Nihilism at its absolute narrative worst
The 1 star is for the new alternative ending, specifically. Sadly I am only allowed one review, and of limited length. So 1 star will affect the whole game, sadly, but you are the architects of this situation, GOG. This DLC played for the most part like a fine gourmet meal. Served with a side dish of corpoduck. This is part of a larger trend, not only in entertainment but big business lately, where the customer is no longer always right. In fact, the customer is always wrong, because large corporations know better. What does this have to do with this DLC? Everything. Avoiding spoilers as much as I can, I can safely say that this ending absolutely deconstructs the point of the game itself, as an escapist fantasy. Worse, it does so in such a sanguine, forced manner that even Johnny Silverhand feels the need to point out that this isn't how he imagined things would go, and he has every right to, because that ending is character assassinating, gaping plot hole. A gaping plot hole festering with the arrogance of a writer who, come what may, was dead set on a specific ending, even if it came at the expense of all logic, even if they hadn't earned it through their narrative merits. An ending forced upon us. to serve whatever needs there were, the needs of whomever, except for the needs of the people who are actually paying for their games. I'm pretty sure that if someone made a poll, the ask for that ending would be close to non-existent. And you know what CDPR (and entertainment industry at large)? If I want to feel ordinary, I don't need to upgrade my computer and buy your expensive game. Think about that. I don't need YOU to feel like I already do. Might as well save myself some money... That means I won't be standing in line to pre-order your next game. What you made me feel is utterly disrespected as a customer, and at least by the standards of the old world, that should be cause a for concern. It probably isn't though is it? Not to you. You know better.
