This game became my favorite game of all time after my first playthrough, at launch, on an Xbox One. Maybe I was lucky, I did experience bugs just not many. I found the gameplay a bit clunky, but fun. What really grabbed me was the story and characters. I was completely immersed in the experience and by the time I finished it I was in awe. Then I tried it again after Edgerunners. Once again it provided one of the best experiences of gaming that I've ever had. This time I went with a different ending and this was the first time in my life that I felt like I had the perfect playthrough. I did the build that suited me the best, I made the best choices for my story, I had the best ending going from a corpo screwed over and obsessed with their rep to a nomad ready to move on from the birdcage that is Night City. It's the first game I've ever 100% and I can't wait to do it all again with 2.0 and Phantom Liberty.
I played it on Xbox one.... regular Xbox one and had few bugs....it was great then and is great now. I think 90 percent of the people never played it, they just jumped on the hate train....lucky I don't listen to others ans I judge things for myself. One of the best games I ever played....now everyone else is getting on board and realizing what I've known for years . That it's a great game. I told everyone that.
I was legit brought to tears when the credits rolled for the first time for me in Cyberpunk 2077. I have never cried at a video game’s ending before Cyberpunk.
As someone who grew up around a lot of violence, I lost two of the people closest to me. Playing Cyberpunk was the first time a piece of media pulled emotions out of me that I had forgotten about 15, 20 years ago. Judy's questline especially hit really hard. The world might be fiction, but it's crafted, written, and paced in such a way that just feels so true to life, it's beyond uncanny - you just get lost in it.
I agree with every word here. I’m currently on my 8th play through and even though I know what’s coming I’m not bored. About to reach the point where I can start Phantom Liberty, so I’m very excited to experience it.
That is the reason why I love cyberpunk so much one of my favorite top games because how it made me feel the story. The characters, the heartbreak, the sadness, the happiness all of that amazing story This is the reason why Cyberpunk is one of my favorite games. Im a campaign story gamer through-and-through.
The game was fixed and rocking over a year ago. 2.0 is icing. The music score alone is a masterpiece of emotional ambience realizing that world even fuller than Blade Runner (Blade Runner only had 2 hrs remember and concentrated on the melancholy) Cyberpunk fleshed out the street pop, the heavy thrash, the techno futurist, the bubblegum electro-pop, all the action scores and still had time for down to earth campfire songs ...are you kidding me what did you want for $40.
I’ve watched social media unite the downtrodden and victims of crime and become one of the greatest forces for good I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen it become a sewer of profanity and disrespect and while I wouldn’t take social media away if I had the power to, the biggest reason I WOULD have for destroying it is that nothing has been a better conduit for spreading group-think. I’ve watched hundreds of thousands of people adopt poorly formed opinions in a gigantic wave over and over and it’s sadder to me than any swearing and sadder than death threats over game delays. It reminds me that there are huge amounts of dim-witted people, herds of them thousands-strong right amongst all the beautiful and strange and wonderful people. A beige stain on humanity. So I like to hear someone speaking passionately and almost poetically about having a different perspective on a game that was surrounded by the moos of herds of easily-led group thinkers that is about a fictional dystopia that was enabled by humanity being made up of herds of easily-led group thinkers. Great work👍
I was teary when I finished Cyberpunk. I find that future very plausible - a world of advanced tech But human despair. I'm taking a break from it before I can get to Liberty City. This is the game that properly got me back into gaming
I think this is a great video. The best games aren't the one's with the most advanced tech or the coolest features but the ones that stick in our hearts showing us what it truly means to be human, which is the people around us.
I saved it until patch 2.0 and it’s one of the best decisions of my life I’m tryna to take it slow but literally blasting through the game side content included because of how hooked it has me. I’m genuinely doing everything in my power to avoid finishing it because I know how empty I’ll feel after bro what a masterpiece.
No BS, I don't think I've ever played a game that made me so emotional or gave me pause more than two or three times. Cyberpunk 2077, Phantom Liberty and Edgerunners left a huge impression on me. One of the best games ever made, and I'm very thankful CDPR didn't give up on it, put in the work and gave us something truly special.
The game worked for me day one and I fell in love with it. So it was a unique feeling of depression knowing people were hating on it and that it was deserved. I’m very happy they were able to fix what was broken and than some.
Beautifully said. Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most human experiences you can feel in a game that I have ever played. A true work of art. 10/10. Masterpiece. A greatest of all time video game.
900 hours of playing Cyberpunk, and it's always different for me. It's also nice to know the creator of this world, MP! :) Getting to talk about the setting is awesome and pen and paper if you have a good GM is pretty epic as well. But I must say I find myself cruising around listening to music in game, or just walking around looking for a perfect vista for my photo collection.
Awesome video, this is my favorite game ever after beating it in 2.0 after stopping till 1.6 and started PL, just passed chimera, but I remember at launch feeling it was special, the city, characters, atmosphere, density, colors, contrast, stories all around, living night city is specially unique, its a higher level no other game yet got close, I would like to see aquatic and flying vehicles and a big multiplayer mode but we can't forget its the first game, the Witcher took 3 games to be great, cant wait for whats next for cyberpunk franchise and cdprojekt red new ip
At launch I bought on PC. My PC was a monster and I had really no issues playing it. Logged 500+ hours and loved the game. Love it even more in its 2.0 version and PL. Can't wait to preorder the sequel.
I love the story in cyberpunk. However the moment i fell in love was when i couldnt get a car in the game and had to walk for a little bit, i forgot which district i was in, but as i was walking, i looked at the world around me and the buildings in the game, how dense and massive it was, how there were details everywhere, and at that point i stopped playing the story and spent the whole day just walking around, immersing myself in this extremely underrated world. Its a godsend game.
been playing this game nonstop since 2.0 and PL dropped. easily one of my favorite gaming experiences this year, maybe ever. last time a game made me feel this way was probably part 1 of the last of us
damn, the emotional aspects of the game get to me deeply. i wish i could get some love back to the devs who inspired this in the characters and story. not all will understand this, but this game is masterpiece and will change future games forever, like it did change me
What Cyberpunk 2077 needed, was a state of polish which allowed the great writing, atmosphere and art direction to really shine and come together as an immersive whole, which doesn't constantly kick the player out of immersion with jank, frustrating bugs and poorly implemented features. And with 2.0 update, it finally got what it deserved. It now finally feels like a complete, fully realized work of art. Although there' still a bit of jank and bugs apparent here and there. But everything that really matters for a game like this is finally rock solid. it just works. And the immersive narrative journey is finally smooth, so one can fully focus on the mature experience and impactful impressions.
The first mission sequence of phantom liberty is better than any other games i can remember probably since red dead 2 .its crap it launched bad but it is a whole vibe now ,brilliant game .
Completed this game 3 times now and gone back to saves to see all possible endings. With the release of Phantom Liberty and BG3 I have experienced some of the best gaming experiences in my life and I have been playing games since Pong on a Atari in the late 70s! My sense of euphoria for current day gaming is however tempered by that soulless drivel Starfield that I had such high hopes for. None the less, a fantastic year for gaming.
