Among all the weird and cringeworthy romance scripts in gaming industry this quest had so much substance. None of what is in Pyramid Song is superficial. It incorporates many of the game's themes - societal collapse, neoliberal corpocracy, transhumanism - synchronisation. The way they are seamlessly woven into the story, the fact you are able to experience Judy's memories that come to surface as echos without spelling it out for you right from the start - is there any better and more moving way how to get to know somebody intimately? Whoever wrote this deserves a medal. Never before in history of gaming you had such a nuanced and naturally progressing relationship. Most romance options are just fillers or necessary addons to games. Here with a character so well written as Judy it feels naturally integral to V's story. Plus the soundtrack here beautifully underlines the storytelling. It is soundtrack scoring 101. The way they incoraporated the theme of Bells of Laguna Bend - foreshadowing in sound check for sync, how it changes but still there even during the sex scene. Hands down. This was the peak quest for me in Cyberpunk where all of the aspects of game storytelling where on spot. It makes you even crazy to realize Judy is just a fictional character. Feels like you actually lived and got to know someone.
@@blackwater4100 well I have my reservations about the game to be honest including the thin 3 Act, but Judy questline was flawless and Pyramid song was the cherry on top
What I love is that there's still a similar level of emotional intimacy expressed with male V as well. This quest, especially from the male V perspective, really hit home for me. My best friend in the whole world is someone I met barely a year ago and she's a lesbian, we just clicked right off the bat and became close pretty quickly through hardships in both our lives. This summer, we had our own Pyramid Song moment, we went on a road trip back to her hometown and went canoeing while talking about our childhoods as we made our way to a little island in the middle of the lake and just sat on the shore having a real heart to heart. This quest from the male V perspective is exactly the kind of emotional intimacy one can have with someone they love in a non-sexual way. It was honestly magical and made me a teary eyed mess my first time through. My second with female V I made a point to save before which I think is the move, next male V run I'll make a point to do the same. This quest is up there with the, "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" moment in Bioshock infinite but is elevated above it by the sheer length and depth of the emotions felt
Tbh the whole game has this strange feel over it. Like it's not even a game, but a peek into someone's life. All of the characters were very down to earth and it made them feel real. Despite all the cyberpunky stuff, like the augumentations and whatnot, I felt there were only just a bunch of ordinary guys who are trying to manage in a really fucked up city. No supersoldiers saving the earth. Just V trying to stay alive. This "simplicity" made it easy, at least for me, to really get sucked into this world CDPR built. Really nice writing, I just wish it would be longer. I hope they'll expand it a bit with some future story dlcs, because it's a world I really want to exlpore more.
Who here thinks that this is the best quest in the entire game? In terms of not only storyline, but also the design of each scene, sounds, and also the dialogue choice. It's just the most beautiful quest in the entire game. For me nothing tops this individual quest.
Definitely one of the most memorable ones indeed. It’s really sweet to see her open up about herself, and listening to her childhood stories felt really nostalgic, kinda reminds me of the town I lived in as a kid too. For me I liked the Panam epilogue as much as this quest. Receiving the jacket actually made me cry a bit.
@@dgfll I had a glitch so my character was naked... And i only found that out AFTER getting the Jacket... basically i stood on top of that car, with all the nomads watching, 100% naked, and then i was given a jacket... I have never been more embarrased.
In a sense, this mission IS the perfect braindance that Judy wished to record - the process of falling in love with someone. The only thing I wish is if I could re-experience the first time I ran through this mission. Not knowing what's gonna happen, their casual encounter by the shore, judy's hurt and worry, showing her vulnerability to you and how the first kiss transpired.
I’ve been taking the game very slowly, living in the world. A couple of side missions and reported crimes each game day, sometimes having a day off to explore. After I’ve cleared a district I dip back into the story. It’s taken me about 150 hours to reach the end of pyramid song... and I’ve realised more than ever before how profound it is that we can become so attached to a virtual character. Something about taking this game so slowly, living in the world on a realistic eat, sleep, shoot cycle makes the story just pop in the most intense way. When I clear somewhere, I feel sympathy for the victims. When I have a living enemy at my feet and they have sexual assault on their rap sheet, I feel a bit of rage and macabre satisfaction from putting a bullet in their face. My character eats, sleeps, drives normally when needed and like a fuckin demon when necessary. And you just FEEL the game and it’s events differently. It’s beyond anything else I’ve played.
Honestly, at this point is cringing watching people saying this game is bad because it doesn't work like a GTA. Man, they are missing something really special.
This quest being truly great is easily offset by the fact that the rest of Judy's questline is hot garbage. 1) It's poorly structured and artificially stretched (there's no reason for it to be 4 incredibly short quests instead of 1 or 2 longer ones, other than making you wait days for the next quest to start) . 2) it does a bad job exploring Judy's character, her relationship and history with Evelyn, and current life and connections to the city (the fact that she's a Mox is entirely irrelevant outside of her initially being at Lizzie's bar, her conflict with Mox leadership is hinted at, but never explored, and her presence in Clouds clusterfuck doesn't create any tension between Tygers and the Mox) . 3) it doesn't utilize any elements of the game's world that could be relevant (seriously, why isn't it possible to involve Wakako in a questline with a heavy focus on Tyger Claws?) . And, to top it all off, it ends up _unresolved,_ because no matter what choice you made in the end, Clouds isn't really any better off than when you started the questline, and no matter what ending you picked, Judy ends up leaving NC, thus cutting herself off the Clouds situation forever. Which, really, reinforces the overall theme of the game being "just fucking give up, you pathetic loser".
@@ionutluchian9720 That, too, but i don't even get into that :D. CDPR just went with the path of least resistance bioware romance formula where the romance ends the moment it's established.
@@Volthoom In regards to your 2nd point. I believe that her relationship with Evelyn was subtle and I liked it that way. They were never really in an intimate relationship, but clearly they cared about one another a lot and that was shown through her reaction to her being kidnapped and then later her suicide. Not to mention that you can actually look at her computer to find out more about it.
@@ionutluchian9720 That's fair enough, but i suppose i just wanted there to be more of Evelyn, rather than her killing herself immideately after being rescued.
This quest felt out of this world. I didn't have the impression to play Cyberpunk anymore, it was like I had been transported in another place, another game or universe.
I loved every second of Pyramid Song, being underwater, in this time capsule, more like a snow globe as Judy puts it, where her past is locked away and where feelings of nostalgia lurk beneath the waves, this fleeting moment of calm silence where the mind is freed from the worries of the present and only sweet memories of a childhood gone resurface, god I wish I could see the brain dance she creates during this moment.
I truly never expected a scene like this from this game... It was moving on such a strong nostalgia level...the memories you could hear of children playing, laughing, teasing... and just the sheer character bonding and development... it was something I won't soon forget. As a writer, I hope I can reach my audience the way this scene reached out to me. Amazing scene. Amazing game. Well...on the PC I guess lol.
don't worry gang, a game with a big soul like this has a special destiny, no amount of unfair backlash will tarnish its legacy, its journey in the world of stories and art has just begun! and we were here to weakness its birth
And here we are, the internet has finally come around to Cyberpunk. The release of Edgerunners, the update, DLC, and the flop of Starfield has made Cyberpunk popular again, this time in a positive light.
Thank you so much for this. I loved pyramid song. Everything about it brought this game into focus. Judy deserved way more time in the finale. There were several character moments in the finale where I felt should have been with Judy if you romanced her. especially the end shot. I did the Romance Judy, take Panam got the ride into the desert ending with both. Easily the best ending I feel. So I was planning to 100% all the missions before going into the ending. Then I visited Judy several times, she was just looping at that point. I did another mission, where a sister killed her sister in a in a fit of psychosis and notice my V fame and glory was at 90% and I had a moment of realization. This isn't what I wanted "Immersion mode that is." So I said you know what. I'm done, this isn't what mattered to me as V. Judy was, she wanted out and was dutifully waiting for me to finish my shit. Here I was stalling and gathering fame and glory. I stopped. Realized I've friends and family who want to help me. I was like screw it, called Panam, went in, finished the game. Rode of into the sunset with my new fam, BFF and a happy Judy. Ultimately satisfied. My only regret was in the chaos. Takemura..... I really liked him. Even more than Panam who I was just meh on for the longest. The fact that I had inadvertently betrayed him, hurt badly. I was shocked when he basically told me to Rot in Hell. Then is came together, he had thought I'd go through with the deal, but I found an alternative. I didn't think he'd care honestly. But then I realized what went down afterwards. I'm sorry Takemura. :( Game hasn't hit me in the feels this hard since Detroit Become human. Though to be fair, Detroit hit me harder. This is still close 2nd.
Yea it’s sad that Takemura had to end like that but he is... well, too loyal to Arasaka for his own sake. I played male V and got Panam’s ending in my first playthrough too and I must say it’s definitely the most hopeful ending. Judy calling from Oregon was pretty sweet too.
I loved Judy but I knew she would not go for me, when I finally reached this point (about 30h on my first playthrough) not only she refused me, but then she went on to tell me the disastrous consequences of my past missions.. she was completely broken and leaving town. I could not handle it.. i went into an in-game depression.. loaded 6 hours ago to do Pisces in a different way. at least she was not destroyed. Then I became an in-game vegan and installed a nonlethal mod. It was the first time I noticed how involved I was in the game. Thanks, Judy
This song and the other version of it on the roof with Judy, haunt me, I wanted to save Evie so badly, she was so hurt and Judy was hurting with her. The Witcher 3 is still my number one but when the expansions come out for Cyberpunk 2077, we'll have to see.
