Cyberpunk 2077: My Full Phantom Liberty Review

- It's incredible. Stay for my review, but yes, I gave it a 10, and Phantom Liberty the perfect capstone after years of trauma and recovery from the original Cyberpunk 2077 launch.
This makes me so happy. I’ve always loved 2077 and now it’s getting universal love and praise
The same thing happened before the release of the main game. Everyone was praising it to heaven. And the result was as exiting as pizza with banana
It released in a dog shit state. It is what it is.
Bro. There is zero universal praise. The turd is polished. Stop nutting.
@@coasterplay1062 yea but this time we already know it’s not gonna be like launch so my expectations are actually high
Wow, only took several years and severely damaging trust
This is so awesome to hear! I bought Cyberpunk for like $20 about 3 months after it launched, and have been waiting 3 years to finally play it. Sounds like the wait was worth it!
Props for holding yourself back for so long! I bought it on PC at launch and had a good time, but all the updates since have quickly turned it into one of my all-time favorite games. Tho, I kinda wish I could experience it for the first time again with the 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty.
I will do the same thing.
For those wondering when Phantom Liberty kicks in, it’s after you complete the Voodoo Boys chapter after meeting Alt for the 1st time. You will then get a call from Songbird(?) to start the DLC
Thanks!
CDPR said phantom liberty starts after the voodoo boys questline for those wondering
BETTTT, I literally put my manual save in Pacifica right before getting into the questline
Despite all the bugs and all the problems I loved cyberpunk from the day it launched on PC! I played the story once and spent like 90 hours finishing it with almost everything I could do at the time. I always wanted to play it again! Looks like 2.0 might be the time to re-instal it :)
Same! I’m not really one for replaying games that much, but 2.0 playthrough into Phantom Liberty next week has me desperate to get back to night city
wow
Crazy how many shit-eaters are out there.
@@MrTaylork1thought the same dude
@@MrTaylork1 You would know.
I appreciate his reviews because he picks up on minutia most of us wouldn't consider until we've become very familiar with a game
I will be starting over from scratch. Looking forward to it!
me too, this will feel like a brand new game with all the changes and the dlc
Great review. i loved the base Cyberpunk 2077 game, so i was looking forward to new story content. Glad to hear Phantom Liberty is great.
its been a real trip watching / reading your coverage of cyberpunk 2077. From frustration at your criticisms to the game on launch because I felt you were ignoring the great game that was underneath, to literally watching you now praise what I believe to be a fantastic game... and along the way learning to respect your well reasoned criticisms and appreciate your analysis as a reviewer. It probably wont matter much since youre a big shot on Forbes but ive subscribed and look forward to everything you have to say on games because you might just be one of the most credible commentators on this subject around. And I grew up with the good giant bomb
We are all wanting this game to be good
I played at launch on a good pc (ryzen 7 3700x and 2080, then later 5800x and 3080) so my experience was good from day 1. While you were hard on cdpr for the launch, I felt like you were really the only reviewer that didn’t just fully lean into the memes of cyberpunk dead game. So your glowing review means that much more for sure!
Great review man. Time to install it again
Thanks for the review!
Reviews out a full week early. Thats a good sign
Cannot wait!
@Paul Tassi is the controller gameplay any different? a major turnoff was how janky it feels currently
I am so ready for this.
Thanks for the tip that 2.0 comes out tomorrow (though it might be out already with a UK launch time), i thought I'd have to wait until Phantom Liberty. I got the game on sale a few months ago when I heard about 2.0 and figured I'd wait until that launched to play. I wasn't necessarily planning on getting Phantom Liberty, but I may have to now
This has been a hell of a year for games, my wallet can't keep up
Starfield, cyberpunk dlc…. Anything else?
@@BumpTune8462that's funny, those are the only two games I've been looking forward to as well
We still have Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, and A.C. Mirage all just next month
Baldur's Gate 3, brother@@BumpTune8462
@@BumpTune8462 Baldur's Gate 3 & Armored Core 6. Both are excellent games.
I have been counting the seconds since the reveal to jump back into 2077. I played for the first time in January and it's been my favorite game this year with Remnant as a close second.
Can you confirm if Mantis Blades finishers still fuck you out of Sandevistan? Like before it used to either use up all your time, or straight up take you out of it/cancel it
The lensflares in this update look fantastic
CDPR saying the game at launch running "surprisingly well" on last gen consoles is because they were surprised it ran at all.
Do the new radiant quests (drop ship) occur outside dog town?
Yo what's the funnest class with the update?
Great video
Is there a perk shard in Dogtown? I’m missing 1 point in 2.0….
The base game and Phantom liberty is on sale for $60 on steam right now until oct. 1st, and that is a pretty great deal for what this game offers. If you don't own the base game, this is the perfect time to pick it up.
Is that one respec per character, considering you may have three characters?
If I only buy Phantom Liberty do I get the base game also? Or do I have to buy both? Thank you all!
