- Cyberpunk 2077 was always an amazing game even on release. Cyberpunk 2077 has gotten lots of hate for bugs and missing features so much so that many people forget about all the amazing moments and best moments in Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk 2077 music and characters like Judy, Panam, Viktor, Takemura, Jackie, Johnny Silverhand, and V. Cyberpunk 2077 defense of an amazing RPG or role playing game that is best RPG of all time and best video game music and best games ever. Cyberpunk 2077 is underrated and hated.

great video me
Thanks me
This made me laugh
@@eikon7073 haha glad you appreciated it 😂
Oh you guys
This game is a perfect example of gamer delusion and on release even on the ps4 was my favorite game of all time. I've played thousands of games.
The Suicide Ending was the second ending i did. The game ended and i had managed to hold back my tears, but when Judy's message came on I utterly lost it. It's horrifying to consider that first she loses Evie, and then V to suicide and then, as her message implies, maybe even her own life. God this game does not hold back on the emotional gut punches...
Same... it was hard seeing Vik get choked up, River talk about his partner at the NCPD, and Panam let loose her unbridled fury
Yeah, I loaded a save just to see what would happen if I chose that and damn. I wasn't expecting to be emotionally eviscerated by all these characters. Except Takamura. He's kind of a dick.
yeah.... I had only ever gotten teary-eyed playing Gears of War when a certain character died. The suicide ending in Cyberpunk hit even harder than that. I was in a trance afterward, didn't go on to the next ending or on my phone, I just spent the next hour really reflecting on what matters in my life, far beyond career goals, far beyond impacting the world... it really is about the people we share our lives with in this short journey. Thank you, CDPR... Truly.
As someone who had suicidal thoughts at a certain point, I should have know that choosing the suicide ending would hit me hard. I wasn't expecting that. I was already crying by the time I made the decision in-game, and it only poured more. Judy's message opened the floodgates of my eyes. This game is a very deep cautionary tale. Story-wise, I'd say the deepest I've ever played.
@@vitorleite8449 glad you are still with us :)
Judy's message during that ending always gets to me especially after all shes been though, just another slap in the face from Night City. Love her character and her voice acting, makes it hurt that much more.
such a great voice actor for sure
gives me chill every time
She's by far my favorite character in the game.
I did first the ALdecaldos ending, so it was a happy ending, but then i try this ending, and this was when i finally get it, i finally understood this game completely, the suicide ending is the most important of all, because it has a forth wall effect, it makes you see the consequences of suicide, this ending may even had helped people thinking in commiting suicide, to realize how devastating it would be for people who loved them, and turn them away from this path.
Seeing Judy cry, after all she's been through, is heartbreking, is even more heartbreaking if you play as female V and romance her, then she is completely decimated, you not only broke her heart, but may as well made her choose the same ending for her.
It is tragic, but again, seeing the consequences of this choice is devastating it will definetely broke your heart
That ending is BRUTAL. But I love that CDPR made it a possibility.
I love this game so much. I don’t think I’ll really ever stop playing it over and over.
I have 100s of hours
Keanu Reeve's performance as Johnny is SO. DAMN. GOOD! Real actors being put into the game tends to rub a lot of gamers the wrong way but it was done extremely well here. I think we have also finally reached the point where it is technically possible for a character model based on a real actor to fit in the game and not feel out of place.
-Johnny and v arguing at the edge of the blackwall
-v and panam getting out of nc for good
-Johnny being mad at the guitar boy for smoking
These moments had the most emotional impact for me. Believe me, there's a lot of heartwrenching and heartwarming moments in this game. No other game did this.
Yea man I actually felt distress and pain talking with Johnny at the Blackwall. Like I was betraying a good friend for choosing to live for a couple months.
This is spot on. The criticisms about this game (some of them) are valid. It's a bloated mess in some regards, but at the core - it has always been phenomenal and yea, magical.
Exactly, that’s what the video was all about really they made mistakes but there is something really great at its core, thanks for the support!
@@FranklyGaming I really dig your channel. Posted your list of 'must play games before you die' to my friends to see how many we've all played and that led to some interesting discussion and to me getting inscryption - which has been quite a ride.
@@Maxx__________ awesome to hear man Inscryption is a ride for sure lol
It's not just a mess. It's a mess of negative reviews expecting this game to be from other world. I understand that this game lacks some important stuff or stuff that should have been there because it's a modern game. It fixed a lot of issues and if you ignore some issues it's a great game.
It just feels like people shit on this game too much when it isn't that bad. No wonders people send death threats to creators...
The glitches took me out of that magical space almost every time I found myself there.
I’m not crying… my eyes are just sweating. Great video. I’ve always felt the same and consider CP2077 to be one of my favorite games despite the bugs. The story is everything. The ending videos seriously made me tear up.
Same
Just be honest, you have crap taste in stories
First time I fully played the game, I got the saddest ending I've seen. Johnny took over my body even when he didn't want to and all the video calls from every major person, all that made me actually cry. My second play through, I got the best ending. Left Night City with Judy, Panam and the Aldecaldos. I'd say Judy, Johnny, and Jackie were my absolute favorite characters.
