I think we should have spent more time in act 1 not just to get more Jackie time but more time in NC as a whole. I would imagine a slow burn of V feeling like a GTA protagonist and then having the Konpeki rug pull when they feel most capable of themselves would make the gut punch of Jackie and V's death and the latter's subsequent rebirth/race against time hit so much harder.
@@clarencewalters338 true, tho u can spen hours and do a good few missions and sidequests even before doing The Heist mission.. i took my time and played a good bit, got a good few NCPD missions done and cruised the city... my only wish had been to have Jackie with us for that first part, as sort of a Companion... tho thinking about it as i write it, that had made it all the harder to lose him, already had me cry like a baby that got its bottle taken away mid feeding ='(
@ulisesroiz245 Or maybe V has access to an experimental memory scanner that makes it into "braindances" that let's use play through some missions with Jackie, and to give further background for whatever Vs origin is based on what the player chose.
In my opinion I think it’s the best game ever made .. if another game just did 1 thing as well as cyberpunk ir would be considered great, but cyberpunk does multiple things extremely well.. story gameplay lore environment open world all of it is absolutely top tier .. I don’t think I’ve ever played a game that’s able to do all those things ro rhe quality cyberpunk does them.. usually a game will do 1 or 2 things well at the expense of others, but not cyberpunk, it does everything at an extremely high quality level while sacrificing almost nothing .. it is everything everyone expected it to be, revolutionary and pushes the medium forward in several different ways .. I just can’t sing its praises enough.. I have 1300 hours in it, I’ve basically platinumed it twice on ps4 and PS5, and I will still come back to it every once in a while
I agree💯💯💯💯💯 This world, the story, the characters, just every little detail is simply incredible and I don’t know if I ever felt so connected to a world and its characters as I did with this game. CD PROJEKT RED imo surpassed Rockstar and Bethesda and it’s not even close.
@ absolutely agree.. cdpr has now made the 2 best open world games ever in my opinion, and their last 2 releases are miles better than rockstar and bethesdas last 2 releases .. and that’s saying a lot
@ 100% I would also argue that cyberpunk was super ahead of its time, it’s 4 years later and I think it still holds up graphically too anything coming out now and I don’t see that changing for a few more years. I fell in love with this world and this game helped me through one of the toughest periods of my life and for that it will always hold a special place in my heart.
It could be. Shortcuts were taken, and systems were (clearly) abandoned (like the traffic light system), but for me, it is the most professional game I've played to date. I haven't played Baldur's Gate 3, so I can't be certain.
i think the launch failure made cyberpunk a better game. they made sure to put everything into 2.0 ad phantom liberty and they made the game 10x better. the content the game had at launch was great but now its improved and has a huge fun expansion
i would argue that NMS is the greatest and not CP2077... altho i would put it in a close second... NMS had bigger issues... CP2077 Story was there since the beginning ... NMS story was pretty meh on release...
@@quantumphayer I remember what the nightmare of No Man's Sky. But I've never played it. Dayumn. If it's even half as good a comeback of CP'77 then I need to install and give that game s look at now. Sounds like it's time.
@@marksutherlandjr.2121 ohh for sure its very good... the amount of free content they added after the launch is insane... sadly my potato PC cant handle it anymore... or even CP2077 for that matter... i can still play it but everything low and still i have like 50 FPS xD... when i get a new rig... those are the 2 games imma grind a bit :D
1:58 Just a little FYI, that NPC falling is not a bug but an actual scripted encounter where I guess some corpo offed themselves or maybe someone killed them. It was obvious because you can hear the NPC screaming before hitting the ground, NPCs in the game doesn't have anything in their code that could detect that they are falling that would trigger a scream, so it was obvious that this one is a scripted event.
I played Cyberpunk day one on PC, my friends who got it were on console or PC and bugs and crashes were pretty bad for all of us. Understandably people were very pissed and it's good that CDPR stuck with it, they definitely needed to. Even through all of the bugs, I still fell in love with it, it's awesome. Also glad that Johnny wasn't just purely a cameo role for Keanu Reeves and that he was integral to the story.
I searched YT for Let's Plays when it was released...found plenty of my favorite channels (like Welonz, RadBrad) playing (on PC) with no issues. So I bought it and I've played 3 times. Best $60 game I have ever played.
I have loved Cyberpunk since launch. Yeah it had problems but I was still obsessed. Going into clouds for the first time, Jackies funeral, sitting around the fire with Panem and the Aldecaldos, going diving with Judy, playing an AR game with River, sitting and talking to Johnny in the oil fields. Everything is just so believable, emotional, and just overall amazing. Night city is gritty, alive and just so awesome to look at. The characters, main and even random side characters, are written so well. I can go on and on about how much I love this game so instead of saying that over and over I just watch other people love it instead haha.
I literally bought cyberpunk on Halloween and played through the whole game and dlc it's an amazing game that feels like a game from the golden age of gaming
I'd recommend cutting 90% of the explanation of what goes on in the story, if not more, and focus more on the point you want to make. Two types of people will would watch this video, and by far the biggest slice of that pie is people who've already played the game (and loved it) like me. I know what the story is, I am just as tired of the intro as you are, so why drag it out piece by piece? It's a bit ironic that your own explanation of the intro has the same problem as you point out in the video, namely being too long. You should go more into depth on why it's bad that it's too long and how that worsens an experience, not why it is long, if that makes sense. This is a problem throughout the video for me, it seems you don't really explore any topic into depth, despite having plenty of time for it. Sorry for the rant, I still watched it all so it was a quality vid :)
Really appreciate the honest opinion, this is actually something that I have reflected on and decided to cut out on future videos. I guess it was the fact that I'm a bit newer to long form content, it made me realise how I want the time people spend on my videos to feel as if it was worth it spending. For now, since I worked so hard on this video, I will leave it, but most difinitely will keep working on improving the formula.
