Treasures are always lost
Pleasures and rage combined
I’m watchin’ you
Be careful with your moves
Tonight
I think the time is right
I think the blood has dried
It cries for more
So what are we waiting for?
Wires and chains
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Starting to fade
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Feels like a game
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
You have to play
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Lights out
Is this who you really are
Can’t look into your eyes
Your twisted mind
It’s dark, so dark
We end it now
It ends right here, right now
Please tell me you brought the iron - |||
Let’s light up the sky
And fade into the night
Wires and chains
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Starting to fade
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Feels like a game
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
You have to play
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
The days when it was good are gone
I’m tryna’ see what it was for, but I’ll never know
And though it’s dead I hear the call
Wires and chains
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Starting to fade
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Feels like a game
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
You can't escape
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Wires and chains
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Starting to fade
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Feels like a game
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
You can't escape
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
I found out
Treasures are always lost
Pleasures are long forgotten
Who are you now

The dlc was such a masterpiece
Cdpr went so hard on the spy thrller influence, they even made their own bond film theme song
It is James Bond but its 2077 and the future is hard
Starring Idris Elba
@@Overneed-Belkan-Witchthe bond we all wanted
Yeah man I gotta agree. I put this up there with snake eater and also sidenote, when I hear James Bond, like music or theme songs, I think of the latest James Bond actor which is Daniel Craig and he’s my favorite is that weird anyways, that’s an amazing song. I can see myself listening to that again I’m as well put it in my list of music I listen to.
if any of you truly has an ounce of concern for the betterment of this company instead of just clamoring for its demise and denying its flaws you would at least for some improvement throw some feedback some criticisms - Now their funders can't be blamed for subtraction more than it is.
@@blackbradhz299Bro what're you on about? They're literally praising the game how're they clamoring for its demise?
Original game: Everyone's gangsta until the cello starts playing.
Phantom Liberty: Everyone's gangsta until a Polish man starts singing
Love the PFP Choom.
I'd say "Phantom Liberty: Everyone's gangsta until the Gate K9 starts playing". This song is more an emotional equivalent to the "Never Fade Away" cover. :-)
edgerunners: everyone's gangsta till a cute synthpop song starts playing
This song could be one of the best 007's theme.
@@pcz7595 Gate K9 activated the rabid dog part of my brain and I went ballistic lol
Fun Fact: The character at 1:50 who bumps V's shoulder is the singer of the song, Dawid Podsiadło. He also appears in-game as a character named Dante Caruso in the side gig "Shot by Both Sides". Dante is also voiced by Podsiadło if the game language is set to Polish.
also it's a dude from a quest
@@auniquehandlethats what he just said
@@auniquehandlehe literally said that lmao
Really!?
@@auniquehandle Literally no reading comprehension
“You play grown up games, you face grown up consequences.”
And same should apply to Reed and Myers even more.
That's why I send her to the Moon.
Yup, you try to fuck me over I give your half alive body to Reed lol, a bit too late for feeling sorry for me
@TerminatorZXY that's the thing, he never acted like that didn't apply to him, he simply stated it when V felt betrayed, because the truth is, it's not that black and white. He knew he could die confronting you, just as you knew you could confronting him, and frankly that is incredibly highlighted by how there is no boss fight for him, he is no imposing immovable object, it's just the difference between who shoots first, the pull of the trigger, the click of a button, its all the same in the end, and both V and Reed accepted that fact in The Killing Moon ending.
I honestly loved that. Hell, it wasn't even black and white whether so-mi was evil for what she did, because in perspective, she was out to save herself and she did whatever possible to do so, just like V. V used so many people, just like So-Mi. The only truly fucked up creatures in this story are Rosalind Myers and Kurt Hansen, the background players, treating V, So-Mi, and Reed like chess pieces in a convoluted and dirty game of chess.
Where the worse part is the game itself drags whoever outside in every now and then
Big
Finishing the final mission at 4 am then half falling asleep while blasting this song on headphones as the credits roll was a reality-altering experience
literally me back at beginning of october, the adrenaline from the cerberus bot then this song was wild
5 am in my case. I had only 2 thoughts in my head rolling through my head when credits were rolling:
1. What the fuck just happened
2. holy fuck its 5 am and i have work at 9 am
and one more
3. damn Dawid Podsiadło is fire
It's 5am right now, just finished and I'm shocked by the ending. This was absolutely stunning. This is how you should make choices in Video games matter. Damn.
I did THE SAME EXACT THING. My heart was heavy as fuck for the rest of that day.
literaly me last night
Please, I'm BEGGING YOU, PLEASE get Dawid Podsiadło to perform this song at the Game Awards. It's such a good song!!!
God I'd pay to see that.
That's more likely than one would think
I actually think it's very likely
I'd like that too but it's probably gonna be Imagine Dragons with their Starfield song
You mean the same event they'll collect BEST RPG for Phantom Liberty?
2:46 The scene with Myers playing chess with Hansen, and her sacrificing Songbird like a pawn is such a beautiful touch
with kurt hansen, not reed
@@RoseDragoness you're right, I don't know how I could've misindentified those two
and people say she isnt a victim
God damm, after finisng Phantom Liberty it hits hard
Yeah, really a good dlc
I know man
It hits hard and I haven't even played it yet.
Is the dlc in terms of story as good as the First part of the game ? Just to know if i buy it!
@@GTO-Onizuka22 first part of game ? you mean boring linear stuff when u have to run around listen to evelyn,dex,vic etc. ? that was the worse part. would love to skipp that shit in act 1 to get to open world
The visual of Hansen putting his pieces down and Myers flipping the board and eventually sacrificing her piece just throwing it away was a masterpiece visual
And then when the piece falls and then turns into the tunnel…yeah I totally agree and that’s what I was thinking, “man this ending sequence is kinda amazing.”
i must say seing V surrounded by all of them and falling down, forced to make a decision is fastest way to get a heart attack
this scene alone perfectly shows u all the drama in just 10 seconds
It shows you so much in a few short moments. Hansen working so hard to set his board and thinking he's important when in reality Myers is an entire other level that could wipe out all of his carefully laid plans in a mere instant, on a whim. Her lack of care for Song as anything other than a tool, a pawn. And her ruthless personality where nothing matters but resurrecting her "image" of the USA.
