Thank you so much choom for this thoughtful video. Much love!
Anytime pawel, so happy you guys ended up showing the world how great the game is, good luck on Orion choom
BTW nie zapomnijcie o kontynuacji historii Sandry Dorsett i małżeństwa Peralezów. Mój ulubiony wątek w grze i nie chcę by pozostał nierozwiązany ;)
Lmao you know this game isn't what was advertised and promised and yet you love to play the "oh yeah we fixed the game and everyone loves it" no bro the game is still a linear looter shooter story game not the open world rpg that was advertised and promised for years real ones know this game is mid at best.
Thank you for crafting some of the absolute best quests video gaming has to offer
@@CrowofYharnamhave you even played the game? it has a linear cinematic main storyline, set in an open world, where the player can choose where they take the action. the side stories are some of the best original content in the game. the world is like a collection of stories and the player gets to actively discover them through their actions. it is an action game, an arpg, so there arent life skills like fishing and cooking. it isnt a dating sim either. i dont know what else you want from an action rpg but you sound like a spoiled baby who's never had to work hard to create something before. you have the imagination of a fish. cp2077 is a technical marvel that got rushed out by greedy suits and investors. cdpr worked hard on the game and continued to work hard fixing it and even went above and beyond with the scale and scope of phantom liberty. millions of gamers are loving their time in cp2077. you not so much. that's your problem. just go back to playing CoD or madden and leave the more sophisticated games to the more intellectually-minded gamers.
It's heartwarming when you choose the Aldecaldos ending. I experienced this in version 1.0. So yes, cyberpunk 2077's magic has existed since the beginning.
So true, and thanks for watching!
Would be if Panam wasn't a disgusting mutt.
Nar not really me and my cousin could not get through first mission coz of how broken it was the
AI dude was walking into lockers and shit

Cyberpunk is an lessons in philosophy about our own lives and future and how to spend what time we have left on this earth and that’s the brutal and harsh messaging in cyberpunk genre like this and Blade runner where towards the end you feel sorry for Roy Batty and the poetry that he said about tiers in the rain that was powerful that made him redeemed as an flawed character and that scene I love so much .
I let Johnny live in my first playthrough.
As someone who always held this franchise in high regard, even its less than ideal initial release in 2020, I will always appreciate your unconditional love and support for this game.
Thanks for all the support along the way!
Most people are haters. Looking or things to cry about. Regurgitated thoughts. I definitely feel as though you are not only true to heart gamer but also person. Great reviews
He is acting like a teenage simp who fell in love with a girl just taking advantage of him.
@@spiritsplice You speak like a weak human being with no connection to other people. Maybe you're just not as insightful as you think you are and she was dropping you the hints she didn't like you. I mean, that's what this lil outburst is about right? You projecting your weaknesses on others?
People that have played the tabletop rpg can appreciate this game. People that are solely video game people absolutely hate this game. Then there are the bandwagon people who hate it, then love it at the whim of the mobs. I love it because of the lore bits in the game.
I love this game so goddamn much. I already considered it as one of my top 5 games, but it just continues to climb the more I think about it. It has a moment for every single emotion. Confronting the father/son braindance editors is just as rage inducing as the Aldecaldo campfire scene is serene. And finishing the game for the second time recently, I felt every scene just as powerfully as the first time I played.
Same after diving more into it again with 2.1 and PL omg the lore is just rich
The gunplay in Cyberpunk is some of the most finely tuned action I've ever experienced in a video game. That's one thing that always kept me coming back.
About to break 1000 hours in this game, played and loved every iteration from release date.... And I still press the walk button, never fast travel, and get invested in the characters and story... easily still the greatest game world and story I've ever played
This is next on my play list. At what point (hour mark) did you stop getting side missions?
@goatcoffee honestly I got almost 250 hours out of my full playthroughs before the dlc. Although in full fairness I do stop to take photos quite a bit and like I said I let myself get wrapped up in the world and do things like, walk through areas that you wouldn't run through, only play on very hard mode, have pretty much all my hud turned off (500 or so hours at least even without the map), etc
@@dustinsonger851 that’s awesome. I think it’s that kind of game-Walking instead of running. I’m doing some of that now in horizon forbidden west.
@@dustinsonger851
Dam you ain't fcn around, i wish i had that level of patience lol
@GORILLA_PIMP haha well I'm almost 40 so I gotta like slow old man games with quick bursts of action I guess haha, elite dangerous, kerbal, old jrpg's, etc. I try to keep up but even being someone who grew up on armored core games I struggled like hell to beat ac6
This game, along with Disco Elysium are filled with so much love for humanity, for life, all without it going into something annoyingly idealistic or absolutely hopeless.
