A Cyberpunk video has been something I've wanted to make for literally years now. I knew the dawn of the fifth day would come for Cyberpunk, it was only a matter of time. That doesn't mean it's a completley perfect game. But it's definitely playable now! So I think it's time we discuss it all! Thanks for watching!

No thank you 😊
free game = bad game
Get that bag jack💰
Please try out the telltale walking dead series and make a video, I think you'd really like it since you liked the last of us 1 so much.
@@zaratustra00 I usually agree with free game sponsors for TH-camrs, but it’s actually really fun. If you don’t like vehicle warfare games like world of tanks you wouldn’t like it though
You can definitely see the difference in your videos from transitioning to full time content creation. This is outstanding work Jack. You are among my favourite creators and your videos are consistently funny and well crafted. Cheers
Thank you!
Jack and Ranton are prolly my fav gaming "review" type channels. I need my vibey atmospheric vids along with my autistic schizo vids
👍
@@daizenmarcuriotry out Action Button for a combination of those two video types.
Especially his review of Tokimeki Memorial. Don't worry, it's not just you who's never heard of it.
Or his Doom review, if you must watch something about a game you know.
Action Button Reviews Tokimeki Memorial is the best video I've ever seen in TH-cam.
Fuck me dude. These vids are getting real good
I actually really liked the slower talking moments of the game, felt totally immersed and it makes you feel more grounded into the world
i agree with this alot, when they talk slower it feels like you can take a breather. In a busy city like nightcity with stuff going on everywhere u go, having these slower moments from time to time is a good mix-up
You know you’re completely immersed when you move your body/camera around as if you’re actually acting out the scene as V, I’ve never played a first-person game that gave me the urge to do that before.
Only game that made me shed a tear 😢
I agree 100% like its an RPG, i wanna get immersed in the world and i get that some games that does this suck and are boring but for me Cyberpunk is such an intersting world and characters so i loved moments like that
Cyberpunk is one of these stories that just gets better as you get older. V starts out as a hungry dumb ambitious kid who wants to get rich but by the end of the game he just wants to be happy and spend more time with his loved ones its a very relatable and a mature character ark especially when compared to most RPGs where your character is treated like a god by every npc he meets.
This is probably why I really love CDPR's games. I'm SO done with the usual "hello pleyer you are the only one who could save the world plz help us thankz"-trope. Geralt is treated as a monster by the world, V is mostly treated as a noob who can easily be used and walked all over. Neither The Witcher's, nor Cyberpunk's core is about saving the world and instead focus on simply delivering a good story with good characters, with pretty believable writing compared to most games.
@@jonnyjoker01Geralt saves the world in Witcher 3
Starfield/Barret-Hey, know we just met, but would you like my spaceship and pet robot?
Cyberpunk/Dex-Hey, know we just met, but would you like some brain and emotional trauma?
Cyberpunk really feels alive in a way that no other game world has felt to me in a long time, and the best part is V feels like a part of the world, but not an architect of it. His actions don't change the city on a grand scale. He's not a hero. He's not a villain. He's just a guy (or woman if that's your character) trying to live, and that's it. And Night City doesn't give a shit.
@pintolerance785 Ciri saves the world, not geralt.
@@Dr.Yakub22 Ciri would be dead without Geralt and would never make it to the portal in order to save the world.
This sandevistan comment made me realize that Jack might have never watched Edgerunners. If anyone has the slightest interest in the Cyberpunk world you'd absolutely love it. The turnaround on Cyberpunk started when edgerunners came out
I cannot second this comment enough. If you haven’t seen it there’s now at least two internet strangers saying go watch it. It is an emotionally moving series.
Big third on that, the anime is a masterpiece
Ditto !! Watched it twice and my brother has watched it 6 times
Erryone needs to see it first sure, probs my fav anime Icl
If the main character wasn't underage I might care and not feel incredibly uncomfortable.
hey man. I want to thank you for showing and not just telling. I like that you put effort in to the visuals in your videos.
Haha i try! Ty!
Great video Jack! Glad you revisited the game. I've been a Cyberpunk stan since day one. Despite the bugs and half-baked mechanics in some area, it was clear to me that there was a worthwhile experience underneath. So I'm glad CDPR took the time to flesh things out and I'm happy to see more people enjoying the game in its current state.
