Having medical care isn't a fantasy in my country we all have it for about 200€ for one year even if you don't have one you still get treatment paid by our social security provided by the state greats fom Belgium
But you can't afford medical care in 2077? That is part of the point. Corpo V loses access to Trauma Team membership when story starts and I'm pretty sure it doesn't get back. And V's healthcare needs are so complicated it's impossible to heal in the base game.
Yeah, it's a random encounter. If you look in the mirror enough times, you can see it more than once. But yeah, didn't know about it the first time I saw it and that did freak me out just a moment.
Man I was so disappointed with the corpo plaza apartment. The Glen apartment is definitely the nicest. The amazing view and architecture almost makes you forget about all the homeless fellas across the block that probably used to live in this building before it got gentrified!
There was only going to be one winner of this, namely The Glenn, and I agree with the entire list you’ve laid out. It’s actually a little bizarre to me how nice V’s apartment is at the start of the game, as most are a downgrade on it.
I feel like they had to balance the first apartment between where you'd expect each of the three lifepaths to live. Would have been cool if each lifepath started in a different apartment, and then you could acquire the others as you go.@@nirktheman-thingstab-cutter
@Ron-uj5vs Agree. I know they gave a damn good reason, but the corpo start was so bad bc you just get immediately knocked down after like 5 minutes. I made her look all corpo fancy only to then immediately need to change her appearance lol (It's still fine something to work back up to. But I feel like it could have still had some more elements from their corpo life in the starting apartment, and such)
I'm gonna defend the corpo apartment for a minute. I just love how modern it feels. The colour scheme is great, the weapon room is completely unique from all other weapon rooms, the view isn't actually that bad, and it's a place I would probably get if I lived in night city. I know a lot of people love the Glen, but for me personally, I just enjoy spending time in the corpo apartment
the only real downsides from it are its lack of easy parking and that the front door opens every time you walk too close to it otherwise its great, clean interior, excess of activities (tea, coffee, drinking & smoking, 2 computers) also one of only 2 places where you can get a free coffee buff and its general central location make it 2nd to the glen for me if it had a place to park when I dont have to get a star from hitting an npc with my car it would be very close to number 1
The Glen Penthouse seems to have a nice balance of old and new, the brickwork with the railings, it's nice enough so to speak and is incredibly cozy and all that practicality. A fine choice, Sam. I raise a glass to you. 🍷
I love the Glen Loft Apartment. First im obsessed with loft apartments and second I actually feel the safest in that apartment. I suppose Corpo would be safe too but idk
I lived in one of the last few illegal loft apartments in beantown while in college, many many years ago. It wasn't nearly as nice as the glen, but had that same exposed brick, open loft platform for the bedroom, with a bathroom that was essentially just three stick built walls around a showerstall, shitter, and sink. You could look down into it from the platform. The Glen gives me nostalgia vibes like I can't express, and makes me long for a place that was probably giving me black lung while i lived there. The Glen will always be my favorite.
This is great! One teensy thing I'd like to point out about the Northside Apartment. You can enter and search several of the other apartments there, and in one of them is an ICONIC Netrunning Deck. Shocked the hell out of me when I found it! Specifically apartment number 1241in a case sitting on the couch against the back wall.
6:00. Seeing Johnny when we looked into the mirror was around since the early days of Cyberpunk 2077(the version before patch 1.63), it was rare, and I've only had it happen to me twice. When it triggered for me, it was Johnny recoiling in shock while V gasped "Oh Fuck!" Also something I noticed that might have been taken out was when you were free roaming around the map and V would have a relic attack randomly.
After waking up in the apartment after The Heist and having the initial fight with Johnny, he showed up in the mirror when I looked immediately after. Not sure if it was just really good luck but that’s the only time it’s happened to me.
I only ever had the relic attacks when I refused to be nice to Johnny. I used to get them in free roam constantly. I’ve only ever refused to be friendly to him in one playthrough and that was on base game when it released.
If I could bring Nibbles to the Glen it would be perfect. It is my favorite for the style comfort. It also feels like it would be the easiest to customize since it has such an open layout.