The fact that everyone you've met sends you a message at the end shows you just how the littlest things can make all the difference in this world where nobody owns anything but their chosen family
You hit every single point, I love Cyberpunk and seeing you be just as passionate over WHY means so much to me. Like you, this has been declared my favorite game of all time. The world it builds and the relationships and friends you make along your journey in this game is unmatched.
It really is just that good of a game and I’m happy others finally are seeing it too, thanks for watching!
You love listening to 20mins of talking and five minutes gameplay?
@@IBTUElaborate please.
@@IBTU I actually do enjoy talking more, I always skip fighting scenes in the novels I read as well :)
@@imanv8355 well, mate, it s not a lets play. It s sort of a review and discussion video. Given you understand the difference, talking, explaining and discussing are a big part of those kind of videos.
Bravo on this - I too felt the exact same way playing through the game since day one (granted, on a fairly high end PC). This game has always made me actually, for lack of a better word, feeeeel more than another. CDPR has always been phenomenal at creating missions with little to no combat that wreak of dense, emotional storytelling and CP2077 took this to another level entirely. Phantom Liberty expanded on this even more while patch 2.0 was just the icing on the cake.
My thoughts exactly
Feel. The operative word for this game.
I have played the game since day 0 on and off. The only point where I was unhappy with the game was the first week or two when it would actually crash on my PC and full of glitches like trees showing through buildings. After 1.2 or something like that it was pretty good despite not being what we had been promised. 1.6 was darn good and 2.0 is just really good, what it should have been at launch.
"...and the World that they live in feels like it's own character, all to itself, one that will carry on with or without you."
This is something sorely missing from modern AAA gaming and the most important quality I've come to expect from CDPR and their narrative driven worldbuilding as a Witcher fan. That's a massive accomplishment.
There really isn’t any other world or city like it it’s insane how good of a job they did on that aspect
Absolutely amazing choom, I vividly remember the first time going to youtube to see how much everyone else was loving this game... three days of near straight playing after launch middle of covid lockdown and being met with a barage of hate... telling my friends to play it as it's one of the most best experiences I've ever had in gaming and being shut down with citings from videos and articles of how broken the game was. This was a beautiful love letter to a beautiful game that I will return to as soon as I finish phantom liberty xD
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Agree choom 😂
This is exactly what my friend has done to me, and now tears have been shed for this game. Already clocked in 100 hours and more are to come. Beautiful.
Well, I could not have said it any better. This game will go down as a Legend in the end.
The stories of the characters, falling in love with Judy, riding the tank to freedom with Panam to that amazing sound track... just an amazing game.
The best moments out there in games for sure
Im glad someone made this video. "Cyberpunk is finally fixed" is the most frustrating, repeated commentary title of all time. The game has been a great one in its core from the start and for me atleast was completely beatable and enjoyable its FIRST week on PC. People seemed to ignore the endings and story by latching to the hate train due to its bugs and launch on last gen (which is fair) and only began to give the game a legit chance when the anime suceeded. Its just kinda annoying.
100% agree here, I’m just happy it finally got the love it deserves though, thanks for supporting the channel!
Indeed, this game is the pinnacle of gaming for me. Cyberpunk 2077 is not yet another regular and forgettable story on the market of video games, but something more. It is that which brings joy every time it's booted up. It is that which lets us forget the troubles of our realities. It is that which many hold dear, describing it as the game that brought them out of darkness. Even if one does not share the same excitement and feelings as the aforementioned type of person, one cannot deny the game's potential to bring something meaningful into one's life. I truly loved playing Cyberpunk and still do. Not many companies have the ability to forge such impactful games. But to those that do, such as CD Projekt Red - not only with Cyberpunk 2077, but the Witcher Trilogy too - I salute them for their efforts and hope that they find it within themselves to never cease their aspiration of evolving.
Hey man, great video! You’re not the only one to whom Cyberpunk was love at first sight. Before playing that game I wasn’t familiar with Cyberpunk as such and this game really blew me away and helped me to discover music and literature about Cyberpunk. I’ve already completed it 4 times and it still amazes me to this very day. I think it’s my second best favorite game next to Red Dead Redemption 2
Really appreciate the kind words thanks for watching !
should I buy Cyberpunk or RDR2 first?
@@francissalvator8729I’d say it depends what you like, but I think if you’re into the story and the lore go with Cyberpunk but if you like big open world games go with RDR 2 first
damn game has brought a tear to my eye more times than id like to admit
The game was always good...i knew when it came out the rest of the world would catch on.
