100% agree, I think some amazing dlc is coming that can hopefully turn the ship around. And even if it doesn’t nothing will ever make the core of this game not something special. Thanks for watching!
The performances from the actors really sell the story, themes, and like you said, make them feel like real people. This is one of the only RPGs where even on the 3rd playthrough I made the same decisions because I couldn't bring myself to make the "wrong" decisions. I couldn't stand to make the characters upset lol.
Haha that’s so true I was the same way like I couldn’t just be a dick to Judy otherwise I would just want to reload a save. Thanks for watching and commenting!
It resonated so much with me. To embrace beauty in mundane... To be just an average guy and happy with that. Striving for ambitions should be like a spice, not the main meal. People like you set a great example of balancing enjoying mundane and striving to be exceptional. And illuminate misery of "who has made it". I have experienced dangers of "striving to be exceptional" myself.
@@FranklyGaming I enjoy your content, because you question "established rules" and have really deep dive, not being afraid to go vs mainstream (such as why games should be shorter, not to mention your crush on Cyberpunk).
@@FranklyGaming By the way, "Trails in the sky" does not have agency (multiple choices as in Fallout, Cyberpunk or Mass effect). It can be slow phase. IMO worth trade offs for deep exploration, high detail. Forces to calm down and just concentrate on process, not "rush to finish the game to play next one".
It's nice to see a positive review amongst all the complaining. I loved this game and have done 3 playthroughs now. I always think back to those small moments with the characters. Great video man
The game has taught me sooooo much. I have always valued people over "stuff" but this game really drives home the importance of interpersonal relationships with absolute amazing amazing amazing friends like Panam, Judy, etc.
@@FranklyGaming Hey I didn't expect a reply so fast! Really great video and once again the real life lessons this game teaches is just unreal....and the fact that it came out during the pandemic I think made it even better. Ill check that out for sure!
I was suspended from work for a week when cyberpunk dropped. Of course I played it that whole week, making the choices I thought I would make if I was in V's shoes. At the end of the game I sat there in my studio apartment, alone, watching V escape night city with Panam. It made me think about some things that happened in my life recently. me and my girl prior to that got into a argument and broke up. I couldn't tell you what we argued about, probably something dumb, but it made me realize that I made a mistake letting her go. that I needed to get up and go get her back. that the choices I made prior where not my ideal choices like I made in game. I was making choices I thought I would make in V's shoes when in reality I wasnt. long story short me and her are back together and we are planning our life together. In the end I got my Panam.
Awesome story man it’s cool how really good art can really give you perspective hope you two are happy! Thanks so much for supporting my channel choom ❤️
This is one of those game you mourn the ending of for awhile, no matter which you choose. Like when you get to the finale of an amazing tv show, and you're excited for the finale, but you hate that it has to end. That was my experience with it for sure
Another great Cyberpunk 2077 video. Great job man. I’m not here to shit on other games, as I do enjoy them, but I recently finished Horizon Zero Dawn, however I still wouldn’t be able to tell you the name of a single person in that game besides Aloy. Similarly, I’d struggle to immediately recall the names of any characters from any of Bethesda’s or Ubisoft’s games. Yet I haven’t played any of The Witcher games in a couple years and finished my last play through of Cyberpunk 2077 over 5 months ago but can still tell you the name of every CDPR character, their hopes and dreams, the things they love and the things they hate. CDPR is truly the best when it comes to characters.
Couldn’t have said it better myself cdpr definatly doesn’t get everything right but the things they do get super right to me are what make art so powerful. Thanks again for watching good to see you again man
Excellent presentation on CP. The game is interesting because only if you do many playthroughs do you get to see the effects of choices made in the game. Like doing what Judy wants V to do in taking over Clouds only to find out later that the Doll Tom is dead and the Tyger Claws took back Clouds whereas if you let Maiko take over Tom doesn't die. Or if you tell Jefferson Paralez the truth he turns into a super paranoid guy, whereas if you dont he is more at peace with everything. It becomes more obvious that each choice V makes has ramifications. And there is no great choice sometimes. If you do certain things correctly you can save Pepe's marriage,...or not, ;you can save your neighbor Barry, or not, you can save Claire from having to live with killing Samson or not. Sometimes there are clear choices that help, other times the choices are not clearly better no matter what you choose.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment I really appreciate the support! And ya people honestly don’t give this game enough credit I hope with dlcs and over time more and more people grow to see how great the game is
So many people said your choices don't matter. They just weren't looking in the right places. People expected world sweeping changes yet the game was never, ever about that. V was never going to change Night City and the game even explicitly tells you that. All V can do is save a few people around them, maybe themself and hope for the best.
