If you like rebels and bad boys, then this character deserves your attention. Whether or not it's worth liking, however, depends largely on the player's progression. The original concept of the hero is quite repulsive.
В Cyberpunk 2077 Johnny Silverhand is practically the second main character in the game. He is charismatic, bright, noisy and lives in V's head, so this character cannot be ignored. However his image is not as unambiguous as it might seem at first glance by trailers. Yes, he is charming, but this is not enough to be considered a good person. We have 5 undeniable facts for you why Johnny is the bad guy, and he doesn't deserve your sympathy (at least until you finish the game).
Coarseness
One of the main complaints about the game is her indulgence of base passions, and Johnny Silverhand does nothing to fix it. He throws rudeness to the place and no, like a child whose parents have stopped watching. We're not saying swearing has no place in Cyberpunk 2077, but Johnny is a little over the top with this. It does not suit him in the same way as if he spoke in the complex literary language of the 18th century.
character image should not consist only of clichés. A rockerboy is not necessarily a swindler who does not know the rules of etiquette. In this case, the developers tried to play on contrasts, and they did not do it very well.
Narcissism
Johnny Silverhand is rather repulsive from the first moments because of his concept. He greedy, dismissive of the feelings of others, and constantly endangering his friendsto promote your business. He claims to be fighting for his ideals, but in reality he seems to be fighting for his own ego. Of course, over the course of the story, if the player makes the right choices, the image of Johnny changes slightly in a positive direction, but this first impression is hard to forget. Silverhand before meeting V is exclusively negative image.
He took possession of V's body
This is not so much Silverhand's fault as Arasaka and bad rock, but part of the blame for Vee's predicament lies on Johnny as well. On the one hand, this union saved the main character's life, but also doomed him either to death at the hands of the corporation, or to a complete loss of soul and consciousness due to Johnny. In addition, Silverhand himself does not simplify the situation. He doesn't care about V's feelings. At the beginning of the game, this person for him is just a vessel, an instrument, and his ideas and aspirations are indifferent to him. This is part of his fault.
Cruelty
Regardless of the reason, cruelty is unacceptable. Although most players will unequivocally agree that Arasaka is an evil corporation, but innocent people worked for them. Does the janitor who sweeps the floors deserve to be the victim of this terror? A huge number of ordinary employees who earned their living and did not participate in dark deeds began to suffer because of Johnny's ambitions. He had to look for other, more peaceful ways, but ended up on the same level with those corporations that he hated so much.
He was a bad guy
Johnny's selfish nature hurts more than just his friends. Throughout Silverhand's plot, we see how he shows a romantic interest in two women at once. You can guess that as a result everything ended badly. To Johnny's credit, he understands the mistake in his own way and does everything possible to correct the missteps he has committed. However, this is the new Silverhand who learned a lot from V. Old Johnny didn't care about other people's feelings, he was just a bad guylike he couldn't be a rockerboy otherwise.