Always had the same feeling too, thanks for watching!
No you're just delusional and the world only changed their mind when UPDATES happened, that's not the world catching on, that's the pathetic company catching on.
Oh hell yea..I still play it on base ps4..in the VR headset tho...super immersive
I agree so much with how even before update 2.0 and Phantom Liberty, the game already had so much to offer. Full of great stories and choices that were impactful - Yes, maybe not world shattering, but impactful, because they made you think. A lot of the side quests and gigs and the choices within them remain with me to this day and I've been playing since launch. One example of that is a gig where you're tasked by a cop to retrieve a cctv footage for his investigation. Turns out, that cctv footage is of a murder he committed. The player would be presented with the choices of killing him, taking his bribe, or calling him out on it but not killing him. I chose to call him out on it but didn't kill him because I was a merc for hire after all, not some justice warrior, and I didn't want to disappoint my fixer, which is that cop's friend. Later on in the game, I walk in at a bar and found that cop there. I approached him and he started gloating about his promotion. That's when my choice of not killing him really hit me. Made me think if that fucker really deserved to live. There are many more gigs with impactful choices and moral dilemmas like that. Yes, it's not world shattering, Night City is still Night City, but it makes you think about life, your life, and how you make your choices.
As for Phantom Liberty. After finishing the main quest, side quests, and all the gigs in Dogtown, I thought I was finished with the expansion, but much later on at a random location in Corpo Plaza, I stumbled upon a guy that I helped in one of the gigs in the expansion, and he was grateful but kinda irked that I didn't kill the person that's been harassing him and his buddy. I also received a text messaged from another person from one of the gigs in Dogtown after a few days when I thought I've finished all activities in the expansion.
I've played so many great games. Mass Effect series, The Witcher 1-3, Ghost of Tsushima, Red Dead Redemption 2, etc but I've always thought Cyberpunk 2077 belonged to their tier even right after release on PC version, and now with update 2.0 and Phantom Liberty, it just solidifies it as my favorite game of all time.
Last paragraph is my thoughts exactly too, it’s always been such a deep and meaningful game.
Thanks for the continued support!
Yea i was fighting with my friends over it! Its such a good Game since day one! Yea there were buggs and crashes but the fundation was there since day one! Im so glad and thankfull CD PR dont abondend this pice of art and made with PL and 2.0 this raw diamand to one of the best Games this year! And now my friends see it to! ♥️
There's something about CDPR games that I just connect with like no other and that leaves me with a completely hollow feeling after I finish them. So glad to see the devs get the praise they deserve after Phantom Liberty.
Big props for this dedicated video but I have one small objection: What you call "hate" was (mostly) legitimate criticism, because yes, CP2077 was indeed an absolute mess to begin with. But all the harsh criticism that CDPR received resulted in the developer ultimately reacting and presenting players with a solid result. Unfortunately, the only thing that can help these days is a "major offensive" so that the (gaming) companies no longer ignore their customers.
the only "legitimate" criticism cyberpunk, or cdpr, can reasonably get is about why they lied that the game runs well on last gen and weak pcs. theres really nothing else. most things that were "promised" never directly came from them, and those that did, had a good reason why they were scrapped.
This game is full of passionate emotions. The best of the best and worst of the worst, what so many of us deal with daily, with a point that moving forward means so much. There's scenes that blow your mind, make you cry, and remember that art truly makes us feel. This game reminds us that in an unruly and dangerous world, there is life and love. You're losing everything to find something better. This game also shows us that looks can be deceiving, and we need to look deep into every eye, every mind, and every soul.
Great work, choom!
im the type of gamer who likes little details in the games, when I do missions I always get lost in exploring the scenery, I even look every npcs designs and dialogues. I won't deny I skip most of the missions dialogues but I always appreciate how game company's make this stories. It always amaze me that there are writers who can do that in games.
I admit I stayed away from it from the heavy criticism upon release but soon after when I got a chance to buy it soon after...I regret every second I did not support it the moment it was announced. It has since become my favorite game of all time for all the same exact reasons you mentioned. Quite literally put my thoughts into words. I am incredibly proud of what CDPR has been able to accomplish with this resurgence. Incredible video choom❤ long live Night City!
Thanks so much for the kind words and support!
You made the right decision. I bought this on day one and the hate was well earned. It was a broken, buggy mess and on previous gen consoles it was borderline unplayable to the point Sony even refunded store purchases (something they’ve never done before or since). The game today is incredible but the launch game was one of the biggest screw ups in gaming history. I feel like this video is strongly trying to gloss over what a catastrophe it was. But the developers stuck it out and turned a turd into gold which they deserve credit for.