One of the moments that made me cry was the crucifixion of Stephenson. V is send to kill the guy, and ironically is exactly what you do at the end of this side quest... But to get there, what a ride, seeing the mother of the guy Stephenson killed angry righteous angry towards him, seeing the greedy of the producer, but at the end, you can even sympathize with the producer of the ND, seeing that even her was touched in some way by the crucifixion of the Arroyo's Jesus. It's this small touches, subtle touches of brilliance that Cyberpunk 2077 shine brighter that any game i ever played, you can look at the reaction of the characters just by the way they look at you. You can see their emotions through their faces...
One of my most memorable moments was when I've finished the game, left Night City with Panam and Aldecaldos, went out, smoked and then... the star have fallen. One of the most magic moments in my life.
This is beutiful, you made a grown man cry. The game has been masterpiece since release. So much I've played 250 hours before finishing it for 1st time. I didn't check any content on the game to avoid spoilers, it was an Ultimate Gaming Experience & Deep Metaphysical Stuff
I racked up nearly 500 hours on one playthrough because I chose to play stealth and to finish EVERY side mission. At the end I chose a path that would not get anyone I loved/liked killed. It was a horrible, but necessary ending. I felt terrible but relieved no one died on my behalf. Very strange experience, unlike any game I've ever played. Loved it.
I've been a fan of CDPR since The Witcher 1 and consider The Witcher 3 an open world rpg masterpiece. I was hyped for Cyberpunk 2077 but kept my expectations in check because I thought there was no way they could top a trilogy of games and hundreds of hours getting to know The Witcher universe characters. I couldn't have been more wrong and CDPR upped their character writing skills by a whole hell of a lot with Cyberpunk 2077. Maybe it's the more grounded setting compared to a fantasy world but this game wears its heart on its sleeve as do many of the special characters. It's packed with emotion and touched me in ways no game has ever come close to doing. The characters feel like they come from the writers hearts and souls and that's beautiful. I love this game so much.
Hey mandu thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment that means a lot! And ya I agree completely there is an emotional level to this game that is unlike any other I have played and it is such a bummer more people aren't giving it a chance. Hopefully as dlc and more improvements come out many will look back on this game with found memories. As you said the character writing and acting is on a whole different level.
Another beautiful video, I'm happy to finally find a group of people that love this game as much as I do, nothing but the best experience I've had in media. Keep up the good work man 👏
Yeah, CDPR management botched the launch, BADLY (if nothing else, the last-gen console release should have been pushed back by 6 months) but despite that, its telling that more than 20,000 people (on PC) are still playing the game nearly 2 years after release. A number of Live Service games wish they had those kinds of daily player counts!
I appreciate these videos you make on this game. Exposing what it TRULY is. Then I see my recommendations - countless videos that slam this game, hating it for the sake of that popular opinion with no thought or actual experience with this world. And they have 1-3 millions views. I'll never be sadder, that this is reality. That people would rather watch the expected, than face the fact they are missing out on true ART in a video game...

As a fan of the tabletop, 2077 had me in my feelings. The only regret I have is not looking out for Jackie (you know what part I'm talking about). That time skip threw me off. Overall, We'll Never Fade Away. 🍻🌃
I've played this game several times through doing everything, every side gif and NCPD call and I'll probably play it through again. I love this game, the story is impeccable 👌🏼
Couldn't agree more. This game is epic, but unfortunately 95% of the gamers won't stop and THINK about the underlying message. The only game that comes close is the first Bioshock game. Thankyou for this video.
