At 26 years old this game made me feel the same way I felt when I played GTA San Andreas in my childhood when I was 10 years old.... Cyberpunk is not a perfect game but it still gets me.
Chat was going wild. Absolute banger of a stream. To hear that he actually enjoys the story brings a smile to my face, because the story and world building even though slow in the beginning, sets you up for future immersion and a deep dive into Mike Pondsmith's original work.
@@KiddBuu_ exactly, ppl who say the game was bad, havent played the game back then themselves xD just seen some youtube shorts. Game was always lit, if asmon played cp77 back in 2020, he would have the same fucking opinion about the game guarantee. Nobody cares about ai police overhaul, or perk tree remaster, literally nobody. Asmon didnt engage with police at all and never will, he doesnt fucking care about the talent trees at all. What makes cp77 good is not these worthless stupid dogshit systems.
Honestly when Asmon asks bout where's the loading screen whenever he enters a building. I find it so funny that seamless open world was supposed to be a requirement already
Honestly, the problem wasn't even the bugs, it was some missing features that CDPR showcased and didn't ended up in the game, such as wall grabbing and shot from vehicles (you could only do that if you was the passenger, at first), now most of the features CDPR brought later in the game, and i believe only the wall grabbing was left out of it. All the other features are present in the game now, and most bugs are already fixed.
I've done every ending, not the DLC one yet and each one hit so good. The Mikoshi ending though... That legitimately broke me. I love V so much and seeing her in that situation was rough.
I'm really glad he enjoyed it. I never really tuned into a full stream but even the chat was going wild tonight. I'm so glad. Can't wait for the next stream!
combat: good world: good characters and story: mid af, especially after the heist. before the heist, ideal, perfect, everything is great. afterwards, super mid. actually, outright sucks.
The topping of the cake for me was watching him battle that parking lot full of enemies, nearly die a half dozen times, end up annihilating all of them like a boss, and then for a brief two seconds realize he didn't need to do any of that and then just brush it aside like he never had the thought.
for real, as someone who loved it at launch, it really felt awful the way the discourse devolved into hyperbole. You had a lot of people trying to say it was a fundamentally bad game, and just some bland Ubisoft bullshit, but that was never the case. I hoped one day, it would get a reevaluation, but I didn't expect it to happen this fast. Reminds me kind of how New Vegas was a debacle at launch but DLC, mods and word of mouth cemented it as a cult classic. They're different games, but I hope Cyberpunk is remembered the same way.
The company love their product! They never gave up and keep delivering, it's a shame how cbpunk launched, but right now it's even more than anyone wanted back then
I know Asmon/Zack is a very difficult man to impress, and I'm so happy to hear he enjoyed Cyberpunk2077 returning. Once CYBERPUNK hooks into you, the whole senerio itself is simply astounding, impactful, and engrossing.
@@CrimsonFIame wtf y'all mean? He's not hard to impress at all. His review are generally fair and constructive. In fact, gets hate from like some bad games All of games that charge you insane prizes, p2w, failed promises, and have them released in bared minimum is not f**king acceptable. We all got to start having self respect or a lot games will never get better. He plays a shit games and y'all expect him to like it?!? There a lot good games out there but not liking a average game is not hating on it. Though a lot of people do. In most things I see asmongold doesn't hate games for the sake of hating it. He hating those games because they are f***ing bad In his opinion. Don't get it twisted. I enjoy a lot of hated games by y'all but can still agree that a game is bad at some or maybe most things. And that's okay. You like what you like, or don't that completely fair cause games aren't marriages.
As someone who has loved Cyberpunk 2077 from the day it came out and watch it become the better game that it was meant to be this video makes me so happy.
If you loved this false promise she'll do a storyline and awful gameplay, worse than San Andreas AI game from the start, then your brain is broken and anything is fun for you.
@@NoisR Yeah console performance on lower end was literal false advertising. But I feel like too many people harped on 2077 being bad because of the superficial stuff like the metros not being a thing, characters t-posing and police chases. The main story, gameplay and skilltrees (which did get updated too I believe), RPG choices and builds were always in the game and great imo.
@@potato1499 I completely agree. People simply got too hyped and expected a second coming of Christ. I went with no expectations and actually restrained myself from spoilering the game for myself on YT / Internet and enjoyed it a lot. People were mad about the police chases which really don't actually change gameplay at all, as this is not GTA, you are not supposed to mow down innocents and police, you are V, not some psychopath.
same! i loved it since day 1 even with the minor bugs i had. im on my 3rd playthrough now, about to meet the voodoo boys then off to phantom liberty!!!! Im so hyped for PL
@@tihonannenkov4114 you guys are coping way too much. The game is much better now no doubt, but it was disaster at launch. And while it is not GTA they sold it as one, with various choices, next level AI and npcs. Even now the city still feels dead and hollow. Its a good game but a far cry from what was promised. I will never forget, CYberpunk was the first game which taught me never to pre order and its a lesson which everyone should learn. Not downplay it
I truly was a staunch supporter of this game since day one. The glitches did ruin it for me for a bit. Then I watched Edgerunners and my interest was revived. Played it through after those patches and finished it. Loved every bit. Now I’m redoing it again with patch 2.0 and Phantom Liberty and I have to say. They REALLY turned this around in the best way possible. Asmon you’re gonna love it keep playing! 🙌
I played day one on Xbox One, the game was ugly as all hell. Relatively glitch free though. The only part that sucked was all the things they showed in the gameplay trailers never made it into the game. Wall latching, monowire hacking, using the bot outside of the prologue
I knew he will like the game not only because the game is good but the way it delivers the story in that first person view is very cinematic, immersive and easy to fallow. while the classic static conversacion style with one big window infront of you like in Starfield can be hard to follow specialy for people like asmongold who are not into single player games with a focus on story
*follow And before someone tells me I'm a spelling/grammar nazi, the word 'follow' is one of the most basic-ass words in the English language that even a 2 year old can get right.
Don't blame it on classic, or anything . Starfield is just not the game of the generation , its not even the game of the month . The only reason why anyone is even talking about it is because its on xbox and gamepass . The xbox fanbois have been starving for years that's why they keep making a big deal out of it but in reality , most of the real Bethesda fanbois have moved on after the fiasco that was called fallout 76 . And yet , everytime I see ppl talking about how great starfield is , clicked inside their profile it is full of Xbox advertisement . Seriously just give up , there isn't a console war here . Ppl don't like Starfield , its a very mid game .
I was happily surprised that he enjoyed a story driven game, I think the well written characters and stories is what catch his attention, while watching him, I could see he was into it, listening to all the dialogues, this was one of the best live stream games I have watched, can't wait to see his reaction to some of the side quests.
I think it's also the setting. I personally had a harder time getting into Witcher 3 than CP2077. Not because one or the other story is better, it's just more digestible and slowly brings you in. Both games are masterpieces for me, story wise I know most side quests and main quests by heart.
Cyberpunk 2077 released as a rough unpolished gem, there were performance issues, game-breaking bugs, and all sorts of stuff that should have caught and fixed before release. But now after CD-Projekt has had time to polish and clean the game through updates and now a DLC, this gem can now finally shine a lot brighter.
cyberpunk has one of the best stories i have played recently it is a rare thing to me to play the last mission of a game multiple times to see all the endings but i did it in cyberpunk such a good game and unforgettable characters
To be fair theres 4 last missions at leat and around 15 endings if you count the variations. And im not even counting the gender variations... Depending on wich choices you do, i for example never got the Don't fear the reaper last mission because i somehow fail to build up the relationship with Jhonny.