Hell of a powerful moment... and only makes me feel better about not siding with her.
@@JB-xl2jc u know i thnk that would be the best main quest ever if Myers decide to reclaim NC with militech assistance, and whole city suddenly unite to protect their environment
imagine all gangs all fixers every merc unleash hell on NUSA military
that could be a great way to continue the story
i wish i could see ex enemy gangs cooperate, complement each other
and that could be simple yet great way to evolve this city for the better
@@aztekwr I would like that yeah! Especially since as a backdrop Yorinobu would still be dismantling Arasaka so it couldn't protect NC's sovereignty like it did in the prior corpo-war. Now it's up to every street punk, every fixer, every gangoon... to put their money where their mouth is.
Phantom Liberty's OST not being nominated for "Best score and music" at TGA 2023 made me raise my eyebrows. Absolute banger of a soundtrack.
I feel like it should have been nominated too. At least the original score was nominated in TGA 2021 but didn't win.
I wonder if the release date kinda ruined it also. 2077 was released on the same day as the TGA awards was held. So people had a full year to experience other things before TGA 2021.
Anyway it doesn't matter. What matters is that we love it.
ITS NOT? what a shame
@@Ronzem2Well phantom liberty is nominated a few times so there’s that
they didn't pay the critic tax :)
@@Ronzem2 If not this year then 2024 most likely. You cannot hear the PL ost and not think it's the best shit in years. 2
Let me just say the endings of Phantom Liberty with this song just hits the perfect feels. Its one of the few times I sat in silence after a video game ending and just listened.
same
The end of the video showing V surrounded by her choices, and collapsing on the ground covering her ears encapsulates it perfectly.
Same😭
Yup same. Just did lmao
"Play the game, listen to the song, and I hope you're gonna fucking cry" - Dawid Podsiadło
Not one tear dropped from playing Phantom Liberty.
I was smiling cause the gameplay was so fun. @@FrankTheDoomriderJohansen
@@FrankTheDoomriderJohanseni sobbed like a fucking baby.
Yep, Dawid, you made us cry. Very much.
I was
If I didn't know, I would be pretty sure that this song is from another James Bond movie. Love it.
I was just about the say that😂 i cant get it out of my head
Reminds me of skyfall
most definitely
Glad I'm not the only one who thought of Bond
Heaps of the dlc feels like out of a bond film and I am loving every bit of it!
I don’t think I’ve ever felt this amount of emotions in a game. I don’t think I ever will again. Thank you CDPR.
Played god of war? And it’s following game ragnorok? It’s next level
@@B_RizzleMyNizzle GoW is incredible but imo it doesn't invoke the same amount of emotion because you are so much further removed from being Kratos than you are V
Play Red Dead Redemption 2, thank me later.
@@diabolicseed I already have
@@Lololemons For me that one hit harder, I don't know why. But I guess you just resonate more with V and his story. * *Drink* * To V and Arthur!
Before playing Phantom Liberty:
"This is a pretty cool song!"
After playing Phantom Liberty:
"This song is a dagger aimed for the heart of all my feels..."
Especially the scene with V holding her ears. Thats a good depiction of how she is being manipulated by everyone in this Addon.
@@kadirr8974 I believe that depiction is supposed to be So mi before she joined the FIA. That is how she appears in the (Spoilers)
Memories you see when trying to reach her inside Cynosure during the storyline where you side with Reed
@@Kasladia_Live the person in the video clearly has V's jacket
700 лайков 👍 поздравляю 🎉
You are dead on correct! I chose (spoilers) to side with her, take her to the launch pad but then gave her up to Reed for his offer. And when he picks her up into the shuttle and the music starts kicking in at that moment and on through the credits with this song....wow, very powerful. After going through an intense moment of escaping the spaceport to a dramatic moment....just a perfect production and great ending for me. It hit the feels, a good feels. I applaud that, mission accolmplished. Loved it!
This DLC really drove home the "no happy endings in Night City" theme. I never felt good or confident about any of my choices, a long series of lose-lose situations where all you can do is try to be true to your own convictions. It will definitely stay with me a while.
Yeah... there was never going to be any true survival for either V and So Mi. It was one or the other, never both.
As someone who’s a newcomer to this game and has been wanting to play it since it released, that fact is becoming truer every second. Night City really does take everything from you huh? I’m just hoping I can at least get the good ending with Judy. Even if it kills me she at least deserves some happiness.
Right, like i originally chose to go with song because i didnt really trust reed after what he did to the netrunners, but i still didnt trust song either. In the end i betrayed song and went with reed because i just couldnt stomach killing him
@@spacedout4061 You couldn't stomach killing him despite Reed being a coward for not even standing up to Myers to protect So Mi from what amounts to modern political slavery?
@@JynxedKoma so mi literally betrayed everyone multiple times to do her own thing, reed also, while not being able to stand up to myers, was also not gonna kill so mi like he was told, and he wasnt gonna kill me because he protects his people
Cyberpunk has become a masterpiece
starfield is better
@@baban-v7c It's not April 1st bro
@@baban-v7c😂😂😂😂😂😂😭🤣
@@baban-v7cloved both and no it aint
It was always a masterpiece, if people just looked beyond the glitches. I played this back in 2021 realized it then how amazing and emotional this game is.
After playing the expansion I can confidently say that CDPR have made my new favourite spy movie without it even being a movie
Yup. Same
Same here.
Theres even gonna be tv serie coming out in maybe 2 years
If that had been an animated movie I'd have gladly seen it. Kinda expecting RUclipsrs to eventually piece together the cut scenes into just that.