Just completed the Phantom Liberty today, cyberpunk was always my 2nd favourite game and now the expansion is cheery on the top . Never goona forget the MEMORIES attached to it.
That’s what it was all about for me too, thanks for watching!
It's my 2nd game of all time and I haven't even finished the core. Haven't started Phantom Liberty at all yet either. Curious, what is your #1?

Love the video! A lot of truth in it, especially about the emotional story and elements that drive the game to it's peak.
Cyberpunk to me just makes me realize just how important it is to live in the moment as your most genuine self
I feel you choom. Not many games that i can call my favorite and Cp77 definitely one of them. I just can’t get enough of this world.
With the release of PL I am closing to 900+ hours. I don’t know where i spent all of this hours (maybe gog count bugged out i dunno) but all of them was worth it
Your passion for this game is admirable Lord Frankly!
Love the channel man watched a ton of your stuff especially on baldurs gate 3
@@FranklyGaming We are honoured and humbled by this admission Lord Frankly. I wish you glory and success with the channel. Your passion is palpable. I too have come round to Cyberpunk in time, though the game does depress me quite a bit. I hope one day you can do this full time!
Right on dude. Agree with everything. Beautiful affecting experience. Such a great world to get lost in… love the lore and the huge effort cdpr put into this.
You too man. A Great tribute.
Thanks for the kind words!
The story has always matter more to me than the gameplay and that’s why I loved this game so much. The music also helped.
" life is not about blaze of glory, its about the quiet life, giving back to a world and city, even when it has taken so much from you "
considering my current situation, You have no idea how much, how deep, how strong that hit me. but to be honest, i believe it gave me some kind of hope.
Thank You!
Loved your narrative prediction for Cyberpunk 2. I really hope they go in this direction. Good job on this video!
I’m hoping they do something like that for sure, and thanks for the support!
This is the only open world RPG game where I have done 7 play throughs within 3 years of release. Working on my 8th play through right now. Such a great game.
DAYUM!!
I’ve had 3 and just got PL and an Xbox series X today so I’m waiting with bated breath while it downloads. Which couldn’t be fast enough lol.
@@nickbriggs8059 Bro, have fun! PL is just off the hook man. God I wish they made one more DLC.
The biggest accomplishment to me is how seamless the world is. Little to no loading screens.
Most people: "Wait, Cyberpunk 2077 is a good game now?"
Cyberpunk 2077, aiming the gun: "Always have been..."
Fantastic video. It's refreshing to hear someone express so many thoughts I agree with and even leave me appreciating the opinions I disagree with.
It always broke my heart hearing so many people crap all over this game, especially when at its core it's always been a masterpiece. The story, characters, dialogue, and setting of cyberpunk are unmatched in my own opinion.
It's great to see this gem finally getting the love and appreciation it deserves.
So happy to see all the love for the game now too, and thanks for supporting my channel!
Thank you for this amazing love letter to one of the greatest games of these past years. A true masterpiece ♥
Never fade away.
Thanks for the support!
Cyberpunk is a Cautionary tale of how hype can hurt a game and how we need to manage our expatations and not let our imagination run wild.
This game is a complete package of Action, Story, and Emotion. It's the best game ever 🤗
I completely and wholeheartedly agree with your intro. I got the buggy mess at release and worked through all the adversity and experienced the most amazing roleplaying experience of my lifetime to date.
I played from childhood and always loved roleplay games of all sorts including some obscure titles (Paranoia and Cthulhu come to mind along with Shadowrun). I am in my 50's now and still love a good RPG more than any other type of gaming. The story the characters and the whole environment of Cyberpunk 2077 took me completely by surprise and I found in it the kind of roleplay experience I had not known since our weekly gatherings for one game or other where we all (six or seven of us due to occasional obligations for us all) really enjoyed the stories and the lives, trials and triumphs of our imaginary selves.
This game singlehandedly brought back the wonder, feelings and pure magical immersion of a new Imaginary self. Thank you CDPR for working through the hard times and bringing childlike joy and the trials and triumphs so sorely missed by me in modern gaming.
I remember getting this game on release day and picked up a Johnny silver hand figure and guidebook for collection. I played it for a while on Xbox and never ran into a problem but life got in the way and I stopped playing. Idk why but I stopped playing until a couple weeks ago when I saw Phantom Liberty and decided to start over but on my new PS5. It’s literally my type of world and I love it to death. It is my favorite RPG of all time. And to add to this, I just finished the Edgerunners show and visited all of the locations in game and it just makes it so much more special. Cyberpunk will always have a special place in my heart. I’m pretty much at end game and max stats. It’s going to be my first game to get platinum on. That’s just how much fun it is. It’s so rich in story telling and character relationships.it’s very engaging and hard to put down. There is just too much to do lol last game I 100% was Assassins Creed Black Flag. It’s rare to find a game like this that is so addicting. Thank you CD Projekt Red for this, seriously.
