*I have seen trailers of this game (2014 Announcement, E3 2018, E3 2019, gameplay trailers) I also played about 1 hour of the game upon release but dont remember the experience as I shelved the game for a future playthrough
but apart from that I have no knowledge of the world, story, characters and the majority of the game itself. Semi-blind in that context but for all intents and purposes a Blind Playthrough of Cyberpunk is finally here!
Even with censorship on, Cyberpunk is apparently too hardcore for YT and has been hit with monetization penalties. Your support watching this series and future videos is much appreciated, and I hope that this isn't a massive issue for the majority of the let's play.
If you'd like to support me directly I do have a Patreon, and as a thank you for allowing me to do this full time I give back 7 days of early access to my content! catch up and be ahead of the 2077 playthrough if you'd like :)

dude why didnt u play lies of p ???wtf.who gives a fuck about this mediocre game years after it was released ???
@@user-yp5bc3qq9d Please shut up, the man can play whatever makes him happy
@Mapocolops I've heard theres a way to "disclose" the nudity to youtube as being part of the game to retain monetization. Maybe that could help?
@user-yp5bc3qq9d hey buddy, use your brain
@@user-yp5bc3qq9d lol RUclips comments are full of babies
Everythiing up to the start of the montage is streetkid. The montage is the same regardless of how you start. It's just about getting you and Jackie to know each other and build some rep on the street.
Yeah, sadly the lifepath matter very little, though I think Corpo has my favorite dialogue lines out of everyone once they do come into play.
@@kolosmenus I think it's something they'd liked to have done more with, but just didn't have the resource to do it. For me, I don't think it should change the main story at all, just slightly different paths to reach the same key areas.
You do get a lifepath specific quest though. But it's very small and simple.
@@kolosmenuscorpo def has the best options
streetkid gets the most lore dialogue options, corpo gets the most helpful dialogue options, and nomad gets the most free stuff
I started this game recently and picked Nomad. You start outside the city and once you get your cargo in with Jackie the montage plays. To me it felt great because it was establishing V in the city and I didn't have to deal with a ton of character introductions. I think the 6 month gap would have been kind of boring to play through honestly. Everyone is different, but I liked it.
OH HELL GODDAMN YEAH - HAVE FUN MAAAAAN! Seriously, this has grown to become my favourite game of all time
Why? It was mediocre at best. Especially compared to how it was marketed, as some ultra-deep “every decision matters” RPG.
"bUt tHe mArKeTinG"
Let people enjoy things. Go troll somewhere else.
@@_ArsNova
@@_ArsNovagod forbid someone likes a game
@@_ArsNova it's my all time favourite game as well
@@_ArsNova True its an action game with RPG elements rather. But its still incredibly good. Keep coping
T-Bug: "Fingers crossed it's not too late. Ugh, hate this life or death shit. Hurry."
Mapo: **Rummages through the kitchen, spends time on a computer, and admires plastic textures as intense music plays**
Doesn't she know who is playing? lmao
Right? Even though I've played multiple times, I hate leaving unread items behind.
Completed this game 3 different times, absolutely loved it. Silverhand is one of the best characters in gaming imo.
You're not wrong about that 6 month gap. Jackie's written well enough that he's still likeable and you'll probably form a good connection to him, but skipping over all that actual bonding time does feel like a misstep by the game.
I kind of agree, but the prologue for this game is already fairly extensive as it is, I'm not sure it would make much sense to draw it out even more just for this. The corpo backstory doesn't have this issue imo as you already know Jackie from the start, maybe they should have made that the case for all of them.
@@outdunI always found it weird that it was the corpo life path that makes it so you already know Jackie because to me street kid would make the most sense because you grew up in the same neighbourhood as him and even frequent the bar that his mother owns.
they had complains (who those idiots?!) what witcher3 is wery long game, so they decided to cut off some hours of game :)
@@MrEvilside Devs can analyze the cloud saves of players, so they probably found that most save games never reached the ending of Witcher 3
Personally, I wish we had got those 6 months with Jackie as the DLC story instead of Phantom Liberty (But I get why they didn't, it would look bad for them, people would complain that they were making us pay for cut content)
WHAAAAT? This was certainly unexpected, hope you have a blast with this series!