I remember a review channel saying they love the gameplay of cyberpunk but the story isn't so good. The entire comment section is "Story is the best part of cyberpunk" or "we found the only 2 person who didn't like the story of cyberpunk"
It's always funny to see people being suddently convinced by cyberpunk 2077 although it was never that bad in the pc version. Story is unchanged at all. The new skillsystem is awesome for sure, but beside a lot of minor tweaks (incl. the police stuff, some animations etc) and performance fixes you had almost the same experience two years ago. People just burned the game because the ps4/xbox version was hilariously bad on the 1.6 tflops devices (and may never played the pc copy) while it was almost the same on pc as it is now.
bullshit. the instant pop police and other game play related issues made immersion worthless in the initial release. they released it 2 years too early and this patch proves it. utter fucking nonsense. stop smoking copium.
@@Take_The_Rideinstant pop police? You needed to go out of your way to do that tho, you had to shoot an npc for that 😂. And what “other immersion breaking gameplay issues”? Most of the bad shit in the game was just bugs, the new police system just feels like a gimmick from grand theft auto than being necessary
I got the Cyberpunk day or two before premiere, upon hour or two after release I ran it and the framerate on my 2080 was shit. I quit and behold there's a day one Nvidia geforce experience update. Download, run the game again and it's great. The biggest bug and I had was the nude T-Posing during motor bike travel. Honestly I wonder how many people called the game shit upon launch without ever checking driver updates.
Probably a lot then you had the negative press and then the people parroting that sentiment without even playing it… Seems the “community” is more toxic then the game studios and developers themselves 😮
It became my favorite game on day 2 or 3 of playing it on release. I had 0 expectations, the few bugs i had just made me laugh, and it was my first CDR game. They blew me away. I'm a huge fan now.
Most of the negatives came from last gen console players, to be fair the game should never have been released on those. I played it on a PS4 pro with a decent SSD , it was barely playable tbh but dam I loved every second of it. Replaying it now again on highest settings on PC. Having a blast, game of the decade imo.
@@christophervanzetta That's on the devs, not the community. They were cashing on a LOT of trust and respect from their community after Witcher 3. The game was not ready to be released, and no one should be forced to relly on post release drivers updates to play a AAA game with a good graphics card. There are no excuses, only steps to be taken if they wanted to get the trust back. They took those steps, and here we are.
@@Snulge It's hard to accept the level of problems when CDR had just finished with The Witcher 3, one of the best games of all time, by all metrics. It was a fall from grace, even if the foundation for cyberpunk was solid. Going in with no expectations was a lucky break for you. And you still have/had The Witcher to pick up and be amazed by.
Had the game for a while but only had maybe a couple hours into it. Saw the expansion coming out and decided to get more into it. Have enjoyed it a ton. Got the expansion and they have done a great job. Another comeback tale.
One of the very few games with a great story and great gameplay, 99% of even critically acclaimed games now days only succeed at one or the other and we just ignore the part that sucks
The gameplay is so good! I love that it does melee and shooting really well. I absolutely loved the shooting in the game until I did a katana play through with the slow time mechanic and it blew me away 😅
There was a lot to love about Cyberpunk even though I've only played it on Ps4 and yeah there was plenty wrong with it . Glad to see it's hit a good level of polish now. The story was always good if depressing .
It's very depressing, especially once you beat the story. There is nothing left to do after you beat the story in all honesty since you can't interact with companions. They really dropped the ball on this game when it comes to activities to do other the story missions
@@bugsnax4145 I think you're right The second playthrough I did as much side quests as possible and exploring but did run into some cool oddball locations like the cave out in the badlands with a sort of Batmobile car you get .
@kalohaggard1729 same here. I really took my sweet time on the second playthrough doing as much as possible. I totally forgot about that one. Yeah, it was dope, and it was also dope getting to meet Johnny's old band. Wish it could have been for longer tho. I think the depressing part was that you really didn't get much time with some of the characters since you were dying in the game, and there were a lot of cool characters that I wish you could have had more time to get to know and explore. Like Jackie was gone too fast
@@bugsnax4145 yeah it would have been cool if after the Samurai gig you play the fans would have hung around and hyped you up or something. Still loved the game. The new skill setup seems good , may have to check it out again .
@Allan_Stone umm what? You could get a happy ending in cyberpunk 2077. What are you on about? Lol. No one says that characters shouldn't die, but I still think they could of let jackie live longer because when he died I didn't really care. I could see why V would care. I didn't cause I didn't know the character for long
Glad to see CDPR finally getting their roses for Cyberpunk 2077. Always thought the game was solid. Very compelling characters and story too... plus the city is just breathtaking. The Phantom Liberty DLC really expands on the game too. The story and soundtrack are amazing... two things i was really missing from Starfield.
I couldnt agree more, played since release, the bugs were not that bad at release(i have a good pc), it was terrible on console, but i did expected that because pc project red is a pc developer they did not developed games at console... the story, the characters, and the city is all very well crafted and unique. I think they shouldnt hire keanu as silverhand, i have seen the concept arts, it was better, but i get why the leaders did pull this marketing stunt...
@@jaybee4288It literally wasn’t, just buggy. It still got the best reviews on release. While StarefieLd is just garbage with an awful story which will never be fixed.
@@jaybee4288 It was so buggy that i could walktrought 2 times with zero crashes within the first month after release. Every monkey tried to compare it GTA5, but its a red engine game, and who played witcher 3, was obvious that the car,npc, police mechanics will not be like GTA...and the game was rushed out, which isnt the devs fault, they had to make the game on PC, XBOX, AND PS5 too which is a tremendous task....rockstar games released GTA5 on PC years after console release....so imagine the task what the devs should did...in compare starfield just a 20 years old buggy engine game where the devs didnt even care, and they rely on modders to make their games keep working, and fixing...shame.
yeah even having played cyberpunk since launch, coming from starfield back to cyberpunk felt like being trapped in a basement and finally allowed to come out into the bigger world. The way every NPC interaction is like a dating sim portrait is one of the many immersion breaking issues. Sitting around in that first mission on a couch with your crew and Dex is not something I fully appreciated until I had to face so much Bethesda jank
Cyberpunk is different from No Man’s Sky because the actual story and most of the core elements that make it compelling weren’t changed. It was just released in an unpolished state, not an “unfinished” one (and for systems that it really shouldn’t have been designed for)
My man, this will be my 3rd playthrough, and I've clocked over 200 hours. Cyberpunk is a good game, and feeling like Major when playing the Phantom Liberty is incredible, but there's still a lot missing. Hanging off the walls with Mantis Blades, customising your car, an entire unused petrochem area, a corpo plaza area you can't access (yet it has a quest tracker line that goes directly through it with a missing staircase) with said corpo plaza having a route to the cut metro that's moddled but can't go through the door, as well as multiple metro stops, a whole cut nightclub and other shops and usable vending machines on a high-rise sidewalk that goes into another buildings wall, and that building has a floor you can't access to get to that high-rise sidewalk, as well as another partly modelled metro that would also take you to this nightclub area. There's probably more I'm forgetting.
@@SlainByTheWire literally none of this stuff matters to me lol. Why would I need to customize my car in a story-driven game? This is not GTA and it was never designed to be. It is not a sandbox. Doing all this stuff would just be wasting developers' time in my opinion. CDPR should do what they do best: make story-driven games with amazing writing, quests, characters and atmosphere.