Such an amazing game for sure, and thanks for watching!
I know how you feel about the game. I kinda had an "unfair advantage" of loving this game. Only cause i got into cyberpunk stuff after i saw Blade Runner 30 years ago and became damn near obsessed. 2077 let me finally live my dream of living in a blade runner-esque world. 😄
The world, characters, history and facial expresions are alive.
And gameplay, action furious RPG, I do dont play GTA, because there is not this rpg flavor.
Cyberpunk is the game that changed my life. I'm fundamentally a different person after playing it, day 1, bugs and all. The fact that you picked Kerry's boat song to be the background music for this video shows that you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.
Seeing this after "The Most Profound Questions Ever Asked in Games" being the first video I watched from you feels like things coming full circle.
Its just sad that cyberpunk keeps being, well, sad. Its great but man it keeps getting me.
No Coincidence is also a good novel in the world of Pondsmiths Cyberpunk. Can recommend the Audiobook, read by fem V's VA.
Some of my favorite videos I have made so you picked good ones 😂, appreciate all the support
The same people who defended Bethesda all those years and praised BG3 as game of the decade despite its many issues refused to give the same courtesy to this one. Shameful.
Ya I always found it so weird too, life ain’t fair haha
BG3 is excellent, but it has horrifically bad UX issues nobody seems to talk about. Does my head in how it gets a pass on everything - was hoping the wider gaming community would grow up and learn to spot issues over time... It's gone the other way. Folks are more influenced by hype than ever.
You brought me to tears with this video, specially because i watched it after finishing phantom liberty, i feel so seem, i had the same experience you had since launch in 2019 and i find myself thinking the same
This game is the first in my lifetime to move me to tears several times for several reasons. I had happy tears, sad tears, and even tears from laughing so much at certain points. It is the best single player experience I have ever had. Part of its magic is how often i read about the experiences of others online being ENTIRELY different from my own while being 100% valid. It is a master-class in writing/character building when people playing the same game can have powerfully different reactions to the same material. Great video, cheers!
finally. ive grown tired of people just critisizing cyberpunk when theyve obviously never played it. the entire video is basically me playing the game even on day 1 (pc). i was so confused, it seemed like everyone else was playing something entirely different. ive put it 500+ hours and the game is definetely my number 1 now. great video, keep it up choom
Modern game design philosophy: 1) Release unfinished, buggy product to make quarterly earnings, 2) Have your beta testers (customers) perform QA for free, 3) Release patches/DLC to bring game up to where it should have been years ago at launch. "Better to ask forgiveness later than permission now".
I think games are just so complex and such a high risk now it makes sense to an extent.
For example baldurs gate 3, probably the best rpg of all time, was 3 years “early access” for full price
@@FranklyGaming baldurs gate 3 didnt lie about begin in "early access"and cp77 came out as a "full release" so this isnt the best example imo
@@nd7783 I think that’s irrelevant the price was the same which is what really counts in the end.
I agree tho there is a reason it’s fine in baldurs case for sure have to be upfront
You can find a video about Cyberpunk development. Some of problems was a problem with outsourcing QA to some company, which scammed them.
I love the devs see this video. It’s a really touching tribute to a fantastic game. It’s so difficult to make a game like this, one that has an emotional impact that stays with you.
Great video.
I felt the same way about cyberpunk. I never fast travelled, and I always felt involved with the gigs. They might not change a whole lot in the grand scheme of things, but still, the small thing like getting a call to hear how thing ended always felt fulfilling.
In my opinion, it makes a lot of sense that the gigs in dogtown do change the world. It's a lawless place. No Corp that can put a stop to things. Just imagine a ripperdock taking over a church in night city. Either a gang or Corp would put a stop to that.
I think if patch 2.0 was the launch version of the game, i wouldn't have endeared myself so much to it. My first playthrough was focused on story and characters, so i got to know the world and got a feel for all the players in that world. My next playthrough was playing with different responses, actions, and outcomes. When 1.5 dropped, I had my play style figured out and was full-on in immersion. I've been playing a new file since 2.0 went live and there is a lot here I don't know i would have noticed or appreciated had it all been there day one.
