- Found out
Treasures are always lost
Pleasures and rage combined
I’m watchin’ you
Be careful with your moves
Tonight
I think the time is right
I think the blood has dried
It cries for more
So what are we waiting for?
Wires and chains
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Starting to fade
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Feels like a game
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
You have to play
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Lights out
Is this who you really are
Can’t look into your eyes
Your twisted mind
It’s dark, so dark
We end it now
It ends right here, right now
Please tell me you brought the iron - |||
Let’s light up the sky
And fade into the night
Wires and chains
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Starting to fade
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Feels like a game
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
You have to play
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
The days when it was good are gone
I’m tryna’ see what it was for, but I’ll never know
And though it’s dead I hear the call
Wires and chains
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Starting to fade
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Feels like a game
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
You can't escape
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Wires and chains
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Starting to fade
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
Feels like a game
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
You can't escape
(I’m just tired of looking the other way)
I found out
Treasures are always lost
Pleasures are long forgotten
Who are you now

Cdpr went so hard on the spy thrller influence, they even made their own bond film theme song
It is James Bond but its 2077 and the future is hard
Starring Idris Elba
@@Overneed-Belkan-Witchthe bond we all wanted
Yeah man I gotta agree. I put this up there with snake eater and also sidenote, when I hear James Bond, like music or theme songs, I think of the latest James Bond actor which is Daniel Craig and he’s my favorite is that weird anyways, that’s an amazing song. I can see myself listening to that again I’m as well put it in my list of music I listen to.
if any of you truly has an ounce of concern for the betterment of this company instead of just clamoring for its demise and denying its flaws you would at least for some improvement throw some feedback some criticisms - Now their funders can't be blamed for subtraction more than it is.
@@blackbradhz299Bro what're you on about? They're literally praising the game how're they clamoring for its demise?
Original game: Everyone's gangsta until the cello starts playing.
Phantom Liberty: Everyone's gangsta until a Polish man starts singing
Love the PFP Choom.
I'd say "Phantom Liberty: Everyone's gangsta until the Gate K9 starts playing". This song is more an emotional equivalent to the "Never Fade Away" cover. :-)
edgerunners: everyone's gangsta till a cute synthpop song starts playing
This song could be one of the best 007's theme.
@@pcz7595 Gate K9 activated the rabid dog part of my brain and I went ballistic lol
Phantom Liberty's OST not being nominated for "Best score and music" at TGA 2023 made me raise my eyebrows. Absolute banger of a soundtrack.
I feel like it should have been nominated too. At least the original score was nominated in TGA 2021 but didn't win.
I wonder if the release date kinda ruined it also. 2077 was released on the same day as the TGA awards was held. So people had a full year to experience other things before TGA 2021.
Anyway it doesn't matter. What matters is that we love it.
ITS NOT? what a shame
@@Ronzem2Well phantom liberty is nominated a few times so there’s that
they didn't pay the critic tax :)
@@Ronzem2 If not this year then 2024 most likely. You cannot hear the PL ost and not think it's the best shit in years. 2
Robbed. Not even nominated as best original song for a game. Not even the OST was nominated.
Got more awards than starfield at least
Absolutely fucking robbed. Idris Elba didn't even attend the event bc he knew he wouldn't win the award in his category, which he really deserved.
I keep saying idgaf about the Game Awards anymore but shit like this still pisses me off lol
The real corpos out there will always get there way. Rigd system.
@@Rosa_0000baldur's gate earned it
@@bimblorthe1st290even Windows Solitaire did deserve more awards than Starfield...
Please, I'm BEGGING YOU, PLEASE get Dawid Podsiadło to perform this song at the Game Awards. It's such a good song!!!
God I'd pay to see that.
That's more likely than one would think
I actually think it's very likely
I'd like that too but it's probably gonna be Imagine Dragons with their Starfield song
You mean the same event they'll collect BEST RPG for Phantom Liberty?
“You play grown up games, you face grown up consequences.”
And same should apply to Reed and Myers even more.
That's why I send her to the Moon.
Yup, you try to fuck me over I give your half alive body to Reed lol, a bit too late for feeling sorry for me
@TerminatorZXY that's the thing, he never acted like that didn't apply to him, he simply stated it when V felt betrayed, because the truth is, it's not that black and white. He knew he could die confronting you, just as you knew you could confronting him, and frankly that is incredibly highlighted by how there is no boss fight for him, he is no imposing immovable object, it's just the difference between who shoots first, the pull of the trigger, the click of a button, its all the same in the end, and both V and Reed accepted that fact in The Killing Moon ending.
I honestly loved that. Hell, it wasn't even black and white whether so-mi was evil for what she did, because in perspective, she was out to save herself and she did whatever possible to do so, just like V. V used so many people, just like So-Mi. The only truly fucked up creatures in this story are Rosalind Myers and Kurt Hansen, the background players, treating V, So-Mi, and Reed like chess pieces in a convoluted and dirty game of chess.
Where the worse part is the game itself drags whoever outside in every now and then
Big
If I didn't know, I would be pretty sure that this song is from another James Bond movie. Love it.