My fav is probably Japantown, not the flashiest, but its got 3 important things for me. The incense burner, i love incense irl and its just nice to have in my fake appartment too. The guitar, its wierd such a cool interactive item isnt available in the higher end appartments, but its just nice to let V tap into their inner punk, or even kind of let Johnny take over and enjoy himself on the guitar again. And its one of the most intimate appartments while hanging with your romance partner. The Megabuilding one is in 2nd purely for those mirror interactions which i pray they add onto the other appartments eventually.
Corpo Plaza is definitely my favourite, just feels right on my Corpo Netrunner V. Good security measures, receptionist working at all times and face/id scanners to access the elevator. Right next to Arasaka HQ, response time would be immediate if something happened assuming they’re responsible for security on the premises. Elegant lobby & halls before entering the apartment itself that adds a lot of life and immersion to the building. All it needs is roof access with a nice terrace/pads for AVs and it would be perfect.
The H10 is really all you need, but I think the Glen and Japantown apartments are great as well. Japantown is better situated when you're doing jobs on the east side, and the Glen for the south of the city and Dogtown. Speaking of which, besides the night I spent there with Myers, I never used the place again
@@rabblerouser5301 In fact you can, you should fix the water pump that is inside the apartment. It’s not in plain sight, but if I remember correctly, you exit the ‘office’ where the bed is, go to the left, and there against the wall, behind a large box that is there, you will find the pump. You repair it and the bathroom becomes functional
All i wanted was a house in the North Oak suburbs🙂, I sort of wanted a three tier type levels of apartments, for example. A starter corpo apartment like a capsule, second tier like the actual corpo plaza apartment and the final tier being a penthouse like the Peralez's crib. And let my romance option live with me (I meant with what happened to Judy's roommate, letting her live there still felt wrong) ... but awesome video btw ... and Corpo Plaza is my choice
Definitely the glen, although I’m definitely enjoying V’s original one this time with all the trinkets from side missions. Seriously though how was PL not nominated for best ost, it’s crazy
The Corpo apartment is my fave and it doesn't seem to get enough love. The secured entrance with the robot doorman is cool and I love this little lounge area outside the apartment. Inside it's simple yet luxurious. Overpriced? maybe, however it's clean and sheik. It especially looks good at night, and it has the best workshop area. Obtaining the place feels like you really moving up in the world as a rising star in Night City
I also think it's fantastic in a character/worldbuilding sense. It really feels like a company pad that mid to upper level employees in a megacorp get. Sure it's luxurious but you are still firmly in the chocking grasp of the corporation with the advertisements over your bed and the view from the window making it seem like the towering office buildings are resting on top of you.
My favorite apartment is the Japantown one, I never had the problem with the guy screaming because uh... I always visit him first before realizing where I am in the map. I love how cozy it is, I love the guitar thing.
I also would like to add that the building that Regina Jones is in would be an awesome place for a custom hideout. The view at night from Regina's floor is one of the best...I think anyways.
The Glen Apartment is most definitely number 1! Very nice analysis of each place. I used to live in a loft which had a spiral staircase when I lived in North Phoenix. Definitely one of the nicest places I've ever lived.
Have you never seen the mirror "glitch" with Johnny before? I saw it a few times at the original apartment between 1.0 and 1.6, but I haven't seen it since. Before when the relic attacks used to happen more often, and you were coughing, looking in the mirror would make it happen every time. I haven't seen it since then, I thought they removed it.
@@La-PetitMort I do wonder if at some point during the updates, they gave this little animation some prerequisites to occur. Like if you're seeing it pretty often, is it at a certain apartment, while you're wearing certain clothes, or after you've completed missions of a certain storyline? I can't figure it out. Seems pretty inconsistent. I think I've seen it once or twice since 1.6.
Megabuilding H10 is also the only apartment with an included garage for a few cars without mods, the gig reward vehicles are parked there if you never went to pick them up or call them out. Aesthetically though, the Glen has the least "homey" feel with the industrial design, but best amenities for the player. Overall my favorite apartment is Japantown simply because the interactive guitar, It's something I had really been wanting before patch 1.5 and was a personally gratifying addition. The outside noises can be annoying as you said there's an easy fix.