Yeah, but NMS didn't charge 30 bucks for DLC when the content added isn't worth the money. They made several Phantom Liberty sized DLC with no extra charge. NMS was a passion project by an indie company, icarus flying too close to the sun. Cyberpunk was a AAA project from a company that had a reputation after The Witcher 3.
Kudos on CDProject for non giving on the game. It would have been easy for them to end of support and focus back on making another Witcher game. But there were probably devs in the company that believed the in game's original vision of 2077 and pushed to get it polished. At least it show that CDProject has some accountability and understands their mistakes.
Lmao, what are you talking about? Devs that believed in the game? I love CDPR, but you need to understand - the only reason they polished CP2077 is they made a lot of money at original launch to pay their developers for those additional 3 years. If players didn't buy the game at launch, there will be no updates. Who in a good mind will waste millions of bucks to polish the game which didn't pay off?
@@Z3rgatul a lot of games come out mediocre or bad but make a lot of money and get dropped immidiately and receive very few updates as the studio focuses of making a new game to make even more money.
This is one of my favorite games and it will be hard for anything to top this for me for a long time. The story js amazing. I joined his stream when he was doing the flashback of Johnny and his team raiding the tower. That whole sequence is what solidified this game as epic for me.
I recommend you give NieR:Automata a shot! If I had to pick a game that has the best story, characters and music out of all the games I've played, I'd say NieR:Automata. 100% NieR:Automata. It's my favorite game of all time and it's prequel NieR replicant is my 2nd favorite game of all time. Can't go wrong with this series.
The reason Cyberpunk is better than starfield is that you can play it from begining to end and not feel the need to mod it. It's the reason that very few people play base skyrim (no mods). I never felt I had to mod the Witcher 3 or 2; they are very good games.
Cyberpunk was one of the few games that after some time i noticed taking breaks was like coming out of a virtual reality set or something (where i felt trully immersed), i have great difficulty getting immersed in first person games, but this o e was so natural, even with all the hacking and cybernetics. Also most of the stories for me are XP and loot vehicles with no grip on me, and this early part with jackie welles was sooooo strong for me. Incredible game
The problem with cyberpunk at release was the really bad combat experience due to bad AI and alot of bugs. I would say the cyberpunk AI was probably as bad as the starfield AI. That's probably why some people said cyberpunk isn't that good in the beginning
Asmon doesn't enjoy story, he enjoy good Cinematic story. Just like some don't enjoy reading novel books but love the Movies, Anime adaptation. Not to mention Cyberpunk have a more Edgy theme and it fit him way more.
This game has been great since the start, it's because of all the bugs people had and last-gen platforms, I played on PC at lunch and I barely had any bugs, it is one of the best games I've ever played, epsecially the story, it really grabs you like nothing else. So I'm happy it finally gets the love it deserves.
CDPR could not have choose a better time to release this update and expansion pack. Releasing it just a couple weeks after Bethesda's major game is brutal, Cyberpunk 2077 is a 3 year old game and it feels at least 15 years newer than Bethesda's latest
Cyberpunk's story is so good already, but wait till you see the Phantom Liberty DLC. What I like about Cyberpunk is its setting and world building, CDPR did such a good job creating a universe in the cyberpunk genre.
@@Geoff-pi3pb To be fair bethesda stories were never too mind blowing. The only memorable one in any bethesda RPG was the dark brotherhood quest in oblivion. Though I have to say the biggest fault with Starfield story telling is how unoffensive it is. Which is more to do with with the modern climate of many stories nowadays coming out of good ol USA.
@@vilxxblack2472 yah bit cringeworthy at times. my recent re playthrough of cyberpunk did not make it seem like they held back on the offense meter. it was jarring playing that after starfield
Most of the early criticism was unfair IMO. 90% of the UA-cam "omg this game sux" videos would show the trash Playstation 4 version, not the PC version. The game was not perfect and the improvements were needed, but it was still an enjoyable game at launch (on PC anyways)
@eldersnowball484 because like I said, I played them back to back. And everything that starfields lacks, cyberpunk knocks out of the park. Now to be fair, I liked the gunplay of starfield and I liked the ship building. But that's it. Everything else was a joke
Just finished Phantom liberty, its definetly 10/10. Playing cyperpunk just for that DLC is definetly a Good ass choice. But as a whole its great, but the dlc is 10/10.
@@syed2694 the story is a masterpiece. It’s something new that gets you hooked. Several actions with lots of consecuences and different endings.. even side missions have different end results depending on what you do
Cyberpunk was never a bad game. On PC it was a great time at launch. I feel for my console brothers, as a PC-only player I'm no stranger to bad ports ( Hogwarts Legacy, The Last of Us, Jedi Survivor this year alone ) but the game always had a great story, great graphics and above average gameplay for an RPG. Compare it to games like Fallout 4, Mass Effect, Starfield, games from the same genre ( RPG Shooter ) and it's so much more fluid and liberating. You can go Netrunner and kill everyone in a building without even entering it, you can go sniper and shoot people through the walls, you can go shotgun or katana and just jump around the place cutting people down. What other game lets you do all that, while also having a great story and graphics?
That and the lazy, rushed abilities/game balance. At launch, it really felt like a game that nobody had even had 5 minutes to playtest. It really made the core combat of the game feel underwhelming and janky, whereas after 2.0 the abilities are impactful and fun and offer a variety of playstyles.
@@MrTaylork1 these things are not actually that important for the game. It is not a sandbox game and was obviously never intented to be. You are not supposed to be a psychopath killing civilians and mowing down police officers. You are playing as a V and he has an established character with a backstory, he is a good guy. I blame the PR team for getting people to see C2077 as a GTA5 with a cyberpunk setting: it is not and it shouldn't be.
my brother in christ, most buildings are unaccessible, npcs are much worse than gta 4's and 5's, there is little to no customisation, there is little to no activities in the open world besides quests. please, don't.
@@fussia2568gigs, ncpd scanner hustles, side missions/questlines were in the game on release. And now with the revamped police and random events that happen, you're just showing you never paid this game any more attention than a passing glance
I watched his entire prologue play today and am glad he came across a game he's satisfied with. cyberpunk was never terrible in its DNA but was a great game. I played it day 1 it was released on stadia and beat it, and enjoyed it so much. initial issues with the game was mostly due to tons of bugs and failed marketing message (it's kind of semi-open world as in there's whole city, but actions are limited like Witcher 3 as the game focuses on story and cinematics, and it's not full open world like GTAV, but everyone was comparing against GTAV). playing it on stadia was flawlessly awesome (except npcs being weird, or jackie driving like an idiot, etc). then I beat it for the second time on steam deck and now playing phantom liberty. asmon likes experiments and rapid gameplay without focusing too much on small crap or reading, so i think cyberpunk's visual-driven storytelling and highspeed action through hacks and shooting will be perfect for him.
im so glad cp277 is finally getting the good attention it deserves. ive been reccommending this game for a while now and all my friends are like "isnt that game garbage?"
Since day 1 I like this game, but because of people's hate I was embarrassed to say this was my favorite game lol ...I'm glad people are finally starting to love it.
Going from starfield to cyberpunk really let's it sink in how bad starfield actually is. From stupid AI, to clear as day modern day political bias everywhere, to the poor decisions such as no vehicles etc. Can't even assassinate in starfield, the design choices also feel bland (the uniforms and outfits and gun design). Starfield has no personality The city in cyberpunk actually feels alive compared to starfield. Made me realize just how bad starfield actually was
Played a little bit when game came out, and havn't touched it since. With the release of 2.0, I decided to give it another whirl, and I'm in love. My eyes are bloodshot from the amount of hours I Put in today. Great Job CD Projeckt RED.