A note on Saburo being the mightiest man alive: probably not. Militech might lag behind in terms of covert ops, specialized implants and neuro tech, but in terms of sheer might, Militech far overpowers Arasaka. It is implied in one of the endings that Militech essentially take control of NC and certain gigs added in the last updates hint at escalation between Arasaka and Militech. A corpo war is brewing and is likely to be the setting for Cyberpunk Orion, the next game project name
Cyberpunk 2077 is promise, disaster, constant updates and upgrades, and an epic expansion. It's the story of promise delayed and fulfilled, an epic soundtrack, some of the best voice casting ever, and two stars who went all in with their characters and gave epic performances. They used to ask about a gaming rig, "Can it run Crysis?" Now, it's "Can it run Cyberpunk?" That's the level of graphics and immersion there is in the game. I keep playing the game, finishing it, and going back. You can mod the game, change it to suit your desires. You learn something new about the world every time. And Phantom Liberty? It's what you expect, and nothing like what you expect
Day 1 Xbox One player here. I suffered, sometimes dozens, of crashes, glitches, and game-breaking bugs. I was hooked. I loved it. I read every shard. Saw every corner of Night City over several hundred immersive hours. Best abusive relationship of my life ❤
Love the Mirrors Edge OST for bgm, and as for the ideo, very nice but would've liked to see a bigger focus on the updates instead of going over the storyline which remained the same since launch
Thanks for putting this video together! I live hearing people talk about there love if this gane, as I feel it as well. This game is hands down my favorite video game if all time. Im now ingesting all things cyberpunnk. Thanks again.
The game was not riddled with bugs, the game was not compatible with old gen consoles. I had the game on pc day one, probably had only 3 bugs in my whole gameplay.
Yeah that was a bit overdramatic, a decent PC could run the game OK, with just a few bugs to really piss one off and many things getting fixed and improved up to 1.61. But old gen consoles...yeah thats a completely different story, that should've never happend in the first place, it shoul have been, like they decided with Phantom Liberty, NEXT GEN Consoles ONLY.
Note, Soullus referred to "marketing" as "propaganda". That may sound weird to you, but the truth of the matter is political propaganda post WW2 has been embedded in consumption ergo marketing.
cyberpunk has become easily my favorite genre... 2077 got me addicted again for like the 6th playthrough. somehow i find more than i did the last playthrough... cyberpunk is my skyrim . big timee
Man, what I love most of this game is the replay value, taking different routes reveals more about the previous route, like SPOILERS AHEAD, knowing the reason Yorunobu to hate his father so much is that he knows his father wants to implant a relic and overwrite his Ingram, as is happening to V with Johnny. And that if you betray Song you get to know more about her history and more about the AIs behind the wall.
Honestly, I will always love and respect CD projekt RED for not only refusing to give up and abandoning the game but also for legitimately delivering the exact experience I was hoping for from the trailers.
I didn't really enjoy the game when I played it at release. There was a lot of promise, and the story seemed really intriguing (I only got to the beginning of act 2). Having come back to the game now, and with some big modpack to improve it even further, it's honestly one of the best games I've ever played.
I love long formats as well. I would suggest for you to show some important part of the game. Like let the scenes play out for a few seconds. Thank you!
As someone that 100%'d the game during its initial release and someone who continually goes back to it from time to time, there is genuinely no game like it. Cyberpunk 2077 is one of my favorite games of all time and one of the few games where the entire world of the game is a character. Night City still blows me away to this day and the stories that are found and told within it are far beyond any other game I've played. Phantom Liberty only cemented my thoughts. I am so very happy that they made the game playable with all of their patches. It's still not what they initially promised, but I am still so happy to play what they have created.
im superglad they didnt give up on the game and stuck with it to its current state, honestly ive been waiting for it since 2012 iirc when i first saw the nuts vid with the Cyberpsycho and MaxTac ^^ and i put over 700 hours into it since Dec '23, replaying the story several times, first unmodded then modded, and i still to this day discover new things i havent seen before on my adventures. a story so good it had me tear up several times, and so branched out that 2 playthroughs can be so vastly different that its mindblowing. and that it lets u play in so many diff ways, gun blazing, cyberpsycho style melee, silent cyber ninja or chiphead superhacker to just name a few of the countless possible builds... nothing but major respect for CyberPunk2077 and the comeback it made ^^ oh btw one realy great example of the level of detail they put into the story is the Casino Mission in Dogtown: depending on if u manage to sneak in without raising alarm a single time (or if fail to do so) affects the end of the mission when u leave the Casino eventually, if Red has gotten a rough treatment before u find him, or if he simply waits for u to leave together. such a small detail, barely 1% of the mission, and yet they covered it. and thats with so many things and details, its truely spectacular * ^^ *
what really made me love this game after trying and quitting about 6 different times is that i finally let go of the expectation of the rpg that they pitched to us. it’s not as deep of a choice system as i would’ve hoped but i’ve come to accept it and the dlc kinda retroactively fixes that issue. it’s an action game more than an rpg, but still a damn good one with one of the most dense city structures that seeps with thick atmosphere. if anything im happy with this game but really excited for a sequel that builds on the best parts of the dlc and the overall game
Watching 1st minute trying to mention where game came from and not mentioning Johnny Mnemonic Movie with Keanu Reeves that cleary has stuff like Monowire being used made me lil upset....
Good Video Choom. i just dream about how the good the game could have been if it released in the state of 2024. But regardless this game got me hooked like really hooked, i watched every kind of lore video for 2077 and i am thinking about buying the roleplaying books.