So hyped ❤
I’m very glad they’ve been able too turn this game around, I was all in at the start I even bought some collectibles and was pretty disappointed when I got my hands on it but always said that without the bugs and performance it would be a excellent game
I did 4 play through despite the bugs. I loved the game them. I’ll love it even more now.
According to some Googling, the voice actress of Songbird is Minji Chang.
I wish these reviews would come out closer to its release
So there’s no more legendary armor to get ?
good lord i am so excited to make a full cyberpsycho build
hello tasselhoff
Please explain why to start the game over?
I love this. The launch was a mess but damn did they pull it together. The story was always good, I'm glad the game eventually caught up. Sweet.
Buddy its been almost 3 years
@@sneed915so? The fact is they didn’t ditch it like other AAA gaming companies do.
Hate the game (and CDPR) if you wish. You have every right to.
But can we please stop grieving those of us who are a little more forgiving and enjoyed the experience regardless?
@@sneed915 How does the passage of time change a fact?
This is such good news! Can't wait! #SanDivestianCyberware
It's a bit ridiculous that the CDPR marketing team is blocking reviewers from using their own gameplay footage. My takeaway, just like last time around, is that the developers, writers, gameplay designers, and the vast majority of other people in the post-game credits are incredible at what they do, while the execs and marketing team do their best to undermine them at every turn.
Damn, I want to get back in and play but still playing through Starfield. Gamers are so spoiled now, too many great games to play!
Same, and I didn't even get close to fininshing Baldurs Gate 3, which is also fantastic
Shocking this somehow turned out well
Hey, Paul. What kind of camera and mic do you use to record your videos?
He uses a Sony Handycam DCR-TRV10E for video and a Shure 55 Unidyne for the microphone
@@PhucYuBich Hey, thanks for the info! Wait... How do you know all that? Haha
@ChimpoTalksGaming lol I'm trolling I have no clue what he uses. That video camera is ancient lmao it's from around the 80s and I believe the microphone is like from the 50s
Lol, how dare you!
I swore I would never get hyped for cyberpunk again. Now I am refreshing GoG every 10 minutes because in this broken timeline CDPR hasn't released the patch yet. It is the 21st right?
Even though you have some biases for the game. your honest about that and the game. Alot of reviews are just gushing over the game and not many are talking about what they dont like.
Paul you gotta look into The First Decendent. Very destiny like.
이제 여기에 후반부 사이버 스켈레톤 착용가능 + 실험체 데이비드 주검 나오면 95점 갑니다!
I played 40 hours at launch, never finished it but remember really enjoying the story.
What put me off was the bugs, glitches and lack of RPG mechanics, poor driving and missing wanted system.
I have been waiting years to replay this game. The downside is there are just too many good games this year and I just don’t know where I have time to play this yet
High praise for an expansion, waiting for 26th and probably will start from existing character 'cause ain't got pations for this
As far as ammo goes - I have 17000 rounds for my main gun and 1M credits. The semi Beowulf is incredibly efficient with ammo while being a good weapon in many scenarios, from one shot headshots from concealment, and works close up shooting fast.
Wrong game bro
@@itsKyyyle😂 super weird, I didn’t even watch this video, not sure how this comment ended up here.
Man Paul has been a busy man. lol full time gaming guy instead of Destiny guy only haha
Yea he deserves the sweet suffering of addiction withdrawal. It is his destiny to grace us as only he can with his views on OTHER GAMES. Hee hee hee...
Why would they pull the same thing they did when the game came out with regards to review footage
Man you had to go and mention how good Cherami Leigh is. I've done 2 playthroughs and each time with her because I love her voice and performance so much in this and was determined to make my 2.0 playthrough with male V and now I'm conflicted again.
Comparing to blood and wine is a tough competitor, blood and wine is probably my favorite dlc of all time.
This was one of my favorite games before 2.0 dropped. Combat is still easy...but feels tedious now due to level scaling. Police need to be turned down a bit as they seem to aggro a bit too easily....but at least they are still dumb as jumping up onto something is usually enough to make them go blind and forget about you. I prefer the passive perks to the limited paths you can take now when spending perk points....meh. Can't comment on the PL story yet though.....as I am was only 3 missions in when I got bored and went off to play something....anything....else.
It probably didn't help that the Chimera boss glitched at 2% health and no prompt appeared so I had to restart the game and the fight 6 times before I lucked out and was able to finish it off....
To be honest, I have experienced more bugs....including major bugs that require a restart to continue...since 2.0 than I did at launch....far more...including CTDs.
This game had such promise, but it failed at launch. I hope its a fun game now.
I love this game
Does anyone know what time 2.0 releases tomorrow? They have times for the dlc launch but not the patch
It's not been officially announced, but it's likely either 12pm PST, which is the usual time for past patches, or 7pm PST, which is the time the game itself launched and I believe the time for the DLC launch on Tuesday.
Most likely after the RED stream
2.0 update launches most likely 8am PST on steam, otherwise it's guaranteed by 10am since that's when steam does their store update
Time to mod myself a few million eddies in preparation for 2.0 and PL.
The ol duplication glitch never fails, I left the aldecaldos destitute 😂and they still let me join
Just I need to do a replay of the original and the DLC when I can afford it.