I love cyberpunk since it's disastrous release and people still don't see the difference between a buggy/broken game to a bad one. CB never was bad, just broken. Thanks to clarify that to some ppl asmon, you rock!
the only thing disappointing about cyberpunk is the forced ending... i stop playing when i realise whatever you choose, you die. it just choosing how to die. basically i was expecting a witcher style experience when you will get a cyberpunk 2 etc and just continue the legend, but it seem V is just a throw away character, it just hard to be invested it it... they might as well make johnny the main character. i feel when they bought keanu in, they have no choice but to expand his character to avoid disappointed, and the MC was sacrificed for that. i won't say it a bad game. but i feel like i am watching a story than playing a game, the initiative is not with u, you are just there for a ride. it a good ride, but it still a ride.
The story and gameplay was always good, the game was just very buggy which is where the main complaints came from. With that now mostly fixed its a really good game!
I could see that Asmon got changed after playing this first session of Cyberpunk 2077. That‘s what happened to a lot of people. This game is truly something special.
Cyberpunk had an idea. I don't know if it's a good one, I don't even know what it is. But when you drive around night city with the radio, you can almost hear the idea.
I am so happy that You liked it, Asmon! I enjoyed Cyberpunk beyond words since the very beginning - my little trick was using GeForce Now Ultimate for playing it - the cloud gaming service that made tech requirements a non-issue. Cyberpunk is georgeous indeed, it always has been, bugs or not. Peace!
@@WWE2KUNIVERSEELITE as far as i know it needs good internet connection and if you have that, you'll probably be able to play at max settings. it depends on your internet, not your pc
@@WWE2KUNIVERSEELITE Sure. GeForce Now is a cloud gaming service which means, that game runs "on Nvidia rig" - one that You rent by paing for the service. Then, the 'picture from the game' is just streamed to Your PC just like a UA-cam video. You are controlling the game that is 'running on nvidia server in some nvidia data center'. Highest tier of this service called "Ultimate" will let You play Cyberpunk on Ultra + Ray Tracing, 4k and everything else in perfectly smooth way. That's why I use it. The only requirements for this are: / obviously the 'Ultimate' tier service costs few dollars. There is free tier too, but it is limited and useless. / You need good internet to stream the game to Your PC in a smooth way. The kind that will stream 2k or 4k without any slowdowns, so You could play normally. That's it. I personally love it. I also save trilion GB of space thanks to this, as GeForce Now obviously do not require You to install games on Your PC, as they are stored and run on nvidia server.
@@WWE2KUNIVERSEELITE GeForce Now is a cloud gaming service, which means Your pc tech is irrelevant. Game is running on Nvidia servers, it is just streamed to You. With highest tier of this service, GeForce Now Ultimate, You can run Cyberpunk on Ultra everything + RT + 4k with way above hundred fps. It is just 'renting top tier gaming PC by cloud from Nvidia'.
In retrospect I'm somewhat glad Cyberpunk had the launch that it did have, No Man's Sky as well as it suffered from the same problem, because it signaled to at least some parts of the industry that pushing for ridiculous deadlines in order to make certain Sales dates is a horrible idea that will get your broken ass game openly mocked by the consumer base. If you didn't have studios like Hello Games and CDPR that were impatient and paid the price for it you wouldn't have a studio like Larian who took their time and released Baldur's Gate 3 in almost perfect condition on Day 1.
Cyberpunk is great. I loved it since day 1, obviously I'm having even better time now. What a crazy good game. Great story. Great gameplay. Great characters and dialogue
Hey Bethesda look, when you reload your gun in Cyberpunk he doesn’t rack the bolt with a bullet still in the chamber. Seems like they took 30 seconds to google how a gun works yet you still haven’t in the year 2023.
You call that bullying? I would say it's customers getting bullied to pay this price for something that neither has action, nor immersive world and is packed with loading screens everywhere. This isn't skyrim or... is it?
The game on release wasn’t dogshit garbage because of the story😂 the story is great. The game was dogshit garbage on release because it was broken af, you couldn’t walk three steps without kicking up a glitch or a bug, quests were broken, T pose left and right, and crashes. The story is one of the best in recent games.
Cyberpunk was good and you saw the effort the cinematic the acting and story it was just very good from the beginning. The game just wasn't polished and buggy but the people where acting like the core of the game was terrible.
Story was always good, they didn't patch the... story. People were complaining about game being unplayable because of bugs. I played it around 1-2 months after release and had 0 issues with bugs. What can I say, I guess I'm lucky...
I played it for the first time a few weeks ago. 60 hours in and had an absolute blast. It was soooooo good. I kept saying to my mates, I don’t understand the hate for this game it’s amazing!
2.0 changes everything I mean everything. Restarted after besting it and liking it the first time. And it's way way better. And yes it's got bugs but good with bugs is welcomed
@@Alexander-zt9kz unfortunately I had 2 major game breaking bugs in 2.0, the one with the glitch effect that won't go away that was cause by dialogue with Johnny, and an invincibility glitch after doing The Beast in Me side quest, and I can't fix it at all, no matter what I do.
@@L-vs7fp I've played the new update for 10 hours, I've encountered 17 bugs, and reported all of them. However I can't say that they're "new", they're the same bugs that were in the game before that never got fixed.
I tried cyberpunk maybe a year ago after a lot of this initial fixes and it was my favourite game I ever played. It’s definitely not perfect, the city STILL doesn’t feel as alive as many games. But god damn it’s still so immersive!
bro i always wanted excuse to get back in Cyberpunk and man Phantom liberty and 2.0 update did just that wish they just implement 3rd person but still from 4hours to now almost 100hours in cyberpunk i can say for sure This game is So fkinggg good and u r actually missing out if u not playin this
The game actually gets better with the dlc, the main story is more self-focused and arasaka focused, but the dlc is world focused and is secret spy 007 themes that hit so hard in this created world. It's such a great game now.
Cyberpunk2077 is a cautionary tale of the weight of ambition; it was good at least that cdpr spent 3 years getting the game to where it should've been, most other companies would've just taken the money and ran. lol
I don't know if he talked about it more afterwards but I feel he got the launch impressions wrong. People that said it was hot garbage when the game came out said so because it was buggy and missing many base game features 2.0 brought in (police system, vehicle combat, better cyberwear, etc.). That's why even the base game is now much better because they updated the missing features people wanted. As for the story it was always the opposite, that was arguably the best thing, with music and visuals following right after. It's just really sad this couldn't be the cyberpunk 1.0, I feel like this game would be in a much different state (at least with public perception).
Cyberpunk is probably one of my favorite games of the decade so far, I have played it like 150 hours and now I'm playing the phantom liberty, I'm glad more people are giving it a chance after the 2.0 update, and Asmon's commentary and stream on it will definitely bring more people to it! I'm also glad the great effort from CD Projekt Red didn't go to waste and they ended up fixing it (but it wasn't a situation like Fallout 76 in which it felt too late when the game was. polished), the great story and characters would make the game memorable regardless of the bugs...
To be fair to 76 (And that's hard to do) they at least didn't charge 30 bucks for a DLC before making sure the game was up to par. The game does have microtransactions but it's a live service game. They released DLC sized content without asking for a cent. More content than Phantom Liberty and no charges for it. The game that wins the race is No mans's sky, with several of Phantom Liberty sized updates and never asking for a cent more than the box price.
I tried cyberpunk for the first time this week and have 0 regrets , one of the most enjoyable experiences in recent years gaming
The same , this is finnaly gonne replace skyrim for me 🤣🤣🤣
At 26 years old this game made me feel the same way I felt when I played GTA San Andreas in my childhood when I was 10 years old.... Cyberpunk is not a perfect game but it still gets me.
Think I’m gonna have to try it myself.
2 weeks and not looking back