I was about to comment this too, that makes it even more versatile as an apartment. Although to be fair, it is a very overlooked feature that isn't immediatly obvious
I'm quite new to the game, as I bought it on a black Friday deal. But I chose the Glen apartment mainly due to it being the most central. Without having seen it before. Very nice to know I chose the right one.... ; ) Though I still use the original loads because as you say the travel point is right outside your door. Cheers
Not sure if it's fixed yet, but a word of caution for the Lizzy Wizzy BD can trigger a bug that will freeze normal in game clock (waiting and sleeping moves the clock, but it won't move otherwise). Not the biggest deal unless you're trying to get the monster truck. The only fix is "time skips", where you have to sit and wait for quests.
My one problem with the Glen apartment is the elevator door just sitting there open with a gate in front of it. I wish there was a hallway first or it just closed completely. its oddly un-cozy
Personally I love ALL of the apartments (the ones V can buy/own), they all have their own unique character and as a roleplaying nut I like to sleep in a diff apartment depending on how I'm/V's feeling at the time.
Johnny in the mirror started back in like 1.3 or a bit later, it is very rare however. As for the ranking, I'd have to put the corpo apartment at the top of my list
I personally choose Japantown over every other apartment (except Vs cuz its iconic) because it feels like the kind of place i would own in real life if i was on my own. The only thing i'd change in that regard would be having an upright piano (it would sit flush with one of the walls) or a Keyboard due to that being the instrument i play
The Johnny mirror feature is a rare encounter that has existed probably since launch, but my eddies are more on 1.6 since that’s when I first saw this area.
I know the Glen apartment is the most popular, but I personally love the Corpo apartment the most. It just has that sleek, luxurious aesthetic that I really dig, and I also like that it isn't located in a shady part of town 😂 Both the cleanliness and minimalism were two of its selling points, once I got the Corpo apartment I never went anywhere else
My personal favorite is gonna be Corpo Plaza tbh. Because what am I really gonna do in the apartment, except stash, coffee and sleep for the buffs. And it definitely has the nicest stash, that actually looks professional.
Glen is still my favourite, it´s very good looking, comfortable and looks like a place I and V would spend time in. V´s original apartment is second, because it houses all the collectibles but really wish you could transfer them to the other apartments to make one of them the real primary one
Japantown & Northside Apartment are my favorites for different reasons. I like Japantown's aesthetic, the guitar, miniature statue, & incense with the cozy feel. Northside is like a secret base & I dig the hole in the wall armory. I just wish we could move the cat to our preferred home.
@16:18 And that Ladies and Gentlemen is the Prime Reason why I ignore all of the other Apartments besides the default one... Not having to wait like friggin' AGES to get into or out of the Shack is from a Fast Travel Access Point kinda a huge deal for me... 😑
6:07 I’m sure you’ve gotten this comment by now but jic that’s been in the game for awhile, but it’s great you didn’t know about it beforehand. That happened organically to me too and it startled me quite a bit. I wish they’d gone further with the reality blend/breakdown between V and Johnny, but I get that’s a fine line between something groundbreakingly artistic and Indigo Prophecy lmao
What would have been nice with having your romance partners over would have been to have them have new dialog choices after certain events. Like how Panam talks about how "Have you heard about xxxx" and V tells her he was involved and he can tell her about it later. Being at one of the apartments would have been a perfect place to be able to tell them the full story of each of those events and help keep the "I want to stay at your place" quests feeling fresher
I just wish that who ever you bring over can do more there or you can randomly walk in on them at your apartment. Like the Glenn, how cool it would be to walk in and they are cooking or something or you can cook for them. Idk just felt sort of hollow
A feature of the H10 Apartment is that it's mildly customisable. Logging onto V's computer you can go to an apartment Website, switch to style and change colours. There's about 5 unchangable presets, and each costs 10,000
Good video sir, but I love Judy's apartment, one of my favs. Also going to your gf's place to spend the night is kinda cute. Close to access point, cool design and loaded with history :)
I kind of like the Dogtown Suite for its post apocalyptic chic, if that makes since. Like a place Tank Girl would squat in. Also, telling by a note left on Meyer’s makeshift desk in the apartment after the missions were done, Jacob and Taylor probably got their Rayfeild.
