Sometimes you have these moments in gaming that no other medium can reproduce. The overall tension of this mission, the difficult decision to make, the combat right after, underlined with this music... just magic.
Feels more like you vs the world in the Reed route because you have to fight Hansen and his Barghest all by yourself without So Mi, Reed, or Alex to back you up.

Throughout the game's optional Cyberpsycho missions with Regina, I had never fully grasped how dangerous a crazed netrunner could actually be until this point. Walking through the flaming, digitally distorted ruins of the once-bustling stadium marketplace, every square inch lined with the charred Blackwall-infused bodies of both unsuspecting BARGHEST soldiers and innocent civilians just going about their daily lives unaware of the approaching one-person horror that laid waste to all in their path on a quest for survival Mechs and drones driven into crazed wild animals tearing apart everything and everyone in their way while every monitor and screen had become warped and echoed with the screams of the damned from a plane of cyberspace our human minds couldnt even fathom without melting our synapses into mush. Despite the high-octane battle with Hansen, the sitiation around it was genuinely haunting.
@@anonyouma395 similar here, ive been doing a gunslinger build for my first playthrough of the game but the alluring cursedness of blackwalling someone with the canto(fuck you for locking the Erebus behind 20 tech CDPR >:[ ) has made me become a Netrunner/Gunslinger hybrid
The greatest part about this whole DLC is the fact that it makes the Blackwall actually feel legit terrifying. Like an Eldritch horror, unknowable and driving even the strongest willed to be gibbering madmen
What I wanna know is, Hwat would happen if Cthulu was gazed upon by a really dumb guy who was so stupid, he couldn't comprehend what he was looking at and therefore, couldn't become mad
P.T. Adamczyk's sense and instinct for writing epic and forlorn melodies is incredible. He really killed the entire ost between this and the base game. really awesome composer that added hugely to the game's vibe and atmosphere.
straight up, all the patches/samples he compiled for the entire soundtrack are so fucking good. How there's themes for most of the main characters/missions, how they are reused/combined thru the entire game depending on the scenario...actually perfect. It's nuts he did 2077 and the Witcher 3's scoring, obviously he had help but damn shit's insanely impressive
Same have done 3 playthoughs of cyber punk 1 1.0 so never finished 2 was cool and body and reflex 3 was body tech and reflex both times I went full LMG sandeve 4 rn is net running cool and tech and my pistol skills have never been tested so much
At first I helped So Mi, and after the ending I decided to see what would happen if I betrayed her. I expected the same missions, but with different characters... how wrong I was.
I love how Ghost in the Shell inspired this DLC was, this sound track is hardcore reminiscent of the first movie and the tank fight was a straight rip from the end scene. Loved it.
People who haven't played Phantom Liberty won't even be able to imagine the sheer insanity and intensity of the moment, one of the most intense and emotional ones in gaming history. When you hear this music start playing... you know SHIT'S GOING DOWN
@@dank_K_knightcheck out The Brave Shall Live Forever by CVNSUMED for Bulgarian techno vocals! It’s really popular for EE vocals to be sampled in electronic
@@TheCrowsClaw Just curious, what tribe in particular does this song remind you of? I’m a big fan of learning about Indigenous culture, and if there’s an African nation with this type of music that you’re aware of then I’d love to check them out.
Played a Reflex Katana, Knife and Sandevistan build for PL and when this kicked in, I didn't even use the Sandy because it felt like the combat music was compelling me to kill as fast as possible. What an amazing soundtrack to an incredible expansion. I love Cyberpunk 2077 so much.
This song is up there with Sword of Destiny (and moment in Witcher 3 when it actually plays as a boss theme) It absolutely takes you for a spin in a dance of bladed death.
that's why you should use berserk instead, the crit and speed just compliments blades. The adrenaline hit you get from slicing everyone up so fast is insane.
Same here! I was basically activating my Sandy just as a quick slow mo to deflect some bullets and right out of the Sandy, I felt like a cyber ninja who just unleashed an AI god and is fighting for dear life!
Hansen’s eyes were the giveaway for me that he was a reference to the Witcher Letho - who used a set of dual daggers with a similar design to Hansen’s knife. Their backstories are also similar as each are rogues to their profession.