this was a great stream chat was wild everyone was having a good time
beats lost ark shit hone banning by miles
Chat was going wild. Absolute banger of a stream. To hear that he actually enjoys the story brings a smile to my face, because the story and world building even though slow in the beginning, sets you up for future immersion and a deep dive into Mike Pondsmith's original work.

The story was never bad, it was the gameplay at launch.
Even the core gameplay was always fun, it was just all the bugs the really made the game fall flat.
@@KiddBuu_ exactly, ppl who say the game was bad, havent played the game back then themselves xD just seen some youtube shorts. Game was always lit, if asmon played cp77 back in 2020, he would have the same fucking opinion about the game guarantee. Nobody cares about ai police overhaul, or perk tree remaster, literally nobody. Asmon didnt engage with police at all and never will, he doesnt fucking care about the talent trees at all. What makes cp77 good is not these worthless stupid dogshit systems.
Honestly when Asmon asks bout where's the loading screen whenever he enters a building. I find it so funny that seamless open world was supposed to be a requirement already
Its asmon doe, he shits on every game for attention
Honestly, the problem wasn't even the bugs, it was some missing features that CDPR showcased and didn't ended up in the game, such as wall grabbing and shot from vehicles (you could only do that if you was the passenger, at first), now most of the features CDPR brought later in the game, and i believe only the wall grabbing was left out of it.
All the other features are present in the game now, and most bugs are already fixed.
cyberpunk also has amazing music which made moments in the story feel way more intense and emotional, especially in the end credits
Cruising through night city with Pon Pon Shit on the radio. Good times