I started this game late November of 2023 and wow I was immediately captivated by the world that was being shown to me entirely engrossed playing the main story for hours on end all the side missions all the gigs all the nopd scanner hustles every single thing phantom liberty has to offer and I can confidently say this one of if not my favorite played games of all time even after finishing this game with nothing else to do I still find myself looking for any excuse to play beating on thugs or doing those car delivery missions and it's hard to accept that it's over I miss this game I miss learning about this world I miss when I didn't know anything about it besides Keanu Reeves and a depressing anime from 2022 I want more Cyberpunk 2077 | don't care what critics said in 2020 it's good NOW I miss playing this game man
She pulls my trigger, got me up all right It's a danger pretty here in night city... sing it! I'm just playing two runs simultaniously, a Girlboss Netgunner Streetkid for Judy Romance and a Nomad Tech-Solo (E-Gorilla Arms, Breakthrough, fully modded Satara and Lizzie) Bro for Panam. Ofc also heavily modded, from Body (Solo 2.0 + Lethal Curves Rig rules or Atlas with supermuscle map for the Dude) over clothes, hair, makeup, eyes to weapons/attachements, textures, vehicles including flying your own AV or a tuner garage, clean up mods, for some dirt and garbage, fix up and expand/modify apartments (love the Glen one) or make some parts of H10 accessible or add cats to the apartments, like the bottom market and some more residential parts, to expanded romances or making Rita romancable and added quests, refined mechanics and gameplay, to Nova LUT, having actual night vision or/and flashlights available to you at all time...not to mention early access to the penthouse for a boatload of Eddies, depending on your SC...or making BD sets useful with the famous Hotscenes mod and so on and so forth. Not to mention that there is now a somewhat decent NG+ mod available as well...
@@HandyDandy6 yeah i know, but thats just too little, after Heroes she's pretty much out of the picture, other than for the Tarot cards and stuff. Her man was out best friend, who pretty much ended in our arms and we got ended shortly after...i mean it was cool that she was combo'd with Victor to get and patch us up and deliver us home...but then its just Heroes and that pretty much it. She deserved more imho.^^
40:41 every time I hear someone say this I breathe a sigh of relief. I have gone through to experience all the options in PL but my canon choice will always be betraying Reed. Knowing their history and Myer’s current intentions with So Mi, I’m not sure how anyone could rationalize betraying Song as just, but I’ve seen it happen in people’s play throughs and it’s a bit shocking to see how differently someone’s brain can work from yours. The themes of this story could not be clearer.
@@Lechistan_Lee yeah, people do all kinds of things when they’re desperate. My respect for someone fighting to live far outweighs the offence of someone lying to me.
I personally think siding with So Mi is the worst of the two options. I choose to side with Reed and kill So Mi given that Mr. Blue Eyes in involved in her ticket to the moon
4:17 bedor i get deeper into the video .. i firstly watched all the drama about the game and i did not get it because of the drama and because my pc was garbage at that moment after the release of the anime i got sucked into this insane universe and got so hyped that i got myself the game and damn my first playthrough was so god damn nice allthough i probably got the worst ending short after phantom liberty came out i bought it but still too this day havent made a new playthrough because i now want to get the best experience i played arround with mods and saw how well the game could look on the latest and greatest gpu‘s and i thought to my self „i wanna do my next run going ALL IN!“ and now when december comes i will get myself a new gpu i was waiting for 2 years now im so hyped… what i wanna say is even when i had just one playthrough in a at the time not yet completed game im still in love with its world and its is and will be the best game ive played so far and it will not be the last playthrough this has a very high chance to be a every year game with all its different endings and routs you can take
Soullus i strongly recomend you to do the other ending, it will help you to understand the full picture of the relationship of Songbird, Reed and Myers. Its probably the best part of Phantom Liberty
One weird decision that CDPR made is putting Hard mode as the actual Normal mode. It has a bar code under it as a symbol that it's the recommended difficulty. The naming scheme should be, Story mode, Easy, Normal, Hard instead of Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard.
I’ve beat this game twice as male V and I loved it, I’m looking at you Panam 😅🖤 but, I’m having a awesome time with female V lol, you did a good job condensing a lot of info into one video!
I'm just doing that, two runs simultaniously, a Girlboss Netgunner Streetkid for Judy Romance and a Nomad Tech-Solo (E-Gorilla Arms, Breakthrough, fully modded Satara and Lizzie) Bro for Panam. 😊 (tho heavily modded...Solo 2.0+ Lethal Curves for my Girl and KS Atlas max muscled up for the Bro (both are really cool and keep it mostly vanilla compatible). Beautified both girls, gave Judy a little more curve and nicer hair, but keeping the general style, gave Panam her concept hairstyle aka parted curly hair from Panam Reimagined, the Panam Body Enhanced 2.1 by hyst, Panam's New Look...added Panam Romanced Enhanced and I really want to stay at your house for both and so on ) ^^
@ Can't thank the modding community enough! I've added a plethora of subtle mods and it's made all the difference in an already great game! Keep your head on a swivel choom sounds like you have some slick chrome but remember anything can happen in Night City 🦾😎
I've never played this type of game, never really appealed to me, I've always avoided them but I wanted to give cyberpunk a chance, yeah I had huge issues at the start, but now holy crap, the game is flippin insane, Ive played the story 4 times, 2 corpo kid and one each of the other ones, I just love the whole vibe, ngl I want to buy a gaming PC so I can play this with mods
and not just that, i modded the turrets you encounter very often, to actually do damage, as those are .50cals, they should hurt, really hurt...now they flatline you in 2 or 3 hits, if you're not careful...and with that...its even more fun to hack em and turn em on their owners...^^
Game of the century! And I really believe it to be so, as this last 3-4 years of videogames has actually sucked pretty bad (there a still a few games worth your time but not really). And it's just gotten better since it's initial launch
sorry but u got Reeds story a bit wrong... he wasnt "just Undercover" he was offered up as sacrefice to Arasaka to apease them, and barely escaped with his life. after that he went into Sleeper mode for the next 7 years... Alex was told he betrayed them and sold out to Arasaka and was subsequently killed, and she was "asked" to stay in Dogtown to keep eyes and ears open basicaly. shes tells u her part pretty well, and so does Reed actually. but i get that its SOOOO much frikin lore, cant rem it all, and every point completely ofc ^^ all in all u do a pretty good job summarising such an extensive story rough enough to give ppl an idea even if they never played it, without going into so much detail that it becomes impossible to comprehend ^^
CDPR made so many memorable moments its not funny. My single hardest decision was to betray So Mi or not. I cannot put in words how that series of events really tugged at me. I eventually played all the endings, but ... wow. Only one other game has ever caused that much anxiety over a plot choice and that was Mass Effect 2's final mission.