The Triple Js
The first ending I got was the nomad ending so it is special to me johnny was my favorite character
When he bought the guitar I had a feeling of how I would like it to end, but I still was not ready. Adding to the emotional gut punch, I had somehow managed to not have seen Jackie's box at the Columbarium. I read that line (Good night, sweet prince) and was just wrecked. He told the kid "I didn't forget anything," and as the final messages played I literally could not get out of my chair. Only MASS EFFECT ever affected me this intensely, and if you'll forget the expression, not to the same depth of my soul . . .
I have liked a lot of video games in my life, but I feel cyberpunk is one of the very few I truly love. The game has stuck with me for almost 2 years now and never left my head. Did it have issues? Hell yeah it did, but I don't care about what it should have been I care about what it is. Great video
Thanks for much for watching! Cyberpunk really is a great game
It has that better call Saul/breaking bad/westworld/early game of thrones feeling for me. Where I can start over and be hooked again and again.
@@ncrxghost8075 Just like a great movie, you never get tired of watching it.
Idk I care both about what it should've/deserved to be as well as what it is. Love whats beneath it, hate what happened to it, but would love a sequel that does what this one couldn't, because the game aside I really like it's universe and the fact we're getting an anime is just fuel for me wanting more cp2077
Nicely said 👍👍👍
I really appreciate this. I’ve seen so many others talk negatively about Cyberpunk 2077 but I’ve always loved this game. Even with all it’s flaws, I continued playing & loved it. I hope they continue to make improvements because I believe it has great potential.
Thanks for supporting my channel!
hearing judy cry and hearing panam rage hearing vik unable to come to the truth and finally hearing mistys acceptance. there's not a single game I've ever played that has ripped my heart out as much as the suicide ending did
Haven't forgotten a thing. Never will.
Cyberpunk is the game that made me realize I need to stop listening reviews till I try it myself. If I like it that's all the matters to me
100% same for me too, thanks for watching choom
I couldn't have said it better myself!
My favourite game of all time, and that's no joke. Before this it was the original Final Fantasy VII. Johnny and V's changing relationship is one of the best parts of the game imo.
My favorite game too, so cool seeing other people love the game as well thanks for watching!
Same here! My all time favorite
Game was og ff7, and now cyberpunk 2077 is literally right next to ff7 in greatest games on my list.
what I'm going to say sounds weird, all my life I've been a fan of GTA but for some reason for me Cyberpunk2077 and GTA5 are vying for the same position in my heart, some people will say it's ridiculous to compare both games, but cyberpunk has something that makes me love it the same or even more than GTA5, maybe because I love everything related to science fiction and cyberpunk is a true jewel in that... NightCity is the map that I have liked the most of all video games.
@@jessicaguarin3897 I just love the cyberpunk genre. Cyberpunk 2077 is everything I wish Deus Ex was.
I never thought that a game set in a city full of violence, evil and the lust for replacing ones' body with chrome would be one of the more heartfelt games that teaches you about life
This video actually made me tear up. Cyberpunk 2077 simply has a feeling like no other game and it has imoacted me like no other ever did and probably never will. Loved every character, every mission, every location, every piece of soundtrack and every second of it. Even though it sounds overly dramatic, this masterpiece truly changed my life and it sickened me, how the internet talked about it on release. Luckily i didnt experience impacting bugs on release. Im happy that edgerunners is so popular because it is really good, but im also sad the game itself never did and i hope that can change in the future.
Glad you liked the video! And totally agree the game really is special
The game was a 5-6 at best upon release. The game is an 8 now. if they make the AI better, the driving physics better, tweak the combat just a bit, better police interactions and add more content...the game will be a 9 - 9.5. I think they can fix those. if not...the modding community will eventually fix it.
Same witch witcher 3 CDP don't make games only for gameplay they create a story that will make you wanting more but also leave you crying for better end
its currently the number 1 sold game on steam. So i guess it got its redemption after all
@@stevenfries7032 Different people want different things i guess. For me the game has always been 9/10 at least due to the amazing story. I just dont really care about police mechanics or NPC behavior that much.
This video. Exactly right. I loved it. It consumed my life from that december until june. I lost my dad during my play through. Janurary of 2021. It cemented it in my mind. The characters..the world. The interactions. The art. The music. I escaped into it. It didnt let me down. I tell everyone how they missed out. Maybe im a little biased. But it helped me through some tough times by letting me escape.
Indeed, there are flaws in the game which are valid and the ending were you just loop back before going in the Arasaka building.
But the game was awesome I was so immersed and just like you I went through a hard time, still do. But holy crap was the game epic when the ending came with Pam.
I .....i ......must consoooooommmm
Yall aint obsessed anymore?
Cheers mate. Hope you're better now.
😢
I've stuck with the game since the beginning. I bought it knowing how divisive it was, and ended up being thoroughly surprised. The story resonates so strongly with me. Each of its endings feel so emotional, my personal favorite of which being the nomad ending where you leave Night City with Panam and the Aldecaldos. I've been playing Cyberpunk through the worst, and the best. Truth be told, I can't think of a city more beautiful to me than Night City.
Same here choom, thanks for watching ❤️
@@FranklyGaming Anytime, choom.
I love this game so much, I can’t imagine how happy the devs feel right now
Video game industry has become a shallow fucking puddle. But this game fooled me, so hard. Never have felt like the characters I interact with would feel so familiar. The story is a shining diamond completely crippled by the messed up gameplay, and it’s okay. I love it.
CDPR has 4 class lawsuits against them. i'm sure they feel very happy right now. and this is not even the worse. go watch their video about the ESG embrace and read the comments.
@@SapiaNt0mata just watched that video, wow that's really sad to see, but at least the comments are good XD
They feel even happier now
I played Cyberpunk at release on Xbox One. But when I was done playing it for the first time I didn’t feel like I had played a game with flaws and bugs. All I felt the moment I put the controller down was sadness and joy. One of the best stories I experienced, not just in games, but in all of fiction. And that’s all I felt.
Damn, I literally just made this comment almost verbatim today, cheers buddy 🖤
One of my favorite memories in all my years of gaming were the time I stepped out for the first time in Night City and looked up, saw buildings touch the sky, connecting to one another, seeing the large living city stretch as far as I could see. At that moment, letting it sink in got my jaw to drop. The fact that we went from pictures and simple skyboxes in video games to what you see in cyberpunk was truly breathtaking. This game is one of the most immersive games ive ever played. Thank god I played it first on series x though lol
My favorite ending is storming Arasaka solo and then in Mikoshi, V goes on with Alt and Johnny keeps the body. That epilogue hit me way harder than I realized when I first saw it.
Ya honestly I think all the endings are super powerful in their own way, or just badass lol, thanks for watching!
A super solid choice. My personal favorite is leaving with the Aldecaldos, and watching V drop the necklace off the tank and go to live on his own terms with the time he has left.
@@RipDippler my favorite ending as well
@@RipDippler same for me, I stuck with panam and joined the aldecados as a street kid... I think that's where the background choice matters, because if I was already part of a family leaving with the aldecados wouldn't have felt as good of an ending
@@RipDippler for me too. Especially as a Nomad. You're coming from a Nomad life in a Family and leave it for the big city because you want more. And on your big journey to becoming a legend, you finally realize, what you left behind and how much more inportant family friends and freedom are.
Thank you for this video. I’ve loved cyberpunk since day one and even now with over 1000 hours on record, I still get blown away with just how much I’m able to connect to the world and characters. Driving through city centre at night is still one of my favourite things to do, simply to soak in the world. It’s nice to see the game finally getting the recognition it deserves.
Thanks for supporting the channel! I’ve loved the game since day 1
Yeah. It's wierd how them finishing the game made people play it.
Crazy.
How did you play this game for 1000 hours? I have done all endings and all sides quests in 110 hours. I have nothing else to do xD do you just run around and shoot stuff?
@@Deku20235 That and I just like replaying the story, plus reading every shard.
There is no happy ending in night city, it engulfs you and spits you out. A Shakespeare like tragedy written beautifully.
Highly unfortunate this game will never get the love it deserves. I often tell people that Cyberpunk has some of the best, most immersive side quests of any game. Period. And I always get a look of absurdity. The dreadful launch has soured the taste of so many people that they refuse to ever give this gem a chance.
Edit: Now that the anime is out and receiving praise, it may get people back on the game. So that's a good thing.
Ya it sucks that so many people will just listen to what others say and never try the game for themselves
As someone who bought it and 100%, I give you a look of absurdity. Not one side quest in the game stood out like the Witcher 3 side quests. Compare the witch of the swamps side quests, or the dead lover in the tower side quests from the Witcher 3 to this games and their is no comparison.
@@invaderjoshua6280 I can't really argue with you on this as I never finished Witcher 3. Put it down after roughly 30 hours. Really tried to love it but it wasn't for me.
@@FranklyGaming The game is not what it was planned to be. Simple. Not that great, just a destiny style looter shooter with a cliffhanger ending and a confusing release on last gen that got left behind because of greed.
@@invaderjoshua6280 Same, and in reality nothing of what you do throughout the game affects the endings or unlocks other missions. All the gigs consist in robbing or rescue someone and being awarded for stealth. It’s just an average game with good world design.
couldn’t agree more. been a fan of cyberpunk since its release 2 years ago. love your channel! it’s so refreshing to see someone as invested in this game as i am, haha
appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching!
I thought this game was dead but decided to give it another go since 1.6. What a transformation. I love this game now.
So awesome to hear glad you are loving it!
@@FranklyGaming 🤡🤡🤡
@@devilik3692 Go play CoD or something.
@@devilik3692 you're a clown. We get it.
@@mili-oh4481 lmao little cultist is mad his delusions were put to doubt 🤡🤣
I played the game for the first time in Winter 2021 with all the preconceived notions you’d expect based on initial reception.
When I finished my first playthrough, I just sat there for 10-15 minutes reflecting on the whole of what I’d just experienced. A lot of what’s stated here really resonated and is why this game will remain one of my favorites.
Awesome to hear you loved it too, thanks for watching choom
Cyberpunk was almost the greatest game ever created. But the launch ruined it. but its still a good game.
Agreed. All of my friends jumped on the hate-wagon and didn't play it until recently while I put in 250 hours right after launch. I couldn't put it down. The intro music got me pumped every time
my take on this game has and still is the same. it marketed itself as something more with lots on intricate things, hyping every single little detail. and then fall flat on its face upon release because none of those things promised is more than an ankle deep puddle.
objectively as a game, it is a decent or even very good game with good looking environment. but unfortunately due to the way they marketed it back then, its just simply not me and many others are expecting. some stuff even borderline false marketing.
and it being broken and buggy at launch just adding fuel to the fire.
in the aftermath, i think it is now in a much better state than it was at launch, yet im still sad that there's still so much wasted potential in this game. the parkour and verticality that hasnt really been explored, the details and immersive stuff that only happen in a scripted scene (drinking, smoking, etc) and not in the open world that couldve add so much life, etc.