Really wish that if you moved to a new apartment, you could take your pets with you. That's why V's starting apartment will forever by the apartment I use.
I really wasn't expecting any new voice lines before patch 2.1 came out. If they literally couldn't record voice lines for a certain character that doesn't even show up in one of the endings then.... 🤔
One thing you gotta remember though is that [Redacted] does have new voice lines in the expansion, they just chose to not give them any for the ending. That's not a lazy or availability issue, that's an artistic choice at that point. Now whether you like or agree with that choice is a whole different thing, but it's not like the couldn't. It's on purpose. That being said, there being zero new voice lines here and for the most part just reused assets/animations being stitched together probably hints that this was an after thought QoL thing they put together since there was so much demand for more romantic interactions post 2.0.
Only problem with having your partner over is it needs more Dialogue instead of only getting to ask them 2 questions, but yeah... hands down the Glen apartment is my favorite
I agree, the Glen apartment is the best one by far. I've always liked warehouse style apartments with big lofts and the glen has a nice combination of class and comfort. Not overly stuffy like corpo but not as simple as the H10 apartment.
The h10 apartment is inaccessible from outside the building when you’re wanted so it’s a poor sanctuary for those of us who like to cause mayhem. This renders it less useful than the others under those circumstances.
8:53 the Sandi WILL spawn at the location you showed, and other locations shown by other TH-camrs, IF you’re level 40 or up. Most TH-camrs are over lvl 40 when they find it, most people looking for free ones are below level 40 so it causes a lot of confusion
The Glen is undefeated hands down with Japan town coming in second for how zen and cozy it is. Both with great views. OG Watson Apartment comes in third for its amazing view and fast travel right outside the door. Northside Apartment fourth as a cool efficiency spot with nice lighting. Fifth is the corpo spot which is dope but not much character and terrible view. The rest aren't worth mentioning.
The Laptop guy in public tent toilet provides synth/lo fi aesthetic to your gooo while providing conversation and odor control. Gives encouragement, hand holding or even a cyber wipe for those hangover days.
Agree with your nu,mber one, I've always loved the "I took a warehouse and made it into a really nice home" aesthetic. I've also never understood why the game starts you with such a good player home. They should have started in a crappy, tiny apartment even worse then the 10k one, so then we would have an actual reason to buy more and get excited about it.
As an architecture student, a as someone who understands interior decoration, The Glen loft is absolutely perfect. That urban style cobined with the double height "bedroom", the views, the library, everything just fits so well, plus it feels kinda comfy
One minor correction on the major leagues penthouse. V's Watson penthouse is not the same penthouse Lucy and David lived in as theirs was situated somewhere in Japantown facing the spaceport.
Honestly while not super thematic with cyberpunk, i kind kf wish there was a slow dance option for your partners. Or swing dancing. Beeing spun around by river. I gentle slow rocking with kerry, focus on the sensation of touch the two of you share, and emphasis on the softer side of Kerry's bravado. Taking Panam out of her confort zone with a jazzy swing dance. And for Judy, well judy is tough for me to place a finger on. Cause i think she would love a slow gentle waltz, and just being close to V. But i dont know if a waltz fits her so much as just any slow dance so she could forget about night city for once and focus on "this". I do hope the next game expands romance and interaction animations as a whole. V drinking and eating food would have been nice, and kept with immersion. Plus, seeing more preset camera angles would be great. CDPR knows how to set a scene, and i would love to be lost in the scene more.
Enjoying the glen, view is great only thing missing is a walkout patio for coffee, being able to visit Panam's tent as a weekend camping trip for some fresh air & campfire fun sounds good.
The most immersion breaking moment for me in this game is how V’s starter apartment in a mega building; a structure supposedly made for cheap housing and to combat overpopulation in night city, is still bigger than most inner city apartments.
Congrats Sam, this video is blowing up! Just goes to show how good your CP2077 content is and how popular the game is 3 years and end of development on
Not if the windows were double glazed and it had cavity wall insulation. Though tbf irl I'd probably add more rugs. Carpet feels warmer than hard flooring. Personally I've always liked the idea of one of those open upper floors though
Wow CDPR really managed to give Panam, Judy, and River some of the worst dance moves that rival Commander Shepard himself.