And survival horror
Fucking hell... Didn't think you guys could make me cry two times in two different credits in the same game. Masterfully done. Hats off...
couldnt agree more bro, cant love anyother game than this one, not as much as i like C77 bro. They did us wrong
Yep, not 100% sure it was the music that triggered me, i mean, PL choices were weighing heavily on my soul and this song kinda works well with the feeling i already head after pulling the plug on So Mi.
That said, Never Fade Away got me the moment the lyrics started, still do, even when i just hear it. For that this song has to be nr2 by a small small margin.
@@vincentouwehand828 PL had a such heavy ending choices that I dont think music is necessary for it to make someone cry. This song, over the PL endings... just final nail to your attempts of not crying if you ask me.
@@barisbuz it definitely hit me in the head after doing the right thing, let go of songbird.
it would be better to make them laugh😂
This gives me Adele "Skyfall" vibes, and I love it.
Same!
for me it was the Chris Cornnel vibes from Casino Royale
For me is Snake Eater from Metal Gear Solid
This is a MILLION times better than Skyfall. That was a boring non-entity piece of tripe that Adele couldn't even pronounce the title word properly. This is immense.
Its because this is a spy theme 😪
Genuinely phenomenal stuff. It encapsulates the spy thriller theme perfectly.
The expansion itself was a perfect note to end on too.
Absolutely adored it, without properly spoiling the ending I got for others possibly including you. Getting to the core was a pain in the arse but even that frustrating challenge was full of emotion, fear and mystery. Then that choice I had to make at the end. I made a big mistake choosing what I did. Not many things can make me cry but this song was what finally burst the dam.
@@kieranadamson3224i think every ending I've had to the game has made me cry (even the new one) but the ending to phantom liberty was all equal parts "did I do the right thing, what will be the consequences " was very thought provoking. But I don't think I'd do it differently in retrospect.
It does, doesn't it. It feels like something straight out of a Bond movie opening
@@napsterxxlYeah there were a few times it built up and it just sounded reminicent of James bond
*Spoilers*
I liked the DLC but "Somewhat Damaged" dragged this DLC down, imo. Running from some scary robot in a facility like it's a horror game got lame real quick. Thankfully you can skip this by siding with So Mi at Kurt's place.
“I’m with you So Mi, until the end”
WHAT A FUCKING BEAUTIFUL GAME
Hahaha i give her after that line xddd
@jorgeiriartej.3840 Honestly, siding with Songbird, then giving her up at the last minute is probably the best option for her.
If you drill her on who exactly gave her the tickets to Luna she'll describe Mr. Blue Eyes. Y'know, the guy that was involved with altering the Peralez's memories? It's not likely that he/the company he represents are saving her out of the goodness of their hearts.
All she's doing is trading the devil she knows; a devil who, despite everything, _does_ seem to care about her, for a devil she doesn't know, and likely doesn't care about her.
@@Wounded_Kitten yeah that's what i did, i found funny how johnny called me judas and i was like wtf she did the same johnny
@@jorgeiriartej.3840If you hold off until the end, he's a bit less harsh towards you.
*_a BIT_*
@@Wounded_Kitten That is true but if you do send her off to the moon, you will know she made it safely as she gives you another quest a little while after giving you a token from a moon city.
Fuck me I thought "killing moon" was a heartache, then I played "somewhat damaged". Watching Reed walk out into the desert and hearing the song phantom liberty play got me 10 times worse😭😭😭😭😭
First came Cyberpunk. Then Cyberpunk Edgerunners.
Then came Phantom Liberty.
My heart is getting weak.
Yet I'm loving every second of it.
Now a live action
Don't forget about the book
@@SamuMilani currently reading it, its so good
What’s the book Called?
@@jaredmatts2745 cyberpunk: no coincidence
I love how V at 4:50 is in the center, not knowing which path to choose and who to thrust
That was one of the things that ended up breaking me.
"Betray Songbird"
"Betray Reed"
A brilliant freudian slip.
Poor V played by all.. ~ despite having Panam, Judy, River ward, & Johnny Silverhand.. she's still Alone and lost in search for her survival ~ I'm sorry, Female V is cannon for me.. Male V seriously made me dislike V & the game never liked him my 1st playthru or understood his body language in dialogues.. lacked the depth and micro-expression fem V gives out.. so i let johnny live instead.. lol this time.. I Love V like i loved Geralt ~ recently found out the voice actress. Her Cuteness overwhelmed my Cyberware XD
@@SpadeApeironfam v is v, there is no canon or non canon one
The story writers at CDPR need to be awarded. Seriously. I wasn't prepared for the emotional rollercoaster that is phantom liberty.
...did you give up the bird or let it fly?
I let it fly and killed who stepped in my way because they wouldn’t let me free the bird, the story is phenomenal.
You went with her until the very end. A respectful decision. @@OeM61
Freed the bird, smoked the dead man, saved his sidekick and kept my promise to Johnny. We in it together til the end. Whatever happens. 🤷🏻♂️
Think I saved the bird, or was told, gave in and became an NPC :(
Went to far too give her up at the end, even tho V got betrayed, I wasn't gonna throw her life away, there was no turning back now not after everything we did.
You know a song is good when you stay through the credits to listen to it, shazam it, and immediately add it to your spotify favorites.
The beautiful orchestra cutting through it, the sharp swing rhythm on the drums, the fantastic vocals. This is a masterpiece.
Playing the game for the first time broke me hard.
Watching Edgerunners broke me harder.
But Phantom Liberty? Actually had me resting my face in my hands out of sorrow.
Same.
The main game has the Aldecados ending, which i think is still the most hopeful outcome for V and most of his friends.
Edgerunners ending was hard but also kinda beautiful.
But Phantom Liberty? V can just choose between betraying someone or being betrayed. Every choice comes with a sacrifice...and that's just heartbreaking.
@@alsenar2honestly I think the best ending is siding with so mi and then turning her in to reed when she passes out in the final mission, pretty sure it's the only way everyone including v can live and the only one who gets kinda fucked over is so mi but even then it's probably for the best given how far gone she is by the end
@@calus_bath_water probably the best cinematically too, that part with the rain, music, a dying cyborg girl, rocket in the background and Idris Alba trying to stop you is just like a fkin movie
@@calus_bath_water dude I think everyone ignores that V gets abandoned by his friends and johnny straight up dies in that ending. It's so much worse than the other endings.
@@CharlieKell You don't have to trade her for the cure.
You can just decide not to play their game and give her up, alongside it ; arguing that you've got not right to trade a life for another.
That's what I did, as I'm a big fan of the Star Ending.
Next James Bond movie deserves this type of song. Just saying...
It already has one: Skyfall theme.
Next james bond movie deserves Idriss Elba as Bond aswell
And that kind of Secret agent too (Idris Elba)
And I think that might have been hinted at in the cinematic trailer
I don't know if you watched the Night City Wire where it was revealed but it was said at some point that there was an Easter Egg in the background of a specific shot
I'm 99% certain the Easter Egg was a news report of the Dow Jones going up or down by 0.07%
Dow Jones being abbreviated as DJ, which can also mean Disk Jockey, i.e. what Idris Elba is for one of the new Radio Stations (Dark Matter I think? Something along those lines)
Soooooo, maybe 👀
@@alexanderrose1556 Damn. Beat me to it.
@@alexanderrose1556 It doesn't need to be Bond. It's a franchise rooted in old patterns, old tech, old social cues, and goofy campy action. (Though they have tried to make it grittier in recent installments.) Idris brings so much gravitas that I would like to see him spearhead a new spy franchise more worthy of that gravitas. Hell, I'd rather see the events predating Phantom Liberty as a movie over just another Bond installment.
This is the sort of production quality we should expect from a AAA game and boy did CDPR deliver. The gameplay, the acting, the suspense, the music and the visuals were all pure perfection. Phantom Liberty was a truely cinematic experience and this song hit so hard at the end. Wow. Just Wow.
Has raised the standards... so many games feel now childish when u compare them with Cyberpunk... Cause its not only technical perfection, its also a sense of art flowing throught every line, a sense of responsability, epicity... a desire to trascend in time, making non-easy-to-answer questions to everyone willing to hear them. Has some deep...which is an habit long forgotten.
@@xxwaspxxbegoten7045 It was my exact feelings after wild hunt, and they did it again, best gamedev company right now, nobody have the same level of worldbuilding, storytelling and soundtrack, gameplay something around average, but almost any game has this issue right now, and when rest parts is pure art it doesnt really matter.
@@justarty184i love both witcher 3 and cyberpunk but rockstar is still in its own league. Just look at red dead 2, that game can't be topped from a technical point of view after half a decade
@@daseafrate2025it’s true, but why do they feel the need to make the gameplay as repulsive as possible? I would like to complete the story again but I’m so tired of pressing X to gallop. So frustrating. Cdpr respects players more
@@daseafrate2025I couldn't even finish rdr2. Shit was boring as hell. I wanted to like it but I couldn't. CDPR>>>>Rockstar
Cyberpunk is proof that no matter how bad the start, if you love and are dedicated to the story you wish to tell, you will find praise, thank you for making one of the best games of the decade, rocky start or not, you more then did your duty
People were so quick to judge upon the games launch, people never cared to look into the future but rather the present.
CDPR developers outdid themselves.
This song hits hard after finishing phantom liberty, no matter what I choose every endings feel bad cuz no one deserves their fates like that.
Exactly , (spoiler ) saving song is depressing cause I don't want to kill reed. Saving reed and song still feels wrong as u denied her a chance.
In the end it's all fucked up cause whatever u do song dies. I chose to send her home but felt soo guilty but that's the only way everyone can live. Also gives V a cure but that's the most depressing ending in the whole game
@@virenkeswani Can you just not post spoilers a couple days after release?
@@virenkeswaniscrew song
@@TheTacticalTuna cope
@@TheTacticalTunaI mean, this is a video of the end credits song full of spoilery images, what are you doing here if you don’t want to get spoiled?
taken as a girl from her home, her skills exploited to such an extent she contracts a terminal sickness, she then tries to save herself but in doing so becomes entangled and trapped in a conspiracy to conduct treason and is hunted by the very people who exploited her in the first place. Song Bird is such a tragic and heart breaking and sad character, so well written and created too. Mix this with Reeds guilt in being the one who caused most of her pain but conflicted by his devotion to country and serving his master, the very madame president who used Song Bird to the point of destruction. what a story.
A good summary of this incredible but tragic story, the level in Project Cynosure bunker lets you really put yourself in So-mi's shoes and relive the important and painful moments of her life, understanding that in the end she's just a sophisticated tool in the eyes of Myers and the FIA, who only want to use her as a computer/Object and don't give a damn about the potential consequences of their action on SongBird's.
Exactly why I've thrown everything away and went full-savior style to get Song to that damn spacecraft. She deserves it.
@@OstravskiOstravak did same. Still feeling bad about Reed and his fate. He chose his way and I chose mine, but... Damn he didn't deserve this.
@@ДанилБорисов-ч6л I exhuasted every option tring not to kill him, dying a few times in the process. I swear, I started to feel a meta story in this DLC about Time Travel and trying to change things for the better. Its fuking insane
The story is so great becUse you kinda understand each side, but also no sides were good, no sides were right. That is shoen here aswell with v being surrounded by 4 people and just seemingky feeling confused or scared. None of them are good or bad.
I hope CDPR get Dawid Podsiadlo for all their games. 🤯
omg girl i loved ur quest stella stuck in a car was funny and then dark and then funny again
Agreed
Yo it's THE sphere hunter, loved your sidequest
Ty ...
Holy Shit, i wasn't sure if it was SphereHunter, but she Sure looked familiar :)
Finished it today and I'm in tears. The choice between reed and song bird is clear as a daylight but man it feels so difficult to betray reed. Even though his motivation and drive towards madame president is flawed but man he was a kind mind deep inside. I tried every way so he survives and I was happy that I didn't face him but then he came in front of the rocket and man my heart skipped a beat knowing what will happen next. Killing reed broke me and so did song's tragic story and just when I thought I have got a hold on my emotions, I heard this song 😔
The real villain of this story is Myers
It was such an emotional rollercoaster
That literally describes my first experience
Those ending credits are really something ! I really like to see that in a video game at the same level as in a big animation movie
You know that feeling when a game ending brings you genuine sorrow because the characters are that well written, the adventure is that engaging..you really don't want to say that final goodbye? This DLC is a masterpiece that completely redeemed the 2020 debacle. Already playing through the game again to see if I can do something better this time.
They do. Cyberpunk 2077 had a budget of $174 million which is about on par with most big animation movies released by Disney or Pixar.
The fact that the singer is from Cyberpunk 2077 Edgerunners Anime ending song says something.

Your right sad its over. That's how you know it was impactful not many can pull that off.

glad i set the bird free, she was on her own quest
Nah she got me roped into this spy shit. Then basically told me to fuck my self so she can get the only cure. Gave her to reed after that
what u mean by that
The two down sides to setting the bird free are you miss out on dope weapons and she'll end up in another cage
@@liban9255as long as you dont betray yourself, thats not for us to fix
Tbh, it's not about saving yourself. In the words of Johnny Silverhand... haven't realised it yet, have you? You can't save yourself, remember? You got shot in the head, and you died! You don't normally get back up from that and walk it off... you're not there to save yourself. You can elect to help those around you... but even that's not a requirement, you can screw everyone out of everything...
Phantom Liberty completely broke me emotionally and had me questioning my morals harder than I ever have in my life. Cybberpunk 2077 is more than just a game. It's a story and a lesson.
It's been about 3 weeks since I completed it, and I've not had any mental wherewithall to play anything else. Phantom Liberty has kind of broken me, 3+ decades of PC gaming and I think I'm done.

But look how many awards this Starfild won. Do you think these rewards are worth anything now?
@StormBK1337 starfield didnt win any awards. They have only nominations which mean nothing. And this game wont win a single award. Cyberpunk DLC was better than their actual game in LITERALLY every possible way. I am unable to name one thing that is better in Starfield.

This song is incredible! Makes you emotional and shows how cruel the world of Cyberpunk is
Tells you a lot about how messed up the world of cyberpunk is when the most relatable and least dishonest people in it are international spies and simple mercenaries.
No matter which ending I get in Phantom Liberty, this credit roll gives me the most goosebumps I've ever got in games.This is THE interactive movie people having been talking about in films.
This is the best "bond theme" I've ever heard! It's worth completing the expansion for this alone, but you ALSO get one of the best written expansion stories I've ever played!
I think it's safe to say that CDPR have won us back.
This entire credits sequence gave me serious 007 vibes and I loved every second of it.
That dlc was a rollercoaster of emotions. And that song is fantastic. Dawid proves he's a great artist
Expansion (there is a difference) but yes i agree
Me Before Finishing DLC : 😄😄😄
Me After Finish DLC with all ending :😮😮😮🥶🥶
I've been a PC gamer since the 80's.
It's been 2 months since I completed Phantom Liberty.
I've not played anything since. I think the game broke me in some sort of fundamental way. Mind and soul.
Well played CDPR. Well played.
yeah i felt the same when played first time
Same. Took like three weeks off lol.
THIS RIGHT HERE. Lmao my friend I am dying for more in this franchise.
Kinda have same feelings. I didn't quit gaming, but after this I turned my attention to longer, more story-oriented, not-so-triple-A games like Trails series. Phantome Liberty broke my heart. Trails to Zero is curing it right now. Anyway, huge love for both games.
I finished right now, came here for the song, but i feel the same.
In many ways she's a reflection of V's current state, she'd do anything to live, she's looking for any out she can get and even sacrifices a part of herself to live. She casts aside her morals and betrays even someone she truly considers a friend just to live. In a way it's the very struggle V is going through, he'd do almost anything to survive, potentially even at the cost of friends, but in one ear there is Johnny who despite all his flaws is saying that one shouldn't kill who they are just to live. That one should live with values and morals and not sell themselves to some oath or corporation because you're human, and you should stay human.
johnny in don't fear the reaper ending is like "we live human, we die human!"
One of the best stories I have ever played and the best end credits for sure... When they all stopped I stared at my own reflection in my monitor like "Woah... It's gonna be awhile before I feel this again"... Felt like when you finish watching a masterpiece at the movies and you're just sitting there like 😮... Anyone else feel that?
Mhmm, I wholly agree, especially since I get so immersed in this game, Phantom Liberty is gonna be stuck in my head for a while. Ever since that talk with Songbird about fleeing everything and everyone, I knew betrayal was inevitable, but nothing could've prepared me for what decisions I would have to make and the weight each one would carry.
I saved Songbird in the end, sent her to the moon, but felt genuinely used and defeated by everyone involved, like a fucking doormat. Must've sat there for an hour just processing everything that happened and how it affected me.
Definitely on my list of greatest/most memorable games I've ever played.
I also felt like that.... i sent her to the moon, just wanter her to live after being used as a weapon of mass destruction...just wanted her to be happy for once. tried to sleep after the credits rolled... without success...
I felt that and more, but yes I feel you. It was VERY emotional. That song playing at that moment after the climax, blew me away, and made me feel such powerful emotions... Especially considering it's like a spiritual successor to a James Bond song, or CDPR's take on one, also taking into account the fact that a mission was literally named "You Know My Name" (the name of the opening song of Casino Royale), and I got reminded of what I feel for those songs. Along with the emotions from my playthrough, it did something crazy... The power of music and Passion..! Anyway yeah, that feeling. I know it well. Then life continues but you're still under the emotion... The clock is ticking and the show must go on, and yet... Something crazy happened and now we live with that experience in us. A blessing...
Try nier automata's credits.
Agree, especially after I choose to betray Songbird, the story became more emosional, and the end we must have make so hard choice, kill her or let her live, maybe that's the hardest choice in my live...