Yeah, I can't wait to see him progress. I just finished my first playthrough recently, and that was a blast. I went Corpo, because I thought it would have some interesting interactions with other characters. I do find that it helps with some characters, but usually just pisses off most of everyone else. Phantom Liberty was awesome, and in general, I really appreciate the immersive artistic perspective. It's got good character interaction, and I really felt myself being in V's shoes. I've played a lot of games, and to have something so clearly fictional (at least for now) feel so right is not something I get often.
I think the current reality of AI makes it more immersive that way, and I also like that the game doesn't just treat AI like tools. They also make the difference between ANI, AGI, and ASI clear as well, with the main representation of that being the difference between Delamain and Alt, if you don't combine all of Delamain's personalities.
I think Mapo is really gonna dig this game, and I'll be excited to see it through.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
yooooo CONTENT! just finished my own first playthrough+DLC recently after hearing the game is 'fixed', and it's fantastic(with some minor issues still)
glad to have someone to watch who isn't dumb, boring or diverts 90% of attention to talking to stream chat
Stream chat is just horrible for the player to pay attention to anything. Ruins a first playthrough really
mapo jesus christ i continue to love everything you put out i cant believe the consistency of your channel and i will forever support you
"Feel like we'll be able to figure it out as we go along." Famous last words?
Damn it really takes away from the rawness and the horror to have all the disfigured bodies covered up and the corpses dressed.
Dude you’re the PERFECT person for this. I’ve wanted to actually see what this game is about LP wise for a while. But one guy I watch - he edits a lot of it out, so I feel like I miss whatever the story is. And the other LPs i have saved are full blind LPS, but they’re by people that’ll annoy me 😂
So glad you’re walking me/us through this - appreciate you Mapo ❤
Why wouldn't you just play it yourself?
@@Assdafflabaff You do realize some people enjoy watching others play a game they already played.
@@lockekappa500 Obviously, but the guy said he's been waiting to see what the game is about, implying he hasn't played it yet.
@@Assdafflabaff He said LP wise, which is "Lets Play" wise, so I assumed he was wanting to see it from that perspective, but maybe I was wrong.
@@lockekappa500 I just don't get why people watch let's plays of games they want to play, even if this guy didn't. I watch let's plays of games I never intend to try, or games I've beaten. If I'm actually interested in trying a game I would never spoil it by watching someone else, but some people do. It's weird to me.
the way aussies say "tattoo" will never not make me giggle teehee
Oh god, it's happening! I haven't rushed to watch a video so fast after reading the notification. I really really hope you love this game! Male V is very good, and you'll hear no criticism from me, but if you ever do a second playthrough, I'd urge Female V because she has one of the very best voice acting performances I've ever heard.
Oh boy, this is going to be a long playthrough! Enjoy the side missions, it's clearly one of the main selling points for this game IMHO, along with its soundtrack (especially in its DLC, Phantom Liberty)... Ironically, after finishing this game about 4-5 times, I personally had more annoying bugs after CDPR redeemed themselves by adding content and improving QoL. Regardless, it's still one of my favorite open world games at the moment. There are plenty of games in the Cyberpunk genre, but if I were to recommend only a few it would probably be Cyberpunk 2077, Deus Ex, and Syndicate (the very first one from Bullfrog).
My favourite bug was when it loads into the montage after you complete the intro, and all the characters are t-posing as the music that's in key but sounds so memeable starts playing...
...my sheer joy at encountering that *again* after I came back to CP after the 2.0 patch was the highlight of 2023 for me lol
Yeah 2.0 was perfect. And then 2.01 etc happened and they just kind of ruined perfection. Still a great game.