The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 are my number-one games. The way I know is because the world feels real. I miss the characters, I feel loss that it has ended and I miss talking to my friends in the game. I played on PC and never had any of the issues others had so I got to see it all without the problems. 649 hours played and I'm going to go back again to try and play it differently again and lose myself in it again.
Only game I pre-order without regret. Pre-order day one, played on release with minimal to no bugs (but wanted quality of life updates). Finished with multiple play through, endings choices, male/female V... Watched Edgerunners and broke down, played Cyberpunk 2077 again and cried, felt relieved.... Now with Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty 2.0.... With more endings and content.... I am so happy this update came out, more quality of life updates and, I get to play more and can't wait for Project Orion releases.
That suicide ending was the first ending I chose. I felt it was probably the best way to go, a little disappointed I didn't get an ending achievement. But probably one of the more wholesome endings.
Im glad I wasnt the only one who appreciated the slower moments. I get that "the real treasure was the friends we made along the way" is a cliche but CDPR has a talent for being subtle with their writing which is rare especially in video game stories, when the credits rolled on my first endingband I recieved those voice mails from my friends I knew then and there what the words "secure your soul" truly meant, it wasnt about being immortal in the world, it was about being immortal in the memories of your friends and family, something Arasaka or any other corp couldnt possibly offer, but really it depends up to the player to know what they truly got out of the game because the game has a lot going on for itself for better or worse. One thing's for sure no other game dev has put in such care and detail into a game like cyberpunk, it reallly goes to show CDPR's love and respect towards making something beautiful and reminding us that video games arent just a product but also a form of Art.
"Loving it for what it is instead of hating it for what it isn't", amen to that. I completed and got all achievements for this game back in early 2023, without knowing about Phantom Liberty being a thing. The game was gorgeous from the get go. Phantom Liberty helped? Sure, but the was was awesome before that.
This game is *chefs kiss*. When people ask me my favorite game(s) off the rip its always been Mass Effect/ Dragon Age/ DMC/ Fallout NV. Cyberpunk has not joined the ranks and heavily sits closer to the top
Only a minute in and I'm so glad to see someone else say it. I finished this game with bugs, 8 crashes, and terrible frame rate issues on my Xbox One X but despite all that I absolutely loved the characters and stories and finished it in less than a week. It is pretty amazing to see the huge resurgence and shift of general opinion on this game, but the number of Phantom Liberty reviews stating things like "the game is finally fixed" or "finally looks like the game that was promised" are just such shallow statements and clearly show the person wasn't a fan of the game or hadn't played it much at all.
This game is a masterpiece in a long time where i actually connected with a character cyberpunk is my favorite an I was hype to play it wen it came out 2019 I like that we play as a merc
Thanks for this! I must agree. I was disappointed with so many of the promised features, bugs, and the fact that I would have to play as female to romance Judy! Having said that, CP2077 is the rpg i return to most often. Just the endless hours of exploration, and the quest for legendary items. It’s my favorite addiction!
What features did we miss out on? I didn't know anything about cyberpunk till July this year when I got a PS5 and I loved the game it felt complete to me. PL was the icing on the cake :)
Gameplay wise this is not some goty stuff, but what sold me are its characters, the world building and all the stories I've experienced. Hopefully CDPR can learn from their previous failure and spend more time to make the next CP game at least as good (if not better than) as Phantom Liberty.
I completely agree with you when you say: "..Cyberpunk 2077 never needed a comeback." I never played cyberpunk 2077 before the phantom dlc release, not because of the bugs or whatever, just didnt got my attention. Now after the dlc release i wanted to try it out. I did. I played it and I 100% prefer the base game story then the Phantom Liberty dlc, dont ask me why.. I just love everything more in the base game story then the new dlc. (Also i dont think that, if i ever replay the game, i can´t not choose the panam ending..)
Love the game since day one, I really do not care about all the glitch and bugs, the story and side mission are what impressed me the most and I've always feel like I'm living in NC when I'm playing it.
Well said. But yeah, there are 3 kinds of people: story people, graphic people, and gameplay people. I'm more of a story person, and this game broke my heart. I'm not better than graphic and gameplay people, that's how we prioritize and gauge our enjoyment. For gameplay and graphics people, this game may well forever be bad, and that's okay. But if you are a story person, this game is so important.
(sorry for my english, I'm french💩)... So much to say. In one sentence : we are all Saburo Arsaka's illegitmate children. ...and Saburo is just another illegitmate child of domination. Domination is not human : WE have ideals and tools other animals don't have. Well, that was not only one sentence 😀.
This video aged well.... I mean it outdid your expectation so you undershot it. Which is weird to say being people who watch this and haven't played the game would probably say you're being dramatic. Great video!
With PL's new ending, it makes me think how Judy, Pan, River, Ker, etc. all mourned you in a similar way they mourn when they find out you took the "path of least resistance". You "died" in a way, and they had two years to process it. TWO YEARS. Then seeing you again... Damn... For real their responses are very natural. The guys moved on, Kerr with his career, River making bad choices. The girls got the fuck out of NC! Judy has a stable relationship with someone with a normal job, a normal life. Panam is with her family, having a tough life on the road courtesy of fucking corpos like Militech, but they care for each other. V can start all over again. The Fool, brimming with potential. Life continues, 2079
I’ve got cyberpunk on day one. And I it was awful on ps4. But I knew they will fix it. They had to. It is not like they have a list of other franchises to back on. They had to make it work. The. I came back after Edgerunners update (and after watching this magnificent show) and I was hooked. I played 100 of the content. None other game managed to do that to me. I loved cruising Night city just to relax. And now I am afraid to even play Phantom Liberty, that when I finish it, it will be that. The Game Over:)
There is something so special about this game. Even when it released in it's broken state, I still loved the crap out of it. It's now become tradition for me to play this every Christmas holiday. With my vacation coming up, I'm incredibly excited to play Phantom Liberty, especially in its more polished state!
Not so much a comeback as a good redemption story! CDPR had to make up for quite a few sins, and they have. Since patch 2.0, Cyberpunk 2077 has moved up the ladder to become one of my favorite games. I’m currently loving every minute of this gorgeous gem of an RPG, and I’ve barely scratched the surface of the expansion.
Since no body said that than I well If cyberpunk had a goood multiplayer in night city like “freeroom” multiplayer for me it well put gtav online my number 2 favourite game of all times .
@@phant0mdummyit shook my core and I’ve played RDR2, the walking dead, The Witcher, heck any game with a sad story and none of them shook my core quite like Cybeorunk and phantom liberty
Judy's story with Evelyn is what crushed my heart and made me truly fall in love with this game. And Johnny's story would be next in line.. Just like with the Mass Effect trilogy, people lost their shit about the ending of ME3 and completely forgot that it's the Journey that makes it all worth it and beautiful. This game is just like it in all of the best ways and more.
170+ Hours here and you're absolutely correct played from release. Replay #2 was 1.6, Next replay will be after this download finishs. Story is so layered and gritty realistic yet destitute.