Cyberpunk's music hasn't been mentioned enough, not only the OST is insane, but all the radio with original music is just insane.

Kinda crazy how the Cyberpunk Anime and subsequent dlcs and updates gave this game a whole new life.
for real, as someone who loved it at launch, it really felt awful the way the discourse devolved into hyperbole. You had a lot of people trying to say it was a fundamentally bad game, and just some bland Ubisoft bullshit, but that was never the case. I hoped one day, it would get a reevaluation, but I didn't expect it to happen this fast. Reminds me kind of how New Vegas was a debacle at launch but DLC, mods and word of mouth cemented it as a cult classic. They're different games, but I hope Cyberpunk is remembered the same way.

He's not hard to impress at all. His review are generally fair and constructive. In fact, gets hate from like some bad games

There a lot good games out there but not liking a average game is not hating on it. Though a lot of people do.

The story was always good, it was just the occasional jank and buggy that people focused on
@@NoisR Yeah console performance on lower end was literal false advertising. But I feel like too many people harped on 2077 being bad because of the superficial stuff like the metros not being a thing, characters t-posing and police chases. The main story, gameplay and skilltrees (which did get updated too I believe), RPG choices and builds were always in the game and great imo.
@@potato1499 I completely agree. People simply got too hyped and expected a second coming of Christ. I went with no expectations and actually restrained myself from spoilering the game for myself on YT / Internet and enjoyed it a lot. People were mad about the police chases which really don't actually change gameplay at all, as this is not GTA, you are not supposed to mow down innocents and police, you are V, not some psychopath.
same! i loved it since day 1 even with the minor bugs i had. im on my 3rd playthrough now, about to meet the voodoo boys then off to phantom liberty!!!! Im so hyped for PL
@@tihonannenkov4114 you guys are coping way too much. The game is much better now no doubt, but it was disaster at launch. And while it is not GTA they sold it as one, with various choices, next level AI and npcs. Even now the city still feels dead and hollow. Its a good game but a far cry from what was promised. I will never forget, CYberpunk was the first game which taught me never to pre order and its a lesson which everyone should learn. Not downplay it
I truly was a staunch supporter of this game since day one. The glitches did ruin it for me for a bit. Then I watched Edgerunners and my interest was revived. Played it through after those patches and finished it. Loved every bit. Now I’m redoing it again with patch 2.0 and Phantom Liberty and I have to say. They REALLY turned this around in the best way possible. Asmon you’re gonna love it keep playing! 🙌
I played day one on Xbox One, the game was ugly as all hell. Relatively glitch free though. The only part that sucked was all the things they showed in the gameplay trailers never made it into the game. Wall latching, monowire hacking, using the bot outside of the prologue
Im a brand new player and im gonne play this like skyrim creating 10 characters in 3 months all with different endings missions and builds
same for me a day one player and supporter, my 2.0 experiance is amazing
I knew he will like the game not only because the game is good but the way it delivers the story in that first person view is very cinematic, immersive and easy to fallow. while the classic static conversacion style with one big window infront of you like in Starfield can be hard to follow specialy for people like asmongold who are not into single player games with a focus on story
"fallow"
come on man... do you have a brain?
I really like that you can walk around while talking to someone in the game. It's a very nice touch

@@RafaelBenedicto I didn't notice the typo ty
Don't blame it on classic, or anything . Starfield is just not the game of the generation , its not even the game of the month . The only reason why anyone is even talking about it is because its on xbox and gamepass . The xbox fanbois have been starving for years that's why they keep making a big deal out of it but in reality , most of the real Bethesda fanbois have moved on after the fiasco that was called fallout 76 . And yet , everytime I see ppl talking about how great starfield is , clicked inside their profile it is full of Xbox advertisement . Seriously just give up , there isn't a console war here . Ppl don't like Starfield , its a very mid game .
I was happily surprised that he enjoyed a story driven game, I think the well written characters and stories is what catch his attention, while watching him, I could see he was into it, listening to all the dialogues, this was one of the best live stream games I have watched, can't wait to see his reaction to some of the side quests.
I think it's also the setting. I personally had a harder time getting into Witcher 3 than CP2077. Not because one or the other story is better, it's just more digestible and slowly brings you in. Both games are masterpieces for me, story wise I know most side quests and main quests by heart.
Cyberpunk 2077 released as a rough unpolished gem, there were performance issues, game-breaking bugs, and all sorts of stuff that should have caught and fixed before release. But now after CD-Projekt has had time to polish and clean the game through updates and now a DLC, this gem can now finally shine a lot brighter.

cyberpunk has one of the best stories i have played recently it is a rare thing to me to play the last mission of a game multiple times to see all the endings but i did it in cyberpunk such a good game and unforgettable characters
To be fair theres 4 last missions at leat and around 15 endings if you count the variations.
And im not even counting the gender variations...
Depending on wich choices you do, i for example never got the Don't fear the reaper last mission because i somehow fail to build up the relationship with Jhonny.
I remember a review channel saying they love the gameplay of cyberpunk but the story isn't so good. The entire comment section is "Story is the best part of cyberpunk" or "we found the only 2 person who didn't like the story of cyberpunk"
It's always funny to see people being suddently convinced by cyberpunk 2077 although it was never that bad in the pc version. Story is unchanged at all. The new skillsystem is awesome for sure, but beside a lot of minor tweaks (incl. the police stuff, some animations etc) and performance fixes you had almost the same experience two years ago. People just burned the game because the ps4/xbox version was hilariously bad on the 1.6 tflops devices (and may never played the pc copy) while it was almost the same on pc as it is now.
bullshit. the instant pop police and other game play related issues made immersion worthless in the initial release. they released it 2 years too early and this patch proves it.
utter fucking nonsense. stop smoking copium.
1000%
@@Take_The_Rideinstant pop police? You needed to go out of your way to do that tho, you had to shoot an npc for that 😂. And what “other immersion breaking gameplay issues”? Most of the bad shit in the game was just bugs, the new police system just feels like a gimmick from grand theft auto than being necessary
The final game was fine on a vacuum, but it wasn't what they sold people on for most of its development cycle.
This is cap
I got the Cyberpunk day or two before premiere, upon hour or two after release I ran it and the framerate on my 2080 was shit.
I quit and behold there's a day one Nvidia geforce experience update.
Download, run the game again and it's great. The biggest bug and I had was the nude T-Posing during motor bike travel.
Honestly I wonder how many people called the game shit upon launch without ever checking driver updates.
Probably a lot then you had the negative press and then the people parroting that sentiment without even playing it…
Seems the “community” is more toxic then the game studios and developers themselves 😮
It became my favorite game on day 2 or 3 of playing it on release. I had 0 expectations, the few bugs i had just made me laugh, and it was my first CDR game. They blew me away. I'm a huge fan now.
Most of the negatives came from last gen console players, to be fair the game should never have been released on those.
I played it on a PS4 pro with a decent SSD , it was barely playable tbh but dam I loved every second of it. Replaying it now again on highest settings on PC. Having a blast, game of the decade imo.
@@christophervanzetta That's on the devs, not the community. They were cashing on a LOT of trust and respect from their community after Witcher 3. The game was not ready to be released, and no one should be forced to relly on post release drivers updates to play a AAA game with a good graphics card. There are no excuses, only steps to be taken if they wanted to get the trust back. They took those steps, and here we are.
@@Snulge It's hard to accept the level of problems when CDR had just finished with The Witcher 3, one of the best games of all time, by all metrics. It was a fall from grace, even if the foundation for cyberpunk was solid. Going in with no expectations was a lucky break for you. And you still have/had The Witcher to pick up and be amazed by.