This so much. If they hadn't just flat out lied so fricking much for marketing, the game would have been much better received.
pretty much this, the hype and expectation were stoked far higher than what the game could ever hope to deliver on. when it finally came out it was a disappointment, brought further down with the bugs. I don't remember people actually saying the game was terrible, but always things like "disappointing" and "missed opportunity". the only thing people actively called bad were the bugs and and the release.
Cyberpunk will always be one of my favourite games ever, such a powerful story, such a cool world to explore. Man I just love it.
There is a special place in my heart for cyberpunk
I watched this video on a random recommendation and you convinced me to try it out. You were 100% right. This games a masterpiece.
Appreciate the support! And glad you enjoyed!
I think the highlight of the game for me was the Samurai concert, as a metalhead myself it was like a dream come true being able to play and headbang in front of an audience. Hell I even started to make V headbang while the song was playing 🤣🤣
And I wont say it enough but the music and the radio stations in this game are absolutely excellent, weither you're fan of rock, metal, electro, rap, ... you'll find something that suits your tastes 🤘🏻
Music in this game is 10/10 for sure I love the concert scene too, thanks for supporting what I do!
I used to play live shows a lot with old bands, and this brought back all those feelings again. Was super super stoked.
Yeah, I'm so glad they hired real musicians to fill out the radio with custom songs instead of licensing songs I've heard a million times already.
Exactly the same. My V always moshes around the stage, I rock out with Denny and the bassist. It feel good, man.
@@steveharrison76 same here, it bring memories from my own rockerboy times...
63-year-old man here, on my first (of several) play throughs the ending really drained me. I sat and stared at the screen and watched the credits roll and then the "cast" came on and talked to me. It was very powerful, well done indeed. I have close to 2K hours playing the game, I play it different on each play through, so it stays new each time.
It really is such a great game, thanks for watching and supporting my channel Brian
2k hours? Now thats a guy who loves a game
You guys are absolute legends! Much respect!
That end with Judy is so much more heartbreaking after finishing her story 😭
Bruh that ending got me real bad. I stated crying.
Man, this call from Judy at the end... Her voice actress just destroyed it. She definitely was remembering something from her past when she recorded it. Shit was too real.
Honestly the voice actors in this game are sooo good
@@FranklyGaming definitely
All I could think was "don't you make Judy cry you piece of crap!"
Yup. As someone ho has had to leave those messages for friends before, seeing that fucking hurt. I'm glad I could watch it on TH-cam rather than get it in the game, so there is a sense of detachment lol
Guys, her last mission... After first playthrough I just looped the Radiohead song and took a really long shower to wash away all that sadness. Or Mr&Mrs Peralez. Or River's mission tree. Or broadcasted religion-based... Uncomparable to any other shallow videogame experience.
I've played hundreds of games in my life and it takes a lot for me to feel something, but Cyberpunk just hits different. Best game I've played in at least a decade, it's a shame so many will miss this masterpiece.
The ones who are too stubborn to want to try it out don't deserve such a masterpiece. If public critique is all they need to demotivate then into playing the game, they sure as hell won't be able to see its true beauty.
Agreed. I'm not very impressionable but Cyberpunk's story stirred something deep and raw in my (mostly) cold heart. And if a story manages to do that, it deserves my appreciation and respect.
@@FoxYinnyy just hit the nail right on the head with this comment
Played it, thought it was shit and still is.
"liking" this game was always a way of denial for what it truly is.
A mess. Not because of the bugs but because it's not a real game besides the few storylines it provides.
@@FoxYinnyy Most people who call the game shite have played it lol.. You know how much this game sold & how many people played it right, nobody 'missed' this masterpiece. It was so bad a greedy company like sony legit offered people refunds. Most of the bad reviews come from people who DID play it, we all played it, we all thought it sucked. Just because there are some people in the world who have an impulse to eat plaster board doesn't mean the rest of the world is missing out from not eating it.
The only ending that doesn't leave me feeling empty is the one where you with the Aldecados. That's the only one that feels like V learns the main lesson of the story before it's too late.
This games story endings made me cry. Something I rarely ever get to experience, especially when it comes to a story. Not because I’m “tough” but because a lot of things in this world seem empty. But this game was far from empty and one of the most thought provoking and asks questions and statements to you that really pull on everyone’s sense of life.
everytime i watch you talk about cyberpunk, I always want to start a new playthrough right after
Appreciate the support as always ❤️
I have to agree. I played through all the endings (except for the special one where you can storm Arasaka solo). My first ending was when I became the big shot of night city, slowly dying, Judy leaving me. I was on top of the world, got everything I ever wanted...yet felt so alone. I thought, "What was the point? Was it really worth it?" The ending going off with the Aldecaldos and Judy joining me and a sense of hope felt perfect for me. That's what mattered were the characters I cared for. I agree that they underdelivered what they promised and there were weaknesses in the game. However, they totally delivered on the most important aspect of a game to me, and that's its story and that of the main side characters. As of now, this is my 2nd favorite game of all time, because of its story, behind The Witcher 3. I'm on my 3rd playthrough. Something about Night City keeps bringing me back. I love just driving around from place to place. The city design is amazing, the feel, the look of it. Other games with great stories that I've played include Dragon Age Origins, A Plague Tale Innocence, Hellblade and Bioshock Infinite. I don't care what anyone says, Cyberpunk is a great game.