@@daybreak667 yup! In fact when you enter the cynosure facility, Johnny even says "into the heart of darkness", a reference to the title of the book apocalypse now was based on In addition, Kurt hansen was part of an invading force that went rogue and started controlling the natives, much like Kurtz. Though you probably now this, I'm just explaining for people who don't get the reference
Love how this song can be interpreted in two ways. Song and V making it out with this song adding the urgency of their escape. Or unleashing a demon unto Dogtown if you betray Songbird.
Fighting through the stadium with Song and just going absolutely cyberpsycho with my implants and loadout while hearing this track really just tied the whole cyberpunk aesthetic together with a nice bow on top. Absolutely superb. This track fuckin NAILED the chaos of this mission. Shit feels like it's all gone to Hell and you gotta fight your way out of it.
That music pummed me up during Song escape. Feels like desperate push towards freeing themself. First stadium full of Hansen men, then combat section of space port full of NUS elite troops. Doesn't feel like clearing whole area, but just pushing forward.
The build up for the music and the decision was executed perfectly. Either decision gave you that feeling like you know you messed up. The only thing to do is survive.
2:42 I don't know but I can clearly hear someone starting to sing, but then screaming in agony, just like So Mi frying her brain while trying to hack the whole stadium
You haven't lived until you do this mission with a throwing knives-Sandevistan-Kerenzikov build. This banger playing while escaping with So Mi and throwing head shots with a knife against soldiers with military grade weapons the whole way down made V feel like the most terrifying human ever to have existed. Literally made a separate save just so I can practice perfecting that run because I was having that much fun.
Your v is still human? Mine is fully cybernetic by the time I get anywhere near dogtown like smasher cybernetic even her vag is cybernetic at this point.
the franticness I felt after betraying songbird and feeling the world falling apart was just so perfect then the yells coming in when I saw Hansen really cemented this and his words in my mind "Close is how the dead measure victory!"
It’s times like this when you side with Song Bird and this track kicks in, that regardless if you’ve spect yourself to be a 100% ninja build with nearly absolute detection mitigation and silent weapons, there’s something primal in these beats that overwhelms all other sense of logic and self preservation and makes you desire to pick up the nearest HMG, and turn Bargheist troops into red confetti through that whole stretch of the Stadium. Never releasing the trigger until you overheat or run out of ammo, then you’re just impulsed to grab the nearest, biggest, loudest gun you can and remind everyone in your way what acute lead poisoning feels like.
I love this music because it shows the empire of Hansen crumble before his army. If you've read Heart of Darkness or seen Apocalypse Now, you know how much he's insipired by Colonel Kurtz. His absolute control over everything in Dogtown and his prized possession gone in an instant by a lowly merc. He led a savage life and dies savagely, out of nowhere. Regardless of whether you let Alex kill him or do the deed yourself, it's a masterpiece of a song that matches the mood.
Hearing this plus gameplay, never been more drawn in by a game before. Heart stopping stuff it was incredible. The power of the Blackwall, god like and terrifying
Love listening to this kind of music while working, it creates energy in me out of nowhere. But this one also made me want to play PL from the start 5th time right now
@@boglurker2043 You joke but Pondsmith said in an AMA that this is basically true, the reason being that Johnny's engram also being in V's head gives them more humanity by basically letting cyberware and trauma get shared between two people, so it's half as likely to overwhelm their minds.
@@LLesof that was not "contra la luna"? that is good too, i remember k9 only sound in the stadium and only "contra la luna" sound while you are at orbital air helping so mi.
This has to be some of the most terrifying combat music, and music in general, I’ve heard in any game ever. Especially when you know the context of the music after playing this version of the mission
Was finally able to play through this for the first time, and i think the strategy i later used on Adam Smasher came from this interaction. It felt like hearing "A rock anthem to save the world" in halo (I was a net runner build, who for rp reasons only used Johnny's pistol; but I also had dash, air dash and double jump) Causing me to zip around the area Quick hacking the enemies to the side of me while directly facing the enemies in front of me like the flash. Single handedly one of the greatest interactions I've ever had with a game.