There was a lot to love about Cyberpunk even though I've only played it on Ps4 and yeah there was plenty wrong with it . Glad to see it's hit a good level of polish now. The story was always good if depressing .
It's very depressing, especially once you beat the story. There is nothing left to do after you beat the story in all honesty since you can't interact with companions. They really dropped the ball on this game when it comes to activities to do other the story missions
@@bugsnax4145 I think you're right The second playthrough I did as much side quests as possible and exploring but did run into some cool oddball locations like the cave out in the badlands with a sort of Batmobile car you get .

Yeah, it was dope, and it was also dope getting to meet Johnny's old band. Wish it could have been for longer tho.

Glad to see CDPR finally getting their roses for Cyberpunk 2077. Always thought the game was solid. Very compelling characters and story too... plus the city is just breathtaking. The Phantom Liberty DLC really expands on the game too. The story and soundtrack are amazing... two things i was really missing from Starfield.
I couldnt agree more, played since release, the bugs were not that bad at release(i have a good pc), it was terrible on console, but i did expected that because pc project red is a pc developer they did not developed games at console... the story, the characters, and the city is all very well crafted and unique. I think they shouldnt hire keanu as silverhand, i have seen the concept arts, it was better, but i get why the leaders did pull this marketing stunt...

Bro I always cry with that Jackie Death scene, shit is rough
even asmon got the feels
As a Cyberpunk fan since day one i am so happy that he played the game.
As a Genshin Impact fan however.....
yeah even having played cyberpunk since launch, coming from starfield back to cyberpunk felt like being trapped in a basement and finally allowed to come out into the bigger world. The way every NPC interaction is like a dating sim portrait is one of the many immersion breaking issues. Sitting around in that first mission on a couch with your crew and Dex is not something I fully appreciated until I had to face so much Bethesda jank
This a real review of the game. If only it shipped like this
Cyberpunk is different from No Man’s Sky because the actual story and most of the core elements that make it compelling weren’t changed. It was just released in an unpolished state, not an “unfinished” one (and for systems that it really shouldn’t have been designed for)
My man, this will be my 3rd playthrough, and I've clocked over 200 hours.
Cyberpunk is a good game, and feeling like Major when playing the Phantom Liberty is incredible, but there's still a lot missing.
Hanging off the walls with Mantis Blades, customising your car, an entire unused petrochem area, a corpo plaza area you can't access (yet it has a quest tracker line that goes directly through it with a missing staircase) with said corpo plaza having a route to the cut metro that's moddled but can't go through the door, as well as multiple metro stops, a whole cut nightclub and other shops and usable vending machines on a high-rise sidewalk that goes into another buildings wall, and that building has a floor you can't access to get to that high-rise sidewalk, as well as another partly modelled metro that would also take you to this nightclub area.
There's probably more I'm forgetting.
@@SlainByTheWire literally none of this stuff matters to me lol. Why would I need to customize my car in a story-driven game? This is not GTA and it was never designed to be. It is not a sandbox. Doing all this stuff would just be wasting developers' time in my opinion. CDPR should do what they do best: make story-driven games with amazing writing, quests, characters and atmosphere.
Yeah, but NMS didn't charge 30 bucks for DLC when the content added isn't worth the money. They made several Phantom Liberty sized DLC with no extra charge.
NMS was a passion project by an indie company, icarus flying too close to the sun. Cyberpunk was a AAA project from a company that had a reputation after The Witcher 3.
Kudos on CDProject for non giving on the game. It would have been easy for them to end of support and focus back on making another Witcher game. But there were probably devs in the company that believed the in game's original vision of 2077 and pushed to get it polished. At least it show that CDProject has some accountability and understands their mistakes.
I mean they basically focused on development more strictly when their actions dropped, getting freed of sharks probably good thing after all.
Lmao, what are you talking about? Devs that believed in the game? I love CDPR, but you need to understand - the only reason they polished CP2077 is they made a lot of money at original launch to pay their developers for those additional 3 years. If players didn't buy the game at launch, there will be no updates. Who in a good mind will waste millions of bucks to polish the game which didn't pay off?
@@Z3rgatul well we are having a flood of unpolished games, so any game that is polished sticks out a lot actually

This is one of my favorite games and it will be hard for anything to top this for me for a long time. The story js amazing. I joined his stream when he was doing the flashback of Johnny and his team raiding the tower. That whole sequence is what solidified this game as epic for me.
I recommend you give NieR:Automata a shot! If I had to pick a game that has the best story, characters and music out of all the games I've played, I'd say NieR:Automata. 100% NieR:Automata.
It's my favorite game of all time and it's prequel NieR replicant is my 2nd favorite game of all time.
Can't go wrong with this series.
The reason Cyberpunk is better than starfield is that you can play it from begining to end and not feel the need to mod it. It's the reason that very few people play base skyrim (no mods). I never felt I had to mod the Witcher 3 or 2; they are very good games.
Cyberpunk was one of the few games that after some time i noticed taking breaks was like coming out of a virtual reality set or something (where i felt trully immersed), i have great difficulty getting immersed in first person games, but this o e was so natural, even with all the hacking and cybernetics.
Also most of the stories for me are XP and loot vehicles with no grip on me, and this early part with jackie welles was sooooo strong for me.
Incredible game
Im really happy hearing this , CP is one of my fav games
This game is always been incredibly good
The problem with cyberpunk at release was the really bad combat experience due to bad AI and alot of bugs. I would say the cyberpunk AI was probably as bad as the starfield AI. That's probably why some people said cyberpunk isn't that good in the beginning
It's great that he's thoroughly enjoying the game. I hope he has a blast.
Asmon doesn't enjoy story, he enjoy good Cinematic story. Just like some don't enjoy reading novel books but love the Movies, Anime adaptation. Not to mention Cyberpunk have a more Edgy theme and it fit him way more.
This game has been great since the start, it's because of all the bugs people had and last-gen platforms, I played on PC at lunch and I barely had any bugs, it is one of the best games I've ever played, epsecially the story, it really grabs you like nothing else.
So I'm happy it finally gets the love it deserves.
CDPR could not have choose a better time to release this update and expansion pack. Releasing it just a couple weeks after Bethesda's major game is brutal, Cyberpunk 2077 is a 3 year old game and it feels at least 15 years newer than Bethesda's latest
Cyberpunk's story is so good already, but wait till you see the Phantom Liberty DLC. What I like about Cyberpunk is its setting and world building, CDPR did such a good job creating a universe in the cyberpunk genre.
yup. where starfield entirely missed the mark. sad too.
@@Geoff-pi3pb To be fair bethesda stories were never too mind blowing. The only memorable one in any bethesda RPG was the dark brotherhood quest in oblivion.