Do play the solo ending, it’s so thrilling.
(But aldecados + Judy ending was the best)
@@HannahFortalezza Need to get my armor better before I try this next playthrough. First time I tried my build wasn't the best.
Man thank you for saying what I've been thinking about this game since it came out. I really wish people would stop being so harsh on it.
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed
Can you believe that this video was uploaded literally **A day** before Edgerunner got released?
Man spoke nothing but the truth for 10 minutes
❤️
Not really
🤡🤡🤡 TrUtH , when you are delusional sheep only hear what you want
I've been saying how much I love this game, to the point that it is in my top 3. Now, after watching your video, I finally have a solidified position for this game. Having put more hours into this than I ever have any other game, having bought it for my PC and for my PS5/4, having even dedicated time to explore as much of the lore as I possibly can, Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most enjoyable and impactful games I have ever played. That is why it arguably has taken the #1 spot on the list of my favorite games.
Thank you so much for the hard work, effort, ans professionalism that you have put into this video. More importantly, TO ME, thanks for genuinely giving Cyberpunk 2077 an honest chance.
When it came out in 2020, I binged the entire story in the first week, on an original Ps4. The story of this game reached me to a point that not only is it my favourite game (sharing a dual spot with RDR2) but it is also one of the most special experiences I've had in gaming/media. Thank you for making this video. It means more than I can say.
Just found your content and I'm loving it. Simply great video man
I went into this game with very little expectations due to what everyone said about it, so I went in thinking this was going to be an odd experience. Then I got to the heist and that’s when I knew this game was gonna be something special. I feel in love with the characters and the world of night city, I was captivated by practically every moment within the game. I literally went back and replayed the game just due to how much I loved it. This game also brought me to dark places that I was terrified of experiencing, and hearing v talk about the things I also truly feel really made me feel like I was apart of this journey. This game will always be special to me.
So cool seeing other people find the game special too, thanks for watching choom
@@FranklyGaming no problem choom!
Great video, i couldnt agree more! i bought cyberpunk on launch and went into it looking to fully immerse myself in night city... i did every side quest and engaged in every conversation i could find... i didnt even use fast travel, drove everywhere on my bike. for the month i spent playing over 100 hours of it i felt like i 'lived' in the game world, thanks to its characters and gorgeous design. The feeling of cruising through night city on my way to visit Judy or Kenny or almost any of the fantastic characters while your favourite song off the station plays and the rain pours has stuck with me for 2 years. I always felt sorry for all the gamers getting swept up in the hate hype train, they were missing out on something truly incredible
been looking for a video exactly like this on not exploring the gameplay and the past of the game but it’s true beauty.
Playing through Kerry's quest was one of the highlights of my life in regards to gaming
I never hated cyberpunk when it came out cus honestly it really made me think about a lot of my decisions and what I actually wanted to happen to these characters cus I genuinely cared about them
In my opinion cyberpunk 2077 is goated
So many great quests in the game, thanks for watching!
I did that quest when I didn't have much left in the game to do, and it was a peaceful goodbye to all the characters that marked me in that awesome journey, it felt really special, while i did one final trip on Jonny's porche through the city with the radio on, i realized this game was so amazing, and also felt really sad that my journey was ending. I decided to do the suicide quest where you go to Arasaka Tower, to end it all with a bang, but it wasn't the end, i survived, and at the end, i gave my body to Silverhand, i think he deserves a second chance, and honestly, that ending was the best one I could've asked for, while the last song plays in the credits, I cried so much.. I will always remember this game, it was an amazing experience
Thanks for making this video.u are not alone.i'm still playing cyberpunk on my slim ps4 since release,so imagine how much i care abuot performance, bugs and graphics.this game is an experience,one of the best ones i had from a videogame.u are right,no comeback is needed,it was allways a masterpiece to me.whatever the internet is saying,whatever the trend or some influencer was joking about,just look for the truth by urself.i won't be able to play dlc but when i upgrade my pc or buy a next gen console i alreagy know what game i'm gonna buy again,is that simple
Glad to know other people always loved it too, thanks for supporting my channel!
OMG!, you just summarized what I've had in my head and how I felt towards the game since day 1. Thanks for creating this video :)
I mean it's been ages since I played a game where I literally cared about the characters especially Judy. That underwater moment is wholesome!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
You had to include the video clips from that ending didn't you. I'm in tears all over again. The characters and story in this game always have me coming back, loving every minute of it, inspired by every minute of it (literally, at least 2 of the albums I've put out are inspired by this game). I can't stress how much I love it, and I just feel bad for those who never gave it a chance. People always try to drag me into the bug/technical issue debate (often people who never played it and are relying on stuff they've heard) and honestly I didn't find that many issues. Do I have a handful of screenshots of random T-Posing, a car clipping slightly, or something not rezzing... yes but a rare few despite more than 200 hours played (on a PC that is near the min required). They were few, they weren't game breaking, and it rarely took me out of the story, which was absolutely phenomenal, in a setting that is gorgeous, and with characters I really came to love
I think that ending is actually super interesting to see all of the character's reactions to your suicide. Especially how Johnny is comforting .