Commander on deck! 🥳
Don’t forget Vs god awful moves
@@dariusjackson3138I love how his “moves” are just wavy hands heheh
@@dariusjackson3138 Oh God how could I?
Not worse than the clubbers in Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines
Cyberpunk 2077 lets you live out your wildest fantasies, like being able to afford real estate and medical care.
I have a feeling these prices are monthly rent... V just doesn't have that problem
@@SamBram Oh god, no wonder there are so many homeless people in Night City!
@@SamBram Cut out the middleman and pay your rent with slightly used 2nd hand firearms.
Having medical care isn't a fantasy in my country we all have it for about 200€ for one year even if you don't have one you still get treatment paid by our social security provided by the state greats fom Belgium
But you can't afford medical care in 2077? That is part of the point. Corpo V loses access to Trauma Team membership when story starts and I'm pretty sure it doesn't get back.
And V's healthcare needs are so complicated it's impossible to heal in the base game.
V's starting apartment is the only one that can home Nibbles and the Iguana. That makes it the best if you want pets.
Considering how hard animals are to come by. This is a steal
Mods
And mementos as well
Nibbles

Johnny appearing in the mirror isn't new. Happened in my first playthrough, but in the H10 apartment.
Same. I just figured it's a semi random Relic glitch, indicating the degradation of V's identity.
Yeah, it's a random encounter. If you look in the mirror enough times, you can see it more than once. But yeah, didn't know about it the first time I saw it and that did freak me out just a moment.
It's not completely random. Johnny shows up in the mirror if you don't feed or hydrate V for awhile.
I legit jumped the very first time it happened to me
@@u.a.perfectace7786No it's completely random. He shows up as like a random comedy moment. V literally says "WTF?"
Man I was so disappointed with the corpo plaza apartment. The Glen apartment is definitely the nicest. The amazing view and architecture almost makes you forget about all the homeless fellas across the block that probably used to live in this building before it got gentrified!
And why is that video thing over the bed in Corpo Plaza? One of the huge pluses for the Glen is you don't have one of those ugly things
Corpo is good for roleplay, as corpo V; embracing merc life, but they still enjoy the comforts of their old life.
Yeah corpo plaza apt is the worst imo
Yeah, I was at least expecting a two story apartment since the Glen is 2 stories.
Only downside is the long loading screen disguised as an elevator

Megabuilding H10 is also the only apartment with an included garage for a few cars without mods, the gig reward vehicles are parked there if you never went to pick them up or call them out.
Aesthetically though, the Glen has the least "homey" feel with the industrial design, but best amenities for the player.
Overall my favorite apartment is Japantown simply because the interactive guitar,
It's something I had really been wanting before patch 1.5 and was a personally gratifying addition.
The outside noises can be annoying as you said there's an easy fix.
Can't believe you didn't mention V's apartment 4 different makeover (settings color) and for me it's a game changer right there with the pets.
I was about to comment this too, that makes it even more versatile as an apartment. Although to be fair, it is a very overlooked feature that isn't immediatly obvious
How is that? You can change your interior color scheme?
@@Oiak1086yes, you can purchase a few different palettes to change your apartments color in the megastructure
@@bluegem8582 I found it, thank you! 🙂👍
How do u change the colors in 200+ hours in and didn't know that
I'm quite new to the game, as I bought it on a black Friday deal.
But I chose the Glen apartment mainly due to it being the most central.
Without having seen it before.
Very nice to know I chose the right one.... ; )
Though I still use the original loads because as you say the travel point is right outside your door.
Cheers
I’m also new to the game and went with the Glen. Super happy with my decision. Love the vibes sm💙
Not sure if it's fixed yet, but a word of caution for the Lizzy Wizzy BD can trigger a bug that will freeze normal in game clock (waiting and sleeping moves the clock, but it won't move otherwise).
Not the biggest deal unless you're trying to get the monster truck. The only fix is "time skips", where you have to sit and wait for quests.