I so fcking glad i havent played the game till 2.0 update. I knew from the begining that whoever though that this FIRST next-gen engine will realease on 9 consoles whihc include last generation was so out of touch with reality this game was destined to fail. If this was next gen(current gen) only and PC we would have gotten mostly bug free experience and maybe over some time more expansions. Anyway im sure that most of us that have played the game agreee that we are definetly going to buy sequel.
I thought story and gameplay were good from the start but the gamebreaking bugs were absolutely crippling at launch NGL. Combining this with a compelling setting, characters, voice acting and music it's peak gaming. Slicing thugs into ribbons with a katana while double jumping and listening to female V's ramblings is a regular highlight of my gaming diet.
I feel like the intro of the game was a little bit too rushed, maybe if we had the access to the full game right away and we had few more hours with Jackie, his death would've hit harder, tbh. When he died, it should've been a very sad moment, but you haven't developped any attachment to him by then to feel anything tbh, all the parts where you fastforward skips during "tutorial" mission, from knowing him to developping a friendship felt like it was a massive quest cut to save time and money which resulted in more like the death of an acquaitance than a friend. If they had an introduction to Jackie similar to the Songbird from DLC, it would've hit so much harder imo. Still loved the game, and still going back to it now and then to replay with mods. Also, unpopular opinion maybe, but i would've liked better an anonymous character to Keanu. Felt really forced role and meh.
playable yes i guess, tho it shouldnt have been released on oldgen to begin with, its too demanding on that outdated hardware, which caused it having so many problems on release. which is also the reason, why Patch 2.0+ and Phantom Liberty DLC are Next Gen aka actual Gen and PC only, as the demand even increased, so they had to one up their specs...
I had never played Cyberpunk 2077 until July of this year when I bought the Ultimate Edition. The game immediately grabbed me by the choombas and I was ready to kill if I had to, and burn the city down if I had to 😆 I was not disappointed and I have over 700 hours played since July 2024. Sure it still has some glitches but certainly modding the game makes it even better. I have been gaming since the mid-1980's starting with an Amiga 500. I have never found a game that got so much of my attention until Phantom Liberty and Cyberpunk 2077. I have finished 4 playthroughs and on my 5th 100-hour playthrough now, mainly scavenging Dogtown as I decide which ending I want to try for my Male V Corpo. I have finished The Star, Don't Fear the Reaper, (aka The Sun) and sending So MI to the moon (twice) were all such emotional feels when the end credits finally played.
@verios44 I am most of the way through Dogtown quests, and was definitely thinking of Reed's ending. Since I have already sent So MI to the Moon twice. Plus it's the only ending you are allowed to say "fuck off" to Myers and give away the medal she gives you 😄 I have not done the Rogue ending or Trusting Araska for the Devil yet, maybe on my 6th playthrough.
@@verios44 That would actually be cool. Couldnt find a mod for that either, not on a quick search on the Nexus...havent tested if you can have some fun via the hotscenes mod with Skye or the other one yet. But the scene was awesome, memorable and straight into the core.
This is one massively spoilerific video. Might want to give some info on that. I was not personally affected by this though, played through all paths and have seen all different kinds of relationships with Johnny. They differ too.
Best comeback, but it didnt need to be. CDPR wanted to make bank during the 2020 virus but instead disappointed everyone during these times. Months before the botched TLOU Part2 story was another downer for me. I eventually played version 1.6 and liked it. Got the version 2.0 again and enjoy it even more. CDPR turned it around and until GTA6 releases this will be the best RPG out there.
I game built on smoke and mirrors. 1. Fake demos / with broken Promises. 2. Half- baked RPG . 3. Took CDPR 3+ years just to fix the broken game. 4 CDPR had a huge Budget and even got funding from the polis government which was tax payers money & thst game was in development for more than 5 years yet still came out like crap. 5. Remember the whole " runs surprisingly well on Ps4/Xbox " lies! 6 No new game plus and the trash developers claimed it's because of its game design? If your game can't be made to have a new game plus then that's poor game design. 7. The Police system is still a joke and GTA 5 which released in 2013 has a better system then Cyberbug 2077 8. CDPR made One hit wonder which was the Witcher 3 another overhyped game and just like Cyberbug 2077 it's nothing more than a overhyped game full of smoke ans mirrors and bugs.
johnny silverhand is cool, but man... how much i miss jackie... i wish he had a bigger part in the game.
Yea would have been cool if his construct got stuck in the relic when he died and he would have been the one we see instead of Johnny
I think we should have spent more time in act 1 not just to get more Jackie time but more time in NC as a whole. I would imagine a slow burn of V feeling like a GTA protagonist and then having the Konpeki rug pull when they feel most capable of themselves would make the gut punch of Jackie and V's death and the latter's subsequent rebirth/race against time hit so much harder.
@@clarencewalters338 true, tho u can spen hours and do a good few missions and sidequests even before doing The Heist mission.. i took my time and played a good bit, got a good few NCPD missions done and cruised the city... my only wish had been to have Jackie with us for that first part, as sort of a Companion... tho thinking about it as i write it, that had made it all the harder to lose him, already had me cry like a baby that got its bottle taken away mid feeding ='(
jackie's voice actor was so GOOD too
@ulisesroiz245 Or maybe V has access to an experimental memory scanner that makes it into "braindances" that let's use play through some missions with Jackie, and to give further background for whatever Vs origin is based on what the player chose.
I love this game so much I keep watching other people videos explaining how much they love it too....
Same. Every time I see these videos I click even tho Im on my 3rd playthrough
"almost 40 years ago" "1988"
I'm crumbling into dust.
Felt called out at that. But fact is fact.