I was just about the say that😂 i cant get it out of my head
Reminds me of skyfall
most definitely
Glad I'm not the only one who thought of Bond
Heaps of the dlc feels like out of a bond film and I am loving every bit of it!
Cyberpunk has become a masterpiece
starfield is better
@@user-bn2yv7sc7l It's not April 1st bro
@@user-bn2yv7sc7l😂😂😂😂😂😂😭🤣
@@user-bn2yv7sc7lloved both and no it aint
It was always a masterpiece, if people just looked beyond the glitches. I played this back in 2021 realized it then how amazing and emotional this game is.
"Play the game, listen to the song, and I hope you're gonna fucking cry" - Dawid Podsiadło
Not one tear dropped from playing Phantom Liberty.
I was smiling cause the gameplay was so fun. @@FrankTheDoomriderJohansen
@@FrankTheDoomriderJohanseni sobbed like a fucking baby.
Yep, Dawid, you made us cry. Very much.
I was
God damm, after finisng Phantom Liberty it hits hard
Yeah, really a good dlc
I know man
It hits hard and I haven't even played it yet.
Is the dlc in terms of story as good as the First part of the game ? Just to know if i buy it!
@@GTO-Onizuka22 first part of game ? you mean boring linear stuff when u have to run around listen to evelyn,dex,vic etc. ? that was the worse part. would love to skipp that shit in act 1 to get to open world
Fun Fact: The character at 1:50 who bumps V's shoulder is the singer of the song, Dawid Podsiadło. He also appears in-game as a character named Dante Caruso in the side gig "Shot by Both Sides". Dante is also voiced by Podsiadło if the game language is set to Polish.
also it's a dude from a quest
@@auniquehandlethats what he just said
Before playing Phantom Liberty:
"This is a pretty cool song!"
After playing Phantom Liberty:
"This song is a dagger aimed for the heart of all my feels..."
“I’m with you So Mi, until the end”
WHAT A FUCKING BEAUTIFUL GAME
Hahaha i give her after that line xddd
@jorgeiriartej.3840 Honestly, siding with Songbird, then giving her up at the last minute is probably the best option for her.
If you drill her on who exactly gave her the tickets to Luna she'll describe Mr. Blue Eyes. Y'know, the guy that was involved with altering the Peralez's memories? It's not likely that he/the company he represents are saving her out of the goodness of their hearts.
All she's doing is trading the devil she knows; a devil who, despite everything, _does_ seem to care about her, for a devil she doesn't know, and likely doesn't care about her.
@@Wounded_Kitten yeah that's what i did, i found funny how johnny called me judas and i was like wtf she did the same johnny
@@jorgeiriartej.3840If you hold off until the end, he's a bit less harsh towards you.
*_a BIT_*
@@Wounded_Kitten That is true but if you do send her off to the moon, you will know she made it safely as she gives you another quest a little while after giving you a token from a moon city.
Next James Bond movie deserves this type of song. Just saying...
It already has one: Skyfall theme.
Next james bond movie deserves Idriss Elba as Bond aswell
And that kind of Secret agent too (Idris Elba)
And I think that might have been hinted at in the cinematic trailer
I don't know if you watched the Night City Wire where it was revealed but it was said at some point that there was an Easter Egg in the background of a specific shot
I'm 99% certain the Easter Egg was a news report of the Dow Jones going up or down by 0.07%
Dow Jones being abbreviated as DJ, which can also mean Disk Jockey, i.e. what Idris Elba is for one of the new Radio Stations (Dark Matter I think? Something along those lines)
Soooooo, maybe 👀
@@alexanderrose1556 Damn. Beat me to it.
@@alexanderrose1556 It doesn't need to be Bond. It's a franchise rooted in old patterns, old tech, old social cues, and goofy campy action. (Though they have tried to make it grittier in recent installments.) Idris brings so much gravitas that I would like to see him spearhead a new spy franchise more worthy of that gravitas. Hell, I'd rather see the events predating Phantom Liberty as a movie over just another Bond installment.
This gives me Adele "Skyfall" vibes, and I love it.
Same!
for me it was the Chris Cornnel vibes from Casino Royale
For me is Snake Eater from Metal Gear Solid
This is a MILLION times better than Skyfall. That was a boring non-entity piece of tripe that Adele couldn't even pronounce the title word properly. This is immense.
Its because this is a spy theme 😪
Fucking hell... Didn't think you guys could make me cry two times in two different credits in the same game. Masterfully done. Hats off...
couldnt agree more bro, cant love anyother game than this one, not as much as i like C77 bro. They did us wrong
Yep, not 100% sure it was the music that triggered me, i mean, PL choices were weighing heavily on my soul and this song kinda works well with the feeling i already head after pulling the plug on So Mi.
That said, Never Fade Away got me the moment the lyrics started, still do, even when i just hear it. For that this song has to be nr2 by a small small margin.
@@vincentouwehand828 PL had a such heavy ending choices that I dont think music is necessary for it to make someone cry. This song, over the PL endings... just final nail to your attempts of not crying if you ask me.