I’ve been through this part of Phantom Liberty multiple times already. Each time I tense up the very moment I choose a side. The chaos that ensues, man…🤯
I personally like saving Songbird and using the BlackWall at the spaceport but when you’re chasing after Songbird in the stadium and this song comes on, it definitely gets you hyped
I’m curious to see where the lore of this franchise will go from here. Like with all the different choices, what will be the canonical ending and story path for what’s to come in a sequel ? I’ve had way too much fun with this game ever since its initial launch and I really look forward to whatever is next for this series.
The total chaos, and the full color change from yellow/colorful to black and vibrant red with this music after the betrayal was an adrenalin rush. It burned into my mind.
Songbird being a massive hypocrite, constantly betraying and lying to everyone around her and showing she makes the worst decisions, then she calls ME a two-faced snake for not trusting her all before getting Alex's face ripped off with this song starting to blast- yeah, no, she's a sympathetic character, but every instinct I had at that moment was "this idiot NEEDS to die."
@@holmestretch like bad or classy and also I didn't like the story for demon slayer it was just too.......wacky for what happened to him and like I get he's a good guy and all but demons killed your family get mad at all of them cause either way you're releasing them maybe throw in a few sad moments of us understanding that not all demons were born bad and bam it would've been so good as a serious anime hell maybe it could've been attack on Titan titan 2 with how they were gritty yet funny sometimes. But how gruesome demon slayer started, it just isn't there story wise
@@holmestretch actually it sounds more like a dubstep version of Silver for Monsters of TW3, wich also would make sense since TW3 is the other masterpiece of CDPR...
"Gate K9" feels fitting for the track. The entire song makes you feel as if you are a trapped in a cage like a wild dog trying to kill your way out through the others dogs trapped there, the only difference is whose dog you are. So Mi's or Reed's
You are a bastard for putting an ad right before the best part

I love this music because it shows the empire of Hansen crumble before his army. If you've read Heart of Darkness or seen Apocalypse Now, you know how much he's insipired by Colonel Kurtz. His absolute control over everything in Dogtown and his prized possession gone in an instant by a lowly merc. He led a savage life and dies savagely, out of nowhere. Regardless of whether you let Alex kill him or do the deed yourself, it's a masterpiece of a song that matches the mood.
It was so cool how much inspiration they took from apocalypse now.
Hearing this plus gameplay, never been more drawn in by a game before. Heart stopping stuff it was incredible. The power of the Blackwall, god like and terrifying
That track was so epic, especially with the action on the screen. Masterpiece in mix of action, atmosphere and tension.
Love listening to this kind of music while working, it creates energy in me out of nowhere.
But this one also made me want to play PL from the start 5th time right now
they cooked
We let them cook, and DAMN IT WAS GOOD
The vocals just scream GITS.
So true, feel the same here.
so hard to find, thank you for the upload!
“Peeps ain’t pawns to me! you’ll pay for what you did”
Sounds like we made it to major leagues
And we thought maine and David were the biggest cyberpsychos
V is a high functioning cyberpsycho
@@boglurker2043 You joke but Pondsmith said in an AMA that this is basically true, the reason being that Johnny's engram also being in V's head gives them more humanity by basically letting cyberware and trauma get shared between two people, so it's half as likely to overwhelm their minds.
Sorry songbird you’re a tragic character but fighting Kurt Hansen to this banger will always be the correct choice
Yeah
The same song plays when you side with songbird and are fighting at the orbital air train control room
@@LLesof yeah but you don’t fight Kurt
@@LLesof that was not "contra la luna"? that is good too, i remember k9 only sound in the stadium and only "contra la luna" sound while you are at orbital air helping so mi.
@ yea it was, i found out later but i was too lazy to correct myself 💀💀💀
Hansen was badass
That moment when you realize songbird knows you're lying....
Best song in the game, really exciting playing this mission.
4:39 for tinnitusmaxxing
Flashback: corpses of civvies burned by Blackwall lying everywhere, market turned into slaughterhouse. "Song... what have you done?"
"Nah! Close is how the death measure victory"
I've never worried more about a choice then I was when I had to choose who to betray.
It’s pretty simple. Songbird stirred a whole apocalyptic shitstorm. So no fuck her and her sad story
My fav one since the first listen at the trailer 🤘 thanks 💯
(Alex attempts to break the window.)
“REED! THEY’RE GIVING US THE SLIP!”
