10 Bad Video Game Choices That Are Secretly The Best Option
10. Don't Answer Johnny - Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk features several different endings that range from slightly depressing to full-on psychological torment.
The best ending out of all of them is probably the secret one where V decides to storm Arasaka all on their own, and funnily enough (in the gallows humor sort of way), it's unlocked by them pondering if they should commit suicide.
To pick the secret ending, V needs to not make a choice during the final discussion about storming Arasaka with Johnny. This will cause them to consider ending their lives, but if their friendship score with Johnny is high enough, the waiting will also unlock a second option where suicide turns into a suicide mission.
In this choice, V decides to solo the Arasaka forces and blow up the tower, or die in a blaze of glory. What makes this choice special is that the mission that follows is the only permadeath scenario in the game.
If you die, the game will instantly end and deem your attempt a failure, but if you make it to the end, you get the best ending possible, where V foils Arasaka's plans and all of their friends are still alive.
Now that's how you make lemonade out of lemons!