Give internet historian’s video on NMS a watch you might be interested in it afterwards
an absolute masterpiece, I wish I could play it blind again
1:58 Just a little FYI, that NPC falling is not a bug but an actual scripted encounter where I guess some corpo offed themselves or maybe someone killed them. It was obvious because you can hear the NPC screaming before hitting the ground, NPCs in the game doesn't have anything in their code that could detect that they are falling that would trigger a scream, so it was obvious that this one is a scripted event.

So I bought it and I've played 3 times. Best $60 game I have ever played.
Night City very quickly became one of my favorite fictional settings thanks to this game.
I have loved Cyberpunk since launch. Yeah it had problems but I was still obsessed. Going into clouds for the first time, Jackies funeral, sitting around the fire with Panem and the Aldecaldos, going diving with Judy, playing an AR game with River, sitting and talking to Johnny in the oil fields. Everything is just so believable, emotional, and just overall amazing.
Night city is gritty, alive and just so awesome to look at. The characters, main and even random side characters, are written so well. I can go on and on about how much I love this game so instead of saying that over and over I just watch other people love it instead haha.
I literally bought cyberpunk on Halloween and played through the whole game and dlc it's an amazing game that feels like a game from the golden age of gaming
The fact that there's no hollywood movie based on the game yet (you alread have the most important cast choice done for you people) is inexplicable.
but we got a anime series and there is another thing already in the works
There's Johnny Mnemonic
I'd recommend cutting 90% of the explanation of what goes on in the story, if not more, and focus more on the point you want to make. Two types of people will would watch this video, and by far the biggest slice of that pie is people who've already played the game (and loved it) like me. I know what the story is, I am just as tired of the intro as you are, so why drag it out piece by piece? It's a bit ironic that your own explanation of the intro has the same problem as you point out in the video, namely being too long. You should go more into depth on why it's bad that it's too long and how that worsens an experience, not why it is long, if that makes sense. This is a problem throughout the video for me, it seems you don't really explore any topic into depth, despite having plenty of time for it.
Sorry for the rant, I still watched it all so it was a quality vid :)
Really appreciate the honest opinion, this is actually something that I have reflected on and decided to cut out on future videos. I guess it was the fact that I'm a bit newer to long form content, it made me realise how I want the time people spend on my videos to feel as if it was worth it spending. For now, since I worked so hard on this video, I will leave it, but most difinitely will keep working on improving the formula.
Sounds like it's time for a New Game + and skipping the heist and going straight into Phantom Liberty
A note on Saburo being the mightiest man alive: probably not. Militech might lag behind in terms of covert ops, specialized implants and neuro tech, but in terms of sheer might, Militech far overpowers Arasaka. It is implied in one of the endings that Militech essentially take control of NC and certain gigs added in the last updates hint at escalation between Arasaka and Militech. A corpo war is brewing and is likely to be the setting for Cyberpunk Orion, the next game project name
Cyberpunk 2077 is promise, disaster, constant updates and upgrades, and an epic expansion. It's the story of promise delayed and fulfilled, an epic soundtrack, some of the best voice casting ever, and two stars who went all in with their characters and gave epic performances. They used to ask about a gaming rig, "Can it run Crysis?" Now, it's "Can it run Cyberpunk?" That's the level of graphics and immersion there is in the game.
I keep playing the game, finishing it, and going back. You can mod the game, change it to suit your desires. You learn something new about the world every time. And Phantom Liberty? It's what you expect, and nothing like what you expect
I just finished yesterday for the first time. Absolutely amazing. I played every available ending!
Day 1 Xbox One player here. I suffered, sometimes dozens, of crashes, glitches, and game-breaking bugs. I was hooked. I loved it. I read every shard. Saw every corner of Night City over several hundred immersive hours. Best abusive relationship of my life ❤
Love the Mirrors Edge OST for bgm, and as for the ideo, very nice but would've liked to see a bigger focus on the updates instead of going over the storyline which remained the same since launch
such a beautiful game. i need it in HQ VR
Hands down the best part of the game was when Dexter Deshawn got his wig pushed back by Takamura.
Thanks for putting this video together! I live hearing people talk about there love if this gane, as I feel it as well. This game is hands down my favorite video game if all time. Im now ingesting all things cyberpunnk. Thanks again.
It is my favourite single player game of all time
I waited this long to finally play the game, I bought it 2 weeks ago and almost have 90 hours.
welcome Choom
You are missing out if you don't choose to help Reed. The Cynosure Facility Bunker is one of the best and creepiest areas in the game.
The game was not riddled with bugs, the game was not compatible with old gen consoles. I had the game on pc day one, probably had only 3 bugs in my whole gameplay.
Yeah that was a bit overdramatic, a decent PC could run the game OK, with just a few bugs to really piss one off and many things getting fixed and improved up to 1.61.
But old gen consoles...yeah thats a completely different story, that should've never happend in the first place, it shoul have been, like they decided with Phantom Liberty, NEXT GEN Consoles ONLY.
EXCELLENT Video. One of the best takes concerning Cyberpunk Ive seen since... well, myself, actually.
Keep up the good work.
Note, Soullus referred to "marketing" as "propaganda". That may sound weird to you, but the truth of the matter is political propaganda post WW2 has been embedded in consumption ergo marketing.
cyberpunk has become easily my favorite genre... 2077 got me addicted again for like the 6th playthrough. somehow i find more than i did the last playthrough... cyberpunk is my skyrim . big timee
Man, what I love most of this game is the replay value, taking different routes reveals more about the previous route, like SPOILERS AHEAD, knowing the reason Yorunobu to hate his father so much is that he knows his father wants to implant a relic and overwrite his Ingram, as is happening to V with Johnny. And that if you betray Song you get to know more about her history and more about the AIs behind the wall.
Wow man, Goosebumps the moment I take a glance at Night City
Honestly, I will always love and respect CD projekt RED for not only refusing to give up and abandoning the game but also for legitimately delivering the exact experience I was hoping for from the trailers.
