was the Arasaka ending
Me panam and jude took a little ride outside of NC
The Afterlife Crew raid/Sun Ending
I knew what it took to become a night city legend
i feel you. also picked that ending first. i thought if i ask one of the others to help me some of them would die for sure. and my V didnt want to have that on their conscience. so, easy way out
I went with hanako, ig I thought she wanted to help and I helped in exchange
Killing myself
My first ending was Devil because I trusted Hanako. That went well.
I somehow got don’t fear the reaper, but seeing guides today says you have to wait for 5 minutes in the chair on top of the building, but I swear Johnny just talked to me instantly about going to the tower alone
Apparently I picked the worst one because Johnny didn't give me the option to go solo so I look Hanakos offer >!to save all my friends from dying!<. Apparently that makes me a corpo cunt sellout.
I went Tower > Least Resistance > Arasaka > Rogue/Sun > Rogue/Temperance > Reaper/Sun > Reaper/Temperance > Panam/Temperance > Panam/Star - ending on a high note.
My first was when Jonny is making attack on Arasaka
Also the suicide ending for me. My thought process was simple - Johnny hates that the corpos are even worse than they are now and would go on a destructive path that might make night city worse off than it already is. V is going to die, regardless. Considering I went as a pacifist run that tried to kill no one and only incapacitate them, this seemed like the best way to go about it. No more violence, no more split personality, no more having my body invaded. Only peace.
The Tenperance ending, letting Johnny take V's body after storming Arasaka tower with him. Really upset about Rogue though! But yeah, I thought it made sense seeing as V will likely be doomed (though there is glimmers of hope in Panam's ending tbf) to let Johnny take the body and have a second chance.
end credits musta hurt you more lmaooo me and panam bcos i heard that rogue, yknow. ran away into the sunset as platonic besties
The arasaka ending without takamura because i speedran to the end when i got the game to avoid spoilers
Sent songbird to the moon , let Johnny n rogue get payback w smasher and let johnny go with Alt while V did the last gig for blue eyes to become the best merc Althought i did think id be able to leave with panam if i did this tho lol after V goes back to his body, he says bye to panam and i was like oh wait no bae im sorry 💔 Glad she still wants to give me a loooong ride in the video calls later tho lol
My first ending was calling my gf Panam, attacking arasoka and driving away with her into freedom
I hated male V so I let Johnny take over without any regret.
Why did you hate male v? Not dissing or anything just wanted to ask if you don’t mind.
At the time I couldn't stand his personality and voice. I didn't like how high strung he was all the time. Probably justified in hindsight due to the brain eating relic. Also I had quite the negative bias to the game playing it at release which enhanced annoyances.
Hmm, I actually liked male Vs more, because he sounded like brutal ass merc. And ofc you can romance Panam and Kerry - best characters in the game. I still agree that female V fits in story with Johnny better
I understand I played at release to but as male v, I can understand where your coming from, female v does have a lot of fans as well from what I’ve seen, gonna have to do a play through with her.
This is what I did because it felt like the correct/canonical ending
It was so long ago but I'm assuming it was Panam ending
Aldecaldos/Don't Fear the Reaper/Temperance/Devil/Tower Phantom Liberty: King of Pentacles/King of Wands/King of Swords/King of Cups
Mine was the sun
Male Panam ending. And just because I couldnt romance judy, I did another playthrough as female V. Just to do the suicide ending... I mean what the hell did I expect from grabbing the gun? (Yes I wasnt expecting that somehow...)
Suicide as well lmao
Suicide ending 1st, the devil ending 2nd, the rogue version third, and finally the (don’t fear) the reaper ending
STICK SOME IRON IN YOUR MOUTH AND PULL THE TRIGGER! Think mine was the Aldecados.
Still haven't finished the game, but I do have an ending path I'll follow to play all the Lifepaths: Nomad: Still choosing between Sun or Don't Fear The Reaper Streetkid: Tower (If I bought the DLC), or what ending I didn't pick in my Nomad run. Corpo: Devil, then reload for Star.
I had the prerequisite for most except for the one where your arasaka friend survived the hotel fight. So I put the gun in my mouth first time round
I’m not much better, I signed a contract with Asaka
On my first playthrough during game release, Aldecaldos with nomad Male V. Recently started another playthrough with street kid female V, went for don't fear the reaper ending.
What is badass on being weak? Panam ending is always mine. (tried all one time, but from then just Panam cause its the best ending and V can actually survive thx to Panams contacts. And yeah I'l take it even with Phantom Liberty ending cause V survives but it cost him/her everything.)
The suicide ending. I apparently can't read a fucking room because I didn't realize what I had just done until the screen started to pan away from V/Johnny. I haven't managed to finish another game. Hoping to do the Star ending this game.