The Witcher III did the same to me;.God, this company. Can they make a single game which will not almost entirely mess sh!t up or bankrupt the company. Suciding itself?
@@toolie3671true, but every game they release is also a gamble for the company's life and plagued by technical issues at launch. TW3 had monstrous issues at launch
Same… I think about cyberpunk almost daily even when I haven’t played it for over a year. In my top 5 of all time games without a single shadow of doubt
I finished the game for the first time yesterday.. I was truly moved by it and kept thinking about it the whole day. I'm glad I waited for CDPR to properly finish the game and I could enjoy it at it's best. The decisions I made truly haunted me!😣
@@UrbanChampion9988 chill bro there are shows out there much more depressing than edgerunners. We barely get to know the cast of edgerunners either way, not enough screen time
I care so much about these people, even if they only exist in this digital universe of which we become a part. I wish I could save V. I wish I could get Jackie to Vik in enough time to fix his wound. I wish I could hug Judy and tell her she's not alone. I wish I could tell Panam that she's a great leader and a true friend to her fellow Nomads. I wish I could be there for River to vent his traumas from the past and lend him a hand fixing up Joss's house. I wish I could watch Kerry tear the roof off of a venue. I wish I could stop Mr. Blue Eyes from manipulating Jefferson and Elizabeth Peralez. I wish I could give Johnny a second chance. Cyberpunk 2077 is a video game, yes...but it's also so much more than that. I know I'm not the only one who feels that way....so here's to Night City, choombas.
Cyberpunk is in my top 3 games of all time, so immersive and feels so alive, night city is amazing and the story is perfect, can't wait to see what they do with the next cyberpunk, cyberpunk will forever hold a special place in my heart, ❤️ much love to the developers.
Still the same mediocre game/inferior GTA clone/ full of glitches and game breaking bugs, weak story, cringe characters, no balance, bad quest design, terrible UI... but paid shills and simps now worship the same Cyberjunk because it's trendy. Herd mentality.
@@bdleo300 that's your opinion and your welcome too it, but in my opinion it didn't have the best launch bug wise but has come along way since. The story I find is great and keeps you on your toes Wondering what's going to happen next, you have different ways to approach combat and decisions. If we compare that to GTA and it's fetch quests I'd much rather play cyberpunk. GTA is the same repeated combat..for nearly all its fights...log in online and wait to be hunted down by someone on a jet or hover bike..you pay to enjoy the luxury cars, weapons etc and grind reputation levels 1-8000 doing minigames and heists...then once you've grown bored of grinding and have put money into the game you proceed to the "love-hate" part of the game were you only play because you love to troll people over and over with your like minded friends and show off your fancy jet/tank/car that you paid for until eventually you get bored and return to fortnite and have a back and forth relationship between the 2 for the next few years 🙂 #herd #mentality
Haven't beaten yet just got to Pacifica. But man loving this game ever since its launch. I put it aside since other great games came out. Now fully on board with the game. It's amazing, top 3 for sure for me. Preem!
@@fablekinWell, I would like do play Cyberpunk 2077 with your eyes, really seems like a very good game. I have the PS4 version, and it’s still bad version of a game on last gen. It’s hard to enjoy the city when the game doesn’t render properly. The AI It’s not good either, so playing doesn’t request you to really consider how you’re fone play. And honestly I think the main story is kinda short, but can’t say the side quests are bad. Really enjoyed the variety of tue stories and how they ended. Hope next year I will be able to buy a PS4 and play this game with more of It’s potential at hand. It’s a shame that they’re already going to focus on a sequel, I think the best option would be to stay with the current generation of consoles to deliver a game as close as possible to what they promised. Any way, just some random thoughts about the game. With what I have now, gonna have to agree with the other buddy, GTA V still a better game.
Watching your video I kept saying "Yes!" every 10 or so seconds. It really is about how CP 2077 makes you feel and in that regard this game is like no other.
I'm angrily running to the comments section to tell you, this is hands down in my top 1-3 favorite games too and I've always felt this way since finishing the game in 2020. For me it's the grittiness and seediness as well as the general art direction, something about it just speaks to me. It gives me the same feels as seeing Akira for the first time when I was 13.
There’s a lot I could say but I’ll just say this, there’s times when I’m driving my favorite car and a song comes on the radio and I just have to go into 1st person and slow down to 40 mph and enjoy the ride
I was driving through the city core yesterday, and looked up at tops of the buildings and the sky. It was sunset. The light and sound culminated in such a strong feeling of place...it was, for a few moments, like I was actually there. I could almost smell the air. Very few games have done that for me. And that is why Cyberpunk 2077 is one of my favorite games. And I reserve that award for titles like System Shock, Thief, Fallout and Red Dead Redemption.
Guys. Sorry to tell you The RED engine will not be used in future production. So there won't be, the same CD PRred as it was a CD PRed gaming back then.
@@HanSolo__I’d honestly be sad if they were planning that, it’s better that they’re building a new engine that’ll be more dedicated to what they need, change isn’t always a bad thing
Thief… I still remember playing that back on the 360. It was one of my first truly immersive experiences alongside bioshock infinite. But cyberpunks atmosphere is just something so much more complex and.. human? My three favourite games of all time are destiny 1, Witcher 3, and cyberpunk 2077. Just something about those games, and with two of them being cdpr, it’s safe to say I’m excited to whatever they bring out next.
@@edwinvillalobos7159 RED has its advantages, but it also has issues. Facial movement and seamless, high-quality cutscenes are on the pluses. While tedious production and 3D work/effect balance come as bad sides of it.
Cyberpunk by far is my favorite game of all time. It's the only game that I have played multiple times. Usually I beat the game and then that's it. It's the only game where I feel like I'm part of the city
I was aproaching the end of RDR2 (having a great time, thinking is its one of the best games ever and im not even a fan of westerns) but i gave Cyberpunk 2.0 a shot (i had played it befor at release, but chose to wait till it was improved but even then i had a good time) and man.... man..... i just could not stop playing. I agree that it is a very special game that just punches you in the feels. I love RDR2, I love the witcher 3, I love mass effect, i cried with them all. But man..... CP2077. It feels closer. Becouse mainly it relates with what is going on in our world right now. The violence, the corruption, the media, technology, the coldness of it all....and in the middle of all that.... the people that you love and living with your values high up. Cheers people. Glad you are enjoying the game.
What a brilliant essay! Thank you for so poignantly putting into words what I always had a hard time explaining to others when I recommended the game. You‘ve earned a new sub, I look forward to your future content! :)
Cyberpunk hits so deep with me. The story, the characters, the gameplay. I connect with the story, V, Johnny and night city so much. Im constantly replaying this game, im on play through 6 now and I’ll keep replaying. The decisions you make, where they take you in that universe,the emotions. Then theres the artwork, lore, gameplay, graphics. I totally relate to what youre saying here. The game has such depth from so many directions.