Never watched 30 minutes of somebody customizing their avatar for a first person game but i loved it 😂
I almost screamed like a child when I saw this thumbnail. This is gonna be as good as mass effect let’s gooooo
Middle Manager at CDPR: "We need a quick bit of music for the beginning of Cyberpunk - it's just for the character creation part, so no need to go too hard."
Cyberpunk: "SIT THE FUCK DOWN, HERE WE GO"
It’s actually the instrumental version of “no save point” ( I forget who made the song )
I'm so fucking happy you're finally doing this game, I've been looking forward to your playthrough for a very long time. Let's goooooooooo!
Omg I can't believe I came across your channel!!! I like that you take the time to play and even customise too, I'm so excited to watch the rest of the videos (I have a lot of catch up lol)
It's also nice to follow another Australian streamer too 😋
I was looking for a playthrough just like this. I love that you spend so much time checking out details.
I’m excited whenever I see new cp blind playthroughs. Sure thr storyline isn’t perfect, but I love the experience minus the glitched that they hopefully fixed by now.
Glitches
it genuinely seems like you're the only person that actually takes in a game and enjoys everything it has to offer on this website, and that's saying a lot, i waited for this for a few months, you're gonna love this game man, big up!!
I'm actually SO excited to see you experience this, even with all the bumps in the road it was still one of my top 5 favourite games EVER, the story had me invested beyond any other game I'd ever played. and now with the DLC and all the patches it's only gotten better!
I played this game for one hour on launch day and haven't touched it since. Then, 2 months ago, I started playing it again and I've been the time of my life
Woohoo for a Mapo Cyberpunk playthrough! I do heartily agree with those advising to watch the anime sooner rather than later. The anime doesn't spoil the game's story, but the game can absolutely spoil the anime's story.
Ayyyy Mapos starting his Cyberpunk playthrough!!! I've been waiting for this for so long!
YAY!!! This and Baldurs Gate 3 are currently my most anticipated playthroughs for this channel! I’ve been with you from the start of your journey and I’ve watched so many hours of amazing gaming content with you. I’m super hyped you’re diving into this!!
So exited to see a new blind playthrough after 3 years, thanks 🥰
1:14:00 the montage goes for everyone actually. But it serves as a cool way to gove you an overview. Experiencing is always better, but there's plaenty to experience ahead.
Loved this game from release, even on console. Since I’ve found your channel a few years back I’d wondered if you were gonna play and can say I’m pumped to watch this whole thing! So many things you can do to immerse yourself in Night City and since release this game just keeps getting better and better. Have fun and enjoy brother mapo!!
Opened RUclips, saw this video, got so hype. So excited mapo!
Great playthrough! I love how you're actually taking all the sights in, and exploring the game!
Dude, I love your channel, but if I knew you were playing one of my favorite games, I'D HAVE CHECKED IN SOONER. Can't wait to watch the rest!
Yes, my choom! I just finished the game again and the expansion was incredible! Can't wait to see the whole series!
If you want to know what was in the tutorials you skipped, after stealth there is one on parrying and Katanas.
Parry control is exactly what you would expect, block right before their hit to auto hit them back and take no damage.
Of note in the stealth tutorial: marking enemies to see them through walls permanently, and marking cameras to see their field of vision in real time. Also you can scan lots of things in the world to get more info on it, not just for hacking / marking enemies.
The soundtrack, story, characters, dialogue, gameplay, lore and the art direction make this a game a certified masterpiece, pair it up with the anime and you have one of best fictional worlds ever created !!!
“Masterpiece”? It was mediocre at best. And a downright scam when you factor in how it was marketed.
@@_ArsNova You clearly haven't played the game mate, as always pearls before swine...
@@_ArsNovaI did like the game but it was buggy, unfinished and I do think it was a scam.
@@ninototo1 But what about after all the massive patches and dlc?
@@jeremywright9511
I didn't try it after the updates, maybe I will one day. But releasing it in such an unfinished state and advertising cut features was still scummy.
Ah man, yakuza, deus ex. And the Witcher eventually? Good lord I’m so excited for this game and the rest!!!
Hype!