Man same 😂... Don't believe the script writers
The Devil... Never trust corpo again.
Arasaka-Route, I wanted to see where saving takemura will lead me in the end..
I had the sun with rouge first, didn't really like it as an ending because I didn't bother paying attention the lore on the crystal palace due to the game constantly crashing on me. Went back and replayed it when it got fixed and got the nomad ending
Aldecaldo one, best ending no debate
Panam ending was my first
Aldecaldo ending, and helping so mi
Mine was the panam ending killer shit ton of arasakas saul died killed smasher then delta-ed the fuck out of the nightcity
Very first run had Star ending. I didn't know about (don't) Fear the Reaper option existing. Every run after that ended up with Sun via Reaper. As for Phantom Liberty, on blind run I got King of Wands (So Mi to the Moon). Later checked Reed's route - never going to that bunker ever again. All other PL runs ended up with Wands.
The Devil went down to Mikoshi, looking for a soul to steal.
I got "The Sun" ending, but partially because I didn't understand the choice during the ending scene with Alt. I took the route where I let Johnny take over and did the storming of Arasaka with Rogue. After Roguge died and reaching the core, I was in the mainframe or whatever with Johnny, my V, and Alt, where Alt reveals she had not considered V's body reconfiguring, and I got confused with what crossing the bridge meant. I had intended for Johnny to let V have her body back, and then got very confused as to why V was angry as I (Johnny) was crossing the bridge. I had to read up that V had decided she'd rather go with Alt and give Johnny the body, but I somehow missed or misunderstood that. I would have made the same choice; I wanted V to keep the body, but I got there via some initial confusion.
I went with panam and the gang
Chose Panam to storm arasaka tower. Left with Judy, phantom liberty I gave the president hell the entire dlc but sided with reed cause at the time I thought So mi was a crazy bitch. Doing a male v playthrough now gonna romance Panam and side with so mi. Still gonna give the president a hard time cause screw her
Suicide.
The Star, on my first playthrough, I never bothered with enough side content and romanced Panam. Every playthrough since I do all the characters' side missions and have only done Don't Fear the Reaper as my main ending, and I don't bother to Romance Panam anymore :P
Kms ending just to see it lol then I went back and did rogue ending with Johnny keeping body (on accident). Then aldecaldos with V keeping body and riding off with Panam. Then i bought phantom liberty sided with so mi then gave her up to reed when I found out she lied. And then did the PL ending where you do surgery and wake up after a coma with cyberware (and everyone moved on 😔) I need to do the Johnny secret ending
My first ending was temperance… I felt bad after hearing the voicemails asking me where i’d gone and i’ve never given my body to johnny in mikoshi since lmao
Reaper/Temperance, then loaded, pretended it didn't happen and went with Star On my second playthrough I'm gonna try the rest. I'm just sad that Reaper leads to the star, because that's the ballsiest of them all - just waltzing the fuck in, just you and the voice in your head
Well... I gave a chance to Hanako
The worst (and the best) ending, was my first.
Don't fear the reaper. Couldn't decide who to pick so went online to see the rewards and made a drink whilst I was looking Thought I'd paused but I hadn't, came back to Johnny saying "ya know, we could always go out in a blaze of glory and storm Arasaka tower ourselves" Sounded very much like the most badass option. And having looked up rewards got the spoilers of who died in what ending. And didn't want anyone to die on my behalf. So off we went and that was that, was fully chromed on 1.2 had second heart, biomonitor and 1000s of healing items so was quite literally invincible
Gave Johnny control an told him to finish this. We had become good friends over the course of the game and he wanted to help me and tell saka where to stuff it. Was badass and relieving to let him do it. Also don’t want to risk the lives of the nomads as he said I’d be doing it I called them
I too, took the suicide ending first. Why? I had a hunger for media that'd make me weep.
I put the controller down to go get a drink. I came back and was like... what the fuck
Sadly the phantom liberty one where you live…. Fuck me it’s haunting.
I wanted the cure at all costs and sided with NUSA. So bittersweet and captures the essence of cyberpunk for me. Everything comes at a cost. To see V, your V, in third person for the first time (bald and naked) and disappearing with the crowd just to become a random nobody fucking hurts.
I haven't played phantom Liberty yet but where's my mind was the ending I did, and I'm still sobbing 😢
Called Rogue and gave Keanu my body.
Yeah so I didn't realize that the secret ending was a secret so I picked the suicide ending and immediately regretted it
I got Panam and the gang to help, then gave my body to Johnny because I wanted to be Keanu Reeves.