Thanks dude!!
Man I played it on PS4 day 1 and adored every second, I was too engrossed to be mad until I saw the discourse, and this is someone who was excited since teaser 1. Yes I expected everything and the kitchen sink, but regard of what was ‘lost’ it was clearly a masterpiece.
50 hours on my first play through and now over 100 hours at 80% on my second one. What they did with this game is a miracle.
as a returning player from 1.2.
2.0 was a brand new game and wish it was the game from the start.
You found some awesome locations to film in that really suit the vibe of the video. Looks awesome! I thought the bridge was a green screen until the bird screamed lol
Haha thanks ya I literally had to scout locations for this one, it was fun!
@@JackSather jacksonville at night is a brave choice brother the walks back after the bars close always sketches me the fuck out lmao
i played this game on day 1 on my ps4. Terrible experience. But i still played through the entire game oddly enough. And through all the bugs i could still get an ok experience. I was captivated by the story so much and its definitely a top 3 story game for me. Im glad people realized how good cyberpunk is, it just took looking under the bugs for everyone to understand. Good video jack
I never had anything Game Breaking expect the Elevator at the heist. Only thing that sucked was the Frames for Sec and low grade graphics. I had the old Day one Ps4 and stuck with it
The current version is so different from the launch version of the game. The gameplay and progression were unfocused and unbalanced and made playing it a grind while it was simultaneously unchallenging. No one had complaints about the story at launch besides lifepaths feeling underbaked. It most that people held CDPR to an expectation that they set for themselves and was pretty disappointed that they didn't meet it.
Looking under the bugs is hard when it's fundamentally broken. It's only possible now that it is fixed
@@NiceDiggzthat frame rate and general lack of any polish ruined your experience. No need to lie
@@maineman5757the moment to moment gameplay is identical
I loved talking to the characters in this game, not because of the characters themselves, but because nearly everything the characters tell you is worldbuilding cosplaying as a conversation.
No, I don't care about what I would do if I got out of that city, but the fact some characters feel the need to ask me that question says more about the city itself than the characters. That's the kind of stuff I adore ! Conversations in this game drip atmosphere at every turn, and since I'm a player that enjoys atmosphere more than gameplay a lot of the time, those dialogue sequences were close to being my favourite parts of the game.
I get to experience the city in gameplay, and then I reflect on it with the characters which gives me a new perspective once I go back in it again.
It’s so hard to see you putting your ENTIRE HEART AND SOUL in this video and it not be at millions of views. Love your stuff, and I see the hard work you put into this video. Nobody is putting all the effort and details into their videos like you are.
I hope it pays off for you in the long run. Love your stuff Jack
The GTA VI being a myth comment aged out QUICK haha
Patch 2.1 is launching this December 5th and adds so much!
Just wanna start by saying I’ve been looking forward to this video for months. Really enjoy your videos.
Advertisements in Cyberpunk aren’t meant to be GTA style. They’re meant to represent the world itself. There’s a bunch of lore to simplify, but basically, in a city that’s run by corpos, your attention is your most valuable commodity, and money your second. Advertisements need to pull your attention at all costs. That’s why they’re so gory and striking. Another creator made a really good video on this, “Cyberpunk 2077 in a World of Ads,” definitely check that out if you have time.
As far as the story goes and “taking too long,” it is a combat game that has really fun gameplay, but it’s also a deep story game. Personally, I think good storytelling takes time, and has real meaning behind it if you stop to think about it. There have been multiple times in the game where I’m on my second play through and hears something and went “WHAT? No way I didn’t notice that, that’s such a cool small detail”. Anyway, I guess it just depends on what you’re playing the game for. I love story games, and Cyberpunk is my absolute favorite.
Keanu Reeves as Johnny I know some people don’t like, I suppose that’s mostly just a preference thing. Personally, I thought 80% of his dialogue is pretty good and by the end of the game, it really felt like you and Johnny had a deeper relationship (assuming you didn’t pick the voice lines that make V a complete dick).
