your games also look like this? It is either total domination by your jungler, or your team just feeds until 20 minutes. If you play super defensively, you end up with zero impact and no stats. That is my experience every other game. I feel like autofill parity for junglers completely ruined Gold and Plat elo. Top lane is unplayable right now unless you stomp your lane.
The Tower ending suggests that Judy waited for us for a very long time. She mentions that it took her about two years before she could finally move on. This implies that well over two years must have passed since our disappearance, debunking the theory held by some players that she fled Night City immediately after we left. During the DLC prologue, if we fail to reply to her texts and call her later, she reacts with visible anger and distress. The game hints that she struggles deeply with abandonment. Therefore, our sudden two-year absence must have been devastating for her mental health. Even in the Tower epilogue, Judy seems somewhat emotionally unsettled. She appears unsure whether she is truly happy in her new life or if she is merely trying to convince herself that she is.
I’ve been reading old posts about the romance with Judy and the Aldecaldos ending. I noticed nobody ever mentions that Judy should actually feel right at home in a desert environment. She grew up in Laguna Bend out in the Badlands, so that kind of setting isn't anything new for her.
Whenever I play this ending, the news that V only has six months to live doesn't feel that devastating. Judy won't be left alone because she already knows Carol. Even if V passes away, Judy won't be an outsider there. I believe that in the world of Cyberpunk, leaving Night City is the key to solving problems, and I think they’ll find a way to fix this one too. Even though many people call this ending "fanfiction," I don't see it that way.
I wonder if Judy’s message during the credits takes place within the timeline of "The Sun" ending. She still seems genuinely happy. I’m also shocked that this is the only recording where you can actually hear V’s voice. It’s incredibly sweet that she has such a unique keepsake.
Just wanted to add at the end that I might be wrong about some of this, so sorry if that's the case!
If we side with Reed but choose to kill So Mi in the end, does she still admit to lying about the cure? Or can you only hear that truth if you stay loyal to her and send her to space?
Have you ever wondered if the time we spent with Jackie was actually enough to call him a true friend? Personally, I feel like the early "time skip" in the story really messed with how we perceive his character.
He enters V’s life like a whirlwind, we see a quick montage of their adventures, and then he’s gone just as fast. Does that brief window provide enough foundation for the deep emotional bond the game expects us to feel? Or was their chemistry strong enough that the lack of screen time didn't matter?
I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but when romancing Panam, during Misty’s tarot reading after making the choice on the rooftop, Misty mentions that V never told her they were seeing someone. Interestingly, during an identical tarot reading when romancing Judy, this dialogue does not appear at all.
It is fascinating how the Aldecaldos ending provides a poignant epilogue to Evelyn Parker's arc. Only in the final moments does the game suggest that the money from selling the Relic was meant to be a ticket to a fresh start for her and Judy. This revelation makes a second playthrough incredibly rewarding. When you know what was at stake, Judy’s intense anger following the failed heist at Konpeki Plaza takes on a much deeper meaning. It wasn't just about a job gone wrong; it was the collapse of her entire future. We learn from Maiko’s laptop that she previously used Judy to climb the ranks of the Tyger Claws, which is why their relationship ended. Evelyn was Judy's chance to finally get things right. During the final convoy sequence, Judy reveals that this escape was something she and Evelyn had fantasized about constantly. They had planned their departure down to the last detail, dreaming of what they would do once they finally left Night City behind. Evelyn essentially gave her life for those dreams. Seeing Judy finally reach that horizon with the Aldecaldos brings the story full circle, offering a beautiful yet tragic perspective on a woman who sacrificed everything for a freedom she never got to see.