Classic no mans sky redemption arc
Now we need new mods
Anyone know if we get a free skill reset for our pre-update characters?
You do, yes.
Thank you
My uncle works at Phantom Liberty so I get all the phantoms before they are liberated.
You're a bad person with bad jokes
I bet he likes it more than starfield
Im happy, at least, that the dlc is diving into the more political aspects of the cyberpunk world. The Peralez quest was one of the most memorable stories in the game.
Now i can brag about my xbox 1x cyberpunk version lol.
The 'alien isolation' part of one of the endings is just terrible. The 'Killing Moon' ending branch is by far the best.
My one concern is the new police chase system. Otherwise I’m excited for the update.
In the GTA games there are so many fun ways to break the law…rob a gas station, blow up a cash truck on the highway, steal an airplane etc.
But in cyberpunk the only real way to break the law is essentially by assaulting someone on the streets or stealing a car.
Did they add anything new in this regard?
To be fair, it makes sense that you have to commit some more egregious actions in order to catch the ire of the NCPD since crime is so rampant.
Lets be real, it's not any more rampant than Liberty City. What incentive do I have to shoot civilians and cops on the street? Just so that I can interact with their new police chase system? This is a sandbox issue.@@The_Babe
I don’t think that the overhaul is going to change things *that* much! This game was never meant to be GTA2077, no matter how deceptively it was marketed.
I don't think it has to be GTA2077 to add a few more law breaking mechanics to go along with their brand new police chase system. It just seems silly to not do this. But, like I said, I'm generally excited for the update.@@JosieJOK
for the algorithm
🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨 PLEASE HAND CANNON REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!😖😖😖
The one V uses to destroy the motorcycle in the trailer. A good hand cannon is the only thing that would make me consider buying the DLC.
Hi
Got bored with starfield, good thing it was gamepass. Ill get cyberpunk now since need to get around a world.
So better than Starfield then. Got it.
That bar is so low it’s underground
Spoiler much ? I stopped straight at 6:37 when you started going on about actual story beats. Not coming around anytime soon.
I bought the game in the beginning got a refund came back and controller controls still felt fucking awful glad they offered a trial so i could know im never buying this game unless i get a pc
i mean it sounds like escape from new york lol
There are spoilers in this vid 🤦🏼♂️
I may be in the minority of players who didn't like the voice work for either male or female V. I found both to be pretty flat, them having this breathy tough-guy hoarse/whisper voice delivery the entire game...like someone doing an impression of a tough guy for laughs.
I liked the male. My first playthru was female and I 100% agree about that though. she infuriated me with how tough she always tried to sound. I hated that I couldn't change it throughout the playthru but didn't wanna restart after many hours progress.
Elba's performance was a let down. He's been on a downward trend since The Wire, and the amount of work CDPR's animators do can't prop his performance up to 'good'. He has decent scenes, especially in one of the ending branches, but most of the time he's very bland, particularly when you push him before 'the ambush'.
Yet another game I am going to play instead of Destiny.
Best game in years. 700 hours in and i still cant get enough
Yeah saying you save the president in the intro is a spoiler. Brilliant.
This sounds exactly like what everyone was saying about the original game before it launched. I just can't trust anything related to this game. Ever.
Is this 2020 all over again? All the reviewers hyping up the game despite there being another B-roll footage embargo. It's like deja uv.
6:20 huge spoiler.
Just because Something Happens early on in the game doesn’t make it not a spoiler. Thanks for ruining that part for me.
That's why I prefer staying 2-3 years back hardware and software wise. Safer, steadier and cheaper.
Excited to finally play the version of the game I thought I bought 3 years ago....
Ah so the 3 year beta is over?
It was only ever a beta if your weak PC couldn't run it. For the rest of us, we been enjoying the game for years now. Don't have peasant problems sorry
@mariov6048 No need to be a dick about it, PCs are still kinda expensive.
@@bighatbenny4922 no need to be a dick saying the game was in beta but here we are. You'll be alright
@@mariov6048Ok
@@bighatbenny4922Yeah that poster is just another fanboy white knighting for his favorite game.
Hearing you pronounce sandevistan wrong in a post edge runners world is borderline unacceptable 😤
CD pulled a no man's sky I've been loving the 2.0 and Judy is the most mid woman in night city
Thanks for spoiling half the story line.
Can I ever get to the point where I have the best Cyberware in every slot like before? Because if not that is a straight up bullshit nerf
GOTY after STarfield
Nothing is 10/10
CDPR squandered Cyperpunks potential. We could have gotten a dlc in outer space or on the moon, but because of their ethics we probably never will.
They have a sequel in the works, and I’m pretty sure they’d wanna start on a fresh batch of code to be able to add a whole other aspect of physics to a game, I agree that they could’ve aimed a lot higher with the extensive lore they have to work with/extrapolate on, hopefully cp 77 2 is a prequal because the table top stuff sounds wayyy cooler
Stop talking about the plot man, wtf
The game itself is still very flawed. Even with the new systems. But the expansions is almost a separate slice of the game.
