This plays when all the cards are on the table and you've been effectively played like a fiddle. And while that fiddle player truly screwed you - mostly to save themselves, you can't help but sympathize and they're in a situation where they're completely at your mercy.
What's to note about Cyberpunk is, that it almost perpetually depressing. No story has a happy ending. Even of the many endings available, the happiest one is bittersweet.
Cyberpunk takes place in a dystopian future but it's veeery accurate to how dystopian today's world is in reality, the game is amazing, ESPECIALLY Phantom Liberty, incredible even as a standalone story. Highly recommend it :3
All I'll say is, listening to these songs on their own will never compare to listening to them in the moment. So yes, these moments are INCREDIBLY IMPACTFUL within context. Literally the most important and stressful decisions you will ever make in a game. Decisions that will sit with you for the rest of your life. I know it sounds like I'm being hyperbolic but this game is that good.
The game is basically split up into two OSTs. The radio OST (or licensed stuff) and then the cinematic music. Which plays during story aspects and cutscenes. They kind of interweave pretty seamlessly.
11:00 you ask if you can enter every building, and for the most part yes... But it's a bit more than that. I've played so many games for 35+ years and Cyberpunk was the game where I made the decision to build a $6,000 PC. The beauty of the game, the flow where there are no loading screens, and the sheer number of pedestrians I can have is just amazing. The game really does feel alive and lived in.
Should check out Wires and Chains for Cyberpunk (Dawid Podsiadło, P.T. Adamczyk - Phantom Liberty (Official Cyberpunk 2077 Music Video) they basically decided to write a James Bond esc song for the Phanton Liberty expansion and it is great.
Despite how popular this game seems, it is WAYYYYYYY underrated. Especially Phantom Liberty's story hits you like a high speed train in a night with burnt out front light bulb. I am a person who crays rarely, like I am cried few times in my lifetime, and this game, this DLC get my tears out. That is saying something...
at one point is was underrated.. especially in the patchs of 1.5 and 1.6 because the game was already pretty much fixed with minimal if any bugs happening... the introduction of 2.0 + PL, "re-launched" CP2077, gaining the popularity that still retains today... i would not call it underrated after 2.0... only at the 1.5 and 1.6 patches
Yeah! Day 1 player and it was horrible at launch, but now it's amazing! CDPR launched a disaster...but the put in the work to make it shine! EDIT: CDPR is from Poland, answering your question.:P
Many Hour 1 players me included can tell you that the game was nowhere near horrible. You were unlucky, let's leave it at that. Aside from a couple crashes, I've yet to ever experience a game breaking bug.
@@kynoVNs That's some hard copium there man, there were hundreds of graphical glitches, quest bugs, crashes, mass t posing, cars falling out of the sky. I have played nearly every patch state from the game from day 1 to phantom liberty, and the game wasn't in a playable state till patch 1.5. That being said, since 1.5, I've had an absolute blast playing the game. And the xpac made it even better. I'm not trashing the game, I love it, but I also acknowledge that it was hot garbage on launch day.
@@sehrverrueckt3358 I find it fascinating. Because i had no issues whatsoever with my 3 playthroughs prior to patch 1.5. I have no reason to bullshit you. I don’t get anything out of it. I just don’t understand why the game breaking stuff never happened in any of my game time when it was apparently this horrible.
@@kynoVNs I had the same experience. I played on Stadia first, don't know if that had anything to do with it. Game was stable all the way through for me. Loved every minute of it.
Last year just before Phantom Liberty came out they did a 2.0 patch with essentially redid the entire game, from adding cops to the game to redoing the combat system from the ground up, it was such a massive change u had to reinstall the game but gods! was it worth it! i played it and the expansion and had a absolute blast with the game.(i went Netrunner/melee, hack your enemies while sneaking around!) As for live action adaptations, they are working on something and u also have the insanely popular Edgerunners anime that came out last year.
the reason the game world holds together is that it is based on a well respected tabletop roleplaying game based on an exstreme composite of the cyberpunk genre known as cyberpunk 2020.
This plays during an absolutely devastating part of the story. Phantom Liberty is probably one of my favorite dlc expansions of all time. I would say that I love it slightly more than the base story. Definitely give it a try, the whole game is amazing
My wife before playing the expansion described "Never looking back" as pure depression. I absolutely love it. The White Singing (Slavic folk style singing) is so haunting in it. Female group Tulia is a great example of mixing classic Polish folk White Singing with modern songs ruclips.net/video/zvnFEATEx7A/видео.html ruclips.net/video/09NqLjHJtGQ/видео.html
Keeping it as spoiler free as possible - the reason why they're split into separate tracks is because there's a good chunk of dialog in the middle, like in an earlier comment - the first song is counting up the score with a character who's been pulling your strings the entire plot. The second is a showdown with someone who was involved with that person too, and you end up having to make a hefty decision.
Bit of context for the weird chanting you heard in the songs, throughout the DLC those chants are used as a leitmotif for one of the main characters of the DLC and without fail they play almost every time she's on screen in a major story beat.
I hope this does not get a movie. Never looking back is your dark night of the soul moment, before you have to make effectively the most important story decision of the dlc. The dlc is spy themed, but they did it better than any spy movie I have ever seen because the tonality of the world lends itself to dark choices and zero happy endings. Never Looking Back is top 3 songs from this game, and it feels perfect as you're driving down war torn streets at night in the rain, with fire and neon surrounding you, and your conflicted thoughts the lyrics.

cyberpunk has better cinematography than all Hollywood movies for the past few years combined
First person cinematography, big flex

@@Xerkrosis the only happy endings in cyberpunk are in BDs

It has both radio songs and an actual score.
And Cyberpunk does have a live action project in the works 😂
also an anime
in never looking back, at one point the vocals started singing V's main theme that you hear in the main menu and that gave me goosbumps
Also iirc it's played right after reveal and before your choice, so it's very fitting

Phantom liberty ost was just too good! I don't understand though why no one has reacted to "Contra la luna". That one hit so SO hard!

Hey Jesse, I would also recommend you check out "Contra La Luna" from Phantom Liberty. One of my favorites in the expansion!

Cyberpunk was fantastic at launch, I had the best time in my life with this game when it came out

Yes! More Cyberpunk 2077. It's an amazing game right now. You definitely should play it

Cops were always in the game. They just had teleport technology.
It was made in Poland and it's an fps open world game but with mostly story missions.

I finished phantom liberty when it came out, and i still think about it almost every day. game changed my fucking life, honestly.
Some music is ambient, some is radio and some is for story points.
There's a mix for different uses~
A good mix of songs in the game.
My wife before playing the expansion described "Never looking back" as pure depression.

I'd love to see a movie of this game, as long as they give Jesse Cox a cameo as the character he voiced.
Force Projection and Gate K9 are my favorite songs that came out of Phantom Liberty DLC, be sure to check them out as well.
CDPR is from Poland
Even if you're not into games you should play it someday, this game is really unique.
CD Projekt Red is a Polish studio
You need to listen to Vs theme and Rebel Path. PHENOMENAL MUSIC
I hope this does not get a movie. Never looking back is your dark night of the soul moment, before you have to make effectively the most important story decision of the dlc.

Cyberpunk is one of those few games that just needs to be played on PC with a 40 series card.
2:43 please no. they ruined the witcher please spare cyberpunk