Ya there is a special sense of appreciation you get as someone that played it day 1 for sure I think, that if you just started now you might now realize
Cyberpunk 2077 has the world I fell in love with starting from it's launch, but the constant challenges of it's broken state masked the beauty it definitely posses. Now that all the brokeness has been minimized to it's least along with the arrival of the expansion. it's beauty shines. One thing I feel like CDPR missed though. No official flying vehicles or mechanic. mod is good, but mod is to a point not enough. Still Love the game, been having multiple playthroughs throughout the year.
Ya flying vehicles in the sequel would be awesome, one issue is it would make the art on the ground less noticeable if you are always flying around.
Maybe only let players unlock it after super late game
@@FranklyGaming Definitely lategame where you can acess flying with ease, such as modified personal AV or modified/customized car that flies. But throughout the early to half pats of the game, just limit it's access like only being able to access it on AVs & stations of Flying transportation & they can make the combat around flying vehicles as interesting as Ground vehicular combat.
It'll also be good if they'll make the Crystal Palace available or even just small part of it. Flying vehicle such as Rockets can be viable on getting up there. & I hope it won't be too much to have at least level section, mission, Setpieces that'll set in the Moon colonies if viable. There's just a lot they could expand on this world whilst still setting it on Night City for the second game.
But after Cyberpunk 2077 release, I'll prolly expect less to not get my hopes up. As long as it's more improved, more expansive than the first game, Narrative, Atmosphere & gameplay wise I'll be down for Cberpunk 2.
Loved this game from day one and your vids about it, appreciate you giving it the recognition it deserves
Nightcity is like a west coast west side Chicago on crack hearing you describe the gunshots and shit in the background ngl coming from someone who grew up there
wow this guys makes such well produced videos and damn is he attrractive
Couldn’t have said it better me
Finishing cyberpunk 2077 and phantom liberty left me empty.. The way this game delivers its story is unmatched.
Same feelings here, never have ended a game with such strong feelings before, and thanks for supporting what I do!
This game, hands down, has the most seamless cutscene to gameplay animation that I've ever seen. There are games that have done it really well, like Jedi Survivor, but Cyberpunk is on a whole nother level.
Havent felt this empty after completing a game since blood and wine DLC. Damn you CDPR
They certainly botched it.
@@s3d843dude your comments make it sound epic lmfao
Amazing video! :) 2 years back now I modded the song 'Outro - M83' into Cyberpunks Radio Stations because of the 'Love, Family, Greed, and Power' video you made. I think of your closing narration every time it comes on the radio as I drive through Night City. Cyberpunk truly is an amazing game! it's so thought provoking and emotional, a true piece of art that will never fade away!
Just completed this amazing game the other day. The ending with my V and Panam as a couple riding off into the sunset with their family has so much hope for the future written into it! With Misty‘s tarot card reading, Panam’s contacts to help V, and all the other signs pointing towards them being able to find a cure for V is awesome! I hope we get to continue their story together. In my mind, they found the cure for V and they went off and lived a happy life in love, and with all their loved ones. Johnny being reunited with Alt is a fitting send off for him too. I just love these characters so much! I hope for a bright future, and to see them again!
I been here defending this game along with u since day one my guy lol
Can confirm lol
I'm still damaged and mending from some of the base game endings, almost half a year later, and couldnt start Phantom Liberty yet. Lets see if this video and your vaunt will help ;)
Prepare to be hurt again 😂
What im most amazed by this game is the "World building" everything just lines up like it's natural.
The world building and the architecture is the best part of the game it's high tier
What a fantastic video mate holy hell it’s great to hear lots of people did think from day 1 it has been a great no amazing game it’s something to be immersed in and sitting there and thinking about on what decisions to do and who will it impact those choices are the ones you remember you got yourself a new subscriber keep it up
As someone who has really struggled with depression at times, seeing the aftermath of that last ending was extremely powerful
Good stuff choom
Thanks as always choom
This video comes close to echoing all my thoughts I had while experiencing this game for the 2nd time, taking absolutely everything in. Cyberpunk 2077 really is something special.
Such an amazing game, thank you for watching!
I loved this game even when it set my ps4 on fire. I always came back. That's a sign of a good game.
The "hate" was from the false advertising. It is NOT an RPG. It's an action game. The game on its own isn't such an issue, but let's be lucid. CDPR falsely advertised a highly interactive RPG brimming with reactivity and interactivity throughout. I've researched the 2018 reveal a thousand times and it's something we won't get from this game. Maybe CP2 will deliver that RPG dream.
do you understand what rpg mean? role-playing game (RPG) is a game in which each participant assumes the role of a character that can interact within the game's imaginary world. Many RPGs are set in fantasy or science fiction environments. Aint cyberpunk set from any of it?
