    I’m one of the few people who liked cyberpunk day 1. I was there defending it like crazy because I fell in love with the game. The game released at a time in my life where I down and just tired of life. I didn’t believe I had meaning or mattered. But when I played and beat cyberpunk and (mistakenly) gotten the suicide ending, it completely changed my life. I began to understand myself and the value I have in the world. How much I mattered to the people around me and the value of appreciating the little things. It gave me a new lease on life that I needed. Idk if my outlook on the game would’ve been different if I wasn’t in that headspace around that time but I thank CDPR. It makes me super happy seeing the turn around on this game and more people giving it a shot. CDPR did deserve the chewing out they got, I’m just super happy they didn’t give up on the game and worked to improve it

      I also enjoyed it shortly after release, didn't encounter that many bugs but flawed features were sort of annoying me especially when those things were that easy to fix. But I installed a better vehicle driving mod, better driving minimap mod, some crafting fixes and maybe some other small fixes and it was much better. Those things didn't ruin the game for me since it had a lot of very strong sides that those little things couldn't have ruined it for me. But the fact that those things were so easy to fix were bothering me, the fact that modders fixed it day one made it weird that CDPR released it like that. It's good that you don't need those mods anymore and that more people can enjoy the game now, for some those things might have ruined the experience. I'm glad that people can enjoy it now like I did, it was a shame that some people gave up on the game and missed out.

    This is probably the best video/review I've seen about Cyberpunk 2077 to this day, I'll go even further and say it's the closest to my own thoughts about it. You just described everything I love about it and how I felt (still feel) after playing and finishing it multiple times.
    And while it's often just a support for a game or to add to the ambiance, but I consider the sound and music in Cyberpunk 2077 to be fully part of the world and immersion, more over and being a metalhead since I was a teenager it's the first time I feel a game truly understands what diverse music taste look like with the multiple radio stations covering almost all music genre going from metal to rock, pop to electro, rap to nighclub, ... etc

    I loved Cyberpunk 2077, despite all the noise surrounding its admittedly shakey launch. The story was engaging, companions interesting (i love Panem), and the combat was frantic fun.
    Even Keanu Reeves grew on me as Johnny. I was surprised by how much he was in the game. Expected a glorified cameo but hes in most side quests chatting with you as well. I'm sad CD Projeckt Red had to waste 2 years putting out fires and we still have to wait till next year for new story content.

      game was always good tho. and that's coming from someone who played through it on a PS4. might be biased since it came out on my birthday lol.

      Totally agree about Keanu. I was annoyed about how big a deal people were making his inclusion out to be at the time. I didn't give a shit about some big Hollywood actor being in the game and just thought the game wouldn't have taken so long to come out if they didn't feel the need to cast him. After playing the game though, I'm really glad he was in the game. Keanu as Johnny is probably my favorite role of his ever. I got so attached to Johnny as the game went on and thought he was an amazing character. He gave an amazing performance and I was really glad they proved me wrong.

The fact that Johnny appears in so many moments that aren't tied to the main quest at all, commenting on different things you see in the world is incredible. I was genuinely surprised how many lines of dialogue he has and how he comments on pretty much everything to do, I expected him to mostly be featured in the main quest and nothing else.

      @@januszkurahenowski2860thing is silver hand has a lesser role in the original script, the reason why he appears everywhere even as you’re walking down the street is because Keanu push CDPR to make Jonny a bigger role, hell Keanu wasn’t even going to be in the game, the executives wanted a big Hollywood star to secure sales and the team pretty much had to scrapped a lot of content because of it, the game was literally remade in 2 years, that’s why there’s a lot of glitches and missing features, now they announce a sequel and I hope this time they truly take their 5 to 7 years to polish and include everything that was left out in this game.

    I remember when I was downloading on the game on GOG the day it came out as I was watching the whole of Twitch and CZcams playing the game. Moistcritical, Jacksepticeye, Pewdiepie, xQc, and many others playing it. It was like I was playing the dream, the most anticipated thing in any medium since Harry Potter was in my freaking hands. I was floored, what a feeling it was. Breathtaking. I caved in my room and played it for four straight days, cried my eyes out, then went online to see some people shitting on it. I was like wtf is going on. The game worked for me with minor bugs that you usually would find in any major and minor video game. I was fortunate. Then saw people asking CDPR to bring Jackie back for some reason. I was wondering if I misunderstood the game. Never was familiar with the cyberpunk genre beforehand, but I totally realized that NC would win, and win hard, no matter what. Jackie's death was a cautionary tale. But people still demanded the montage to be playable with Jackie. I missed him, like everyone, which was the goal of his intro, but he drew his fate from the very minute he introduced you to Dex and T-Bug. And I ended up drinking to Johnny Silverhand at the end of the game instead. Characters were unreal... I mean, believable.. You know what I mean.
    Then the Edgerunners anime came out and I saw everyone echoing Silverhand's words, "A happy ending, in this city, for people like us? Wrong city."
    I'm glad the game came back to the spotlight now. An amazing journey that I still remember two years later. Time for a replay this Christmas before Phantom Liberty comes along.

    You brought it to rhe point. Cyberpunk for me is an expierence. You cannot describe it in its fullest, but it is so easy to emerge yourself in a 70-80hour run and still miss so much about the city, or find new things returning as a (new) V, going through every possibility. It's rare that a videogame pulls me in it like that. I will defend that game with everything I have. It made me love, hate, cry, cheer and so much more for everyone I meet in that virtual world.