Thank you for the heads up
this has been patched supposedly in the latest update and for game saves currently affected you need only sleep again to get rid of the bug.
i also get this bug when doing replayable street races
My one problem with the Glen apartment is the elevator door just sitting there open with a gate in front of it. I wish there was a hallway first or it just closed completely. its oddly un-cozy
Totally agree
Personally I love ALL of the apartments (the ones V can buy/own), they all have their own unique character and as a roleplaying nut I like to sleep in a diff apartment depending on how I'm/V's feeling at the time.
Found it funny when you mentioned washing dishes in the bathroom sink for the Japantown apartment because that was a well known bug in the SIms 4.
the dancing is hilarious, the way you and your partner just shuffle around in the middle of the floor
Johnny in the mirror started back in like 1.3 or a bit later, it is very rare however. As for the ranking, I'd have to put the corpo apartment at the top of my list
it started with 1.0 I honestly think it might have went away with 1.3
@@DrivingGod21
Happened to me the other night in 2.1.
@@Jaslath I don't mean went away completely, it just used to happen way more often.
@@DrivingGod21
*I don't mean went away completely*
Ah, gotcha. Your comment does read that way but we understand each other now.
@@Jaslath yeah that was 100% my fault. I commented on some other posts a similar thing, and didn't really give you much context here. :)
I personally choose Japantown over every other apartment (except Vs cuz its iconic) because it feels like the kind of place i would own in real life if i was on my own. The only thing i'd change in that regard would be having an upright piano (it would sit flush with one of the walls) or a Keyboard due to that being the instrument i play
Don't forget, H10 is the only apartment you can redecorate (change colours). So that's another unique feature there.
You just reminded me of this feature, I forgot about it considering you need to use your desktop in the apartment to change it.
Oh lord i didnt know that! Thank you!
WHAT
i been trying to figure out how to even get it
@@justdragogames at the computer and at the makeover tab on the real estate page.
enjoying your comedic side rising up to the foreground in this review
The Johnny mirror feature is a rare encounter that has existed probably since launch, but my eddies are more on 1.6 since that’s when I first saw this area.
I know the Glen apartment is the most popular, but I personally love the Corpo apartment the most. It just has that sleek, luxurious aesthetic that I really dig, and I also like that it isn't located in a shady part of town 😂 Both the cleanliness and minimalism were two of its selling points, once I got the Corpo apartment I never went anywhere else
The mirror experience at 6:12 has always happened if you look at any mirror while having a relic malfunction
My personal favorite is gonna be Corpo Plaza tbh. Because what am I really gonna do in the apartment, except stash, coffee and sleep for the buffs.
And it definitely has the nicest stash, that actually looks professional.
Glen is still my favourite, it´s very good looking, comfortable and looks like a place I and V would spend time in. V´s original apartment is second, because it houses all the collectibles but really wish you could transfer them to the other apartments to make one of them the real primary one
Japantown & Northside Apartment are my favorites for different reasons. I like Japantown's aesthetic, the guitar, miniature statue, & incense with the cozy feel. Northside is like a secret base & I dig the hole in the wall armory. I just wish we could move the cat to our preferred home.
13:48 its not dishonored, its scorpion from mortal kombat
he said its scorpions action figure which reminds him of dishonored
@16:18 And that Ladies and Gentlemen is the Prime Reason why I ignore all of the other Apartments besides the default one... Not having to wait like friggin' AGES to get into or out of the Shack is from a Fast Travel Access Point kinda a huge deal for me... 😑
Considering how much you’ve played this game, I’m surprised you never experienced the Johnny silverhand mirror reflection thing
6:07 I’m sure you’ve gotten this comment by now but jic that’s been in the game for awhile, but it’s great you didn’t know about it beforehand. That happened organically to me too and it startled me quite a bit. I wish they’d gone further with the reality blend/breakdown between V and Johnny, but I get that’s a fine line between something groundbreakingly artistic and Indigo Prophecy lmao
I like to think #1 is the Major Leagues apartment Jackie would get if he was alive. I buy that one every playthough.