@@BerryMunchifywhat?
Couldn't agree more. They lied a lot - that's the problem. This video talks as if people didn't like the game. People liked the game but it had millions of technical issues AND it wasn't what developers claimed it was.
Pointing out egregious false advertising = "hate and vitriol"
Usual defense of CD Projekt fans
I found your channel only TODAY and boy I'm loving your content. There's something that just clicks with me and I can relate to what your ideas. ESPECIALLY when it comes to your thoughts about the Mass Effect trilogy and Cyberpunk. Cyberpunk has always been my fav game of all time above RDR2 or anything else I've played and ME trilogy is what comes second just because of world building and how great the story is (including the ending. it was great. idk why ppl hated it). TLDR there are many ppl out here like me who have the same beliefs as you and it's just refreshing to FINALLY see that someone else thinks the same despite how unpopular your thoughts are. you deserve at least 690K and not 69k subs fr. much love bro
Appreciate the kind words and support!
That hacking Mini-Game will cost people not to become netrunners if you had to do that every time that's just crazy
Exactly
Proving someone wrong THREE years after you were supposed to, is not really proving anything. More like making up
Its better. But its still not there yet. Npcs are lackluster, just like most open world interactive elements. Also, its still a buggy mess.
have you played the game? and i mean play the game not just watched some reviews and pretend you have
@@torphurus yes... its still buggy. If you disagree you are ignorant. It is muchh beter then before. But wonky stuff still happens all over. Cars randomly exploding once npcs get inside them. V having no arms in mirrors. Characters and npcs walking through through cars instead of around them etc etc etc. It happens less often. But it still happens!
@@morkofficial1cars randomly exploding when npcs get in them are car bombs. its a scripted dynamic event. its meant to happen. characters and npcs walking through cars are just so common across games like cyberpunk. its really not a big issue that doesnt affect gameplay at all. last time i checked V had arms in mirrors, idk what you mean. play the game, pay attention to the story, make a good build, explore the city, instead of trying to LOOK for the negatives. i think you might be the ignorant one with such a good game presented right in front of you.
@@torphurus i did rlly hurt your feelings did i? You are one ignorant child.
The thing with Cynthia, is that if you handle that situation negatively, she will give you the coldest shoulder later in the game when doing the Phantom Liberty quest. If you successfully patch things up between her and her hubby, she will greet you with open arms later. I won't say where or what exactly. But there are consequences (albeit small ones) to how you handle that situation.
Couldn’t agree more. I was in Absoulte disbelief in some parts at how engaged I was in the world. Haven’t felt that emotionally connected to a game in over a decade.
What are you talking about, 'proved everyone wrong'? Everyone was right. Everyone was right as fuck for three years. Even now the game is more broken than would be ideal for a launch title... there were three entire missions so broken the game didn't even allow me to complete them.
Yeah, it's great now, vastly improved, but that doesn't erase the past.
I was one of the lucky ones who didn't have too many problems at launch, the biggest problem I had was the occasional, sometimes frequent, crashes but I would usually just use them as a sign that it was time to stop playing for the day 😅. I'm on my 3rd playthrough now with the DLC and I'm still in awe of the world that was built.
I think noone talks about how any ending v uses alt cunningham to survive V is dead. She uses soul killer on you. The ending is an AI designed to be just like V in V's body but the character you were is gone. Just a thought its not your character driving off on the sunset or going to space.
What an inspiring video this is!!! Thank you for your effort. I've also played and loved this game from day zero, and although I haven't played in a while now, you motivate me to start another play through :D
Thanks for the kind words!
Great breakdown of the game. I’ve logged over 200 plus hours and have bought the game twice for different systems. I haven’t played a game this much since Skyrim released. I will sometimes just drive around the city. There’s so much to uncover and time to spend in the details and hidden parts of night city and dog town. One of the best games of all time.
Well said choomba this game as a special place in my heart that no other game has I feel I could come back to this gem at any time and not get tired of playing it, I have over 40 days clocked on Xbox and 300 hrs on ps5 there’s no other game I’d buy twice and play on other platforms than this game
I have to say, of all the stories in Cyberpunk 2077, I have a special affection for the one where Frank kept the dream alive until CDPR fixed the game enough that everyone else could see what he saw.
As someone who avoid any media and spoilers as much as possible, starting with 2.1: this is one of the best games ever.