Just subscribed cause I love this game and can't wait to see how you enjoy it! I played it at launch and waited for PL to release before my replays and I can say that it really feels like it finally has the love it deserves from the devs
fun fact, at 38:50 you see the number one there being Z1R343L aka Zireael (the Swallow in witcher's ancient elven which is the name given to Ciri a protagonist in the Witcher saga). I am not sure if you did play it, but my god if you get to play the witcher your mind will be blown!
btw, just observed this watching the video, didn't even notice it on my playthrough
Clothes are *almost* purely cosmetic, and once you pick something up it's permanently unlocked in your wardrobe, so you're free to sell all the clothes you pick up if you want. Excited to see you play this one!
Transmog is still after 2.0 my favorite feature they added. It's just so freeing
I love how Jackie is a tutorial guide for the beginning of the game but he felt more then that he felt like a true friend a amazing voiced and written character I’m sad that he died still 😭
whoa whoa easy on the spoilers
Love that you’re taking it all in. Other’s just skim through it. The lore is amazing.
Really happy I found your channel, it's my favorite game off all time and to see someone pay attention to textshards and details is feels really satisfying to watch along. Great video!
That thumb comment earned you a sub all by itself😂😂 loving the content
Extremely excited for this playthrough! I've been enjoing it myself past few weeks as well, waiting beforehand to give it a chance. Can't wait to find out what lifepath you're gonna gravitate to. I found my street kid female V most irresistable (as a girlie, her voice's just.. ugh) and personal "canon".
Hope you enjoy it!
PS. Now I'd say the walking toggle's very important in certain scenic moments, and it helps making the playing\viewing experience more smooth.
Ohhhhh!!! I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to watch this episode and your journey in Night City. A loooooot of reading is coming up, one of my favourite parts of the game, all the lore scattered around ❤ let's goooo mapo (and fem V sounds totally baddass!!)
No no! Don't leave your clothes in your stash! Every piece of clothes you pick up is forever with you in wardrobe. You should always take all clothes and sell/disassemble them after
Putting them in your stash makes them available from your vehicle storage. So putting stuff in there makes sense
@@lungfulldrummer8921 How is it in any way relevant?
@@syressx9098 it is in the respect that if you choose to play through the game and not scrap and sell everything. Putting them in your stash makes them accessible without having to carry the extra weight.
@@lungfulldrummer8921 But why do you need them accessible?? There always there for you in your wardrobe. Clothes have value only if they have stats, and it's not the case here.
I logged in simply to say how excited I am to see you playing Cyberpunk. Can't wait for more of this series!
Don’t worry even without the parts from the time jump the game still does an amazing job of getting you to like Jackie. Though it still is kinda disappointing we don’t get to experience everything.
Holy cow, I just finished watching my first of your playthroughs, which was Disco Elysium, and I really loved it. I can't stop watching people play Cyberpunk Blind at the moment and here you are! Amazing, can't wait to see you experience my favourite game!
This game with proper HDR on a display that supports it is just game changing. The ray tracing is nice but the HDR is almost twice as impactful.
Oh man I've been waiting for this let's play since the game released. I'm excited for this one!
Phantom Liberty isnt post game, after a certain point itll pop up. Play it when you feel like it, its pretty well integrated
Oh I didn't know this LP would drop. That'll be top content. Mapo is the analyzing type who looks behind the obvious and this story-driven game isn't as obvious as I thought when I played it.
You single handily made me wanna to go and finally play the games that I've brought from past Steam discount sales but never played like Dishonored and now CP2077 and I thank you for that.
Oh thank god they fixed the sleep animation lmao. You used to just lie down facing your pillows, like half on and half off the bed. Like they forgot to rotate the animation 90 degrees to match the bed or something. Yes it's these minute things that I care about the most :P
Let's Go!! I'm so excited you finally got to play this. I played it for the first time last year after all the patches and DLC and it quickly became one of my favorite games. I'm not a big RPG player but there's something about Project Red's way of telling their stories and crafting character interactions and side quests that I just love so much.
