FUNDAMENTALLY, CYBERPUNK 2077 IS NOT A GAME ABOUT OBTAINING RICHES, FAME OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, DESPITE WHAT MANY PISSY REVIEWERS MIGHT SAY ABOUT IT- FIRST AND FOREMOST, IT'S A GAME ABOUT HUMAN CONNECTION IN FACE OF A GREAT TRAGEDY, EITHER PERSONAL OR SOCIETAL. V IS DYING, AND SO IS THE WORLD AROUND THEM, DUE TO CAPITALIST EXPLOITATION- V'S DESIRE TO GET RICH AND CLIMB THE SOCIAL LADDER TO GET OUT OF POVERTY BY AQUIRING MONEY AND FAME, A GOAL THAT'S VERY TYPICAL FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN A HYPERCAPITALIST SOCIETY, AND THE PLANET SLOWLY DYING DUE TO CORPO EXPLOITATION, WITH FLORA AND FAUNA DYING OFF, WATER AND AIR BECOMING POLLUTED AND CLIMATE CHANGE BECOMING MORE AND MORE RUTHLESS. IN A WORLD LIKE THIS, WHAT DO WE HAVE TO HOLD ON TO? THE GAME SEEMS TO IMPLY THAT OTHER HUMAN BEINGS ARE THE ONLY THING WORTH FIGHTING FOR- BY DOING QUESTS FOR CHARACTERS LIKE JUDY, PANAM, RIVER, KERRY, CLAIRE, MISTY OR EVEN JOHNNY, V IS ABLE TO BRING POSITIVE CHANGE INTO THESE CHARACTERS' LIVES. CRUTIALLY, ALL OF THEIR QUESTS CENTER AROUND MOURNING, SHOWING JUST WHAT BIG OF AN IMPACT DEATH HAS ON YOUR LOVED ONES, SOMETHING THAT TIES BACK TO THE PROTAGONISTS, V AND JOHNNY, GIVEN THAT ONE OF THEM WILL DIE SOON, AND ONE OF THEM HAS DIED ALREADY- IT'S A WAKE UP CALL FOR THEM, FOR V TO USE THE TIME THEY HAVE LEFT WISELY AND FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS, AKA THEIR LOVED ONES, AND FOR JOHNNY TO SEE JUST HOW BIG OF AN IMPACT THE SELFISH LIFE HE LED HAD ON PEOPLE LIKE ROGUE, KERRY OR ALT. THAT'S WHY THE BOND BETWEEN JOHNNY AND V IS SO IMPORTANT TO THE NARRATIVE- JOHNNY IS WHO V CAN BECOME IF THEY WILL CONTINUE ON THE PATH OF SURVIVAL BY ALL MEANS AND THIRST FOR FAME, AND V IS WHO JOHNNY COULD'VE BEEN IF HE'D PRIORITIZE HIS FRIENDS AND PARTNERS WHILE HE WAS ALIVE. V CAN HELP JOHNNY TO TRY REPAIR AT LEAST SOME OF THE MISTAKES HE MADE IN LIFE, WHILE JOHNNY CAN WARN V AND SERVE AS THEIR GUIDE, AS FLAWED AND SELFISH HE MIGHT BE SOMETIMES. THEY ARE BOTH ON A CRASH COURSE TO BECOMING THE SAME PERSON ANYWAYS, SO THEY MIGHT AS WELL BE THE BEST OF THE BOTH OF THEM. TRANSCENDENCE AND CHANGE IN GENERAL ARE IMPORTANT THEMES OF THE GAME TOO, WITH V FEARING THEIR DEATH AND BECOMING JOHNNY, WHEN THEY SHOULD ACCEPT THAT NOTHING IN LIFE IS PERMANENT, AND THEY ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING INTO DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THEMSELVES. EVEN THEIR SLOW CHANGE INTO JOHNNY, OR, MORE PRECISELY, AN AMALGAMATE OF THE TWO OF THEM, ISN'T THAT DIFFERENT FROM THE CHANGE EVERYONE GOES THROUGH ALL THE TIME, EVERY DAY. IN THE END, V CAN ASCEND INTO A BEING OF THE NET AND GIVING THEIR BODY TO JOHNNY, GOING THROUGH THE MOST LITERAL READING OF THAT "CHANGE" THEME IN THE GAME. JOHNNY'S ARC IS ALSO HEAVILY TIED TO CHANGE, AND THAT'S WHERE HIS CHARACTER ARC COMES IN-
They deserve all the love and peace <33
Entry 8: Don't think the old tapeworm over here liked me discussing my relationship with Kerry (Jealous perhaps? Or do you think the gonk's too damn stubborn to join us?)
Entry 4: "No regrets" - hell yeah, little flamingo dude, I hope you have zero regrets as you sleep better than anyone here in Night City.
ever since phantom liberty ive been obsessed with the idea of johnny having knowledge of generationally-relevant things that v would not be able to comprehend. yes this includes understanding and regularly using the term "slay" you cannot tell me that he wouldnt say that just to confuse v
guess what i’ve been up to again
(if you follow me on instagram and you got all 4 drawings at once i’m sorry you have to see them again lol)
My Babies 🥺🥺🥺🥺💜💜💜💜

Thank you so much, sweet friend!
✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨
WHAT’S GOING ON?!?!?
Seriously, what the hell???
I’m trying to take screenshots of Vintra and Vanek (my Vs) in photomode and everytime, their top inner clothing disappear...
It happens both when I try to take picture of them naturally and when I replace a NPC model with AMM.
Does someone know what’s going on? Am I the only one who has that problem?

My attempt at a cyberpunk 2077 iceberg is complete. I’ve tried to focus on (confirmed) cut content, easter eggs and lesser-known trivia. I know that the lowest tier is usually used for creepypastas and making shit up, but my main goal was to share some trivia and such. I’m 100% sure I’ve forgotten about something, but I was running out of space anyway 😅. These icebergs are highly subjective, so it’s possible that something that’s common knowledge to you is near the bottom, while a new thing to you is at the top. Entries written in italics are fan theories/unconfirmed. Explanations for all entries under the cut:
