10 Amazing Video Game Characters That Were Killed Off Way Too Quickly

Jackie's death in Cyberpunk 2077 isn't anything surprising. The fact he wasn't going to make it was obvious even before Cyberpunk was released thanks to the game's trailer that basically spoiled his demise.

Still, a lot of people are upset about Jackie's death, not because they didn't expect it but because it feels rushed.

While Jackie's death makes sense story-wise, being the final nail in the coffin of V's past, the fans of the game think it happens too fast to properly establish his bond with their character.

Aside from two missions and a quick montage showcasing V and Jackie getting up to no good, you don't really get to learn more about his character or just how much he means to their partner-in-crime.

Because of this, his sudden death doesn't hit you as hard as it could, and it takes away from his overall role in the story.

From the little glimpse into who he is that you get, Jackie seems like a fascinating figure and a great friend, but there's no way for you to truly verify it before he is taken away from you, which is why most people simply forget about him and don't really care about his death after the fact.