Man Dawid Podsiadlo should do next intro to James Bond like... WOW this guy is the GOAT in this genre of music
I was wondering why this song wasn't uploaded officially. Really needed to listen to this again after finishing the dlc. Loved it man... Shame Cyberpunk 2077 is not getting more expansions.
Hey, Orion will probably come out in 2025 - 2026. We have that to look forward to and considering what the canon ending to the game clearly is. We're in for one hell of a ride. I just hope we can get a full game on the calibre of PL next time. I have hope.
@@kieranadamson3224naah bro Orion is not releasing anytime soon.... they are working on the next witcher and w1 remake... Orion is probably 2030 or something 😞😭
@@shirogamih ah well, principle stands at least right? Besides, considering the overwhelming positivity for Phantom Liberty, that could place at least a bit more importance on the next Cyberpunk project. Yet, in turn they hopefully will actually take the time to properly craft what we got a glimpse of in PL into a game.
I mean the games are being developed simultaneously, but ye, no way we get Orion before 2027/2028
Music Charts statistics always start on Fridays, maybe that's why
“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”
Fly high, So Mi.
This song after finishing the game feels like a cherry on top of the cake!
Yeah, I felt like I deserved it. Played it on very hard difficulty, level 60, didn't die once... of course I was chromed twice as much as Adam Smasher by that point. Sandevistan + Rasetsu, serious carnage my chooms.
I really hope CDPR get Dawid to play his Phantom Liberty song at The Game Awards 2023 in December 🙏
Or somewhere good
Bravo CDPR.
I'm a 42 year old gamer, gaming has been my biggest hobby for over 30 years. I've played hundreds if not thousands of games, and there are very few games I would consider as truly elite. Dragon Age Origins, Knights Of The Old Republic, Skyrim, Mass Effect 2, and now Cyberpunk 2077.
Congrats on creating something truly special. A game I will never forget.
Same man. It makes me so depressed to know this game will always be seen by millions of people has a terrible game not worth anything, when meanwhile it made me live something I will remember for my entire life. I hope some day, people will realize how good this game actually is but I fear it will never happen :(
same here ... we kinda been trough it all
This has the same feeling of my grandpa talking about his war medals
I have played as well all of those games you listed and they are really good indeed! But I noticed that is missing BG3 in that list, in my opinion, you should give it a try if you haven't my dude
Did you play Witcher games? They are also on the top.
Don't think I've ever felt more suspense with each choice I made in a game than this expansion. By far one of the best DLCs I've played for any game. Felt like the story was longer than the main game was. Absolutely worth the money.
Man they just captured the whole meaning behind Phantom Liberty in 6 minutes. Say what you want about CDPR but their storytelling ability is beautiful.
They are the best, there is simply no competition

Johnny : G'night Valerie. Today was a good day.
It broke my heart
yeah that scene nearly broke me, that and the fact that he's more afraid of taking over V than he is dying
Which ending is this? I don't remember this line
@@MurihSantosits the new Phantom liberty ending, you have to acquire the neural matrix to get this ending
This broke my heart because seeing how Johnny really loved my V and calling him Vincent after saying how we settled it in the oil fields how we felt etc was heavy. You could tell how much emotion and growth Johnny and V have together by the end of the story. Johnny really does love V and have regrets. And when it all comes down to it he wants him/her to live. He does love them. And for the first time he wants nothing more than to do the right thing for once. It sucks so much because V and Johnny deserve to live and have a happy ending. They’ve been through so damn much and both fought like hell. It’s a tragedy. I’d have given anything to have them Jackie and Songbird to live/be cured too. And not have it end so bittersweet for these characters. Like without saying anything that ending if you played PL man… I was mixed and kinda mad while being sad 😅but I get what it means and is conveying storytelling wise
Just think, this game evokes such a storm of emotions that no one will be able to call games just entertainment anymore. This game is a work of art. You become attached to the characters as if they were living people, and you worry about their fate. CDPR, thank you for that work of art.
Shit man, games have been art since Ocarina of Time. Evoking philosophical questions about the loss of innocence and the importance of nature. The media just likes to shit on anything young people like because young people don't watch their programs. They gotta get those old cynical people to get riled but because back in thier day they had a hoop and a stick.
So true. No game has ever been this immersive. It just makes you feel like you’re living V’s life. Everyone in the game is so well written they feel real. It’s pure art.
What did it for me is it was 20 hours that invoked emotions. Didn’t cry or anything but it was definitely emotional. Last time I felt like that from a game was a full 80 hours of rdr2
Hate the fact you can't romance SoMi ;-;
A lot of games succeed in this kind of thing. But yeah, CP77 was one of them.
If CDPR can bring this level of music production, storytelling and writing to Project Orion, we will have an absolute masterpiece istg
Hoping they stick with the same team
I wish they let it cook until its actually a good game as 2.0 was for someone who never played the original mess, and not rush it. Hopefully they learnt their lesson with the original release. Although witcher 4 is first, so there is a long way until Orion
I absolutely adore how CDPR has the balls to trust the audience is intelligent and mature enough to grasp adult, sometimes downright disturbing themes (such as XBD snuff films, serial killers, and graphic suicide) and deep narratives and character building. I played Starfield before i did another play through of this including this incredible DLC and wow... actually night and day when it comes to narrative and character building. I actually really loved Johny Silverhand by the end, Judy too (her non romance friendship ending with male V on the pier talking about leaving night city after your dive through her old neighborhood was so damn bitter sweet and moving), and i was sad to see the game end. I did the set the bird free ending to this DLC, it was beautiful. When the credits rolled and this song came on it truly felt like i had just watched a 10/10 futuristic bond film. I'm 32, kinda fuckin old for a gamer, enjoyed gaming since i was 8 years old and i can count how many games made me really feel something sublime with their story on 1 hand. Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk would both be on that list so thank you CDPR you are fucking awesome and you elevate the medium of video games with your work and prove that game design is a true art form.
gotta agree with you there, these heavy adult themes create such an intresting world, these regular things in our current world have been taken to the etremees in the world of cyberpunk. the wealth gap of the population, the pervasive crime, the cosmetic surgery goes beyond bigger lips but modify abilty, I can appreciate an Harry potter type story which tackles dark but not exactly disterbing and as adult themes but sometimes i wanna go deep in on those themes and not just tackele the surface of 'people are bad but sometiems they are good' but betrayal, oppression, guilt, depression, hopelessness, desperation, death, these are have major impacts on the world of CP77 and it create an diverse and textured story that is hard to have in other world that restrict themselves to a younger teen audience (that that every media needs a dark and depresing story dealing with the worse of society, i love a lighter take on the themes of evil but man do i love CP77 usage of a dark adult world.