@@barisbuz it definitely hit me in the head after doing the right thing, let go of songbird.
it would be better to make them laugh😂
I don’t think I’ve ever felt this amount of emotions in a game. I don’t think I ever will again. Thank you CDPR.
Played god of war? And it’s following game ragnorok? It’s next level
@@B_RizzleMyNizzle GoW is incredible but imo it doesn't invoke the same amount of emotion because you are so much further removed from being Kratos than you are V
Play Red Dead Redemption 2, thank me later.
@@diabolicseed I already have
@@Lololemons For me that one hit harder, I don't know why. But I guess you just resonate more with V and his story. * *Drink* * To V and Arthur!
Genuinely phenomenal stuff. It encapsulates the spy thriller theme perfectly.
The expansion itself was a perfect note to end on too.
Absolutely adored it, without properly spoiling the ending I got for others possibly including you. Getting to the core was a pain in the arse but even that frustrating challenge was full of emotion, fear and mystery. Then that choice I had to make at the end. I made a big mistake choosing what I did. Not many things can make me cry but this song was what finally burst the dam.
@@kieranadamson3224i think every ending I've had to the game has made me cry (even the new one) but the ending to phantom liberty was all equal parts "did I do the right thing, what will be the consequences " was very thought provoking. But I don't think I'd do it differently in retrospect.
It does, doesn't it. It feels like something straight out of a Bond movie opening
@@napsterxxlYeah there were a few times it built up and it just sounded reminicent of James bond
*Spoilers*
I liked the DLC but "Somewhat Damaged" dragged this DLC down, imo. Running from some scary robot in a facility like it's a horror game got lame real quick. Thankfully you can skip this by siding with So Mi at Kurt's place.
This is the sort of production quality we should expect from a AAA game and boy did CDPR deliver. The gameplay, the acting, the suspense, the music and the visuals were all pure perfection. Phantom Liberty was a truely cinematic experience and this song hit so hard at the end. Wow. Just Wow.
Has raised the standards... so many games feel now childish when u compare them with Cyberpunk... Cause its not only technical perfection, its also a sense of art flowing throught every line, a sense of responsability, epicity... a desire to trascend in time, making non-easy-to-answer questions to everyone willing to hear them. Has some deep...which is an habit long forgotten.
@@xxwaspxxbegoten7045 It was my exact feelings after wild hunt, and they did it again, best gamedev company right now, nobody have the same level of worldbuilding, storytelling and soundtrack, gameplay something around average, but almost any game has this issue right now, and when rest parts is pure art it doesnt really matter.
@@justarty184i love both witcher 3 and cyberpunk but rockstar is still in its own league. Just look at red dead 2, that game can't be topped from a technical point of view after half a decade
@@daseafrate2025it’s true, but why do they feel the need to make the gameplay as repulsive as possible? I would like to complete the story again but I’m so tired of pressing X to gallop. So frustrating. Cdpr respects players more
taken as a girl from her home, her skills exploited to such an extent she contracts a terminal sickness, she then tries to save herself but in doing so becomes entangled and trapped in a conspiracy to conduct treason and is hunted by the very people who exploited her in the first place. Song Bird is such a tragic and heart breaking and sad character, so well written and created too. Mix this with Reeds guilt in being the one who caused most of her pain but conflicted by his devotion to country and serving his master, the very madame president who used Song Bird to the point of destruction. what a story.
A good summary of this incredible but tragic story, the level in Project Cynosure bunker lets you really put yourself in So-mi's shoes and relive the important and painful moments of her life, understanding that in the end she's just a sophisticated tool in the eyes of Myers and the FIA, who only want to use her as a computer/Object and don't give a damn about the potential consequences of their action on SongBird's.
Exactly why I've thrown everything away and went full-savior style to get Song to that damn spacecraft. She deserves it.
@@OstravskiOstravak did same. Still feeling bad about Reed and his fate. He chose his way and I chose mine, but... Damn he didn't deserve this.
@@user-ik7tn5jn9d I exhuasted every option tring not to kill him, dying a few times in the process. I swear, I started to feel a meta story in this DLC about Time Travel and trying to change things for the better. Its fuking insane
The story is so great becUse you kinda understand each side, but also no sides were good, no sides were right. That is shoen here aswell with v being surrounded by 4 people and just seemingky feeling confused or scared. None of them are good or bad.
I hope CDPR get Dawid Podsiadlo for all their games. 🤯
omg girl i loved ur quest stella stuck in a car was funny and then dark and then funny again
Agreed
Yo it's THE sphere hunter, loved your sidequest
Ty ...
Holy Shit, i wasn't sure if it was SphereHunter, but she Sure looked familiar :)
After playing the expansion I can confidently say that CDPR have made my new favourite spy movie without it even being a movie
Yup. Same
Same here.
Theres even gonna be tv serie coming out in maybe 2 years
If that had been an animated movie I'd have gladly seen it. Kinda expecting UA-camrs to eventually piece together the cut scenes into just that.
And survival horror
I've been a PC gamer since the 80's.
It's been 2 months since I completed Phantom Liberty.