Yeah, I'm really happy that the police system, AI, and other sandbox mechanics have improved a lot and it's nice seeing people enjoy it. Seeing so many gameplay clips right now of people just fighting the police. But you're 100% right, the game was never about fighting the police and police chases like in GTA. It's about engaging with the characters and your choices through side missions and the main story. That's why it's such a shame that so many people didn't give this game a chance because of the previously weak police system, or because they couldn't open 90% of the doors, and other, honestly, mundane reasons. I've played so many universally loved games before. The Witcher 3, RDR2, Ghost of Tsushima, etc and I truly loved them. But like you, only Cyberpunk 2077 really made me reflect on my life and my choices in real life as I sob while watching the end credits. The side missions too that impacted me so greatly like The Hunt and Both Sides Now. There were so many great stories and messages in this game even before update 2.0 so I do feel sad and like it's such a waste whenever people say they dropped the game because there was no police chase, and when they mistakenly believe that the game is all about great visuals. Far from it. The game hits so deep.
It’s one of the few games that has zero loading screens outside of using a fast travel point which is something incredible when you consider how big the game is.
It does have but competent people made it and you never really notice them. Elevators, certain parts of the city when you drive through are triggers to load other areas of thr city but the game never stops or fades out. Its really well done.
@unsoundfoxly 100% agree. You can make a phone call, text people, look around or whatever. Its called good game design. Mass Effect was already doing this in 2007. But Starfield is revolutionalizing RPG games apparently so what do we know??
The game captures the essence of the Cyberpunk genre like no other game, and it does so through people, not set pieces. I will never forget the gut punching feeling, when I finished the game the first time and the video calls came in. It's the best story game I ever played.
I knew to stick with Cyberpunk from the beginning. I knew they would update it. Wen it went next gen i was able to actually beat it. Then they updated again n made the experience brand new again. They actually made a come back. I bought Phantom Liberty, now i can play more with the new attributes system n play without the glitches n skips. The rewards n everything is well worth it. I invite anybody who likes open world , 1st person, action games, to buy Cyberpunk with the Phantom Liberty DLC. U wont be disappointed
Was it a mess when released? Yes. Though for me it was running fine mostly. But CDPR never abandoned their games in thr past, Witcher 3 is still getting updates. I had all the faith in those guys that they will fix it. They are not EA. Hear anything about Anthem this past year??? 😁
All I'll say is that I'm most of the way through 3 playthroughs (2 finished, one over half way through) and have started a 4th playthough just for 2.0 and Phantom Liberty and 2 things stick out to me I cried at everyone of Jackie's Offrenda's, and will now doubt cry for the 4th one The "On your own terms" ending has haunted me in a positive way ever since I discovered it it truly makes you consider the intrusive thought that I know at least I've had on and off for years now and more importantly it's consequences especially considering the fact that V is more than likely an anomaly in the world of the game, someone with the social web of a bygone era, to not alienate us the players But look at people like Barry the depressed cop, I think he's a more accurate everyman It must be baffling to live in a world where medical tech is so advanced, not only can you get replacement organs, but people choose to replace their functionning organs with better chrome and where the top Paramedic Company litterally has a "Death-Scale" from 1-10 to determine how well they'll be able to bring someone back from braindeath And yet the average life span must be in the 40s at Most, and even then that's with old-ass Corpo-fucks dragging the numbers up I think as strange as it might be, I'd probably prefer living in Night City, like starting life over Because to all intents and purposes, our world is only a few steps away, rather the Megacorp controlling our lives with the initial A is Amazon rather than Arasaka and there's a certain, I don't know, earnesty in the world of Cyberpunk, the corpos seem less shy about their corruption and control of politics But at least I'd be able to directly interface with a computer, brain-to-binary, and get zoomy camera eyes that can take pictures from my personnal point of view, and as an Edgerunner, never live two days the same way, whilst still having some habits, like cheap-ass Buck-a-Slice or a nice cool Broseph to wash it down with. In summary, the world today is so fucked up, that even an explicit dystopia is more escapist and enjoyable than whatever the fuck's going on out here (ok I just had a realisation but I intended to finish the comment here so bear with me, I'm reminded of the Bears in Trees song about apathy being boring and I think that's the gist of it People in Cyberpunk are angry, sad, annoyed, anxious, so many different things, but for the most part, they don't seem apathetic, they mostly still have a spark of life in them, whether that manifests through family bonds, reinforced by caravanning through the deserted ex-USA together, a bond forged in the pits of corporate backstabbing, or a humble kid off the Street who's somewhat of an icon where he lives, because not only did he do what he had to to survive, he thrived)
I'm going through a pretty tough time in my life right now. I've lost everything that mattered, dunno it's depression or just fear and procrastination, but... seeing the saddest ending again, in such a state, made me literally cry. Seeing those messages from V's friends with your voiceover... That's impactful. Nice job, mate!
i cried for 2 hours straight after the dlc ending. remember writing a deeeply loving review back in 2021, and to my surprise even back then i had lots of positive comments cp 2077 is art at it finest, a masterpiece for all times.
Wonderful, well said. I grieved when i beat this game.
Bruh.....I just did the same....
Was sitting back like....😮😮
Nooooooo Wayyyyyy....🤦🏾then the song and credits came on
you don't beat the game, the game beats you till you cry
Then restart it as a different character
You get it, get Cyberpunk. There's very few games that hit on that deeper level.
YES exactly ...love this game with my soul!
I never even expected to like it but its fs one of my fav games

this really captivates how i feel about this game the feeling of being in this world is captivating
This game became my favorite game of all time after my first playthrough, at launch, on an Xbox One. Maybe I was lucky, I did experience bugs just not many. I found the gameplay a bit clunky, but fun. What really grabbed me was the story and characters. I was completely immersed in the experience and by the time I finished it I was in awe. Then I tried it again after Edgerunners. Once again it provided one of the best experiences of gaming that I've ever had. This time I went with a different ending and this was the first time in my life that I felt like I had the perfect playthrough. I did the build that suited me the best, I made the best choices for my story, I had the best ending going from a corpo screwed over and obsessed with their rep to a nomad ready to move on from the birdcage that is Night City. It's the first game I've ever 100% and I can't wait to do it all again with 2.0 and Phantom Liberty.
You must’ve had Xbox One S because people who owned it like myself experienced a few bugs with many crashes
@@yeetnessthegreater1298 nope regularly Xbox One
I played it on Xbox one.... regular Xbox one and had few bugs....it was great then and is great now. I think 90 percent of the people never played it, they just jumped on the hate train....lucky I don't listen to others ans I judge things for myself. One of the best games I ever played....now everyone else is getting on board and realizing what I've known for years . That it's a great game. I told everyone that.
I was legit brought to tears when the credits rolled for the first time for me in Cyberpunk 2077. I have never cried at a video game’s ending before Cyberpunk.
As someone who grew up around a lot of violence, I lost two of the people closest to me. Playing Cyberpunk was the first time a piece of media pulled emotions out of me that I had forgotten about 15, 20 years ago. Judy's questline especially hit really hard. The world might be fiction, but it's crafted, written, and paced in such a way that just feels so true to life, it's beyond uncanny - you just get lost in it.
I agree with every word here.