Overall, enjoy your videos and interesting to hear your take on Cyberpunk. Keep up the good work!
totally. the amount of body modifications and ways of escapism ads was such a cyberpunk trademark
Yea people a lot of the time miss the fact that cyberpunk is not an aesthetic, but rather an examination of what the world would look like under a hyper capitalist corporate hell state. The ads are the idea that sex sells pumped (hehe) up to 1000%, people ask you questions in game because you're supposed to examine your own beliefs in a genre that's about crushing the humanity out of everything in the name of a quick profit.
Having some flashy neon lights and not ever forcing you to think about the state of the world would have been a disservice to the genre. That being said some segments do tend to feel like they drag on if you're on a second play through.
@@ComradeBread That's fair. I'm on my third playthrough (Judy romance, need I say more?) and there can definitely be boring parts another time around. But I definitely think they were important, no, essential, to my first playthrough, which is really what story games try to achieve. Personally, I couldn't tell you one thing they could change about the story to make it better. ( Except for romancing Songbird :((((( )
@@mb-ed8hu you're definitely correct, you absolutely gain more with the longer segments than you would without.
Also please never mention the lack of So Mi romance around me again, I prefer my delusions where there is still a chance thank you very much. CDPR give me my James bond/spy thriller spy falling for the person she shouldn't you damn cowards!
in a world where everyone has been numbed to the depressing slog that is 2077, the only things that make anyone feel anything is tantalising sex and hyper-violence, sometimes both with the existence of illegal XBDs that are basically snuff films.
Dude you've become my favourite creator over the past year and the fact that other people don't see how much quality you've packed into your videos is crazy.
Thanks so much 🥹
Jack, somehow you always capture exactly how I feel about these games.
I am in one of the lucky camps that I had ZERO knowledge of all the bugginess and all the initial hype, and I went in totally blind earlier this year.
All I can say -- is this is now my standard for this type of immersive experience. It blows the competition out of the water.
And I haven't even played Phantom Liberty! AND they're adding MOAR stuff! Incredible.
This game is legit staggering, grantee I never played until 2.0, but it’s truly a next gen game for me, the first person aspect and how everything is animated in such a way, it’s an incredible game
Play Valhalla or Odyssey then
Wow, what a small world... I actually made the wallpaper that appears at 1:05 in the video! Of course, credit goes to CDPR for the original art, but I photoshopped the pictures into wallpaper format and posted it on Reddit almost 10 years ago. That was back when the Witcher was a much less well known a had a small, passionate community. What a fun blast from the past.
Great video as always, Jack.
Wow this was incredibly done. The time it takes to make one of these videos must be absolutely insane. I think I speak for every one of your viewers when I say that we appreciate you and probably take you for granted. Clicked the video so fast and what a way to spend my lunch break. Love your videos as always, and I will watch them for as long as they come out. Our savior, Jack Sather.
glad you're doing this full-time now, slowly becoming my favorite youtuber with these videos lol
❤❤
ong true, it drastically shows a whole lot of changes
Dude the presentation and pacing of this video was SUPREME. Well done man, and the part mentioning frame generation saved my life haha
I see how much love and work you put into these videos, it's great
Honestly enjoyed this video more than I thought I would have. You clearly put alot of effort, with your awesome outfit, all the clips, and edits. Amazing job man, you definitely kept me entertained! I agreed with most of what you said. Glad people like you are enjoying this redemption like I have!
Funny enough a few days ago I watched Suzi's video on Cyberpunk 2077 which also blew me away, she killed that, as well as her role in the game!
Anyways, I'll definitely sub now, and I look forward to more content for you!
Good stuff yet again, appreciate the consistency and quality content 👍🏼
Thank you very much!!
Bro i love this style that you are creating in your videos, recording in different scenarios really make the whole thing dynamic
Keep up the great work!
found your channel a couple months ago and dude the quality of your videos is insane! I'm excited to see what the future holds for you. Keep it up!
Dude, your videos are incredible. I haven't played most of the games you cover - nor will I in many cases - but you put so much character and passion into talking about them, that I end up caring. I think that's super impressive.
Thank youuu ❤️
This is your best video yet! Really funny, well paced and good commentary on the game xx
It is captivating to see you put that much energy into your content. I really hope it pays the bills for you as well. Looking forward to seeing your channel grow!
Thank you very much!
I LOVE the backgrounds you chose for this video, fit the cyberpunk theme perfectly congrats amazing video as always. Even watched the ad the entire way through (:
I love that Silverhand impression at 25:19. You absolutely nailed it.