I've not played anything since. I think the game broke me in some sort of fundamental way. Mind and soul.
Well played CDPR. Well played.
yeah i felt the same when played first time
Same. Took like three weeks off lol.
THIS RIGHT HERE. Lmao my friend I am dying for more in this franchise.
Kinda have same feelings. I didn't quit gaming, but after this I turned my attention to longer, more story-oriented, not-so-triple-A games like Trails series. Phantome Liberty broke my heart. Trails to Zero is curing it right now. Anyway, huge love for both games.
I finished right now, came here for the song, but i feel the same.
Bravo CDPR.
I'm a 42 year old gamer, gaming has been my biggest hobby for over 30 years. I've played hundreds if not thousands of games, and there are very few games I would consider as truly elite. Dragon Age Origins, Knights Of The Old Republic, Skyrim, Mass Effect 2, and now Cyberpunk 2077.
Congrats on creating something truly special. A game I will never forget.
Same man. It makes me so depressed to know this game will always be seen by millions of people has a terrible game not worth anything, when meanwhile it made me live something I will remember for my entire life. I hope some day, people will realize how good this game actually is but I fear it will never happen :(
same here ... we kinda been trough it all
This has the same feeling of my grandpa talking about his war medals
I have played as well all of those games you listed and they are really good indeed! But I noticed that is missing BG3 in that list, in my opinion, you should give it a try if you haven't my dude
Did you play Witcher games? They are also on the top.
Finishing the final mission at 4 am then half falling asleep while blasting this song on headphones as the credits roll was a reality-altering experience
literally me back at beginning of october, the adrenaline from the cerberus bot then this song was wild
5 am in my case. I had only 2 thoughts in my head rolling through my head when credits were rolling:
1. What the fuck just happened
2. holy fuck its 5 am and i have work at 9 am
and one more
3. damn Dawid Podsiadło is fire
It's 5am right now, just finished and I'm shocked by the ending. This was absolutely stunning. This is how you should make choices in Video games matter. Damn.
I did THE SAME EXACT THING. My heart was heavy as fuck for the rest of that day.
literaly me last night
The visual of Hansen putting his pieces down and Myers flipping the board and eventually sacrificing her piece just throwing it away was a masterpiece visual
And then when the piece falls and then turns into the tunnel…yeah I totally agree and that’s what I was thinking, “man this ending sequence is kinda amazing.”
i must say seing V surrounded by all of them and falling down, forced to make a decision is fastest way to get a heart attack
this scene alone perfectly shows u all the drama in just 10 seconds
It shows you so much in a few short moments. Hansen working so hard to set his board and thinking he's important when in reality Myers is an entire other level that could wipe out all of his carefully laid plans in a mere instant, on a whim. Her lack of care for Song as anything other than a tool, a pawn. And her ruthless personality where nothing matters but resurrecting her "image" of the USA.
Hell of a powerful moment... and only makes me feel better about not siding with her.
@@JB-xl2jc u know i thnk that would be the best main quest ever if Myers decide to reclaim NC with militech assistance, and whole city suddenly unite to protect their environment
imagine all gangs all fixers every merc unleash hell on NUSA military
that could be a great way to continue the story
i wish i could see ex enemy gangs cooperate, complement each other
and that could be simple yet great way to evolve this city for the better
@@aztekwr I would like that yeah! Especially since as a backdrop Yorinobu would still be dismantling Arasaka so it couldn't protect NC's sovereignty like it did in the prior corpo-war. Now it's up to every street punk, every fixer, every gangoon... to put their money where their mouth is.
Let me just say the endings of Phantom Liberty with this song just hits the perfect feels. Its one of the few times I sat in silence after a video game ending and just listened.
same
The end of the video showing V surrounded by her choices, and collapsing on the ground covering her ears encapsulates it perfectly.
Same😭
Yup same. Just did lmao
No matter which ending I get in Phantom Liberty, this credit roll gives me the most goosebumps I've ever got in games.This is THE interactive movie people having been talking about in films.
"Cyberpunk is not about saving the world its about saving yourself"
glad i set the bird free, she was on her own quest
Nah she got me roped into this spy shit. Then basically told me to fuck my self so she can get the only cure. Gave her to reed after that
what u mean by that
The two down sides to setting the bird free are you miss out on dope weapons and she'll end up in another cage
@@liban9255as long as you dont betray yourself, thats not for us to fix
Tbh, it's not about saving yourself. In the words of Johnny Silverhand... haven't realised it yet, have you? You can't save yourself, remember? You got shot in the head, and you died! You don't normally get back up from that and walk it off... you're not there to save yourself. You can elect to help those around you... but even that's not a requirement, you can screw everyone out of everything...
The story writers at CDPR need to be awarded. Seriously. I wasn't prepared for the emotional rollercoaster that is phantom liberty.
...did you give up the bird or let it fly?
I let it fly and killed who stepped in my way because they wouldn’t let me free the bird, the story is phenomenal.