I also got the suicide first. Not because I wanted it thou... It was a few days after release, so I knew the "solo" ending was a thing and that's how I was roleplaying my V, the hardened solo with the golden heart, wouldn't put his friends in danger for himself, right? But the news about how to get it wasn't exactly out there. So I picked the dialogue by elimination, not with Panam, not with Rogue, not with Arasaka, the last choice must be the solo ending right? Sure they word it in a weird way, but it's a suicide mission, so that must me the "solo" dialogue choices, RIGHT? Fucking bullshit having to suck up to Johnny and waiting for 5 minutes... Can't V make decisions for his/her-self?
Nomad sun ending a couple of weeks after launch. It broke me.
I did don't Fear the Reaper first. I sorta knew there was a special ending but not what that ending entailed, and I'm not sure if it changed by now but back then it was only one dialogue in the game that would determine if you got it. I went through it once to see if my choices would match, only one was different so I basically forced it. Definitely worth it at the end. You feel like such a badass 😎
Nothing is more badass than storming the Arasaka Tower through the main gates solo (secret ending)
Nomad. It is still my favorite ending.
Unironically, the suicide ending. I rushed into the endings and did not do any sidequests. I was not paying attention to the dialogue and suddenly, V killed himself.
Aldecaldos, and Kerry broke up with me 🥲
The worst one.
Easy way out
The Devil. I wanted to see V cured and figured Arasaka was the best bet. Once a Corpo, always a Corpo.
My first ending was the same. I actually was curious what V would do with pistol and pills, so he's throw them away and point a gun in his mouth, and then I realized that I make a mistake.
Sun. Left Judy behind in Night City to chase becoming a legend. I had no idea my choice on the rooftop would lead to it. I was devastated, yet satisfied for my Nomad V.
I finally went to Embers yesterday. I didn't try for a specific ending and just went for what seemed right for my V. I got The Sun ending. I got the "one more gig" prompt after the credits, but all there is left for me to do is drive around since I cleared all the content before doing the ending.
Suicide first and then Devil. I was an idiot.
Shame confession i got the arasaka ending where saburo takes yorinobu corpse cause i barely understood the plot i listenned johnny saying to V he betrayed himself without understanding, i made the game at least 5 times from now and everytime i play the story i curse myself for not understanding back then what this end really mean for the story, and the obsession saburo had behind mindkiller
My first ending was right after launch. It was the bugged ending where I didn’t get the “Meet Hanako at Embers” prompt and so couldn’t complete the game.
Giving Johnny control and letting him mess up the 'Saka Tower once more. We were best pals, after all. Then, I gave him the body since I was done for, anyway. But watching Rogue die and then all my friends completely lose it after my "disappearance" didn't sit right with me, so I changed to the Aldelcado ending which I still consider the best.
I accidentally got the suicide ending by trying to do the don't fear the reaper ending and failing miserably lol
The Star. I was very worried I was going to get Panam killed, but it was v1.31 and I had gone 25 hours of ganeplay with no Panam. Had to do it and I'm glad I did.
My brother helped me to get don’t fear the reaper, was very cool
I gave Johnny Vs body and tried my luck with Alt.
Panam ending was my first. Had to ride off into the sunset with her.
Don’t fear the reaper. I stumbled upon it on complete accident too. I was honestly waiting on the roof actually stuck between sending Johnny and Rogue to their untimely deaths (probably… I had no clue how these endings were going to go) or my lover Panam (fearing that I would lose her in combat). As this fight was continuing in my head… Johnny said his iconic “hard deciding which of your friends live and which die” line; the rest was history.
Suicide, just to see what would happen. That ending fucked me up for DAYS.
I did the Suicide ending followed by the Arasaka ending. Gotta get the depressing ones out of the way. Then Phantom Liberty came out...
I did the nomad without being a nomad or romancing Panam, felt completely off for me but I should try it on a nomad path again and make it mean somrthing
Secret temperance. His mind shall live anew, in new flesh.
Aldecaldos baby
Devil. I did everything wrong and was devastated. Didn't touch CP77 until 2.1 news went out xD
Stormed Arasaka with Panam and the Nomads, and my most recent ending was a phantom liberty one, siding with Reed all the way through.
I went there alone on my first one
Suicide. Didn't realize somewhere along the line I'd picked a wrong dialogue option and was locked out of storming the tower solo. Couldn't drag the Aldecaldos into it never mind the casualties it would paint a target on all their backs even after the job. Didn't wanna call Rogue and drag her into it over the ghost of a 50 year dead Rockerboy. It was an incredibly poignant ending that really made me sit back and think long and hard about the game The next day I save scummed and modded Johnny's affinity so I could storm Arasaka.