@@phightme5407 It really is. I honestly do love that ending and all the messages that you get, but it is heart breaking. Its a topic that's pretty close to me, and the varied responses, the ranges of emotions it stirs up from the various characters (or even for a single character) is absolutely, devastatingly real. I love that it exists but yeah it hits me really hard each time I see it. Its interesting to see some of the other replies to this and people so detached from the emotion behind it but art doesn't hit everyone the same way so... not surprised
This game helped me cope with a really hard moment in my life and for that it will always hold a special place in my heart
This game actually did make me reconsider my own life, like what’s skills do I want to get good at, what meaning do I choose for myself and what path will I be happiest with taking when it come time to reflect at the end of my own journey
That ending was the most heartbreaking thing I've seen in a really long time.
the best mission in Cyberpunk is making V play the guitar for Jhonny's old band. I always knew this game was special, even with its bugs
I’ve been playing games for decades I haven’t played a solo player game since gta V way back when it came out this one had me intrigued after watching it on Netflix an forgetting all about the crap I heard about another solo player game. I went played it with fresh mind running thru missions an found my story ending extremely quickly with a suicide the first time around. I thought I had to just finish the main missions an was pretty bummed out about my ending. So I started up a fresh character did all the side quest I could while keep the main missions for last hitting level 50 before the last mission an loved the ending I got your last scene becomes your own depending on how much time you put in the game, because of this game I’m opened minded on playing solo player games again but my bar of what to expect is raised so much higher now. Great video. I understand where your coming from.
I pre purchased this game, played it on 2020… saw it had bugs, so I left it for some months. Came back in mid 2021, installed it again along with some mods, and it was brilliant. Had to uninstall it for other reasons. Then in February of this year I installed it once more, and I finally beat it. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I never felt like suffering playing it, the things which the game has itself work really well, the city, characters, colors, style, cars, rpg elements. There's a lot of things I would have loved to see and they are not there, but I still think it's a piece of art
I picked Panam and I don't want to choose other end then that. It feels fulfilling to see V not letting go who around him and the message for him.
Dang frank putting out another banger video. Crazy to see you doing so successfully on yt when half a year ago I would see you streaming to around 3-4 people 🤩
That judy message at the end actually literally physically broke me.
I dont think i have played or will play another game that is so unique as this one.
for me it was the panam message and the talk at the black wall. shit im still emotional, no game has shaken me to my core so thoroughly.
I was truly invested in this game’s story and have always loved the cyberpunk aesthetic
What an amazing video, I'm happy that more people is realizing how great this game is, I preordered and loved the game back on the day and now, I know a lot of people was angry for the release, but the core of this game is amazing.
Thanks for the support choom!
🤡🤡🤡 little simps still delusional
I couldn't tell back in 2020 when the the opening chase scene consisted of my hand and gun stretching into Jackie's head and ending with me stepping out of my car, falling through the map and my game crushing on release day
Knowing nothing about the world of Cyberpunk, only knowing about the launch and the Edgerunners show, I went into the game with almost no expectations, made my Nomad V, and took the Bakkers family patch off, like I was taking my bias away from my gaming experience.
My bias came back when I realized Night City is just an exaggerated version of the big cities in the USA, and the people that live there felt like real humans with lives of their own, not NPC’s designed to move the plot along or to give me a side gig.
There were some characters I loved, some I became friendly with, some I had a neutral opinion on, some I had disagreements with but still respected them, and some I straight-up hated like Oswald Forrest aka Woodman, Jeremiah Grayson, and Yorinobu.
About 44 hours into the game and I’m still not even close to done. Underrated masterpiece is a huge understatement.
Cyberpunk is one of those games i'll always come back to. My only complaint is the fact that we will only get one expasion. I love the almost evrything about the game and i wish more people would give it a chance.
Let me preface this by saying I've enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077 immensely, and did not encounter the many bugs and glitches that most people have, playing it on a beast PC with raytracing, and never watched any of the trailers past the first two. Therefore I did not feel cheated out of the features that were promised but never delivered by CDPR.
I'm a fan of the story, but you kind of have to admit that the story isn't finished. There are many moments that show huge potential - the whole intro with Jackie and Dexter, trauma team, the crazy MaxTac - that were cut almost entirely from the game after having a brief scripted encounter. Doing missions for corporations, or being a fixer - all of these awesome opportunities for engaging story-rich content and quests were reduced to one mission (Meredith), and simple "walk there, shoot dudes" quests.
While I think the endings are good (especially the suicide ending, holy shit, that hit me in the feels), I personally wish they'd spent more time developing V as a character before Johnny starts to live in his head rent-free. Another 20 hours of story content pre-Johnny would have done this game wonders.
Oh for sure I think there is things that could be expanded on definitely I guess I Just feel the moments that are there are so powerful, for example the Jackie moment wasn’t powerful for me personally but the scenes with panam, judy, and Johnny very much were. Also thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment
20 hours pre-Johnny... It's entire game, dude.
I dont think this is necessarily a bad take but I think it's unreasonable to expect. A movie doesn't start before the action. Neither does a book. In fact when you learn writing as an art you'll hear two tips repeated: write what you know, and start at the beginning. Sounds simple but these are expanded on when you study.