I started my first playthrough right after 40 hours of Starfield, and it felt like whiplash in the best way possible. Have no idea how it was before 2.0, but it ended up being one of my favorite games this year.
Honestly 2.0 didn't change that much. It made some good changes and added a couple of new features, but the underlying game is mostly the same, just better. It sucked seeing people only focus on the bugs when the actual game is great. The ps4 release was definitely atrocious tho, but that's mostly the result of out of touch greedy corporates
@@sebastianrygaard4633maybe I should try it again. At launch I thought it ran like crap and was buggy as hell. They also lied about a lot of features that straight up didnt get included like the train.
before 2.0 a significant amount of people experienced constant crashes due to memory leak and other bugs that then led to corrupted save states. I somehow managed to play about 8 hrs in that scummy pile of garbage state the game was in and although i felt scammed by CDPR and wont buy any of their games again, after 2.0 they fixed these major bugs and its actually decent. Might need to visit the high seas next time tho to make sure the game actually works before i buy anything
@@spas6433 No, they didn't lie. A lot of these "promised features" were passed around by fans as confirmed when all they really were were rumors and fan speculation. CDPR NEVER confirmed a metro and iirc they confirmed it wasn't in the game pre-release.
@@mandu6665 No, a lot of the promised features werent random things fans came up with. A lot of them were in promotional teasers and were never denied by cdpr. The blame still lies on them. The game is good now but they fully avoided denying any of these claims, and promised features like the wanted system which never got added. By this same logic bethesda has technically never lied about their games. There are 200 slide combinations for fallout 3’s ending. The building system for fallout 4 does just work together. Fallout 76 does have 16x better draw distances. It still isnt right to gloss over the reality of it and not deny any rumours that develop from that. They 100% deserve all the criticism they have gotten
Great vid Jack. I love the areas you chose to film in. Seriously they're gorgeous.
EDIT: I love your cyberpunk visors / glasses.
man this is a great vid. so many terrific camera shots for your narration. i can tell a ton of work went into this. gratz on a job well done
wow the quality of the video is out of this world, now i understand why it took so much time to drop this vid
Cyberpunk 2077 is so addicting and fun. I can't stop playing it.
It's amazing, so amazing that it set my game expectations way too high and now nothing tickles my monkey brain like Cyberpunk does. It ruined me.
What a natural, organic comment
@@Ronam0451 thanks
I get so pumped and drop everything when I see Jack dropped a new vid.
Love seeing that Jacksonville bridge and sykline behind you. Great to see another local on the come-up. Keep up the great work!
Dang that was a really good johnny silverhand saying arasaka impression
Another banger by the man himself! Love to see that cyberpunk finally gets some love and attention! Keep up the good work!
Amazing work as always Jack!
This game is ridiculously good and easily one of my favorites this year.
Great video as always, You've really stepped up your game with these videos as of recent and I can't wait to see what else you make, keep up the good work!
Glad to see you put out a video about how they turned things around with Cyberpunk. I recently discovered your channel, and you do a fantastic job! Video quality keeps getting better and better, keep up the great work man!
Bloody hell Jack this was such an awesome video, interesting, pacey, made me laugh. Keep smashing it broski!! ❤
Cool glasses.
Supa cool
Dude every video is just better and better. This is GREAT
Always a good surprise when you upload videos Jack! So glad you were able to go full time.
Thank you!!
I swear to god Jack we don't deserve a channel like yours in the community. These videos are always so well written and put together, and such a joy to watch. I'm really excited for what you're planning to do next, as always!
27 minutes in the morning of a workday?? c'mon Jack could've waited till Saturday morning /s
Jack, absolutely loving the effort put into your sets, costumes, and editing. Keep up the great work! I am sure I will be congratulating you on 1m subs soon.
great videos man I found your channel yesterday and the effort you put in is clear. KEEP GOING!
February 1st Update: you can costumes the colour of your car
lol gta6 joke aged well
Your outdoor and outside narration reminds me so much of the night life in the Phoenix area. Takes me back. Great video as always, Jack!