For me.. My first run was as a Nomad Male character.. Putting most points into "Cool", but also a lot of points into other areas.. Kind of like an assassin who can use hacks, knives, sniper rifles, and craft things.. Someone who.. Does not have anything in "body" besides the regenerate health thing you can get at the start of it.. My character basically was quickly set up as I played to be someone that will show up undetected.. and either everyone is found dead, or everyone is found unconscious..Never detected. ( The few times I was I would either evade or reload. it was only a few times and those times involved the robots lol. ) I was doing every side mission as they popped up.. Before I would go onto the main mission that is.. I did.. end up finding a way to get to the other parts of the city in that save and.. It kinda caused an odd issue after they patched the way I got there lol. But I was still able to use the teleport system so it was not a game breaking moment. But almost was.. I actually kinda cared for the characters.. Not a lot of games have done that. The funny thing is I basically ended up making a sort of odd.. "Kind Assassin" character.. I was always choosing to be as good as possible to everyone. The ending I eventually went with.. Was to join the Nomad group that Panam is part of.. And yes Judy was also joining along the way.. I figured that was the best ending really. More so for the type of character I made. Its a game that deserves a lot more in my opinion.
I like the game and this game could have been better it also have potential to be a masterpiece but too bad it was never realize it sucks that this is not the game they marketed to us and this game was such a scam.
Ya they handled a lot of things so wrong, along with media and fans being at fault as wel for sure, but I couldn’t agree more there really is a special game underneath it all. Hopefully the dlc fixes the problems. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Your titles lately suck. Are you optimizing for search? I much more prefer wh question (do is too narrow)+bold statements (such as "Mass effect 1 - the best Mass effect"). "When to give up on a dream? Cyberpunk 2077 spoilers."
Ya I’ve been mixing it up some the recent ones have gotten a lot more views search optimization seems to help for smaller channels in my experience, trying to optimize search in title click ability in thumbnail
@@FranklyGaming Makes sense. Clickbait vs seo is hard choice, needs different approaches. Hope that you will utilize end card to promote your other videos.
@@FranklyGaming Agree. Like with programming - you get used to rejection. Sadly the feedback is not as fast and clear as with debugger in game making engine. Also iteration cycle for your analysis type of videos is long (good that you have shorts).
This really puts into words what I was thinking about this game I have never played a game like this were I actually cared about the NPC's they really feel interesting. I love playing the intro just to hang out with Jackie again, It feels like rewatching your favourite TV show. It definitely isn't all about the mechanics of the game but more so about the story, the characters and the journey through that.
I loved this game, when I completed it it was as a streetkid that I did a pretty good job making look just like me. I misunderstood the option I picked and I got the ending where you eat a bullet… I didn’t mean to, but as the camera pulled back from this mostly 1st person game, and showed a character that looked a lot like me- making the decision to end it- and feeling at piece with the decision and having Johnny back me up- it was something I really wasnt emotionally expecting…. Then the credits roll, hearing friends talk about me passing… it was a lot. Crazy… I reloaded my save and played thru with Panam and saw her father figure die at the hands of Smasher. Then played thru with Rogue and saw her go out more or less the same way… That first ending stuck with me though…. The way I ended up deciding to canonize it in my head is that those last two play through as we’re V thinking out what would happen to the ppl he had made Family if he tried this bombastic raid just to save my own skin…. And that’s when my V decided that the best option, the only real non selfish option, was to remove himself from the game. Call it a good run, cash in the chips…. And end it on his own terms. And it was preem… One of the strongest ends of any game I’ve played. It still really hits me…
The marketing for this game was so good that it probably caused most of the backlash. CDPR told us that we were getting Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA 5, and Fallout New Vegas all in one with a Cyberpunk theme. Then when the game launched it was buggier than Fallout 76. The thing is though, eventually the ps4 and xbox one consoles aren't going to be used anymore, performance will be good on all platforms, and updates will patch in most if not all of the things that everyone screams about on reddit. And yeah the story is great, probably equivalent to Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Panam is the best side character since Garrus Vakarian lol
Hey man thanks for taking the time to comment and watch. Ya I completely agree they made a ton of mistakes but my guess is this game will age very well
@@FranklyGaming Yep, a game with a good story never really becomes irrelevant. Fallout New Vegas is still relevant to this day for this reason. Also, when official modding tools get released Cyberpunk will be a blank canvas ready for modders to paint on. You'll be seeing flying cars, Call of Duty weapons, and Mickey Mouse Johnny Silverhand model swaps soon enough lol
Ngl, I think you could become a great Cyberpunk 2077 TH-camr. Most of the big ones ditched the game after launch, so you could definitely grow your channel on this. I know you want to be more of a variety channel with different types of videos on different games, but it might help to start off with a single game then grow your fan base off of that.