I was also laughing at the videos of the boundless glitches on reliese. I never tried it, just laughed at its failure. A few days before phantom liberty released, i saw it on sale and tried it out. It plays so well now. I do did occasional texture glitches here and there, but overall, it runs extremely smooth. Not to mention how the story and gameplay hooked me almost immediately. Well done cyberpunk. You got the redemption you deserved.
This is the only game where I walk instead of running. I stay in the car when its raining. I lean into railings to appreciate the view. No other game comes close.
Other games are just a game, once over it's game over, Cyberpunk 2077 is an emotion that you always want to come back and experience.....
Thank you for this great Video!
Everything you said was truly relatable for me with about 500 hrs on pc in this Masterpiece of a Game.
This game is an absolute triumph, I am glad that after all these years since its original release it is finally getting its much deserved praise. After having finished it for the first time after the 2:0 update, it was a world I wanted to jump right back into for Phantom Liberty, also the endings...and variations Vs fate. Riding off into the sunset with Panam and Vs new tribe/ family was beautiful, was not expecting that. What an adventure...
I'm so glad to see this.. I was also one of the few enjoying the game when released and usually got dissed by friends for playing it lol
Sure it had bugs but not even close to others online maybe or on console. I believe most bugs were due to hardware issue I dunno..
This game truly pulled me in. Evelyn's storyline and so many, left me shaken honestly. It felt so, real like you said.
Great video man. Stellar script and philosophical approach.
It took 2 years one DLC and an anime serie, but we can now all agree that Cyberpunk 2077 blossomed into a true masterpiece.
I played Cyberpunk 2077 on day release on PC. It blew my mind from a visual standpoint, a compelling story and an immersive world.
I’ve yet to play 2.1 update or the phantom liberty expansion (it’s on my Christmas holiday list) but I cannot wait to jump back in.
Incredible thoughtful video, thank you for capturing so much of the beauty, nuance, and depth of my favorite game in years :)
Thank you for the support and kind words!
Man, I have so much to say after playing this game and watching so many great essays from the community.
I'm so happy I played this game during 2.0 because the gameplay is just incredible and is one of the best action RPGs I've ever played. Like you said in this video, I love that CDPR allows us to create these powerful builds that make us feel like gunslingers, ninjas, samurais, bruisers, hackers or any combination of those.
I also think people don't give the world enough credit. Not only is it devastatingly beautiful and immersive, but it is also decently interactive. I've seen the police conduct searches, trauma team conduct rescues, gang fights, and car chases happen.
But I think for so many of us the characters and the main story will forever be special. I love how V and Johnny's relationship grows from this antagonistic one to almost like 2 siblings. I love how the mission variety with Panam, Judy, River, and so many more feel distinct to each of the side characters.
After finishing Cyberpunk and Phantom Liberty, I still jump on to drive around and get in fights. There'll never be a game like this. And, just like many other great stories, finishing this game is such a bittersweet feeling.
Here's hoping Cyberpunk Orion can be everything CDPR and the fan hope it can be.
Your take on this game is simply wonderful.
Even more importantly, Listening to your opinions on decision making in this game makes me think that you’re a genuinely good human being.
A game haven't pulled me in like this in a long time. I really dove in the cyberpunk rabbithole after playing this game
I absolutely love this video. Thank you for it. Hits me in the feels. This game has been my favorite since day one. But more importantly you are right, the meaning behind this game and its narrative is like no other. I have never felt so much happiness, sadness, anger, and everything in between like this game offers.
PS. Panam is the love of my life lol
Glad you enjoyed and cool to see so many others think the same too, thanks for supporting the channel
I’m on my first ever play through of the game. Level 50 with 50 street cred. Millions of dollars from all of the gigs and side content I’ve done . Maybe I’m halfway through act 2? I’ll do a little story until more side content unlocks and then back . Game is dope, voice acting is great and the writing is great also . Happy I waited all these years to play
I envy you lol, and thanks for watching!
Honestly i really wanted to play this game after watching your videos but i still held on for this update and its obviously improves the experience by a lot but now i see that i would have enjoyed the amazing story, characters, setting etc regardless of the update.
The core of what made it amazing was always there, but it’s never been better which is awesome to see, thanks for watching!
I totally agree with you about the awesomeness of those close moments with side characters, my only complaint is that they were too few and over too quickly. If i remember correctly, in witcher three you had side character interactions throughout all the acts, in CPunk it feels like you knock out their questline in one act, in under an hour a two and then you never really interact with them again (minus the ending). The little random text messages were a nice touch but even those ran out after an hour or two of gameplay. Despite the absolute mircale of a revival this game has gone through it makes me sad to think there could have been more. Idk. Maybe im just being greedy.