This theme is foreshadowed quite early on - don't remember the exact quest, but possibly the first Judy-specific one. I didn't notice untill a 2nd playthrough, after really falling for this particular theme. It will appear once or twice more, untill fully unfolding during Pyramid Song.
Well what I was pissed off about the game is that I cant do more with Judy, she felt so real to me I wanted more, never experienced something like this in a game and it’s fucking unbelieveable, she’s my dream girl, hope I will find someone like her in my life, love her and i hope they will expand on Romances. Maybe i sound like an idiot, but when i did pyramid song, it hit me on so many levels, going through her memories, ambient, music (absolutely flawless and perfect) intimacy, fuck me.. too bad that after that u had nothing except for some texts and ending, really dissapointing... :(
CDPR spot on with this mission. Absolutely incredible, for a side mission with no combat its presented so well, the music the ambience the character bonding its so good. I've had this music stuck in my head for 2 days, and when I hear it I get a pit In my stomach because they've done such a good job at making the player feel for her as a character. There's something quite haunting about the music at the start of the video, knowing all she's been through and hiding the most recent events at clouds to reveal it all at the end as to not spoil the day.. It feels so sad that although through everything she is finding happiness in facing her past and bonding with V (female) enough to want to stay in a city that otherwise brings her nothing but pain. The walk back to the vehicle leaving her sat on the Dock staring into the water was heartbreaking. And knowing that all remaining dialogue is exhausted after a couple of sentences after makes this music make me feel sad, like finally closing the last page on your favourite book that the story is over.
Am on a love hate relationship with this game, but one thing can't be denied, this game absolutely shines in the slow moments. And I'd say that this is arguably one of the best if not thee best mission in the game.
One of my fav missions in this game, second only to the Samurai concert with Kerry, the atmosphere and the bonding moments with Judy are superb, and you can actually go visit that same location again later if you want on your own (just use the O2 canister which will give you unlimited air for 30mins or something), but do it at day time not at night or you won't see anything, there isn't much to do down there but it's just interesting to see how much Judy's presence makes a difference.
You can tell in this game when everyone on the team wanted, in their heart of hearts, for select moments to truly shine. The bond between V and Jackie Welles in heist, the energy of the concert, and the Pyramid Song mission are arguably the three best examples of what the entire game *could* have been.
I went back to that nasty lake again long after the Pyramid Song mission, I think I left Dog Town and drove out there, actually. Anyway, I had the wetsuit in inventory so i slap it on and dive in and make my way out to the middle of the lake and submerge. I go down to about where you find the freeway overpasses, and I just stop. I remember how much further down it is and I realize the reason I wanted to be there wasn't even there. She was long gone. Judy is what made that scene what it was.
I think I don't have to say anything about Judy or the romance, der characterwriting, the storytelling. People already pinpointed out how wonderful it is. What I want to say is that this Song haunts me since i first heard it. Especially the version in the sunken town. It was one of the few missions where my sufgering PS4 decided to give all it had and not to fuck up the Audio in Dialogues as it usually did. Roaming the sunken Village woke a dormant memory of mine. I was always scared of water, drowning is the most horrific death I can imagine, but i loved to dive. I'm not the best swimmer but staying under water for how long my longs where capable was my thin... This song reminds me why that is. Under water the sound is muffled, everythin is quiet, its my definition of absolute peace. I didn't want this mission to end, not because of judy but the game and the soundtrack gave me the feeling of peace, a feeling I have missed for years because our world is so darn loud. Have a nice day you all and I hope you get a bit of peace or joy today :3
The ''My Story'' soundtrack plays in dialogue with Judy when you have her as girlfriend in the mansion before depart to the flying vehicle. I love that moment.
This mission was Judy's redemption. Not in storyline terms, I just mean she is the character who introduces Braindances into the game - one of the most fucking boring and irritating sections of the game. This mission on the other hand was beautiful, surreal and flowed naturally. Everything that the goddamn braindances werent.
Thanks this is great, I was looking for a specific version and I didn't there know there were so many missing from the official OST. Do you have the one from the rooftop scene by any chance? That's the one I want the most, with strong synth.
Composer: Paul Leonard-Morgan WAIT WHAT? I thought the composer of all cyberpunk soundtracks is that polish guy Martyn or whatever his name. who is this Paul guy?
He is pretty good yea, and his work in GITS and others are iconic... though I don’t think he’s good at being loyal to the source material, and it certainly won’t retain the same vibe if he did the soundtrack for the anime. His tracks in Higurashi are legendary but he simply can’t top dai’s tracks in the visual novel.