    I outta agree, this has quickly become my favorite PC story based game. Not only is it unique in combat builds, a visually stunning open world, updated with proper difficulty, iconic characters, but one of the most intimate main-character developments to bond with the player of the uncertainty and bittersweet finite experience that is real life, and facing our inevitable deaths. The biggest lesson in each of these endings, is to chose how you’ll spend your last moments head on.

    Great video 👍this is the what I've been looking for since I've finished the game myself a few weeks ago.
    While there are some cool essays and explorations of the game out there, a LOT of them can be overly long and tangential, and the discourse focuses majorly on the technical launch of the game and what the game isn't rather than the game itself.
    What you've made is very concise but still hits all the aspects on why the game is so impressive and moving.
    Thank you for making this.

    I feel you for the endings. People say that the Aldecaldo ending is the best, but personally I felt the pain of having Bob, Ted, and Saul die for V. That's why I love the Don't Fear The Reaper ending. You don't lose anyone who trusts you. Great perspective of the game BTW. I think what some people seem to forget is how many different playstyles there are when it comes to defeating goons.

    This is the best unpaid advertisement of a game I have ever watched. I already completed the game, but if I hadn’t beforehand? You would have sold me completely.
    I had some performance issues with the game because of weak GPU and lack of an SSD. Regardless, I found the story to be unlike anything else I’ve ever read / watched / played, and that alone was enough to make it my favorite game of all time. I will one day revisit this game and be just as astonished then as I am now.

    We had very similar experiences and observations and obsessions with Cyberpunk, which makes me absolutely ecstatic. I got lucky and had a pretty big free build day one- I work in game development specifically in character concept and storytelling, and was hearing nonstop chatter at my college the month of its release. I saw the nastiness of it- but no one was seeing how there were so many aspects in its story and how it tells it that just makes it some of the best world building I’ve ever experienced. I’ve never been as immersed in a game as I have in this game- and despite the ways it failed, I really believe the storytelling and exposition this game presents that I think sets an excellent standard of how you can explore worlds that do not exist within games. Thank you for such a great video and sharing the love and excitement that can be found in this game, as someone in that industry, it warms my heart hearing the ways games have impacted people. The artists and developers that built this game really loved it- and it 100% shows.

But after cdpr just released the free update for Witcher 3, and seeing how good that is, I felt like it was finally time to give it a go. I just copped it yesterday and am super excited to get into it

The fact that i bought a game that i cannot run comfortably and i didn't mind that at all shows how much i loved it.

  • @CinematicSeriesGaming
    @CinematicSeriesGaming Před rokem +4

    This is a really impressive video. Most CZcamsrs would just record a generic narration and fill the screen with random gameplay clips. You took the time to record countless cinematic shots of Night City and immersive "noHUD" gameplay sections. You also made professional montages that capture the essence of the game. I think I am qualified more than most people to say "amazing job". I wish more gaming creators were ambitious with their videos and took their time to make them feel cinematic, like you did with this video.
    About the game itself: Cyberpunk started as a complete mess. At launch it was buggy, unfinished and lacking features that were advertised. I even made a video back then to mock the game by confronting it with devs' promises. A few months ago I gave Cyberpunk a second chance. I installed the newest updates, got a few PC mods to enhance the experience and played through the game on my new PC in 4K. And I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised. I now think Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the greatest open-world games I've ever seen. It still has a few technical quirks (for example I wish that draw distance was better and the traffic was smoother) but it's extremely immersive and well-made overall. The city is absolutely beautiful, the story is very strong, the supporting characters are very interesting, the combat is fun as hell, driving is suprisingly good (althrough it requires getting used to) and the attention to details is insane.
    Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most immersive gaming experiences I've ever had. It just requires a certain level of dedication from the player to fully appreciate it. In my humble opinion, this game shines when you take it seriously and try to role play as V. When you follow the traffic rules, walk through the city instead of running and approach combat scenarios slowly, this game feels like a movie. A lot of this beauty is lost when you blast through the game like it's GTA. If you drive like a maniac everywhere and never take the time to stop and look around, the game loses a lot of its charm. So my advice is this: play this game slowly and take your time. Don't rush through it because you will do yourself a big disservice. Instead, try to role play as V, take the game seriously and even put some extra restrictions on yourself for a bigger challenge (for example try to complete "theft missions" without harming anyone of ever being spotted).

    Fantastic review and i 100% agree so far. In fact it's so good, I have to put it on pause while I do a few more run throughs so nothing gets spoiled. And I had almost 400 hours on the first run through! I played on PC so the game didn't have many glitches and was breathtaking even before I built a new machine to fully appreciate the gorgeous graphics. The funny thing is, the game hasn't changed that much since launch, so all the negative reception was unfair.

I agree that narratively, and in terms of immersive experience, Cyberpunk 2077 is really next-gen. Add on top of that the incorporation as main character of a massive cinema icon and you can see the future of entertainment. I am also a photographer and filmmaker, and the cinematic qualities of its scenes are absolutely out of this world. Really too bad it got so much noise on release, cause it masked how much of a turning point this game is. Thx for the good time going back in Night City ^^.

    Great vid, one thing missing though, a warning to be in a good place in yourself before playing it. I had recently lost an old friend to depression and a broken heart, I dove into the last part of the game as a distraction after his memorial service. The cooperate with arasaka ending which felt like the right thing at the time was so traumatic. I was not prepared for a video game to be so deeply moving and effective at making you feel. Grief is a really difficult thing to deal with.