I didn't really enjoy the game when I played it at release. There was a lot of promise, and the story seemed really intriguing (I only got to the beginning of act 2).
Having come back to the game now, and with some big modpack to improve it even further, it's honestly one of the best games I've ever played.
I love long formats as well. I would suggest for you to show some important part of the game. Like let the scenes play out for a few seconds. Thank you!
This game is a masterpiece and one of the greatest works of art in video game history. So exited for the new anime there working on.
Earned a sub for helping So-Mi
As someone that 100%'d the game during its initial release and someone who continually goes back to it from time to time, there is genuinely no game like it.
Cyberpunk 2077 is one of my favorite games of all time and one of the few games where the entire world of the game is a character. Night City still blows me away to this day and the stories that are found and told within it are far beyond any other game I've played. Phantom Liberty only cemented my thoughts. I am so very happy that they made the game playable with all of their patches. It's still not what they initially promised, but I am still so happy to play what they have created.
im superglad they didnt give up on the game and stuck with it to its current state, honestly ive been waiting for it since 2012 iirc when i first saw the nuts vid with the Cyberpsycho and MaxTac ^^
and i put over 700 hours into it since Dec '23, replaying the story several times, first unmodded then modded, and i still to this day discover new things i havent seen before on my adventures. a story so good it had me tear up several times, and so branched out that 2 playthroughs can be so vastly different that its mindblowing. and that it lets u play in so many diff ways, gun blazing, cyberpsycho style melee, silent cyber ninja or chiphead superhacker to just name a few of the countless possible builds... nothing but major respect for CyberPunk2077 and the comeback it made ^^
oh btw one realy great example of the level of detail they put into the story is the Casino Mission in Dogtown: depending on if u manage to sneak in without raising alarm a single time (or if fail to do so) affects the end of the mission when u leave the Casino eventually, if Red has gotten a rough treatment before u find him, or if he simply waits for u to leave together. such a small detail, barely 1% of the mission, and yet they covered it. and thats with so many things and details, its truely spectacular * ^^ *
what really made me love this game after trying and quitting about 6 different times is that i finally let go of the expectation of the rpg that they pitched to us. it’s not as deep of a choice system as i would’ve hoped but i’ve come to accept it and the dlc kinda retroactively fixes that issue. it’s an action game more than an rpg, but still a damn good one with one of the most dense city structures that seeps with thick atmosphere. if anything im happy with this game but really excited for a sequel that builds on the best parts of the dlc and the overall game
Man i love that song 23:00 especially when i first heard it when we were on our way to Konpeki Plaza and Jackie gets all serious with V
What the cyberpunk 2077 teaser trailer should’ve been hyped me up to play this again
Watching 1st minute trying to mention where game came from and not mentioning Johnny Mnemonic Movie with Keanu Reeves that cleary has stuff like Monowire being used made me lil upset....
Good Video Choom. i just dream about how the good the game could have been if it released in the state of 2024. But regardless this game got me hooked like really hooked, i watched every kind of lore video for 2077 and i am thinking about buying the roleplaying books.
I still remember being salty that they spoiled the act 1 ending in the CGI trialer
I started this game late November of 2023 and wow I was immediately captivated by the world that was being shown to me entirely engrossed playing the main story for hours on end all the side missions all the gigs all the nopd scanner hustles every single thing phantom liberty has to offer and I can confidently say this one of if not my favorite played games of all time even after finishing this game with nothing else to do I still find myself looking for any excuse to play beating on thugs or doing those car delivery missions and it's hard to accept that it's over I miss this game I miss learning about this world I miss when I didn't know anything about it besides Keanu Reeves and a depressing anime from 2022 I want more Cyberpunk 2077 | don't care what critics said in 2020 it's good NOW I miss playing this game man
She pulls my trigger, got me up all right
It's a danger pretty here in night city...
sing it!
I'm just playing two runs simultaniously, a Girlboss Netgunner Streetkid for Judy Romance and a Nomad Tech-Solo (E-Gorilla Arms, Breakthrough, fully modded Satara and Lizzie) Bro for Panam.
Ofc also heavily modded, from Body (Solo 2.0 + Lethal Curves Rig rules or Atlas with supermuscle map for the Dude) over clothes, hair, makeup, eyes to weapons/attachements, textures, vehicles including flying your own AV or a tuner garage, clean up mods, for some dirt and garbage, fix up and expand/modify apartments (love the Glen one) or make some parts of H10 accessible or add cats to the apartments, like the bottom market and some more residential parts, to expanded romances or making Rita romancable and added quests, refined mechanics and gameplay, to Nova LUT, having actual night vision or/and flashlights available to you at all time...not to mention early access to the penthouse for a boatload of Eddies, depending on your SC...or making BD sets useful with the famous Hotscenes mod and so on and so forth.
Not to mention that there is now a somewhat decent NG+ mod available as well...
I wish cdpr would have made the jackie stories and did just a few side missions with Jackie as flashbacks or something to flesh him out more
and lets not forget about Misty she also deserved much more love and developement and maybe a few quests with and/or baout her.
@wolfwilkopter2231 she did get some, a few more would've been cool too. I always like looking through Jackie's shit with her
@@HandyDandy6
yeah i know, but thats just too little, after Heroes she's pretty much out of the picture, other than for the Tarot cards and stuff.
Her man was out best friend, who pretty much ended in our arms and we got ended shortly after...i mean it was cool that she was combo'd with Victor to get and patch us up and deliver us home...but then its just Heroes and that pretty much it.
She deserved more imho.^^
I am shocked that you never played street kid! Out of my like 7 play through, I think I have done 4 street kids, 1 nomad, and 2 corpo.
40:41 every time I hear someone say this I breathe a sigh of relief.
I have gone through to experience all the options in PL but my canon choice will always be betraying Reed. Knowing their history and Myer’s current intentions with So Mi, I’m not sure how anyone could rationalize betraying Song as just, but I’ve seen it happen in people’s play throughs and it’s a bit shocking to see how differently someone’s brain can work from yours. The themes of this story could not be clearer.