Hey dude really appreciate it and ya I actually thought about it my only problem is I’ve grinded one game and making content for it before and it makes it easier to grow but just takes all the fun out of it for me. Since I work a full time job and this isn’t something I would ever want to do full time unless I make 500k plus a year on it, I try to focus on doing what I love and working hard and making the best content I can I hope it grows
@@FranklyGaming the corpos told the devs to pull the plug. We will never get the true intention of this game, and the ones that suffer is the fans and Pondsmith. This was his baby, and the suits fucked him over... Fittingly just like they would in the tabletop.
Got to say I loved the outro on this one. The voice lines in this game are superb. When I took the quick way out on my first playthrough it shook me. I'd played probably 100hrs already up to that point, doing all the side stuff I could, just falling more and more in love with the game. Collecting people I'd come to love in my memory. Then those end credits roll and I was breathless and with goosebumps and by the time it got to Judy I was in tears. I'd set myself up for that, but as soon as it was over I knew I'd play this game again and again for years. I then did the Solo run and felt Judy and everyone slip away from me as I rose to the top. And then I made a new character. A street kid. And I had him go with the Aldecaldos and finally leave the city behind. This time for good.
Beautiful summary of your gameplay. THAT is what this game is about. It not only makes you feel, but it also lets you experience what happens when you don't. Stunning.
While I am still angry at what cdpr did to this game, I will give credit where credit is due. They absolutely nailed the story and music. Very very rarely do video games make such a touching story backed up by the some of the greatest soundtracks in gaming. The finale where V is finally being told that there is no hope for his survival is so well written and the music elevates that by literally making you feel the sensation of doom, fear and confusion by V. And its not just that, the music with Panam when you are getting closer to her and her family, pyramid song and hell even the radio stations. I only hope they expand and improve on the few things that differentiate their game from almost every other
Damn right don’t fear the reaper go brrr haha, ya honestly I thought all the endings were cool the video for me is about why I think the meaning of the star ending is so powerful and made this my favorite game ever I guess, thanks so much for watching by the way!
I've played few titles in live and only after full three parts of Mass Effect Trilogy for the first time I've felt connection to NPC's and I was authentically sad that there will be no more comments from Garrus, Wrex, Liara or Tali. The second game that made it was Cyberpunk 2077 (and who knows what future hold for this title, or maybe a series of games in this setting?). Also CP2077 was the first game I had enjoy more in my native language then in deafult english (which is in some parts is just better, but actor that is featuring Johnny Silverhand makes this character way more vibrant than Keanu Reeves).
I truly love this game. Are there a lot of bugs? Sure, but for me they weren't any worse than the average Bethesda release and there was nothing game breaking (Obsidian's The Outer Worlds actually had a game breaking bug that prevented me from finishing the story when I played it for the first time, which infuriated me a million times more than anything I encountered in Cyberpunk.) There's an incredibly powerful story with some truly amazing and unique characters here, and it saddens me that almost no one talks about them compared to all of the drama and bugs that surrounded the release. Hopefully one day people will learn to look at this game a little deeper and appreciate the beauty buried beneath the jank.
Couldn’t have said it better myself their is a reason this is probably my favorite game ever, the characters and journey they go on is great, thanks for watching and supporting!
Cyberpunk will undoubtedly age well. Not enough people realize that.
100% agree, I think some amazing dlc is coming that can hopefully turn the ship around. And even if it doesn’t nothing will ever make the core of this game not something special. Thanks for watching!

It kinda caused an odd issue after they patched the way I got there lol. But I was still able to use the teleport system so it was not a game breaking moment. But almost was..
I actually kinda cared for the characters.. Not a lot of games have done that. The funny thing is I basically ended up making a sort of odd.. "Kind Assassin" character.. I was always choosing to be as good as possible to everyone. The ending I eventually went with.. Was to join the Nomad group that Panam is part of.. And yes Judy was also joining along the way.. I figured that was the best ending really. More so for the type of character I made. Its a game that deserves a lot more in my opinion.
V's story would make an excellent trilogy
I love this game. I have 5 playthroughs on it for the exact reasons you mentioned
It really is so great, thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
THANK YOU!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
I love watching this video, what’s the instrumental at 3:00
Great video. What's the name of the song at the start please? From 0.47
7.26 too ...all the music choices in this video is on point !
Appreciate that dude thanks for watching! And let me see if I can find it most are from the cyberpunk sountrack
@@FranklyGaming thanks man, I was having a look but do many songs, couldn't find them.