Crazy timing on this video man, patch 2.1 got revealed today as well. Played Cyberpunk for the first time when the 2.0 patch came out and it's been everything I'd hoped. Looking forward to your future videos, I dig the style you have
this game is so great, from the world, driving and the combat + making your own build is just so fun. I can't wait for the future of this IP
Hey Jack, I’ve loved your content for a long time, but I cannot stand by a creator who slanders rye bread. This has cost you a loyal follower. 😔
Underrated comment
Been pumped for this video ever since tuning into the streams. Keep them coming man!
the long awaited video! im kinda bummed that you didnt kept streaming the dlc.
like this since im first
no me
A lot of these reviews seem to hang too much on the bad side of games rather than the good side and in today’s world over analysis can just be tiring.
Hate generates clicks sadly.
So if he over analyzed the good things you'd be happy? Or just glanced over both good and bad, that would be better?
I'm so sorry I focus on the abused workers and lies instead of fluffing your ego. That's my bad.
@@jarrettscott Not at all, it doesn’t need to be over analysis of good or bad though. But the bad side of games like Cyberpunk is the lowest hanging fruit and it’s been covered a million times over.
I agree with you dragging up complaints from years ago is just obvious and very boring. The whiplash videos give me where they cover good and bad just to toe the line never fails to make me cringe.
God the montage at 11:07 is so sick. Awesome song choice and so well timed. The transitions were sick as hell too. Dope video man
Man you (and/or your editor?) are KILLING it. Always entertaining to watch the little things like 11:47 music overlays.
Jack, I've been watching your content for a minute now. And I can genuinely say it's gotten to the point where I wish I could forget the things that I've seen you upload so I can enjoy the experience again good shit my man.
The production value for these newer vids is astounding. Well done!
You're honestly one of the few TH-camrs I GENUINELY look forward to seeing their next upload. I love the quality and care you put into your videos!
I don't think you get enough appreciated for all the sick background you peek, that neon Cafe and bridge with blue lights hits the spot together with your outfit
Your videos are fantastic my friend! I love how you film in different places when transitioning to topics.
This is a very high quality video! I appreciated the scene changes and your opinions were rather insightful. I look forward to more!
2:11 Hearing Pendulums Slam - oh boy. Bring backs memories. Thanks for that
Your Johnny silver hand impression is actually spot on
Great video as always! I'm so happy you're doing this full-time now!
So happy I found this channel earlier this year, the love and care got me to comment and I never do that; keep it up Jack!
Production on this video is killer, love the locations.
The TH-cam algorithm confounds me. Why does such a great video have only 185K views? It’s easily a 600K+ video at the very least.
Loved watching you stream, love your videos, love cyberpunk this game has held a special place in my heart the last few years and I look forward to the series future.
The production for your videos its insane dude
Always happy to see new stuff from you :) great video!
Great video dude! I love the way you shoot your vids and your level of detail when talking about games!
Thanks!
Outstanding video! Cheers to full time! Can’t wait for more
bruh the production level in these videos are crazy!! Beautiful work my guy 👏
I wasn't expecting this much quality in a simple review, damn! Keep it up!
Jacks vids honestly just keep getting better
Dude the work you put in is nuts. Love it
You may have the most high quality content I’ve ever seen bro. Wish you all the success you deserve
Never been more happy to see a new vid
I just wanted to say thank you for putting the no spoiler disclaimer at the start. I'm yet to play Phantom Liberty and wanted to be sure I could enjoy your video, so that cleared it right up 😁
Colors are absolutly insane in the video man, you killed it!!
Haha thank you!!
Excellent work on the exterior lighting!
Just wow. What a video. I watched it from start to finish, I couldn't stop because you made everything entertaining. Props to you Jack AND your girlfriend for helping you! Keep up the amazing work! Looking forward to see whats next 👍
Its super cool seeing the different buildings of downtown jax as his background
Great video, glad you're doing this full time, another creator to watch out for on my homepage.
Oh yeahhh man i've been waiting for this Cyberpunk Review on your channel and thank you for that ❤
I was starting to wonder when your next video would be up! Got a little concerned there.
Great video! Was definitely worth the wait. Keep it up, please!
Absolutely love your deep dive game reviews. Keep it up man
Jack, your stuff is great! Went and bought some merch. Please keep making videos.
i love your videos, they’re so creative and full of personality 🔥
That outfit transition for the ad is great
Always making amazing videos! Love your stuff!