You went with her until the very end. A respectful decision. @@OeM61
Freed the bird, smoked the dead man, saved his sidekick and kept my promise to Johnny. We in it together til the end. Whatever happens. 🤷🏻♂️
Think I saved the bird, or was told, gave in and became an NPC :(
Went to far too give her up at the end, even tho V got betrayed, I wasn't gonna throw her life away, there was no turning back now not after everything we did.
You don't understand weight of this song, if you didn't played Phantom Liberty.
I AINT PLAYES PL BUT HAD CP207U SINCE LAUNCHED N PLAYED IT REGULARLY SINCE LAUNCH N I LOVE IT. I NEED PL SOOOO MUCH😂
@@Astroblade5use your indoor voice
The dlc was such a masterpiece
Playing the game for the first time broke me hard.
Watching Edgerunners broke me harder.
But Phantom Liberty? Actually had me resting my face in my hands out of sorrow.
Same.
The main game has the Aldecados ending, which i think is still the most hopeful outcome for V and most of his friends.
Edgerunners ending was hard but also kinda beautiful.
But Phantom Liberty? V can just choose between betraying someone or being betrayed. Every choice comes with a sacrifice...and that's just heartbreaking.
@@alsenar2honestly I think the best ending is siding with so mi and then turning her in to reed when she passes out in the final mission, pretty sure it's the only way everyone including v can live and the only one who gets kinda fucked over is so mi but even then it's probably for the best given how far gone she is by the end
@@calus_bath_water probably the best cinematically too, that part with the rain, music, a dying cyborg girl, rocket in the background and Idris Alba trying to stop you is just like a fkin movie
@@calus_bath_water dude I think everyone ignores that V gets abandoned by his friends and johnny straight up dies in that ending. It's so much worse than the other endings.
@@CharlieKell You don't have to trade her for the cure.
You can just decide not to play their game and give her up, alongside it ; arguing that you've got not right to trade a life for another.
That's what I did, as I'm a big fan of the Star Ending.
This DLC really drove home the "no happy endings in Night City" theme. I never felt good or confident about any of my choices, a long series of lose-lose situations where all you can do is try to be true to your own convictions. It will definitely stay with me a while.
Yeah... there was never going to be any true survival for either V and So Mi. It was one or the other, never both.
As someone who’s a newcomer to this game and has been wanting to play it since it released, that fact is becoming truer every second. Night City really does take everything from you huh? I’m just hoping I can at least get the good ending with Judy. Even if it kills me she at least deserves some happiness.
Right, like i originally chose to go with song because i didnt really trust reed after what he did to the netrunners, but i still didnt trust song either. In the end i betrayed song and went with reed because i just couldnt stomach killing him
@@spacedout4061 You couldn't stomach killing him despite Reed being a coward for not even standing up to Myers to protect So Mi from what amounts to modern political slavery?
@@JynxedKoma so mi literally betrayed everyone multiple times to do her own thing, reed also, while not being able to stand up to myers, was also not gonna kill so mi like he was told, and he wasnt gonna kill me because he protects his people
The Cyberpunk world is shaping up to be absolutely incredible. We’ve had Cyberpunk 2077, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, and now we have Phantom Liberty.
I want another show or another DLC. This is incredible.
I definitely want another dlc for the game but all I’ve heard about was they are adding multiplayer hopefully with new content
@@traygold7556 Phantom Liberty is the only DLC 2077 is going to get. The Multiplayer thing is a mod (meaning only on PC and it's going to be janky, but still fun i'd imagine, the dev has some cool ideas), the official implementation was cancelled years ago due to the poor launch of the game leading to CDPR focus on fixing the game + the migration to Unreal Engine 5 in future projects (meaning any work done in Red Engine, the one Cyberpunk runs in, wouldn't directly translate to UE5).
So all we got for the future of Cyberpunk is Orion (codename for the next game/sequel, probably 5+ years away) and maybe that live action series.
man oh man i wish there's more. but all we can do is just hoping Project Orion was wayyyy better without any disastrous bug day one + more complicated branched choice
In theory, so as far as a rumor can go, there will be a sequel. It’s been talked about, I think, by the devs - Phantom Liberty will be the only DLC to C77; there will be no expansions (and who knows if there’ll be a show; CDPR wasn’t necessarily in charge of the show). But there’s supposed to be a sequel. I doubt it will be about V’s journey since we did have the option of various endings, so I have no clue what it could be featuring, but it is going to be a Cyberpunk something or other.
Man Dawid Podsiadlo should do next intro to James Bond like... WOW this guy is the GOAT in this genre of music
First came Cyberpunk. Then Cyberpunk Edgerunners.

I'm not crying. You're crying.
I definitely do.
We crying.
No matter what your ending... you'll cry, we cry. 🥹
CDPR said I'd cry, I figured that I wouldn't at least until I'd played Phantom Liberty and gotten invested. But here I am misty eyed and I haven't even gotten to Dog Town yet. Good job Dawid. (Still working on the friendship quests before I start Dog Town. Almost finished though. Just two more for Judy and 3 more for Kerry. River, Panam, and Rogue are all done. I intentionally left Placide alive after our battle. I hope he tries to even the score, since prior to 2.0 he did nothing but send you a warning to watch your back.)