I’m currently on my 8th play through and even though I know what’s coming I’m not bored. About to reach the point where I can start Phantom Liberty, so I’m very excited to experience it.
Prepare for the feels
That is the reason why I love cyberpunk so much one of my favorite top games because how it made me feel the story. The characters, the heartbreak, the sadness, the happiness all of that amazing story This is the reason why Cyberpunk is one of my favorite games. Im a campaign story gamer through-and-through.
The game was fixed and rocking over a year ago. 2.0 is icing. The music score alone is a masterpiece of emotional ambience realizing that world even fuller than Blade Runner (Blade Runner only had 2 hrs remember and concentrated on the melancholy) Cyberpunk fleshed out the street pop, the heavy thrash, the techno futurist, the bubblegum electro-pop, all the action scores and still had time for down to earth campfire songs ...are you kidding me what did you want for $40.
I’ve watched social media unite the downtrodden and victims of crime and become one of the greatest forces for good I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen it become a sewer of profanity and disrespect and while I wouldn’t take social media away if I had the power to, the biggest reason I WOULD have for destroying it is that nothing has been a better conduit for spreading group-think. I’ve watched hundreds of thousands of people adopt poorly formed opinions in a gigantic wave over and over and it’s sadder to me than any swearing and sadder than death threats over game delays.
It reminds me that there are huge amounts of dim-witted people, herds of them thousands-strong right amongst all the beautiful and strange and wonderful people. A beige stain on humanity. So I like to hear someone speaking passionately and almost poetically about having a different perspective on a game that was surrounded by the moos of herds of easily-led group thinkers that is about a fictional dystopia that was enabled by humanity being made up of herds of easily-led group thinkers.
Great work👍
Just seeing this video 5 days later and you are spot on.
Thanks for watching!
I was teary when I finished Cyberpunk. I find that future very plausible - a world of advanced tech But human despair.
I'm taking a break from it before I can get to Liberty City.
This is the game that properly got me back into gaming
I think this is a great video. The best games aren't the one's with the most advanced tech or the coolest features but the ones that stick in our hearts showing us what it truly means to be human, which is the people around us.
I saved it until patch 2.0 and it’s one of the best decisions of my life I’m tryna to take it slow but literally blasting through the game side content included because of how hooked it has me. I’m genuinely doing everything in my power to avoid finishing it because I know how empty I’ll feel after bro what a masterpiece.
No BS, I don't think I've ever played a game that made me so emotional or gave me pause more than two or three times. Cyberpunk 2077, Phantom Liberty and Edgerunners left a huge impression on me. One of the best games ever made, and I'm very thankful CDPR didn't give up on it, put in the work and gave us something truly special.
The game worked for me day one and I fell in love with it. So it was a unique feeling of depression knowing people were hating on it and that it was deserved. I’m very happy they were able to fix what was broken and than some.
Beautifully said. Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most human experiences you can feel in a game that I have ever played. A true work of art. 10/10. Masterpiece. A greatest of all time video game.
This is one of the best games I've ever played. I'm amazed with this game.
900 hours of playing Cyberpunk, and it's always different for me. It's also nice to know the creator of this world, MP! :) Getting to talk about the setting is awesome and pen and paper if you have a good GM is pretty epic as well. But I must say I find myself cruising around listening to music in game, or just walking around looking for a perfect vista for my photo collection.
Awesome video, this is my favorite game ever after beating it in 2.0 after stopping till 1.6 and started PL, just passed chimera, but I remember at launch feeling it was special, the city, characters, atmosphere, density, colors, contrast, stories all around, living night city is specially unique, its a higher level no other game yet got close, I would like to see aquatic and flying vehicles and a big multiplayer mode but we can't forget its the first game, the Witcher took 3 games to be great, cant wait for whats next for cyberpunk franchise and cdprojekt red new ip
At launch I bought on PC. My PC was a monster and I had really no issues playing it. Logged 500+ hours and loved the game. Love it even more in its 2.0 version and PL. Can't wait to preorder the sequel.
I love the story in cyberpunk. However the moment i fell in love was when i couldnt get a car in the game and had to walk for a little bit, i forgot which district i was in, but as i was walking, i looked at the world around me and the buildings in the game, how dense and massive it was, how there were details everywhere, and at that point i stopped playing the story and spent the whole day just walking around, immersing myself in this extremely underrated world. Its a godsend game.
I downloaded this in july this year for the first time. I have loved every single minute of it. Gets you right in the feels.
been playing this game nonstop since 2.0 and PL dropped. easily one of my favorite gaming experiences this year, maybe ever. last time a game made me feel this way was probably part 1 of the last of us
damn, the emotional aspects of the game get to me deeply. i wish i could get some love back to the devs who inspired this in the characters and story. not all will understand this, but this game is masterpiece and will change future games forever, like it did change me
What Cyberpunk 2077 needed, was a state of polish which allowed the great writing, atmosphere and art direction to really shine and come together as an immersive whole, which doesn't constantly kick the player out of immersion with jank, frustrating bugs and poorly implemented features.
And with 2.0 update, it finally got what it deserved. It now finally feels like a complete, fully realized work of art. Although there' still a bit of jank and bugs apparent here and there.
But everything that really matters for a game like this is finally rock solid. it just works. And the immersive narrative journey is finally smooth, so one can fully focus on the mature experience and impactful impressions.
I NEVER have cried over a Game review ever... until today... thx for putting my thoughts and feelings about this game since release out there...
The first mission sequence of phantom liberty is better than any other games i can remember probably since red dead 2 .its crap it launched bad but it is a whole vibe now ,brilliant game .
Completed this game 3 times now and gone back to saves to see all possible endings. With the release of Phantom Liberty and BG3 I have experienced some of the best gaming experiences in my life and I have been playing games since Pong on a Atari in the late 70s! My sense of euphoria for current day gaming is however tempered by that soulless drivel Starfield that I had such high hopes for. None the less, a fantastic year for gaming.
The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 are my number-one games. The way I know is because the world feels real. I miss the characters, I feel loss that it has ended and I miss talking to my friends in the game.
I played on PC and never had any of the issues others had so I got to see it all without the problems.
649 hours played and I'm going to go back again to try and play it differently again and lose myself in it again.
Only game I pre-order without regret. Pre-order day one, played on release with minimal to no bugs (but wanted quality of life updates). Finished with multiple play through, endings choices, male/female V... Watched Edgerunners and broke down, played Cyberpunk 2077 again and cried, felt relieved.... Now with Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty 2.0.... With more endings and content.... I am so happy this update came out, more quality of life updates and, I get to play more and can't wait for Project Orion releases.
That suicide ending was the first ending I chose. I felt it was probably the best way to go, a little disappointed I didn't get an ending achievement. But probably one of the more wholesome endings.