@@onelove9493 still looking first one happens at the end of the game with Johnny and alt talking
@@FranklyGaming thank you! :)
Game is now great!
Pure af
OK vin diesel
LOL
I like the game and this game could have been better it also have potential to be a masterpiece but too bad it was never realize it sucks that this is not the game they marketed to us and this game was such a scam.
Ya they handled a lot of things so wrong, along with media and fans being at fault as wel for sure, but I couldn’t agree more there really is a special game underneath it all. Hopefully the dlc fixes the problems. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
@@FranklyGaming i hope cdpr give this game to comeback it needs
@@devondre79 I really think they will, we will see

Your titles lately suck. Are you optimizing for search? I much more prefer wh question (do is too narrow)+bold statements (such as "Mass effect 1 - the best Mass effect"). "When to give up on a dream? Cyberpunk 2077 spoilers."
Ya I’ve been mixing it up some the recent ones have gotten a lot more views search optimization seems to help for smaller channels in my experience, trying to optimize search in title click ability in thumbnail
@@FranklyGaming Makes sense. Clickbait vs seo is hard choice, needs different approaches. Hope that you will utilize end card to promote your other videos.
@@copiumkiller ya started doing that too! But ya kinda just have to keep trying stuff till it works,
@@FranklyGaming Agree. Like with programming - you get used to rejection. Sadly the feedback is not as fast and clear as with debugger in game making engine. Also iteration cycle for your analysis type of videos is long (good that you have shorts).
This really puts into words what I was thinking about this game I have never played a game like this were I actually cared about the NPC's they really feel interesting. I love playing the intro just to hang out with Jackie again, It feels like rewatching your favourite TV show. It definitely isn't all about the mechanics of the game but more so about the story, the characters and the journey through that.
Hey man I’m glad you feel the same way! Thanks for watching and commenting, the characters really are amazing
This... this is so true. When I finished cyberpunk I wasn't mad at the direction of the story, but the fact that it ended great video!
Really appreciate the kind words thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
I loved this game, when I completed it it was as a streetkid that I did a pretty good job making look just like me. I misunderstood the option I picked and I got the ending where you eat a bullet… I didn’t mean to, but as the camera pulled back from this mostly 1st person game, and showed a character that looked a lot like me- making the decision to end it- and feeling at piece with the decision and having Johnny back me up- it was something I really wasnt emotionally expecting…. Then the credits roll, hearing friends talk about me passing… it was a lot. Crazy…
I reloaded my save and played thru with Panam and saw her father figure die at the hands of Smasher. Then played thru with Rogue and saw her go out more or less the same way…
That first ending stuck with me though…. The way I ended up deciding to canonize it in my head is that those last two play through as we’re V thinking out what would happen to the ppl he had made Family if he tried this bombastic raid just to save my own skin…. And that’s when my V decided that the best option, the only real non selfish option, was to remove himself from the game. Call it a good run, cash in the chips…. And end it on his own terms. And it was preem…
One of the strongest ends of any game I’ve played. It still really hits me…
The marketing for this game was so good that it probably caused most of the backlash. CDPR told us that we were getting Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA 5, and Fallout New Vegas all in one with a Cyberpunk theme. Then when the game launched it was buggier than Fallout 76. The thing is though, eventually the ps4 and xbox one consoles aren't going to be used anymore, performance will be good on all platforms, and updates will patch in most if not all of the things that everyone screams about on reddit. And yeah the story is great, probably equivalent to Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Panam is the best side character since Garrus Vakarian lol
Hey man thanks for taking the time to comment and watch. Ya I completely agree they made a ton of mistakes but my guess is this game will age very well
@@FranklyGaming Yep, a game with a good story never really becomes irrelevant. Fallout New Vegas is still relevant to this day for this reason. Also, when official modding tools get released Cyberpunk will be a blank canvas ready for modders to paint on. You'll be seeing flying cars, Call of Duty weapons, and Mickey Mouse Johnny Silverhand model swaps soon enough lol
@@ryaneverett830 the dream haha
@@ryaneverett830 Totally agree. "Trails in the sky" trilogy is 15 years old and "Chrono trigger" 25. Still they are as playable as those years ago.
They never said that... They even said »Don't expect it to be GTA«
Ngl, I think you could become a great Cyberpunk 2077 TH-camr. Most of the big ones ditched the game after launch, so you could definitely grow your channel on this. I know you want to be more of a variety channel with different types of videos on different games, but it might help to start off with a single game then grow your fan base off of that.