In many ways she's a reflection of V's current state, she'd do anything to live, she's looking for any out she can get and even sacrifices a part of herself to live. She casts aside her morals and betrays even someone she truly considers a friend just to live. In a way it's the very struggle V is going through, he'd do almost anything to survive, potentially even at the cost of friends, but in one ear there is Johnny who despite all his flaws is saying that one shouldn't kill who they are just to live. That one should live with values and morals and not sell themselves to some oath or corporation because you're human, and you should stay human.
This company is outstanding. I truly hate what happened with the initial release because it was not representative of the technical prowess and detail of this team and the experience they have produced through this game. Truly breathtaking and one of if not the best game Ive ever played and I've played all the greats. What an phenomenal come back like never before seen in gaming. Well done CDProjekt, well done.
To be fair, the initial release had issues, yes, especially on older hardware... But it was already a masterpiece. Or, in any case, it wasn't a NMS.
Still, I am only glad CDPR kept adding to it and fine-tuning its mechanics until we got to this point.

It wasnt only SoMi who was looking, if at all. Better refers to Sol Reed for my taste. Visual with Sol in front of the mirror best conveys that.
@@dmitrygr5593 It wasn't only SoMi, you're correct. But it's also not for SoMi AND Reed. It's also for V.

Phantom Liberty completely broke me emotionally and had me questioning my morals harder than I ever have in my life. Cybberpunk 2077 is more than just a game. It's a story and a lesson.
It's been about 3 weeks since I completed it, and I've not had any mental wherewithall to play anything else. Phantom Liberty has kind of broken me, 3+ decades of PC gaming and I think I'm done.

Hey, Orion will probably come out in 2025 - 2026. We have that to look forward to and considering what the canon ending to the game clearly is. We're in for one hell of a ride. I just hope we can get a full game on the calibre of PL next time. I have hope.

I absolutely adore how CDPR has the balls to trust the audience is intelligent and mature enough to grasp adult, sometimes downright disturbing themes (such as XBD snuff films, serial killers, and graphic suicide) and deep narratives and character building. I played Starfield before i did another play through of this including this incredible DLC and wow... actually night and day when it comes to narrative and character building. I actually really loved Johny Silverhand by the end, Judy too (her non romance friendship ending with male V on the pier talking about leaving night city after your dive through her old neighborhood was so damn bitter sweet and moving), and i was sad to see the game end. I did the set the bird free ending to this DLC, it was beautiful. When the credits rolled and this song came on it truly felt like i had just watched a 10/10 futuristic bond film. I'm 32, kinda fuckin old for a gamer, enjoyed gaming since i was 8 years old and i can count how many games made me really feel something sublime with their story on 1 hand. Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk would both be on that list so thank you CDPR you are fucking awesome and you elevate the medium of video games with your work and prove that game design is a true art form.
gotta agree with you there, these heavy adult themes create such an intresting world, these regular things in our current world have been taken to the etremees in the world of cyberpunk. the wealth gap of the population, the pervasive crime, the cosmetic surgery goes beyond bigger lips but modify abilty, I can appreciate an Harry potter type story which tackles dark but not exactly disterbing and as adult themes but sometimes i wanna go deep in on those themes and not just tackele the surface of 'people are bad but sometiems they are good' but betrayal, oppression, guilt, depression, hopelessness, desperation, death, these are have major impacts on the world of CP77 and it create an diverse and textured story that is hard to have in other world that restrict themselves to a younger teen audience (that that every media needs a dark and depresing story dealing with the worse of society, i love a lighter take on the themes of evil but man do i love CP77 usage of a dark adult world.
Exactly the same thoughts I have. Played starfield and then this and wow its embarrassing how much it just blows starfield out of the water. Thought some story bits of starfield were alright but man compared to this? No chance.
Dude, I'm 47 and still a dedicated gamer, hoping to catch up with my Steam backlog someday after I retire :)
Glad I'm not the only one that wanted Songbird to be as free as possible, even with her betrayals I still felt bad for her.
@@Ketol1510 Yeah, she is the same as V in many ways. Victim of technology gone too far, used and discarded by the NUSA like Dex uses and discards us. Lying, cheating, killing, and stealing for a chance to see tomorrow just like V. Usually in my playthrough i would kill anyone who fucked V over but i think forgiving her would be like V forgiving himself a bit right before i headed into the ending of the game. Very artful i thought. Loved this DLC.
The song and the video show the _real_ Rosalind Myers, the one that So Mi was warning you about and the one that Reed should have turned his back on.
this game went from being hated to universally loved and i'm so happy for cdpr, recently completed this expansion and wow what a masterpiece
first credits i've ever sat all the way through just to listen to the music

That dlc was a rollercoaster of emotions. And that song is fantastic. Dawid proves he's a great artist

Me Before Finishing DLC : 😄😄😄

I did the free Songbird ending and I've never felt more miserable in a ending in my life lol. Killing Reed really made me gave me my first "I'm the bad guy" moment in a video game. bravo CDPR
Did you play the other ending?