Im glad I wasnt the only one who appreciated the slower moments. I get that "the real treasure was the friends we made along the way" is a cliche but CDPR has a talent for being subtle with their writing which is rare especially in video game stories, when the credits rolled on my first endingband I recieved those voice mails from my friends I knew then and there what the words "secure your soul" truly meant, it wasnt about being immortal in the world, it was about being immortal in the memories of your friends and family, something Arasaka or any other corp couldnt possibly offer, but really it depends up to the player to know what they truly got out of the game because the game has a lot going on for itself for better or worse. One thing's for sure no other game dev has put in such care and detail into a game like cyberpunk, it reallly goes to show CDPR's love and respect towards making something beautiful and reminding us that video games arent just a product but also a form of Art.
"Loving it for what it is instead of hating it for what it isn't", amen to that. I completed and got all achievements for this game back in early 2023, without knowing about Phantom Liberty being a thing. The game was gorgeous from the get go. Phantom Liberty helped? Sure, but the was was awesome before that.
This game is *chefs kiss*. When people ask me my favorite game(s) off the rip its always been Mass Effect/ Dragon Age/ DMC/ Fallout NV. Cyberpunk has not joined the ranks and heavily sits closer to the top
your music and intro scene selection was amazing. filmaker.
Only a minute in and I'm so glad to see someone else say it. I finished this game with bugs, 8 crashes, and terrible frame rate issues on my Xbox One X but despite all that I absolutely loved the characters and stories and finished it in less than a week. It is pretty amazing to see the huge resurgence and shift of general opinion on this game, but the number of Phantom Liberty reviews stating things like "the game is finally fixed" or "finally looks like the game that was promised" are just such shallow statements and clearly show the person wasn't a fan of the game or hadn't played it much at all.
cyberpunk 2077 is a gem, and i am so happy they fixed it
This was a great watch and i can not stress enough how well made this video and message is! thank you for a great video
This game is a masterpiece in a long time where i actually connected with a character cyberpunk is my favorite an I was hype to play it wen it came out 2019 I like that we play as a merc
I’ve been playing for 4 years and I think I’ve beat the game over 6+ times but I’ll still keep my going
So heartwarming. :-)
God bless.
Bro got me crying, fuck.
Thanks for this! I must agree. I was disappointed with so many of the promised features, bugs, and the fact that I would have to play as female to romance Judy! Having said that, CP2077 is the rpg i return to most often. Just the endless hours of exploration, and the quest for legendary items. It’s my favorite addiction!
What features did we miss out on? I didn't know anything about cyberpunk till July this year when I got a PS5 and I loved the game it felt complete to me. PL was the icing on the cake :)
Thank you for this.
Gameplay wise this is not some goty stuff, but what sold me are its characters, the world building and all the stories I've experienced. Hopefully CDPR can learn from their previous failure and spend more time to make the next CP game at least as good (if not better than) as Phantom Liberty.
Amazing... and I definitely can tell you didn't try it with the VR set on.
When you drive, it's a totally different feeling... enjoy the rides...
The only shame is that only people with a 4080 can enjoy the ray tracing well
I completely agree with you when you say: "..Cyberpunk 2077 never needed a comeback." I never played cyberpunk 2077 before the phantom dlc release, not because of the bugs or whatever, just didnt got my attention. Now after the dlc release i wanted to try it out. I did. I played it and I 100% prefer the base game story then the Phantom Liberty dlc, dont ask me why.. I just love everything more in the base game story then the new dlc. (Also i dont think that, if i ever replay the game, i can´t not choose the panam ending..)
The last of us is the only other game that evokes emotion the way that cyberpunk does
Well written, very well written
13:00 This ending touched my heart. By running away from difficult decisions, by wanting to fuck it all, I hurt everyone who cared about me.
Exactly my thoughts, bro 👏
8 Billion people haven't watched this video. About 39 thousand forgot to like it.
Very well done. 👍
Love the game since day one, I really do not care about all the glitch and bugs, the story and side mission are what impressed me the most and I've always feel like I'm living in NC when I'm playing it.
Well said. But yeah, there are 3 kinds of people: story people, graphic people, and gameplay people. I'm more of a story person, and this game broke my heart. I'm not better than graphic and gameplay people, that's how we prioritize and gauge our enjoyment. For gameplay and graphics people, this game may well forever be bad, and that's okay. But if you are a story person, this game is so important.
(sorry for my english, I'm french💩)...
So much to say.
In one sentence : we are all Saburo Arsaka's illegitmate children.
...and Saburo is just another illegitmate child of domination.
Domination is not human : WE have ideals and tools other animals don't have.
Well, that was not only one sentence 😀.
This video aged well.... I mean it outdid your expectation so you undershot it. Which is weird to say being people who watch this and haven't played the game would probably say you're being dramatic. Great video!
I loved it when it "sucked." It's just a great game. Cyberpunk had me in my feelings about all the decisions.
A fantastic essay dude. 😊
God damn i love your video
Thanks for watching! Just made one on the main channel like this you’ll probably really like
With PL's new ending, it makes me think how Judy, Pan, River, Ker, etc. all mourned you in a similar way they mourn when they find out you took the "path of least resistance". You "died" in a way, and they had two years to process it. TWO YEARS. Then seeing you again... Damn... For real their responses are very natural. The guys moved on, Kerr with his career, River making bad choices. The girls got the fuck out of NC! Judy has a stable relationship with someone with a normal job, a normal life. Panam is with her family, having a tough life on the road courtesy of fucking corpos like Militech, but they care for each other. V can start all over again. The Fool, brimming with potential. Life continues, 2079
I’ve got cyberpunk on day one. And I it was awful on ps4. But I knew they will fix it. They had to. It is not like they have a list of other franchises to back on. They had to make it work. The. I came back after Edgerunners update (and after watching this magnificent show) and I was hooked. I played 100 of the content. None other game managed to do that to me. I loved cruising Night city just to relax. And now I am afraid to even play Phantom Liberty, that when I finish it, it will be that. The Game Over:)
Bought the game yesterday just because I felt it was time
You got it, man…
The game is nothing like at launch. Holy shit does this game look good!
There is something so special about this game. Even when it released in it's broken state, I still loved the crap out of it. It's now become tradition for me to play this every Christmas holiday. With my vacation coming up, I'm incredibly excited to play Phantom Liberty, especially in its more polished state!
I have always loved this game and I always will
Re-upload?
I don't mind 😅 this needs to be shared over and over sadly
Wow, from shiting on it 2 years ago to love letters 😂😂😂
Frankly never shit on cyberpunk but if you mean in general on TH-cam, it's crazy how the reactions flipped.
Not so much a comeback as a good redemption story! CDPR had to make up for quite a few sins, and they have. Since patch 2.0, Cyberpunk 2077 has moved up the ladder to become one of my favorite games. I’m currently loving every minute of this gorgeous gem of an RPG, and I’ve barely scratched the surface of the expansion.
Since no body said that than I well
If cyberpunk had a goood multiplayer in night city like “freeroom” multiplayer for me it well put gtav online my number 2 favourite game of all times .
Because of you fucker I had tears in my eyes now 😅😭. Thank you for the feelings you have given the right words. 👍🫶
YES! 1000 TIMES YES!
Phantom Liberty had an ending that shook me to the core. 10/10
I can't wait to beat it, taken it slow
My man on some fragile core.