Okay, now i feel the need to burn my city. Let's delta
No matter what decision you make in Dogtown, prepare for the fight of your life
I was looking for that one! It’s not part of the official soundtrack for some reason!
Thank you for uploading :)
“Was this the right choice?” In the form of music
This has to be some of the most terrifying combat music, and music in general, I’ve heard in any game ever. Especially when you know the context of the music after playing this version of the mission
Was finally able to play through this for the first time, and i think the strategy i later used on Adam Smasher came from this interaction. It felt like hearing "A rock anthem to save the world" in halo (I was a net runner build, who for rp reasons only used Johnny's pistol; but I also had dash, air dash and double jump) Causing me to zip around the area Quick hacking the enemies to the side of me while directly facing the enemies in front of me like the flash. Single handedly one of the greatest interactions I've ever had with a game.
Masterpiece 😳
i love how its 2 people on a timer deciding to go on full terminator mode both dying trying to look for a cure to survive
This feels like something straight out of a 90s cyberpunk anime, I fw this so much
One of the greatest fuck it we ball moments in gaming
you know a game's on point when the decision between slaughtering enemies and bursting into full out jamming to the OST is a hard one
I’ve been through this part of Phantom Liberty multiple times already. Each time I tense up the very moment I choose a side. The chaos that ensues, man…🤯
I personally like saving Songbird and using the BlackWall at the spaceport but when you’re chasing after Songbird in the stadium and this song comes on, it definitely gets you hyped
I’m curious to see where the lore of this franchise will go from here. Like with all the different choices, what will be the canonical ending and story path for what’s to come in a sequel ? I’ve had way too much fun with this game ever since its initial launch and I really look forward to whatever is next for this series.
Amazing track with beautiful choir + stadium voices of what i could guess are AI's are so damn amazing
*”CLOSE” IS HOW THE DEAD MEASURE VICTORY*
The total chaos, and the full color change from yellow/colorful to black and vibrant red with this music after the betrayal was an adrenalin rush. It burned into my mind.
Songbird being a massive hypocrite, constantly betraying and lying to everyone around her and showing she makes the worst decisions, then she calls ME a two-faced snake for not trusting her all before getting Alex's face ripped off with this song starting to blast- yeah, no, she's a sympathetic character, but every instinct I had at that moment was "this idiot NEEDS to die."
This sounds like something that would be in nier automata or demon slayer
I think it's heavily GitS inspired. From the old anime, not the new ones/ movie. Mixed with something else but not sure what.
@@Mic_Glow Akira
i've just started demon slayer, it's class
@@holmestretch like bad or classy and also I didn't like the story for demon slayer it was just too.......wacky for what happened to him and like I get he's a good guy and all but demons killed your family get mad at all of them cause either way you're releasing them maybe throw in a few sad moments of us understanding that not all demons were born bad and bam it would've been so good as a serious anime hell maybe it could've been attack on Titan titan 2 with how they were gritty yet funny sometimes. But how gruesome demon slayer started, it just isn't there story wise
@@holmestretch actually it sounds more like a dubstep version of Silver for Monsters of TW3, wich also would make sense since TW3 is the other masterpiece of CDPR...
Hansen really reminds me of the king of beggers from the witcher 3 when geralt first meets him looking for triss
Nah man Hansen be Letho
Damn, I missed this? Chose to help So Mi so Alex merc'd Hansen instead, but damn.
It plays during the mission you're helping So Mi and escaping, so you shouldn't have missed it.
@@AlexiconPrimeit plays when you side with reed to capture so mi
@@AshNeeko It plays during both versions of the escape.
Go loud
It took me 3 to 5 give business days to that "gate k9" was for "gate canine" hence DOGtown lmao
always do main missions with stealth netrunning but hearing this made me pull out my LMG
One of my favorite songs from the DLC, it feels so awesome hearing it when blasting through the stadium.
I liked it in game where there was the guys distorted voice over the loud speakers playing along with the song, it sounded so cool
It was awesome it really made the chaos more immersive
When this music kicks in I can't stop my LMB finger.
4:45 beat gets real
"YOU CAN"T HANDLE THIS"
"Gate K9" feels fitting for the track.
The entire song makes you feel as if you are a trapped in a cage like a wild dog trying to kill your way out through the others dogs trapped there, the only difference is whose dog you are. So Mi's or Reed's