It was brutal. For me freeing her was a spur of the moment decision (she needed help!) which I regretted later once she had left for the moon. Reed had become a friend, it was a brutal end for him. Thinking about it afterwards, Songbird was the real villain of the story. She was prepared to do anything, to anyone, and sacrifice countless lives, to get what she wanted. And she managed to do it while making everyone feel sorry for her…
@@pressrepeat2000No one was a villain except Myers. Reed was never really a friend, Alex warns you not to look for friends in FIA agents. He's also not really an evil man, rather a slave to principles and the NUSA. He ruthlessly offs anyone he brushes paths with, it's implied he executed the hobos in the beginning and he murders the twins needlessly.
Songbird fucks you over, that's her greatest sin. She's the most human and empathetic of all the government characters. She expresses remorse every time someone dies because of her, like Slider.
Ultimately it's up to the player to decide and that's why it's a great story. Personally I think sending her to the moon and killing Reed was the best option. She ends up alive and free, you stick it to the corrupt and evil NUSA govt and you free Reed, he goes out fighting for his principles and is finally no longer a slave
@@pressrepeat2000 Lol she was absolutely not, Reed is lying to you the entire time and has no qualms killing V in cold blood at certain points in the story. Reed is just a better spy.
Either that or send songbird back to the POTUS to be used even worse than before. Saving Songbird is canon to me. Despite needing to kill Reed.. there is literally no victory without sacrifice in this dlc.
this credits was on the same level of James Bond movies if not above.
I just finished Phantom Liberty last night for the second time and I can't even begin to express how deep and how amazing this expansion was.

shaked me to tears again. I comment this frequently. This time I want to tell you that until video games started to tell storys in a quality like this, I was a big Fan of the James Bond movies and the title songs also because of the volume and gigantic scope of these songs. This one nails the essence of everything I´ve heard from every one of these movies in the last somewhat i guess sixty years? I just love it. This. The Game that I have played for more then a thousand hours. Everything that happens around it. I just love it and everyone who gave it to me. I also keep buying just that it will be bought often enough some day. Thank you
For this song alone Phantom Liberty should've been nominated for Best Score and Song!
Just think, this game evokes such a storm of emotions that no one will be able to call games just entertainment anymore. This game is a work of art. You become attached to the characters as if they were living people, and you worry about their fate. CDPR, thank you for that work of art.
Shit man, games have been art since Ocarina of Time. Evoking philosophical questions about the loss of innocence and the importance of nature. The media just likes to shit on anything young people like because young people don't watch their programs. They gotta get those old cynical people to get riled but because back in thier day they had a hoop and a stick.
So true. No game has ever been this immersive. It just makes you feel like you’re living V’s life. Everyone in the game is so well written they feel real. It’s pure art.
What did it for me is it was 20 hours that invoked emotions. Didn’t cry or anything but it was definitely emotional. Last time I felt like that from a game was a full 80 hours of rdr2
Hate the fact you can't romance SoMi ;-;
A lot of games succeed in this kind of thing. But yeah, CP77 was one of them.
This song after finishing the game feels like a cherry on top of the cake!
Yeah, I felt like I deserved it. Played it on very hard difficulty, level 60, didn't die once... of course I was chromed twice as much as Adam Smasher by that point. Sandevistan + Rasetsu, serious carnage my chooms.
Whole song is goosebump inducing
Cyberpunk single handily holding the gaming soundtracks in a chokehold for few years now
Johnny : Promise me one thing, will ya ?
V : I promise. No idea what, but I promise.
Johnny : Not askin' you to never give up. Sometimes you gotta let go... Just don't let anyone change who you are, 'kay ?
V : Johnny, I...
Johnny : G'night Valerie. Today was a good day.
It broke my heart
yeah that scene nearly broke me, that and the fact that he's more afraid of taking over V than he is dying
Which ending is this? I don't remember this line
@@MurihSantosits the new Phantom liberty ending, you have to acquire the neural matrix to get this ending
This broke my heart because seeing how Johnny really loved my V and calling him Vincent after saying how we settled it in the oil fields how we felt etc was heavy. You could tell how much emotion and growth Johnny and V have together by the end of the story. Johnny really does love V and have regrets. And when it all comes down to it he wants him/her to live. He does love them. And for the first time he wants nothing more than to do the right thing for once. It sucks so much because V and Johnny deserve to live and have a happy ending. They’ve been through so damn much and both fought like hell. It’s a tragedy. I’d have given anything to have them Jackie and Songbird to live/be cured too. And not have it end so bittersweet for these characters. Like without saying anything that ending if you played PL man… I was mixed and kinda mad while being sad 😅but I get what it means and is conveying storytelling wise

Idres Elba didn't get to star as the next James Bond, so CDPR went all out for Cyberpunk 2077 to make an awesome spy thriller for him to star and shine in!! Absolutely nailed it with this track (as well the rest of the soundtrack) it captures the spy thriller theme so well (with some obvious notes from classic James Bond themes). Phenomenal achievement on the music, the expansion and update as well!! It will stick with me for a while as well as this track looping over and over in my head ❤
I bet your ass Elba has wider audience now than he would as James Bond. The only difference is that he won't be dragged into morning show interviews because of this role. Not sure if that's a bad thing tho.