If it's the one I think it is, me too. I was absolutely gutted. I'm not usually one to cry over a video game but that ending broke me.
@@phant0mdummyI wonder if you’ll ever get over it and forgive them for the mistake they made. Perhaps you’ll find closure.
@@phant0mdummyit shook my core and I’ve played RDR2, the walking dead, The Witcher, heck any game with a sad story and none of them shook my core quite like Cybeorunk and phantom liberty
That scene with Johnny at the oil fields is what cemented this game as one of my favorites of all time.
Judy's story with Evelyn is what crushed my heart and made me truly fall in love with this game.
And Johnny's story would be next in line..
Just like with the Mass Effect trilogy, people lost their shit about the ending of ME3 and completely forgot that it's the Journey that makes it all worth it and beautiful.
This game is just like it in all of the best ways and more.
170+ Hours here and you're absolutely correct played from release. Replay #2 was 1.6, Next replay will be after this download finishs. Story is so layered and gritty realistic yet destitute.
I have similar hours on it and it’s one of my favourite games of all time also
dont wanna brag but after 1400 hours this game still manages to break me
@@antxnwhat can you even do in this game for that many hours
@@demon5965 mods and a lotta playthroughs, photomode takes a lot of time too

I dont know- i've never been able to play any game with so much soul ever since.

@@HanSolo__what are you talking about. Every game they release is a commercial success
@@toolie3671true, but every game they release is also a gamble for the company's life and plagued by technical issues at launch. TW3 had monstrous issues at launch

Same… I think about cyberpunk almost daily even when I haven’t played it for over a year. In my top 5 of all time games without a single shadow of doubt
I finished the game for the first time yesterday.. I was truly moved by it and kept thinking about it the whole day. I'm glad I waited for CDPR to properly finish the game and I could enjoy it at it's best. The decisions I made truly haunted me!😣
u missed the whole point, the game was always finished and good
@witcherpie Not with those stupid bugs lol.

Don't watch Edgerunners, it will spiral you into depression
@@UrbanChampion9988 chill bro there are shows out there much more depressing than edgerunners. We barely get to know the cast of edgerunners either way, not enough screen time
I care so much about these people, even if they only exist in this digital universe of which we become a part.
I wish I could save V.
I wish I could get Jackie to Vik in enough time to fix his wound.
I wish I could hug Judy and tell her she's not alone.
I wish I could tell Panam that she's a great leader and a true friend to her fellow Nomads.
I wish I could be there for River to vent his traumas from the past and lend him a hand fixing up Joss's house.
I wish I could watch Kerry tear the roof off of a venue.
I wish I could stop Mr. Blue Eyes from manipulating Jefferson and Elizabeth Peralez.
I wish I could give Johnny a second chance.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a video game, yes...but it's also so much more than that.
I know I'm not the only one who feels that way....so here's to Night City, choombas.
To this!
@Jacklikeschez to Jackie then choom!
To Haboobs!
Cyberpunk is in my top 3 games of all time, so immersive and feels so alive, night city is amazing and the story is perfect, can't wait to see what they do with the next cyberpunk, cyberpunk will forever hold a special place in my heart, ❤️ much love to the developers.
Still the same mediocre game/inferior GTA clone/ full of glitches and game breaking bugs, weak story, cringe characters, no balance, bad quest design, terrible UI... but paid shills and simps now worship the same Cyberjunk because it's trendy. Herd mentality.
@@bdleo300 that's your opinion and your welcome too it, but in my opinion it didn't have the best launch bug wise but has come along way since. The story I find is great and keeps you on your toes Wondering what's going to happen next, you have different ways to approach combat and decisions. If we compare that to GTA and it's fetch quests I'd much rather play cyberpunk. GTA is the same repeated combat..for nearly all its fights...log in online and wait to be hunted down by someone on a jet or hover bike..you pay to enjoy the luxury cars, weapons etc and grind reputation levels 1-8000 doing minigames and heists...then once you've grown bored of grinding and have put money into the game you proceed to the "love-hate" part of the game were you only play because you love to troll people over and over with your like minded friends and show off your fancy jet/tank/car that you paid for until eventually you get bored and return to fortnite and have a back and forth relationship between the 2 for the next few years 🙂 #herd #mentality
Haven't beaten yet just got to Pacifica. But man loving this game ever since its launch. I put it aside since other great games came out. Now fully on board with the game. It's amazing, top 3 for sure for me. Preem!
@@fablekinWell, I would like do play Cyberpunk 2077 with your eyes, really seems like a very good game. I have the PS4 version, and it’s still bad version of a game on last gen. It’s hard to enjoy the city when the game doesn’t render properly. The AI It’s not good either, so playing doesn’t request you to really consider how you’re fone play. And honestly I think the main story is kinda short, but can’t say the side quests are bad. Really enjoyed the variety of tue stories and how they ended. Hope next year I will be able to buy a PS4 and play this game with more of It’s potential at hand. It’s a shame that they’re already going to focus on a sequel, I think the best option would be to stay with the current generation of consoles to deliver a game as close as possible to what they promised. Any way, just some random thoughts about the game. With what I have now, gonna have to agree with the other buddy, GTA V still a better game.
@@bdleo300awww has little baby done poopoos
Watching your video I kept saying "Yes!" every 10 or so seconds. It really is about how CP 2077 makes you feel and in that regard this game is like no other.
I'm angrily running to the comments section to tell you, this is hands down in my top 1-3 favorite games too and I've always felt this way since finishing the game in 2020. For me it's the grittiness and seediness as well as the general art direction, something about it just speaks to me. It gives me the same feels as seeing Akira for the first time when I was 13.
There’s a lot I could say but I’ll just say this, there’s times when I’m driving my favorite car and a song comes on the radio and I just have to go into 1st person and slow down to 40 mph and enjoy the ride
I was driving through the city core yesterday, and looked up at tops of the buildings and the sky. It was sunset. The light and sound culminated in such a strong feeling of place...it was, for a few moments, like I was actually there. I could almost smell the air. Very few games have done that for me. And that is why Cyberpunk 2077 is one of my favorite games. And I reserve that award for titles like System Shock, Thief, Fallout and Red Dead Redemption.
Guys. Sorry to tell you The RED engine will not be used in future production. So there won't be, the same CD PRred as it was a CD PRed gaming back then.
@@HanSolo__I’d honestly be sad if they were planning that, it’s better that they’re building a new engine that’ll be more dedicated to what they need, change isn’t always a bad thing
Thief… I still remember playing that back on the 360. It was one of my first truly immersive experiences alongside bioshock infinite.
But cyberpunks atmosphere is just something so much more complex and.. human? My three favourite games of all time are destiny 1, Witcher 3, and cyberpunk 2077. Just something about those games, and with two of them being cdpr, it’s safe to say I’m excited to whatever they bring out next.
@@edwinvillalobos7159 RED has its advantages, but it also has issues. Facial movement and seamless, high-quality cutscenes are on the pluses. While tedious production and 3D work/effect balance come as bad sides of it.