I just discovered the Glen and it captured my heart. Between Japantown and that, those are my favorite living spaces
What would have been nice with having your romance partners over would have been to have them have new dialog choices after certain events. Like how Panam talks about how "Have you heard about xxxx" and V tells her he was involved and he can tell her about it later. Being at one of the apartments would have been a perfect place to be able to tell them the full story of each of those events and help keep the "I want to stay at your place" quests feeling fresher
6:12 has been in the game since launch it just happens randomly after being infected for so long
Love the vids BTW!
Kerry's Villa reminds me of bojack horseman, not only the apartment but the vibe of loneliness and depression
The Glen and Japantown appartments are by far my favourites, but for me the latter is a bit better due to overall coziness.
I just wish that who ever you bring over can do more there or you can randomly walk in on them at your apartment. Like the Glenn, how cool it would be to walk in and they are cooking or something or you can cook for them. Idk just felt sort of hollow
I mean they keep doing a bunch of updates so maybe we’ll get it in the future or somebody will make a mod for it
A feature of the H10 Apartment is that it's mildly customisable.
Logging onto V's computer you can go to an apartment Website, switch to style and change colours.
There's about 5 unchangable presets, and each costs 10,000
the johnny in the mirror has been in the game for ages
4:07 & 13:07 the background music is Pyramid Song but slower and more ethereal, do you have a link to it?
Good video sir, but I love Judy's apartment, one of my favs. Also going to your gf's place to spend the night is kinda cute. Close to access point, cool design and loaded with history :)
Japan town for vacations, Dogtown for main hq. I love Dogtown too much, reminds me of war and buddies at the front
HOLY CRAP. I DID NOT KNOW YOU COULD A MAXTAC UNIFORM AT JUDY'S!!!
When you see Johnny’s Reflection in the mirror means your character was hungry. I’ve played like 600-700 hours only seen it happen once.
Came for Panam, stayed for the aldecados
I kind of like the Dogtown Suite for its post apocalyptic chic, if that makes since. Like a place Tank Girl would squat in.
Also, telling by a note left on Meyer’s makeshift desk in the apartment after the missions were done, Jacob and Taylor probably got their Rayfeild.
Really wish that if you moved to a new apartment, you could take your pets with you. That's why V's starting apartment will forever by the apartment I use.
If you’ve stopped fast traveling, Corpo is the most central. Coffee puts it over the top. Practicality.
I really wasn't expecting any new voice lines before patch 2.1 came out. If they literally couldn't record voice lines for a certain character that doesn't even show up in one of the endings then.... 🤔
One thing you gotta remember though is that [Redacted] does have new voice lines in the expansion, they just chose to not give them any for the ending. That's not a lazy or availability issue, that's an artistic choice at that point. Now whether you like or agree with that choice is a whole different thing, but it's not like the couldn't. It's on purpose. That being said, there being zero new voice lines here and for the most part just reused assets/animations being stitched together probably hints that this was an after thought QoL thing they put together since there was so much demand for more romantic interactions post 2.0.
@@odretro5617 nah I think that's lazy
the dumpster is nice and cozy, even got a lid and a soft bed
13:43 The scorpion figure reminds Sam of dishonored??
I scrolled too far to get to this.
Only problem with having your partner over is it needs more Dialogue instead of only getting to ask them 2 questions, but yeah... hands down the Glen apartment is my favorite
I agree, the Glen apartment is the best one by far. I've always liked warehouse style apartments with big lofts and the glen has a nice combination of class and comfort. Not overly stuffy like corpo but not as simple as the H10 apartment.
I pissed myself laughing at the kid staring at the wall 😂😂
0:55 Done the mission to find the kipnapped kid where i found drugs in his bathroom, i'm sure he is not the only 1 on drugs.
The h10 apartment is inaccessible from outside the building when you’re wanted so it’s a poor sanctuary for those of us who like to cause mayhem. This renders it less useful than the others under those circumstances.