Also as others have mentioned have mentioned it, I actually recommend watching the anime along with the playthrough. It worked great for me, it acts sort of a companion piece or even prequel story and there's a certain hidden side quest that is related to the show.
So glad you're playing this. And I'm glad you uploaded it in 1440p!
Very rocky launch (infamously so), and by no means perfect (early game montage is one great example of this), but the game is in a pretty good place now, and a thoroughly enjoyable experience imo.
the ai still seems like it's a bit rough
finally!! I was hoping to see you play this game since I saw you play the Kojima's games, you put all of your attention to the story and it makes your playthroughs so satisfaying to watch with this kind opf games where the narrative is the best. I hope you enjoy my favorite game ever.
It is actually such a nice surprise to see you playing this blind, hope you enjoy it!
To be clear, Edgerunners is (usually) not in reference to the anime. Edgerunner as a term in the series predates the anime.
Also yeah, the anime is really good. Highly recommend. English dub suits it a bit better than the Japanese, and its a very very high quality dub.
Yeeeeaaah! Very happy you got to this game!
For an environment lover such as yourself, this will be a treat (you already might have guessed that)
Small tip about your outfit, you have your "Wardrobe outfits" which is basically a "skin", compiling every clothing items you find in the game, and then the items you equip in your inventory which take into account the perks of said items.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do (6 runs, around 500+ hrs on it)
Have fun!
I love your content Mapo. I only have time to watch you play games I love and haven't been here for a while. But now I'm so excited to watch you play Cyberpunk
Omg so happy you're embanking on this adventure! Was a big fan of your DA playthroughs and here we are :D gonna share this adventure with you brother!:)
Its sad that censorship not only covered titty but covered all the dead bodies in the scavengers den. It might sound strange, but its pretty cool seeing how implants are integrated into the bodies with wires connecting to nerves and implants to the muscles and so on + it adds to the vibe
i fully agree...but i also think that CD Project RED did right to add such options (nudity censorship, copyright music filter etc.) to streamers and youtubers
@@tolotko1786yeah totally the right call if you need to make money and we all know how much RUclips likes to demonetize you
I swear it changes all the ads as well. So much less sexually explicit content in the elevators if I recall correctly.
This is already so fun to watch you go through!! Thanks for putting this up. 👽✌️💓
Heeey!
So excited for you to play this. I played it a year after it's release & instantly fell in love with it.
Im sure you've been told this already but the anime takes place before the game.
Have a great time with your playthrough. You're are gonna LOVE this game.
Oh wow I've literally just started my second play through of cyberpunk and I'm in a mood for it ! Thank you for playing it
No fucking way I am just playing through this game and you finally drop a new series I can tag along with??? LETSGOOO
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, let's go. My free time just got substantially lessened with this let's play
Oh boy, good luck Samurai, i hope you don't go only for main story, there are many side quests that are amazing
YOOOOOO THIS PLAYTROUGH IS GONNA BE HYPEEEE, seriusly tho this game is probably my favorite game out there, i've played the damn thing like 7 times already, specially more now with the dlc, glad to see you do a playtrough on it my man, waiting to see what kind of build you can make cause they're all so good
If you’re thinking of doing another start path still I highly recommend female V when it comes to voice acting! Just fits so well as a cyberpunk protagonist and is an incredible performance. Personally just not a fan of the male voice.
I like them both about the same but the different performances give a good reason to replay the game, especially since your voice determines your possible love interests
They're both good, but I agree that fem V somehow "fits" more, dunno why, just feels better for me
Very true good point about differing love interests, I should honestly give it another try @@-TriP-
haha yea it's hard to place the delivery of lines and I guess you can say raspiness in her voice is badass. I should definitely give the other performance another chance though @@namenlossterbliche6239
I can’t wait for this to start back up just finished all your souls videos and just caught up to this play-through. My favorite yt for games ❤
Theres plenty to see in this game, dont worry about "wasting time" checking out details.