He and Monika Brodka in „Wszystko czego dziś chcę” Cyberpunk like cover 😙👌
You got me, this is cinema.
Don't think I've ever felt more suspense with each choice I made in a game than this expansion. By far one of the best DLCs I've played for any game. Felt like the story was longer than the main game was. Absolutely worth the money.
Whoever made these visuals deserves a huge raise, this not only sounds great, it looks. Looks like a best music video for this song that encapsulates plot and it's interpretations in couple minutes.
They even made a Grimes music video within the game that's pretty much in the style of a real Grimes music video. They really went the extra mile.
I would've liked the visuals a lot more if they weren't blurred by tears on the first watch. Glad we live in the era where I can get em in HQ on YT!

Congratulations for creating this game guys, for me It has the best storytelling from games ever, and this songs are extraordinary. Feels sad to see that we only gonna have another game in 5+ years
They gave us a fully immersive experience. We felt like we really lived V’s life, and we felt his emotions. Everything felt so real, more than any other game has ever done before.
@@pressrepeat2000fr, when they announced that wasnt gonna have a third person view I didn't knew how to react about it, but now I understand why and I am so grateful abt that choice by them
@@marceloaaps Yeah I hope next one is first person too, and as immersive. When you play third person it feels like your playing someone else… a doll. In this game, it truly felt like you were there. Not a single loading screen either, in the entire game, between gameplay and scripted scenes. A technical marvel for immersion. The writing was a lot of it, of course, as it was amazing, but the fact is they did everything to maximise immersion and the feeling of “you’re V”.
The brass and strings are so good. I feel like I'm in a concert hall when hearing them.
“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”
Fly high, So Mi.
I can't believe that V's story is over... Phantom Liberty was amazing in everyway possible, there is never a happy ending in night city...
Honestly I felt like there is a good ending. Not trading in So Mi and killing Reed. So Mi finally gets away from all the suffering she went through, Alex finally can retire and Reed is finally freed from being the slave he was for all those years. He was a slave to his principles and Myers and would have spent the rest of his life in misery, doing the same thing and suffering through the same things over and over again, until he is too old and the NUSA discard him. The only one who doesn't get a good ending is V, but at least nothing gets worse for them, it just stays at status quo. Honestly the most positive ending you could expect after this intertwined series of tragedies
@@mondsgesandter Absolutely agree, I freed So Mi because that's what she wanted, I made a promise that I would, so I stuck with it, I didn't want to have to shoot Reed. The other ending is just horrible.
@@Pdrum2I get what you’d are saying, but I chose to stick with So Mi till the end. Freed Reed from being caught in his own principles and sent So Mi to the moon to free her from the NUS. You eventually hear from So Mi and at that point you realise you made the right decision. Reed is free, So Mi is free, Alex is alive. And F*** Rosalind Myers.
I feel like they should adapt this story (V’s)to film or tv. And have the devs work on Orion and whatever’s next in the universe
@@Pdrum2 How can you free songbird without shooting reed ?
Dawid, whatever he touches turns to gold.
Midas !
Damn I guess that’s why all the kids at his local daycare are gold!
It’s true, don’t send any more money to this criminal.
Just finished Phantom Liberty yesterday and when this rolled in, good gosh... I just sat there and thought about all the decisions I made and wondered if they were the right ones.
This DLC is one of the best I've ever had the pleasure experiencing.
So, Mr Elba got his Bond song after all ;)
Say what you want about CDPR but there is no other studio that's even remotely close to their storytelling. Sure Rockstar and Naughty Dog can tell a good and compelling story but no other game made me feel the range of emotions like Cyberpunk did. Cyberpunk, I think, is the most narratively mature game to date. I love being treated like a serious audience and not a 40yo manchild with a FunkoPop collection (hi Bethesda) and very few games can do this. Cyberpunk proves that games are art, and a serious narrative medium that asks big questions.
I second what you said. I would even add that CDPR (along with Rockstar and Naughty Dog like you mentioned) as one of the "Scorsese of game making", that aims towards more serious audience like you said and put in heavy emphasis on narrative as art. And there are those "popcorn" quality games like Ubisoft, Activision, EA, and maybe even Bethesda.
Ninja theory do the job as well. CDPR and Ninja are the only one out there for me... @@ryanli8371
More games need to be this serious, I had an emotional break when ev died then again at the suicide ending. The only other game to hit me so hard was life is strange and hearing fem v’s voice cracking at the emotional parts hurts so much.
can't agre more with this statment !
Eh idk Rockstar killed it with RDR2. One thing RDR2 did better with the story was giving the player the time to develop a connection to the characters. There really wasn't a lot of time to develop a connection with So Mi, Reed, or Alex. Same thing with Jackie from the main story. Fortunately the voice acting is so good that you can feel the emotional connection between V and those characters. All in all, I think you have to do a lot of suspension of disbelief and use of imagination is involved.