One of my fav missions in this game, second only to the Samurai concert with Kerry, the atmosphere and the bonding moments with Judy are superb, and you can actually go visit that same location again later if you want on your own (just use the O2 canister which will give you unlimited air for 30mins or something), but do it at day time not at night or you won't see anything, there isn't much to do down there but it's just interesting to see how much Judy's presence makes a difference.
You can tell in this game when everyone on the team wanted, in their heart of hearts, for select moments to truly shine. The bond between V and Jackie Welles in heist, the energy of the concert, and the Pyramid Song mission are arguably the three best examples of what the entire game *could* have been.
I went back to that nasty lake again long after the Pyramid Song mission, I think I left Dog Town and drove out there, actually. Anyway, I had the wetsuit in inventory so i slap it on and dive in and make my way out to the middle of the lake and submerge. I go down to about where you find the freeway overpasses, and I just stop. I remember how much further down it is and I realize the reason I wanted to be there wasn't even there. She was long gone. Judy is what made that scene what it was.
I think I don't have to say anything about Judy or the romance, der characterwriting, the storytelling. People already pinpointed out how wonderful it is.
What I want to say is that this Song haunts me since i first heard it. Especially the version in the sunken town. It was one of the few missions where my sufgering PS4 decided to give all it had and not to fuck up the Audio in Dialogues as it usually did.
Roaming the sunken Village woke a dormant memory of mine. I was always scared of water, drowning is the most horrific death I can imagine, but i loved to dive. I'm not the best swimmer but staying under water for how long my longs where capable was my thin... This song reminds me why that is. Under water the sound is muffled, everythin is quiet, its my definition of absolute peace. I didn't want this mission to end, not because of judy but the game and the soundtrack gave me the feeling of peace, a feeling I have missed for years because our world is so darn loud.
Have a nice day you all and I hope you get a bit of peace or joy today :3
Thank you so much!
The ''My Story'' soundtrack plays in dialogue with Judy when you have her as girlfriend in the mansion before depart to the flying vehicle. I love that moment.
such a beautiful songs & totally fitting for Judy.
Went to the pyramids at night once. A lost civilization is what I got from both of these trips.
Dude, this music, every time I hear it I want to dive underwater again
This mission was Judy's redemption. Not in storyline terms, I just mean she is the character who introduces Braindances into the game - one of the most fucking boring and irritating sections of the game.
This mission on the other hand was beautiful, surreal and flowed naturally.
Everything that the goddamn braindances werent.
Thanks a lot for making this! It's beautiful
this music is so beautiful!
god my favourite quest in the game after chippin in..
This is just BEAUTIFULL
i love her
Thank you so much for this, i'd love to get my hands on the raw file for best audio quality :O
EDIT: I think i found it! 400255190.ogg!!
Thanks for sharing the info! Sharing is caring
The essential cyberpunk playlist:
pyramid song complete or 1h version
1h never fade away this version
full samurai album
kerry's boat song 1h
This is a very realistic segment im the game. Look up Lake Lanier and the flooded black town of Oscarville in Georgia.
So watching Panam romance vs Judy Romance. To me, Judy Romance had real emotion and was tastefully done. Panam scene was kinda pornish n tacky.
Because they are different characters
cant disagree u are right
@@kapone7227 Sould have been nicer for them to explore more to how these characters would romance V.
BEST

Thanks a lot. My favourite song and mission. Love Judy).
Thanks this is great, I was looking for a specific version and I didn't there know there were so many missing from the official OST. Do you have the one from the rooftop scene by any chance? That's the one I want the most, with strong synth.
It is already uploaded somewhere else but I haven't found it in the files yet. I think it's named "Judy's Theme"-- hope that helps :)
@@dgfll I think that's the one, thank you. :)
Perhaps this one

Composer: Paul Leonard-Morgan
WAIT WHAT? I thought the composer of all cyberpunk soundtracks is that polish guy Martyn or whatever his name. who is this Paul guy?
There are three main composers if I recall correctly.
@@dgfll oh wow
I want the braindance version, pls
Pyramid song is also a song by Radiohead
i've anxiety attack since i've made this story, fuck cdred. no game ever take me so far (excuse my english)
imagine kenji kawai gits rewite in this soundtrack
He is pretty good yea, and his work in GITS and others are iconic... though I don’t think he’s good at being loyal to the source material, and it certainly won’t retain the same vibe if he did the soundtrack for the anime. His tracks in Higurashi are legendary but he simply can’t top dai’s tracks in the visual novel.
can someone transcribe this to piano
this quest is different..for me is hard to describe it, what I gonna do is just feel it...🫠💓💘
When this game wants to be good. It can be really good.