Blind Playthrough? Man I wish I could go back in time to do another blind playthrough! This is by far one of my favorite games! Played it on PC when it was original released and have played through it several times again after PL was released! 🎉
You are appalled by the origin stories? 😂 All three are great, but my favorite is Nomad. You just get special dialogue choices with each life path
What a coincidence! I finally gave this game a chance over the weekend and I can’t stop playing. Excited for this playthrough!
Oh it's finally happening! I always said that Cyberpunk or Outer worlds would be great palet cleansers after Starfield. I'm happy he picked CP2077.
Yessss. I just finished this a couple of weeks ago for the first time and really enjoyed it. I think you'll really like it.
Some parts are gonna be tricky with RUclips, however lol
Oh my gosh yes! I love this game! And one of my favourite content creators is playing it!
CDPR did such a good job giving you that WOW the first time you come down from your apartment and walk out into the open city.
The intro of the game, they keep you indoors, in alleys and in the dark til then so you get the full impact.
This is gonna be goooood
Hello
FINALLY!!! Love your content bro! I know you’re gonna love this!
Hey, just found your channel. I love watching first-time plays on Cyberpunk. There is sooo much to find in this game that.
So awesome you're starting your CP journey. Have fun, can't wait to see part 2.
Already loving this playthrough, can't wait for episode 2 :)
Mods may delete this or not, from what I remember you can actually do Phantom Liberty once you get out of the area with Jackie, but it's recommended to not play it till towards the end. the game will give you a "no return" type option near the end. I would do Phantom Liberty around that time, then continue past the "point of no return."
nah, you have to play through the main story until
(spoiler spaces)
you finish the voodoo boys quests before Dogtown becomes accessible (since you need to have been to the Blackwall for Song Mi to contact you, storywise)
You can do it once you complete the first quest that takes you to Pacifica.
Yeees! So glad your playing this!, good to be watching another one of your playthroughs 😁
5:40 heck yeah! I was really hoping you'd explore all the options.
First of all, the main protagonist is the City itself. IF you have no experience with the Cyberpunk universe, the suggested order is Nomad (ignorant in the ways of the City), Streetkid (streetwise in the ways of the City) and Corpo (the innerworks of mega corpos and how they affect the City)
You should definitely watch Edgerunners before the game to increase the hype! the events of the anime occur in 2076, 1 year before the game, and also there is a hidden sidequest ingame that rewards you an item from the anime
I GASPED WHEN I SAW THIS HELL YEAH
Yeah 😂
Fem V has a much better VA performance imo
no you just stupid simps
Depends imo. I feel like male v has better voice with pains, sufferings and plus dialouges with panam felt so natural.
They should have started where you already knew Jackie, done a couple missions to build a connection and maybe have done the car-jacking heist as a flashback later on in the story as part of the grieving process.
Mapo, if you decide to play Witcher games, if possible read the original books first.
The games don't follow them directly, but you'll be much more immersed in their atmosphere and have more fun.
To CP2077:
1. "Body" and Technical ability" will allow you to open locked doors, this is useful for stealth you can outmaneuver enemies for example.
2. With "Intelligence" (Netrunning), V can kill all the enemies in a building literally sitting in his underwear around the corner (cameras ;-).
3. IMHO, the best transport in NC is a bike, cars handle worse even after the update. By the way ARCH is Keanu Reeves' company :)
4. Walking around NC, turn in the nooks there you can find a lot of "small plots", such as a corpse with a backpack(loot) and a note.
5. There's a lot of cool stuff in combat there: katanas, throwing knives, monowire, invisibility, smart guns. Game is big try it all :)
Have a good game, it's great!
What a nice surprise! Apparently I was one of the lucky ones who had very few bugs when this first came out. Played through the game twice but haven't done the expansion yet. Guess I better get on that soon so I can watch this whole playthrough.
I recently started my Cyberpunk journey and I absolutely love it. Already have 100 hours in it and haven't even gotten halfway through the story, and I still have the Phantom Liberty expansion to get to as well.
I recently started replaying this game. I forgot how much fun I had, even back when it was a mess. Hope you enjoy!