Exactly the same thoughts I have. Played starfield and then this and wow its embarrassing how much it just blows starfield out of the water. Thought some story bits of starfield were alright but man compared to this? No chance.
Dude, I'm 47 and still a dedicated gamer, hoping to catch up with my Steam backlog someday after I retire :)
Glad I'm not the only one that wanted Songbird to be as free as possible, even with her betrayals I still felt bad for her.
@@Ketol1510 Yeah, she is the same as V in many ways. Victim of technology gone too far, used and discarded by the NUSA like Dex uses and discards us. Lying, cheating, killing, and stealing for a chance to see tomorrow just like V. Usually in my playthrough i would kill anyone who fucked V over but i think forgiving her would be like V forgiving himself a bit right before i headed into the ending of the game. Very artful i thought. Loved this DLC.

I have no idea of what you said brother.. But I agree in every single bit :)
Pravda, amen na to.
Whoever made these visuals deserves a huge raise, this not only sounds great, it looks. Looks like a best music video for this song that encapsulates plot and it's interpretations in couple minutes.
They even made a Grimes music video within the game that's pretty much in the style of a real Grimes music video. They really went the extra mile.
I would've liked the visuals a lot more if they weren't blurred by tears on the first watch. Glad we live in the era where I can get em in HQ on YT!
Despite not being a bond game, This is the best James bond song since Casino Royale
I agree. Although... I think the rejected bond song Spectre from Radiohead it the best bond song since Casino Royale. This song is excellent, but Spectre by Radiohead is a masterpiece, from which this song I think took some inspiration from.
You suck
The Cyberpunk world is shaping up to be absolutely incredible. We’ve had Cyberpunk 2077, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, and now we have Phantom Liberty.
I want another show or another DLC. This is incredible.
I definitely want another dlc for the game but all I’ve heard about was they are adding multiplayer hopefully with new content
@@traygold7556 Phantom Liberty is the only DLC 2077 is going to get. The Multiplayer thing is a mod (meaning only on PC and it's going to be janky, but still fun i'd imagine, the dev has some cool ideas), the official implementation was cancelled years ago due to the poor launch of the game leading to CDPR focus on fixing the game + the migration to Unreal Engine 5 in future projects (meaning any work done in Red Engine, the one Cyberpunk runs in, wouldn't directly translate to UE5).
So all we got for the future of Cyberpunk is Orion (codename for the next game/sequel, probably 5+ years away) and maybe that live action series.
man oh man i wish there's more. but all we can do is just hoping Project Orion was wayyyy better without any disastrous bug day one + more complicated branched choice
In theory, so as far as a rumor can go, there will be a sequel. It’s been talked about, I think, by the devs - Phantom Liberty will be the only DLC to C77; there will be no expansions (and who knows if there’ll be a show; CDPR wasn’t necessarily in charge of the show). But there’s supposed to be a sequel. I doubt it will be about V’s journey since we did have the option of various endings, so I have no clue what it could be featuring, but it is going to be a Cyberpunk something or other.

I can't believe that V's story is over... Phantom Liberty was amazing in everyway possible, there is never a happy ending in night city...
Honestly I felt like there is a good ending. Not trading in So Mi and killing Reed. So Mi finally gets away from all the suffering she went through, Alex finally can retire and Reed is finally freed from being the slave he was for all those years. He was a slave to his principles and Myers and would have spent the rest of his life in misery, doing the same thing and suffering through the same things over and over again, until he is too old and the NUSA discard him. The only one who doesn't get a good ending is V, but at least nothing gets worse for them, it just stays at status quo. Honestly the most positive ending you could expect after this intertwined series of tragedies
@@mondsgesandter Absolutely agree, I freed So Mi because that's what she wanted, I made a promise that I would, so I stuck with it, I didn't want to have to shoot Reed. The other ending is just horrible.
@@Pdrum2I get what you’d are saying, but I chose to stick with So Mi till the end. Freed Reed from being caught in his own principles and sent So Mi to the moon to free her from the NUS.

@@Pdrum2 How can you free songbird without shooting reed ?
Idres Elba didn't get to star as the next James Bond, so CDPR went all out for Cyberpunk 2077 to make an awesome spy thriller for him to star and shine in!! Absolutely nailed it with this track (as well the rest of the soundtrack) it captures the spy thriller theme so well (with some obvious notes from classic James Bond themes). Phenomenal achievement on the music, the expansion and update as well!! It will stick with me for a while as well as this track looping over and over in my head ❤
I bet your ass Elba has wider audience now than he would as James Bond. The only difference is that he won't be dragged into morning show interviews because of this role. Not sure if that's a bad thing tho.
shaked me to tears again. I comment this frequently. This time I want to tell you that until video games started to tell storys in a quality like this, I was a big Fan of the James Bond movies and the title songs also because of the volume and gigantic scope of these songs. This one nails the essence of everything I´ve heard from every one of these movies in the last somewhat i guess sixty years? I just love it. This. The Game that I have played for more then a thousand hours. Everything that happens around it. I just love it and everyone who gave it to me. I also keep buying just that it will be bought often enough some day. Thank you

@@Astroblade5use your indoor voice
True. I booted up the game with all the dlc and thought this was the main story, skipped a little bit of songbird's nonsense cuz I thought she was minor character who I will get to get rid of in the future, I really liked reed but disliked somi for betraying. Also I betrayed so mi so I could use ice breaker. Started thinking that I should revert the choice when she started saying " u thought this would work *" but was super excited when it did work and had a long combat ( I really like that) I was playing on easy mode in my first run so I could people easily it felt really good and I killed all the people whenever there was a mission no stealth ofc. But after playing alien isolation with somi I felt the game was kinda short until I found out that it wasn't the game but dlc 💀
Now I don't want to play the main game anymore
This is the first time in a LONG while I've had a video game make me feel this morally and mentally conflicted over what felt right or not, last game to do that was spec-ops the line.
