Heartless Cyberpunk 2077 player doesn’t care about this character’s death—I agree

The sci-fi world of Night City is a cruel, harsh one. It chews people up and spits them out, dead. Protagonist V loses one of their closest friends at the start of Cyberpunk 2077, but a lot of players, myself included, really don’t care.

When Jackie dies a couple of hours into the story, V is traumatized. He’s been their best friend for six months, but all we see of that is a brief montage of crime sprees and fast cars. It’s a cool moment that sets the tone of their relationship, but we as players don’t have any time to form our own opinions of him.