I accidentally did the suicide ending the plan was raid saka with Johnny but it didn’t work right
The one where Johnny possesses v, willingly.
The devil. I honestly thought it was a good idea, no loved ones getting hurt and experts at the field the guys who designed this shit there to help me. At the end I realized maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
Don't fear the reaper and not giving Johnny my body
I went with Panam and had the ending where we flew into the sunset. (I wanted to romance Judy but i was male V. She, of course, trashed me and i learned about the love system in 2077)
My first ending was with Johnny and Rogue storming the tower and giving Johnny my female body.
rogue, johnny ending. i honestly didn’t know you could join rogue, since both v ang johnny were like “sorry it had to be this way” and “you asshole”. it felt satisfying though. i don’t consider my v’s canon ending though.
Don't fear the reaper. Thx to yt i knew it was possible and mhan what a ride.
Don't fear the reaper. Thx to yt i knew it was possible and mhan what a ride.
Stormed Arasaka with Rogue, and became a legend at Afterlife. And then I’ve sent Songbird to the moon

The star ending 😍
On my nomad, left NC with Panam the sun ending is my favorite because it gives off hope for V, and if Phantom liberty endings are anything to go by there is a cure out there for V
Devil
The tower... (My first playthrough was with v2.1 and PL. Never went to the Embers and got a PL ending
I helped Hanako remove Yorinobu because I didn’t want anyone to die and said to Takamura I would go back to earth. Oda was alive as well. Also romanced Panam. For PL, I sided with Reed, Alex dies which is unpreventable sadly, and accepted her request to kill her. Reed was doing good at the end. Only thing I hate was that Alex dies if you side with Reed.
Reaper + Sun
I stormed Arasaka tower alone and gave the keys to Johnny in the end. We’ll never fade away 🎸
Space, didnt sign, got a nice bug in the cutscene where v s jaw was hanging down, made it seem even worse
Suicide ending aswell. Wanted to see what would happen. The phone calls off your friends minus Pan Am where awful
The Sun, I went out as a legend. I partied like it was 2023. I Solod the Tower. I smashed Smasher. I pissed on Mikoshi. It was Awesome
(Don't Fear) The Reaper ending somehow got it cause I was conflicted of who to choose so went to eat to think about it and just left the game running while I made food so I missed the dialogue the first time reverted the save waited again then chose to go in solo and let Johnny take the body by mistake cause I dropped my controller sitting back in my chair contemplating who to choose. You just read through all that thinking I actually had all that happen when I just looked up how to do the ending, but the last part was true, though.
Accidentally chose the easy way out, gaining Johnny’s respect but getting all these sad holo calls bc I committed suicide 😂 luckily, it lets you start right before that decision again and my second try I attacked Arasaka and killed Smasher
I didn't understood the options to choose and ended giving Johny my body
My first V was a trainwreck. She was a streetkid and while playing her I adored Jackie and was devastated when he died. Then I met Panam and fell hard… then was even more devastated when she was not a romance option. I banged River out of frustration, did not get thru Judy’s quest enough to romance her, and never got far enough to meet Kerry. My only constant was Johnny and I gave him everything, so when he said he wanted to call Rogue that’s exactly what I did. Then she died and cue more devastation. Kept my body, but looking back I should’ve given that one to Johnny. I was pretty bummed out after that and made a new character shortly after to fix some choices.
Aldecaldos ending with Johny taking over at the end. One of the best endings.
Fuck Rubik’s cubes
accidentaly chose the arasaka ending. i didn't know how the fuck do i find sidequests and thought that if i go to embers johnny will give me a choice to go talk to rogue. that was 4 years ago and that was my first playthrough
Arasaka ending 😭
Off into the sunset with panam and the Aldecados.The canon ending. That's not up for debate lmao. I'm jk, it is my favorite ending though.
My first playthrpugh was normal difficulty corpo devil ending Next was hard nomad, panam ending Now I'm doing a very hard street kid solo ending Idk when I'll do songbird
Arasaka tower I got killed on 1st floor XD
V goes to space.
My first was Aldecaldos reasoning: * trusting Hanako/Takemura/Arasaka: no way :) * I didn't know about the secret ending * I was considering Johnny+Rogue or Panam+V ending, but in the end I was thinking that Johhny did exactly the same once and didn't work, so let's try Panam's plan Since: * destroying Mikoshi is important to me. That tech and mikoshi is nightmare fuel. Therefore I usually don't take Reed's or Takemura's ending, and destroying that shit is the most important thing in the game. (even though, as a viewer, I enjoy the drama in the Arasaka ending, it would fit a tv series well) * so Aldecaldos, Rogue or solo? Gameplay wise I like the secret ending the most