Props to everyone at CD:PR, this DLC was amazing
Me too the whole game make you choose and most time you realise the choice are not choosing between right or wrong but more between wich is the least evil of both especialy in phantom liberty where most gigs leave you a moral choice (the one with the Kids sold to sport clubs was especialy tought in the decision to take imo) cdpr really gave us an incredible game shame it started so badly but god how happy i am it turned out good now can't wait for the next one even if it will be in a while
Yeah and the thing is Spec Ops did it with a bit of a forced hand and a few twists that were practically warping of the 4th wall in on itself. Which is interesting and good and all that but, I do like that CPPL does it much more within the actual narrative.
Normal game also did this to me, but this DLC is just another level for some reason, maybe because it's not only about you in the end. But three other people as well
I'm not crying. You're crying.
I definitely do.
We crying.
No matter what your ending... you'll cry, we cry. 🥹
CDPR said I'd cry, I figured that I wouldn't at least until I'd played Phantom Liberty and gotten invested. But here I am misty eyed and I haven't even gotten to Dog Town yet. Good job Dawid. (Still working on the friendship quests before I start Dog Town. Almost finished though. Just two more for Judy and 3 more for Kerry. River, Panam, and Rogue are all done. I intentionally left Placide alive after our battle. I hope he tries to even the score, since prior to 2.0 he did nothing but send you a warning to watch your back.)
Just finished Phantom Liberty yesterday and when this rolled in, good gosh... I just sat there and thought about all the decisions I made and wondered if they were the right ones.
This DLC is one of the best I've ever had the pleasure experiencing.
This hits so hard as the credits because the final shot with V surrounded by everyone from all four sides as V crumbles to their knees - perfectly symbolises their despair of not knowing who to trust - but they have to choose anyway.
Yeah love this moment
Well dawid was right I did cry, what a beautiful expansion you guys have given us thank you so much CDPR 🖤
Anyone else back here for their 10th, 20th, etc listen? This is so good
Lost track of the number
It's in my music playlist, now.
when this played after finishing the final decision of the story in phantom liberty. holy shit.
The song gains so much more meaning after this
Which decision did you make?
@@nobleradical2158 I allied myself with Songbird until she confessed about lying to me just before she got to the rocket to the moon. When Sol was negotiating near the end, I actually stopped and thought about it for like 15 minutes, never had a decision so tough in a game before. And I decided to give her to Sol, I just couldn't see V going all she went through, risking her life for Songbird.
Absolutely astonishing credits, I had goosebumps from the story ending and this song magnified it by a thousand, you have outdone yourselves guys, absolutely epic piece of gaming history
Absolutely agreed
Finished just minutes ago. Great story and expansion. Great ending song as well. Nice timing to post it here just after I was done hearing it in the ending.
Exactly, lol! I also just finished it. I was trying to find the music that was in the end credits, but I was unable to find it. Then, suddenly, I saw a new video on the Cyberpunk official channel, and there I found it.
To teraz tylko Dawid pozostało wykonać utwór do najnowszego Bonda ;)
Bez kitu
o tym samym pomyslałem
Na Eurowizję zawsze jakiś syf dają, zamiast tak genialny utwór...
God, they turned this game around so hard with pl.
I knew as soon as I was sitting there watching these credits that phantom liberty was one of those campaigns I wish I could wipe my memory of and replay fresh again
It has a Bond intro feel to it. Interesting song, starts easy, then the orchestra kicks in... And to see Idris Elba in it (that years back was said to be the next James Bond) it has a double meaning. :) One way or the other - great stuff. :)
While I don't want him for Bond... I love that he got his own Spy Thriller, with a Bond vibe in the Cyberpunk 2077 world.. so sick. One of my fave actors, well deserved.
@@ReadyPlayerTomVR To be honest, I never was "Idris Elba for Bond" advocate... And now he's too old anyway. But as a good actor, he can be anyone... And if he wants to be an agent, he doesn't have to be named "Bond"... or Bourne... Or Smith. ;)
The important thing is to search for new, interesting stories... :)
@@mgiorew Couldn't agree more!
He'll be remembered better by a smaller audience as Solomon Reed than he would have in a probably not that good Bond movie.
Man I cried, in the base game ending, edgerunners ending and now Phantom Liberty aswell, im not a guy that goes emotional in movies or games but CDPR did something different with cyberpunk universe, atleast for me, I can feel V emotions, the urge to survive and everything that happens in the process of trying It. Congratulations for creating this game guys, for me It has the best storytelling from games ever, and this songs are extraordinary. Feels sad to see that we only gonna have another game in 5+ years
They gave us a fully immersive experience. We felt like we really lived V’s life, and we felt his emotions. Everything felt so real, more than any other game has ever done before.
@@pressrepeat2000fr, when they announced that wasnt gonna have a third person view I didn't knew how to react about it, but now I understand why and I am so grateful abt that choice by them
@@marceloaaps Yeah I hope next one is first person too, and as immersive. When you play third person it feels like your playing someone else… a doll. In this game, it truly felt like you were there. Not a single loading screen either, in the entire game, between gameplay and scripted scenes. A technical marvel for immersion. The writing was a lot of it, of course, as it was amazing, but the fact is they did everything to maximise immersion and the feeling of “you’re V”.
Phantom Liberty is the best gaming experience I have had this year and it is just weird with it being an expansion that has more heart put into it more than fully fledged releases...
starfield is better