A story starting from the beginning is explained as being the start of the plot. You dont start a story to build context for 20hrs (an entire game in itself) before getting to your story.
The story is about V and Johnny. It'd about their relationship and the way they help each other deal with death. The themes are about the soul and coming to terms with death. Every story beat, every character, is in service to this.
20hrs of getting to know someone is just avoiding the theme. I know it's hard to watch them go too soon, but that's the point. They made all the right choices and the impact hits hard as a result. That's why people keep saying stuff like this video. It's not meant to be a universe you live in forever. It's not an escape from your life you can play for the rest of your time. It's a story and it starts exactly where it should and ends exactly where it should. That feeling of wanting more is part of that theme of coming to terms with death.
Hard disagree saying all the missions are "walk there, shoot dudes." Many missions, big and small, you can talk or sneak your way through without even drawing a weapon. There's WAY more player freedom than any open world RPG out today and the game doesn't get enough credit for that. The level design is superb and only makes the gameplay freedom standout more.
@@mandu6665 This 100%, I thought the same. I've played the game four times already and I never approach missions the same way and I know each of them very well. I mean every single gig and side mission is different and you decide your own path. There is literally only one mission type that is go there and shoot someone and they're specifically described as Gun For Hire. And even those you don't have to actually Gun them down.
This should also take into account how scanner hustles reference the people from the gigs and the gigs build context for the side missions which give context for the main missions. Everything you do in this game reveals layers to its world and story and I've never played a game that treats their xontent this way.
And I'm a pretty hardcore gamer. I played Doom as my first video game when I was three. I've played consoles and PC since the early 90s and like all sorts of games. I also went to college for writing for entertainment. I legit studied the writing of games and this game is a masterclass. You can already find videos online breaking down how this game's writing is a lesson for others.
Bro just took it so personal and that was beautiful 💀
Knowing we are getting a sequel for cyberpunk is such a good feeling.
I loved the game and had thousands of hours of playtime. The the quiet moments, the giddy violence, the unmistakable distain the creators have for the bad actors in the real world, the real world literature on shards littered around the game world truly makes a magical experience. Thanks for defending the game, because somebody ought to!
Thanks for the kind words and support! ❤️
I just love how you speak out of my souls, all my thoughts I always had about the way people treated this game. Thank you so much for saying what so many thought
Thanks for supporting what I do choom ❤️
Cyberpunk was always bad: it's just less bad now.
THIS! all of this, thanks for the video
Good vid bro
Thanks for the support Jose ❤️
I haven't had Cyberpunk in my head for a year or so now, I played through it after release on PC and never had the problems a lot of people had. But watching this video made me realize how this game really touched me, I can recall so much about the story, the side missions and especially the characters (oh the characters). This game unconsciously made me think about a lot of what I value in life and why and what is important to me and what should be. Thank you for putting it into words, I think I'm gonna play Cyberpunk now.
Glad to hear I could rekindle those memories! Thanks for supporting me
What I love about this game is that it can really show you what kind of person you really are (if you're paying attention). Should you kill the man who did a bad thing, but now he's begging for his life? As you're walking down the street, you see a pimp beating up a ho and you COULD just walk by... or you can do something about it. Sometimes you'll be face to face with people who probably SHOULD die, but maybe you work out a different method. Every quest has a dozen possible endings.
I’m on my second run of the game right now and your video on this game was amazing it’s probably my favorite game of the last couple years just story alone. Awesome vid man
Really appreciate that thanks for watching!
Always has been. Great video. Glad I found your channel, keep it up.
Thank you so much!
To me the story is great top to bottom. Form the basic and emotional side like you talk about, to the very complex and hard to decipher, this story and world are gripping.
I reckon this is first time I see one of them videos from your team, and as someone who just started playing CyberPunk now at 1.61 after it finally went on sale, I am amased by the depth of the world building and subtle interaction they had put in. And how huge and detailed the world is. How you find little details even in random places on map, not marked by any specific marker, but still have a little story or tragedy unfolding there. I don't know if the game was truly unplayable on PC at launch, I can tell you even at 3070 it can run sluggish with RTX on, BUT there is absolutely zero wrong with any of the stories and world building with it. At least so far as far as I can see. Appreciate your video.
This game is one of the best experiences I ever had with a game, for the exact reasons you said in the video, when I finished the first time, I died during the Secret Ending, and the calls are very similar to that of the suicide ending, and it hit me like a truck, at the end I was crying and I realized that for the first time an ending of a game really had an impact on me, it was not just some moment of feeling good for another challenge beat. At that moment I really wanted to go back and finish the Secret Ending victorious, not because of the different ending, but because I wanted a different end for that story, an ending were those "friends" would not "suffer".
And as someone who has being through suicide attempts, it made me reflect more of the people we leave behind when we take that step, and the suffering we cause to those that love us.
I would never expect that a game would make me reflect that way in the end.
Cyberpunk's story doesn't work with the game itself.
V is on the clock, has limited time to live and has to find a way to save him/herself. Yet...
V has time to do pointless side gigs and missions on the side...
There was an easy fix for this issue though.
Make an actual timer, like in Fallout 1, and let us lengthen our time, by using the eddies from side gigs to buy more pills.
V has six months to live. I highly doubt you spent six months in-game time doing everything. It probably totals to about a few weeks with a 100% completion.