@@edwinvillalobos7159 they arent building a new engine, theyll be using unreal going forward
Cyberpunk by far is my favorite game of all time. It's the only game that I have played multiple times. Usually I beat the game and then that's it. It's the only game where I feel like I'm part of the city
Can't agree more with this take on CP2077. Well done on this video, hope it gets all the views it deserves :)
I was aproaching the end of RDR2 (having a great time, thinking is its one of the best games ever and im not even a fan of westerns) but i gave Cyberpunk 2.0 a shot (i had played it befor at release, but chose to wait till it was improved but even then i had a good time) and man.... man..... i just could not stop playing. I agree that it is a very special game that just punches you in the feels. I love RDR2, I love the witcher 3, I love mass effect, i cried with them all. But man..... CP2077. It feels closer. Becouse mainly it relates with what is going on in our world right now. The violence, the corruption, the media, technology, the coldness of it all....and in the middle of all that.... the people that you love and living with your values high up. Cheers people. Glad you are enjoying the game.
If you end yourself, Judy's reaction at the ending credits will tear your soul. The pain in the voice acting in that credit roll is second to none!
You literally gave me chills right now just remembering that.
What a brilliant essay!
Thank you for so poignantly putting into words what I always had a hard time explaining to others when I recommended the game.
You‘ve earned a new sub, I look forward to your future content! :)
Cyberpunk hits so deep with me. The story, the characters, the gameplay. I connect with the story, V, Johnny and night city so much. Im constantly replaying this game, im on play through 6 now and I’ll keep replaying. The decisions you make, where they take you in that universe,the emotions. Then theres the artwork, lore, gameplay, graphics. I totally relate to what youre saying here. The game has such depth from so many directions.
Like when I hear I wanna stay at your house comes on I start crying every time
Yeah, I'm really happy that the police system, AI, and other sandbox mechanics have improved a lot and it's nice seeing people enjoy it. Seeing so many gameplay clips right now of people just fighting the police. But you're 100% right, the game was never about fighting the police and police chases like in GTA. It's about engaging with the characters and your choices through side missions and the main story. That's why it's such a shame that so many people didn't give this game a chance because of the previously weak police system, or because they couldn't open 90% of the doors, and other, honestly, mundane reasons. I've played so many universally loved games before. The Witcher 3, RDR2, Ghost of Tsushima, etc and I truly loved them. But like you, only Cyberpunk 2077 really made me reflect on my life and my choices in real life as I sob while watching the end credits. The side missions too that impacted me so greatly like The Hunt and Both Sides Now. There were so many great stories and messages in this game even before update 2.0 so I do feel sad and like it's such a waste whenever people say they dropped the game because there was no police chase, and when they mistakenly believe that the game is all about great visuals. Far from it. The game hits so deep.
It’s one of the few games that has zero loading screens outside of using a fast travel point which is something incredible when you consider how big the game is.
It does have but competent people made it and you never really notice them. Elevators, certain parts of the city when you drive through are triggers to load other areas of thr city but the game never stops or fades out. Its really well done.
@@neutchain7838 the difference is with elevators the character is still able to move it’s not a blank cut screen or something.
@unsoundfoxly
100% agree. You can make a phone call, text people, look around or whatever. Its called good game design. Mass Effect was already doing this in 2007. But Starfield is revolutionalizing RPG games apparently so what do we know??
Atrocious city design, map is useless and elevator goes 10 minutes between two floors.
@@bdleo300 dude is playing on last gen complaining.
The game captures the essence of the Cyberpunk genre like no other game, and it does so through people, not set pieces. I will never forget the gut punching feeling, when I finished the game the first time and the video calls came in. It's the best story game I ever played.
I knew to stick with Cyberpunk from the beginning. I knew they would update it. Wen it went next gen i was able to actually beat it. Then they updated again n made the experience brand new again. They actually made a come back. I bought Phantom Liberty, now i can play more with the new attributes system n play without the glitches n skips. The rewards n everything is well worth it. I invite anybody who likes open world , 1st person, action games, to buy Cyberpunk with the Phantom Liberty DLC. U wont be disappointed
Was it a mess when released? Yes. Though for me it was running fine mostly. But CDPR never abandoned their games in thr past, Witcher 3 is still getting updates. I had all the faith in those guys that they will fix it. They are not EA. Hear anything about Anthem this past year??? 😁
I can’t get over how good this game is. The detailed environments are astounding.
All I'll say is that I'm most of the way through 3 playthroughs (2 finished, one over half way through) and have started a 4th playthough just for 2.0 and Phantom Liberty
and 2 things stick out to me
I cried at everyone of Jackie's Offrenda's, and will now doubt cry for the 4th one
The "On your own terms" ending has haunted me in a positive way ever since I discovered it
it truly makes you consider the intrusive thought that I know at least I've had on and off for years now
and more importantly it's consequences
especially considering the fact that V is more than likely an anomaly in the world of the game, someone with the social web of a bygone era, to not alienate us the players
But look at people like Barry the depressed cop, I think he's a more accurate everyman
It must be baffling to live in a world where medical tech is so advanced, not only can you get replacement organs, but people choose to replace their functionning organs with better chrome
and where the top Paramedic Company litterally has a "Death-Scale" from 1-10 to determine how well they'll be able to bring someone back from braindeath
And yet the average life span must be in the 40s at Most, and even then that's with old-ass Corpo-fucks dragging the numbers up
I think as strange as it might be, I'd probably prefer living in Night City, like starting life over
Because to all intents and purposes, our world is only a few steps away, rather the Megacorp controlling our lives with the initial A is Amazon rather than Arasaka
and there's a certain, I don't know, earnesty in the world of Cyberpunk, the corpos seem less shy about their corruption and control of politics
But at least I'd be able to directly interface with a computer, brain-to-binary, and get zoomy camera eyes that can take pictures from my personnal point of view, and as an Edgerunner, never live two days the same way, whilst still having some habits, like cheap-ass Buck-a-Slice or a nice cool Broseph to wash it down with.
In summary, the world today is so fucked up, that even an explicit dystopia is more escapist and enjoyable than whatever the fuck's going on out here
(ok I just had a realisation but I intended to finish the comment here so bear with me, I'm reminded of the Bears in Trees song about apathy being boring and I think that's the gist of it
People in Cyberpunk are angry, sad, annoyed, anxious, so many different things, but for the most part, they don't seem apathetic, they mostly still have a spark of life in them, whether that manifests through family bonds, reinforced by caravanning through the deserted ex-USA together, a bond forged in the pits of corporate backstabbing, or a humble kid off the Street who's somewhat of an icon where he lives, because not only did he do what he had to to survive, he thrived)
I'm going through a pretty tough time in my life right now. I've lost everything that mattered, dunno it's depression or just fear and procrastination, but... seeing the saddest ending again, in such a state, made me literally cry. Seeing those messages from V's friends with your voiceover... That's impactful. Nice job, mate!
i cried for 2 hours straight after the dlc ending. remember writing a deeeply loving review back in 2021, and to my surprise even back then i had lots of positive comments
cp 2077 is art at it finest, a masterpiece for all times.
