I just finished cyberpunk 2077 the ending was bad. I liked the characters and the moment to moment gameplay, but the overall narrative was weak and very lib brained.
I just felt like Jeff Goldblum's character in Jurassic Park playing that game. "Now eventually you do plan to have cyberpunk in the cyberpunk game, right?"
Yeah the story, even the littlest side missions, are distressingly not punk. A lot of the time you're literally working for the cops. And then Johnny is a fun character, but a terrible revolutionary. He nuked Arasaka tower (
) but then you learn that he did it basically because he was a shitty boyfriend. 
My understanding talking to people that are familiar with Cyberpunk lore is that in the tabletop setting Johnny is a much different character, but when CD Projekt Red got Keanu to play him, they made him more Reddit le epic man instead of how he's originally thought of. But yeah, you're right about him in the game and it's just another in a long list of disappointments.
I don't know anything about tabletop!Johnny but I am begging videogame!Johnny to read theory
I tried so hard to get into Cyberpunk, but ffs the story was so damn boring. That your choice of upbringing leads no difference in the game is disappointing af.