Damn straight, choom.
Thanks for supporting what I do!
Favorite tabletop, favorite game, and now favorite anime.
Honestly Cyberpunk is at its heart one of the best settings out there, because of what it's about at its core. Not many stories leave you with genuinely bittersweet endings or existential dread so personal and visceral.
great video, catharsis wasnt expected
I played cyberpunk on day one patch. The game was fantastic and beautiful, far from flawless but beautiful none the less. Just finished Phantom Liberty and have 500 hours in the game now, the game turned its 7.5/10 flawed but great game into a 10/10 near perfect masterpiece. The game was always good hell it was always great even but it was made even better. After having finished Phantom Liberty I can say confidently this is my favorite game ever made and maybe my favorite fictional world.
I 100% agree with everything you’ve said. I tried it a week ago (as of writing this.) I was very skeptical - I knew the game was “fixed” in terms of bugs but I’d still heard mixed things about the game itself. But I saw what the 1.6 patch added, so I gave it a try, because it’s got a 5 hour trial on PS+. Man, I am so glad I tried it. As soon as the trial ended, I bought it without any second thoughts. Cyberpunk 2077 is flawed, but in my 35 hours so far, I’ve completely ignored those flaws. They didn’t mat
Tee to me, because I fell in love with the presentation, atmosphere, and most importantly, story and characters. The people in the story all feel so real, with their own hopes and dreams, friends and enemies. The gunfights and car chases and set pieces may be a spectacle, but eventually the adrenaline fades away, and you’re left with the quiet moments in between the action. Talking with someone about what you’ve lost and what you want to do in your life, attending to a funeral for a lost friend, helping someone overcome their trauma, and so on. That is what I think truly makes the game so special - the interactions with the characters. Some of the side quests don’t even give you any “rewards.” Instead, the reward is a nice conversation with someone. I haven’t played anything else quite like it in that regard.
So awesome to hear you are loving it thanks for watching choom!
Really great vid! I really can sympathize with you on this. It definately made me feel the same. Especially that ending with all the Chooms calling you and leaving messages.
Man the Evelynn parker questline still haunts me
I'm happy this game is getting the recognition it deserves and is making a sort of comeback, if you see past all the politics of what happened it is a truly revalation of your own mind and how you perseve your pursuits money and glory and reflect why you are chasing material things like that in the first place. When all along all most of us really are striving for is that familiarity, that belonging, a place to call home with people that we truly care about and that care about you. Another great video man, keep it up with the top notch content 👏
The first time i beat this game i got the ending where (Spoilers) you go to space to get treatment. when i made the decision i truly thought i had won. Johnny would get to pass away (even though i wanted so much to keep him with me because of how close we'd become), and i would be cured, and go back home. I thought i played the system, had the preverbal cake and got to eat it too, but, slowly and methodically i watched as everything i had accomplished in the 70 hours i spent with the game get undone piece by piece. V and i experienced the same maddening regret as CP2077 forced us to sit in a bed for months on end watching as we and all our accomplishments became nothing more than stats on a corpo spreadsheet. and by the time we got out of clinic listening to the phone calls of our friends either denouncing us or leaving us we went back to night city more alone than ever before, and i felt sick to my stomach, and i cried as the credits rolled (that was the second time i had ever cried because of a video game). the shock of realizing that this game was going to teach you its lesson one way or another was such a wake up call for me, because while i had enjoyed my time in NC i realized i wasn't paying attention and from then on i have had so much more appreciation for any media or art i experience.
V seemed to spend forever looking for a life worth living so much so that she went to Atlanta to find it. Its ironic poetry that she found what was worth living for as she slowly died when the chip was put in.
cyberpunk was a game that showed what perspective really is and how if one likes a game cause of one mechaniac and another game they play doesnt have it they will say its no good
I have defended this game since day one. There has yet to be a game that touches me like this game.
Everytime something new gets announced, I the tingles of anticipation. An instant blast of endorphins that makes me feel happy just because there will be more of Cyberpunk.
I still vividly remember where I was 9-10 years ago when this game was first announced with a 48 second trailer. I was hooked right away. Everytime something new came out to tease the game, the giddyness of excitement crept up.
I bought a PS5 just to play this game. Maybe my love for a video game is unhealthy and maybe this isn't the game we were truly promised, but Cyberpunk is one hell of a game and it should have set the industry on fire.
This is a long comment now so if anyone read thank you. I'll end with this, Cyberpunk was never bad. The real shame is that because people thought it was bad the sequel might be totally different and I really hope that's not the case.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment man, cyberpunk really is a special game
Me who got it when it came out and didn’t experience any major issues
"to see the good in it all too" and you sounded like Keanu Reeves when you said that
As a huge fan of the Mass Effect trilogy myself, the experiences I went through playing Cyberpunk 2077 were too damn close to my heart.
And you have put it together perfectly, literally taking words from my mouth. It is a dark, a grimmy feeling & the Edgerunners anime further explorers this concept of CP2077 which was overshadowed by gamers who just thought of it as a plain FPS RPG game.
My first playthrough was 600 hours long, every bit of the world, the interconnected and parallel stories, the nightmare and the dream that is Night City itself. CP2078 will always be special to me just like Mass Effect has been for over a decade.
In the end, Thanks for this video and keep doing the good work ✌️