10:47 River dancing like that meme of that skeleton bending over and moving its hips left and right
Ha that butt slap synced to the which one is best
Editing is fun sometimes :)
8:53 the Sandi WILL spawn at the location you showed, and other locations shown by other TH-camrs, IF you’re level 40 or up. Most TH-camrs are over lvl 40 when they find it, most people looking for free ones are below level 40 so it causes a lot of confusion
Pretty harsh calling River's house worse than a literally collapsing apartment
It's not even his house and nothing cool happens there
Playing laser tag with kids? That's about it
@@KaitouKaiju River is cool but I hate the fact we never see his own home in the Glen.
Corpo Plaza is my favorite. Love everything modern.
The Glen is undefeated hands down with Japan town coming in second for how zen and cozy it is. Both with great views. OG Watson Apartment comes in third for its amazing view and fast travel right outside the door. Northside Apartment fourth as a cool efficiency spot with nice lighting. Fifth is the corpo spot which is dope but not much character and terrible view. The rest aren't worth mentioning.
The Laptop guy in public tent toilet provides synth/lo fi aesthetic to your gooo while providing conversation and odor control. Gives encouragement, hand holding or even a cyber wipe for those hangover days.
Agree with your nu,mber one, I've always loved the "I took a warehouse and made it into a really nice home" aesthetic. I've also never understood why the game starts you with such a good player home. They should have started in a crappy, tiny apartment even worse then the 10k one, so then we would have an actual reason to buy more and get excited about it.
V literally owning a corpo plaza
Also V forgot to pay his apartment rent
Glad to see your #1 was my #1. It really speaks to my personality so it was my first choice when doing this in the new update
As an architecture student, a as someone who understands interior decoration, The Glen loft is absolutely perfect. That urban style cobined with the double height "bedroom", the views, the library, everything just fits so well, plus it feels kinda comfy
Whichever one Panam likes most is what I like most
The Glen one is by far my favourite for the clean design :)
One minor correction on the major leagues penthouse. V's Watson penthouse is not the same penthouse Lucy and David lived in as theirs was situated somewhere in Japantown facing the spaceport.
Honestly while not super thematic with cyberpunk, i kind kf wish there was a slow dance option for your partners. Or swing dancing. Beeing spun around by river. I gentle slow rocking with kerry, focus on the sensation of touch the two of you share, and emphasis on the softer side of Kerry's bravado.
Taking Panam out of her confort zone with a jazzy swing dance. And for Judy, well judy is tough for me to place a finger on. Cause i think she would love a slow gentle waltz, and just being close to V. But i dont know if a waltz fits her so much as just any slow dance so she could forget about night city for once and focus on "this".
I do hope the next game expands romance and interaction animations as a whole. V drinking and eating food would have been nice, and kept with immersion. Plus, seeing more preset camera angles would be great. CDPR knows how to set a scene, and i would love to be lost in the scene more.
You’re my favorite CyberPunk Ytuber.
The Penthouse will always be a cursed place to me, since thats where judy broke up with me in my first playthrough....never doing that gain, thanks
Mega building H10 is my favourite so far.
I like how u can have pets there
The Glen is my favorite as well. I like the bed being up on its own loft platform.
Broooo northside is my favorite besides japantown maybe. Its such a cool little place in a quieter part of the city.
Glen is my favorite.
Neighborhood sucks but I think this was supposed to show the gentrification of various areas of NC.
Enjoying the glen, view is great only thing missing is a walkout patio for coffee, being able to visit Panam's tent as a weekend camping trip for some fresh air & campfire fun sounds good.
There's a real simple mod that lets the iguana egg hatch in ~10 days.
The most immersion breaking moment for me in this game is how V’s starter apartment in a mega building; a structure supposedly made for cheap housing and to combat overpopulation in night city, is still bigger than most inner city apartments.
Congrats Sam, this video is blowing up! Just goes to show how good your CP2077 content is and how popular the game is 3 years and end of development on
Johnny appears in the mirror if you hadn't had eaten or slept recently
Lol the dancing is more immersion breaking than a T pose. Also cats and reptiles get along fairly well, they both just like to eat and chill.
I dunno what it is about the gown apartment but it makes me feel cold like it feels like it would be cold if you lived there
Not if the windows were double glazed and it had cavity wall insulation. Though tbf irl I'd probably add more rugs. Carpet feels warmer than hard flooring. Personally I've always liked the idea of one of those open upper floors though