Exactly the same thoughts choom. Getting fried by netwatch would have been a better fate than what Reed and Myers did to her.
Too bad she's betraying V at the end when V betrays Reed, so...
@@Lechistan_Lee yeah, people do all kinds of things when they’re desperate. My respect for someone fighting to live far outweighs the offence of someone lying to me.
I personally think siding with So Mi is the worst of the two options. I choose to side with Reed and kill So Mi given that Mr. Blue Eyes in involved in her ticket to the moon
4:17 bedor i get deeper into the video .. i firstly watched all the drama about the game and i did not get it because of the drama and because my pc was garbage at that moment after the release of the anime i got sucked into this insane universe and got so hyped that i got myself the game and damn my first playthrough was so god damn nice allthough i probably got the worst ending short after phantom liberty came out i bought it but still too this day havent made a new playthrough because i now want to get the best experience i played arround with mods and saw how well the game could look on the latest and greatest gpu‘s and i thought to my self „i wanna do my next run going ALL IN!“ and now when december comes i will get myself a new gpu i was waiting for 2 years now im so hyped… what i wanna say is even when i had just one playthrough in a at the time not yet completed game im still in love with its world and its is and will be the best game ive played so far and it will not be the last playthrough this has a very high chance to be a every year game with all its different endings and routs you can take
Soullus i strongly recomend you to do the other ending, it will help you to understand the full picture of the relationship of Songbird, Reed and Myers. Its probably the best part of Phantom Liberty
Nomads4Life
short answer: yes, aboslutely
One weird decision that CDPR made is putting Hard mode as the actual Normal mode. It has a bar code under it as a symbol that it's the recommended difficulty. The naming scheme should be, Story mode, Easy, Normal, Hard instead of Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard.
Great video
I’ve beat this game twice as male V and I loved it, I’m looking at you Panam 😅🖤 but, I’m having a awesome time with female V lol, you did a good job condensing a lot of info into one video!
I'm just doing that, two runs simultaniously, a Girlboss Netgunner Streetkid for Judy Romance and a Nomad Tech-Solo (E-Gorilla Arms, Breakthrough, fully modded Satara and Lizzie) Bro for Panam. 😊
(tho heavily modded...Solo 2.0+ Lethal Curves for my Girl and KS Atlas max muscled up for the Bro (both are really cool and keep it mostly vanilla compatible).
Beautified both girls, gave Judy a little more curve and nicer hair, but keeping the general style, gave Panam her concept hairstyle aka parted curly hair from Panam Reimagined, the Panam Body Enhanced 2.1 by hyst, Panam's New Look...added Panam Romanced Enhanced and I really want to stay at your house for both and so on ) ^^
@ Can't thank the modding community enough! I've added a plethora of subtle mods and it's made all the difference in an already great game! Keep your head on a swivel choom sounds like you have some slick chrome but remember anything can happen in Night City 🦾😎
@@Watch_Point True Story Choom. :)
"It was a shitshow." I dunno, I only had a couple of glitches, it played fine for me.
There is a theory that Dex is broke as hell. Nomad has a car and 7 Tech in Pickup an upgraded jackies bike.
Nice video!
I need to make a cyberpunk video cus everyone gets it wrong 😭
The guy falling shouldn’t have been a bug😂😂
You should try the trust Reed ending. It unlocks a new ending for the main story
Great Game To Me Overall
I would buy another dlc after phantom liberty. They said they wouldnt be making anything new for 2077 but i hope that they do somethhing
They should have delayed to 2022, making it an open beta to iron out all the kinks with feedback from players, then released it fully in 2022.
I've never played this type of game, never really appealed to me, I've always avoided them but I wanted to give cyberpunk a chance, yeah I had huge issues at the start, but now holy crap, the game is flippin insane, Ive played the story 4 times, 2 corpo kid and one each of the other ones, I just love the whole vibe, ngl I want to buy a gaming PC so I can play this with mods
ITS SO GOOD
The Chimera at the highest difficulty kills you very easily. :D I play every game on very high I love the challange.
and not just that, i modded the turrets you encounter very often, to actually do damage, as those are .50cals, they should hurt, really hurt...now they flatline you in 2 or 3 hits, if you're not careful...and with that...its even more fun to hack em and turn em on their owners...^^
Game of the century! And I really believe it to be so, as this last 3-4 years of videogames has actually sucked pretty bad (there a still a few games worth your time but not really). And it's just gotten better since it's initial launch
You don’t need to explain your reasoning behind siding with songbird, I was a simp for her too. I need to do the phantom liberty ending though 💔
sorry but u got Reeds story a bit wrong... he wasnt "just Undercover" he was offered up as sacrefice to Arasaka to apease them, and barely escaped with his life. after that he went into Sleeper mode for the next 7 years... Alex was told he betrayed them and sold out to Arasaka and was subsequently killed, and she was "asked" to stay in Dogtown to keep eyes and ears open basicaly. shes tells u her part pretty well, and so does Reed actually.
but i get that its SOOOO much frikin lore, cant rem it all, and every point completely ofc ^^
all in all u do a pretty good job summarising such an extensive story rough enough to give ppl an idea even if they never played it, without going into so much detail that it becomes impossible to comprehend ^^
Unironically the best game ever made
They killed Jackie way to soon, I had hoped we would build a crew to work with early on
jackie would have survived if he had kept the chip slotted in his head, if it revived V it should have revived Jackie too
The game is still not perfect but with the DLC it got so much better. I really like it.
CDPR made so many memorable moments its not funny.
My single hardest decision was to betray So Mi or not. I cannot put in words how that series of events really tugged at me. I eventually played all the endings, but ... wow. Only one other game has ever caused that much anxiety over a plot choice and that was Mass Effect 2's final mission.
Already....wow.....
Take notes Bethesda
They never learn from their own mistakes... Will never learn from other
The cyberspace is Très bien.