Hey dude really appreciate it and ya I actually thought about it my only problem is I’ve grinded one game and making content for it before and it makes it easier to grow but just takes all the fun out of it for me. Since I work a full time job and this isn’t something I would ever want to do full time unless I make 500k plus a year on it, I try to focus on doing what I love and working hard and making the best content I can I hope it grows
@@FranklyGaming wish you all the luck and love
@@kaushalsuvarna5156 appreciate it ❤️
Why is this game so short!!!!!! 😭😭😭
Always could use more cyberpunk haha
@@FranklyGaming the corpos told the devs to pull the plug. We will never get the true intention of this game, and the ones that suffer is the fans and Pondsmith. This was his baby, and the suits fucked him over...
Fittingly just like they would in the tabletop.
Beautiful video man …keep going , your channel will definitely blow up ✨
Thanks so much man I really appreciate that! ❤️
Got to say I loved the outro on this one. The voice lines in this game are superb. When I took the quick way out on my first playthrough it shook me. I'd played probably 100hrs already up to that point, doing all the side stuff I could, just falling more and more in love with the game. Collecting people I'd come to love in my memory. Then those end credits roll and I was breathless and with goosebumps and by the time it got to Judy I was in tears. I'd set myself up for that, but as soon as it was over I knew I'd play this game again and again for years. I then did the Solo run and felt Judy and everyone slip away from me as I rose to the top. And then I made a new character. A street kid. And I had him go with the Aldecaldos and finally leave the city behind. This time for good.
Thanks for watching as always!
Beautiful summary of your gameplay. THAT is what this game is about. It not only makes you feel, but it also lets you experience what happens when you don't. Stunning.
You must love this game very much, one hears in your words. I can't play it, i have no platform.
I still play my psp and xbox 360 :)
Don't mind waiting, still many good games to play
👍
Thanks for all the thumbs up haha
While I am still angry at what cdpr did to this game, I will give credit where credit is due. They absolutely nailed the story and music. Very very rarely do video games make such a touching story backed up by the some of the greatest soundtracks in gaming.
The finale where V is finally being told that there is no hope for his survival is so well written and the music elevates that by literally making you feel the sensation of doom, fear and confusion by V. And its not just that, the music with Panam when you are getting closer to her and her family, pyramid song and hell even the radio stations. I only hope they expand and improve on the few things that differentiate their game from almost every other
That was such a good video... i loved the game the same way you did and the endings were so fucking great!
Thanks for all the comments on the videos man ❤️
This whole video basically ; "The Star Ending" is best.
Me as a unhinged Solo ; "Don't Fear The Reaper" go brrrrrr.
Damn right don’t fear the reaper go brrr haha, ya honestly I thought all the endings were cool the video for me is about why I think the meaning of the star ending is so powerful and made this my favorite game ever I guess, thanks so much for watching by the way!
I've played few titles in live and only after full three parts of Mass Effect Trilogy for the first time I've felt connection to NPC's and I was authentically sad that there will be no more comments from Garrus, Wrex, Liara or Tali. The second game that made it was Cyberpunk 2077 (and who knows what future hold for this title, or maybe a series of games in this setting?). Also CP2077 was the first game I had enjoy more in my native language then in deafult english (which is in some parts is just better, but actor that is featuring Johnny Silverhand makes this character way more vibrant than Keanu Reeves).
Awesome to hear you enjoyed it too, thanks for watching!
I truly love this game. Are there a lot of bugs? Sure, but for me they weren't any worse than the average Bethesda release and there was nothing game breaking (Obsidian's The Outer Worlds actually had a game breaking bug that prevented me from finishing the story when I played it for the first time, which infuriated me a million times more than anything I encountered in Cyberpunk.) There's an incredibly powerful story with some truly amazing and unique characters here, and it saddens me that almost no one talks about them compared to all of the drama and bugs that surrounded the release. Hopefully one day people will learn to look at this game a little deeper and appreciate the beauty buried beneath the jank.
Couldn’t have said it better myself their is a reason this is probably my favorite game ever, the characters and journey they go on is great, thanks for watching and supporting!
what a beautiful video
Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching the support means a lot!
@@FranklyGaming I really hope one day people can view the game in the same light that you do, in the meantime. I hope to see more videos like this :)