Dont fear the reaper.👿
I so fcking glad i havent played the game till 2.0 update. I knew from the begining that whoever though that this FIRST next-gen engine will realease on 9 consoles whihc include last generation was so out of touch with reality this game was destined to fail. If this was next gen(current gen) only and PC we would have gotten mostly bug free experience and maybe over some time more expansions. Anyway im sure that most of us that have played the game agreee that we are definetly going to buy sequel.
Most of the bugs wernt consistantly happening every second of the game like most like to describe.
What music is at 4:08? I havent played in a while and thats one of my favs from the radio
Antagonistic is song name I have it on one of my playlists think it's on the pacific dreams station or the other one thats does more ambient tracks
@ thanks, either pacifica or night fm cs those were the only ones i listened to
I’m playing this game for the first time right now… it’s a bit overwhelming. I’m still in the first act and having a hard time getting into it….
Just take your time
I thought story and gameplay were good from the start but the gamebreaking bugs were absolutely crippling at launch NGL.
Combining this with a compelling setting, characters, voice acting and music it's peak gaming. Slicing thugs into ribbons with a katana while double jumping and listening to female V's ramblings is a regular highlight of my gaming diet.
Cyberpunk 2077 was great from day 1... bugs and all. Im still playing on my XBox1 withouht next gen patch, and its still goat
I feel like the intro of the game was a little bit too rushed, maybe if we had the access to the full game right away and we had few more hours with Jackie, his death would've hit harder, tbh.
When he died, it should've been a very sad moment, but you haven't developped any attachment to him by then to feel anything tbh, all the parts where you fastforward skips during "tutorial" mission, from knowing him to developping a friendship felt like it was a massive quest cut to save time and money which resulted in more like the death of an acquaitance than a friend.
If they had an introduction to Jackie similar to the Songbird from DLC, it would've hit so much harder imo.
Still loved the game, and still going back to it now and then to replay with mods.
Also, unpopular opinion maybe, but i would've liked better an anonymous character to Keanu. Felt really forced role and meh.
recently got an xbox one. and wanna buy this game. dunno if it is playable
playable yes i guess, tho it shouldnt have been released on oldgen to begin with, its too demanding on that outdated hardware, which caused it having so many problems on release.
which is also the reason, why Patch 2.0+ and Phantom Liberty DLC are Next Gen aka actual Gen and PC only, as the demand even increased, so they had to one up their specs...
this is like no man sky lol.
is this game like the outer worlds?
I had never played Cyberpunk 2077 until July of this year when I bought the Ultimate Edition. The game immediately grabbed me by the choombas and I was ready to kill if I had to, and burn the city down if I had to 😆
I was not disappointed and I have over 700 hours played since July 2024.
Sure it still has some glitches but certainly modding the game makes it even better.
I have been gaming since the mid-1980's starting with an Amiga 500. I have never found a game that got so much of my attention until Phantom Liberty and Cyberpunk 2077.
I have finished 4 playthroughs and on my 5th 100-hour playthrough now, mainly scavenging Dogtown as I decide which ending I want to try for my Male V Corpo. I have finished The Star, Don't Fear the Reaper, (aka The Sun) and sending So MI to the moon (twice) were all such emotional feels when the end credits finally played.
Sounds like you have not done the Reed side ending sequence. I would recommend that one next
And for the main game do the devil ending.
@verios44 I am most of the way through Dogtown quests, and was definitely thinking of Reed's ending. Since I have already sent So MI to the Moon twice. Plus it's the only ending you are allowed to say "fuck off" to Myers and give away the medal she gives you 😄
I have not done the Rogue ending or Trusting Araska for the Devil yet, maybe on my 6th playthrough.
"and I was ready to kill if I had to, and burn the city down if I had to " sounds like someone has been visiting Skye in Clouds...^^
@@wolfwilkopter2231 I do wish we could go back to clouds as a client. Not sure if there even is a mod for that tho.
@@verios44 That would actually be cool.
Couldnt find a mod for that either, not on a quick search on the Nexus...havent tested if you can have some fun via the hotscenes mod with Skye or the other one yet.
But the scene was awesome, memorable and straight into the core.
This is one massively spoilerific video. Might want to give some info on that.
I was not personally affected by this though, played through all paths and have seen all different kinds of relationships with Johnny. They differ too.
Best comeback, but it didnt need to be. CDPR wanted to make bank during the 2020 virus but instead disappointed everyone during these times. Months before the botched TLOU Part2 story was another downer for me. I eventually played version 1.6 and liked it. Got the version 2.0 again and enjoy it even more. CDPR turned it around and until GTA6 releases this will be the best RPG out there.
GTA isn't an RPG
Plus look how rockstar fucked up gta5 single player, it's very clear they only care about shark cards and making money
Sounds like you just need to up the difficulty. I found Hard mode to be a good normal mode
4 years laterand full key rebinding is still not in the game. How disappointing.
This game still has so much jank tbf, not sure why so many people pretend it's fixed. Cant imagine how bad it was at release.
I can not remember encountering any problems in my play through at the start of this year.
play bo6 campaign
Trash
yeah it was a shit show, if you were a console poor.
I game built on smoke and mirrors.
1. Fake demos / with broken Promises.
2. Half- baked RPG .
3. Took CDPR 3+ years just to fix the broken game.
4 CDPR had a huge Budget and even got funding from the polis government which was tax payers money & thst game was in development for more than 5 years yet still came out like crap.
5. Remember the whole " runs surprisingly well on Ps4/Xbox " lies!
6 No new game plus and the trash developers claimed it's because of its game design? If your game can't be made to have a new game plus then that's poor game design.
7. The Police system is still a joke and GTA 5 which released in 2013 has a better system then Cyberbug 2077
8. CDPR made One hit wonder which was the Witcher 3 another overhyped game and just like Cyberbug 2077 it's nothing more than a overhyped game full of smoke ans mirrors and bugs.
So, the anonymous developer that told the world about CDPR lies and that the game needed 2/3 more years ended up being right.