Just finished Phantom liberty, its definetly 10/10. Playing cyperpunk just for that DLC is definetly a Good ass choice. But as a whole its great, but the dlc is 10/10.
So glad to see Asmon playing this. The game was great from day one, sure it was buggy, but the story is an absolute masterpiece.
Masterpiece 😂
@@syed2694 the story is a masterpiece. It’s something new that gets you hooked. Several actions with lots of consecuences and different endings.. even side missions have different end results depending on what you do
Yeah, masterpiece.@@syed2694
@@syed2694 If not a masterpiece, you can't deny that it's far above average.
Cyberpunk was never a bad game. On PC it was a great time at launch. I feel for my console brothers, as a PC-only player I'm no stranger to bad ports ( Hogwarts Legacy, The Last of Us, Jedi Survivor this year alone ) but the game always had a great story, great graphics and above average gameplay for an RPG. Compare it to games like Fallout 4, Mass Effect, Starfield, games from the same genre ( RPG Shooter ) and it's so much more fluid and liberating. You can go Netrunner and kill everyone in a building without even entering it, you can go sniper and shoot people through the walls, you can go shotgun or katana and just jump around the place cutting people down. What other game lets you do all that, while also having a great story and graphics?
Was a great stream, glad he enjoyed it, hopefully he does a full playthrough.
He said Edge
_"at your house" starts playing in yo mind_
the problem with the game was all the bugs it was never a bad game on its own
That and the lazy, rushed abilities/game balance. At launch, it really felt like a game that nobody had even had 5 minutes to playtest. It really made the core combat of the game feel underwhelming and janky, whereas after 2.0 the abilities are impactful and fun and offer a variety of playstyles.
The systems were trash too. Crafting was (still is?) a meme. Police system was garbage. NPC AI.
@@MrTaylork1 these things are not actually that important for the game. It is not a sandbox game and was obviously never intented to be. You are not supposed to be a psychopath killing civilians and mowing down police officers. You are playing as a V and he has an established character with a backstory, he is a good guy. I blame the PR team for getting people to see C2077 as a GTA5 with a cyberpunk setting: it is not and it shouldn't be.
Asmon and Johny Zack and Silverhand what a duo
No one ever talks about how amazing the open world is. There are almost no loading screens aside from the fast travel.
And there's s mod that eliminates that too by replacing it with the GTA5s transition of zooming out into the clouds and zooming back in to the ground.
my brother in christ, most buildings are unaccessible, npcs are much worse than gta 4's and 5's, there is little to no customisation, there is little to no activities in the open world besides quests. please, don't.
@@fussia2568 Activities are for children. GROW UP.
@@fussia2568gigs, ncpd scanner hustles, side missions/questlines were in the game on release. And now with the revamped police and random events that happen, you're just showing you never paid this game any more attention than a passing glance
@@fussia2568 and GTA is good at those, 2077 is not GTA
Cyberpunk 2 is gonna go crazy, can't wait for it
I watched his entire prologue play today and am glad he came across a game he's satisfied with. cyberpunk was never terrible in its DNA but was a great game. I played it day 1 it was released on stadia and beat it, and enjoyed it so much. initial issues with the game was mostly due to tons of bugs and failed marketing message (it's kind of semi-open world as in there's whole city, but actions are limited like Witcher 3 as the game focuses on story and cinematics, and it's not full open world like GTAV, but everyone was comparing against GTAV). playing it on stadia was flawlessly awesome (except npcs being weird, or jackie driving like an idiot, etc). then I beat it for the second time on steam deck and now playing phantom liberty. asmon likes experiments and rapid gameplay without focusing too much on small crap or reading, so i think cyberpunk's visual-driven storytelling and highspeed action through hacks and shooting will be perfect for him.
I feel like Starfield fans are coping. No matter how shit the game is they will still say the enjoyed the game because there's a Bethesda logo on it.
im so glad cp277 is finally getting the good attention it deserves. ive been reccommending this game for a while now and all my friends are like "isnt that game garbage?"
Since day 1 I like this game, but because of people's hate I was embarrassed to say this was my favorite game lol ...I'm glad people are finally starting to love it.
Going from release Starfield to a polished Cyberpunk 2077 is quite an experience.
Going from starfield to cyberpunk really let's it sink in how bad starfield actually is.
From stupid AI, to clear as day modern day political bias everywhere, to the poor decisions such as no vehicles etc. Can't even assassinate in starfield, the design choices also feel bland (the uniforms and outfits and gun design). Starfield has no personality
The city in cyberpunk actually feels alive compared to starfield.
Made me realize just how bad starfield actually was
The real reason why Cyberpunk can make a comeback and starfield can’t. Is because your game has to have a soul to begin with
Played a little bit when game came out, and havn't touched it since. With the release of 2.0, I decided to give it another whirl, and I'm in love. My eyes are bloodshot from the amount of hours I Put in today. Great Job CD Projeckt RED.
I love cyberpunk since it's disastrous release and people still don't see the difference between a buggy/broken game to a bad one. CB never was bad, just broken. Thanks to clarify that to some ppl asmon, you rock!
It's crazy how good writing makes plain writing feel so bad
the only thing disappointing about cyberpunk is the forced ending... i stop playing when i realise whatever you choose, you die. it just choosing how to die. basically i was expecting a witcher style experience when you will get a cyberpunk 2 etc and just continue the legend, but it seem V is just a throw away character, it just hard to be invested it it... they might as well make johnny the main character. i feel when they bought keanu in, they have no choice but to expand his character to avoid disappointed, and the MC was sacrificed for that. i won't say it a bad game. but i feel like i am watching a story than playing a game, the initiative is not with u, you are just there for a ride. it a good ride, but it still a ride.
I’m glad he liked it, such a good game !
Cyberpunk and witcher are both in my top 5 games
The story and gameplay was always good, the game was just very buggy which is where the main complaints came from. With that now mostly fixed its a really good game!
Wait! Asmon went Nomad?! That's awesome!!!
I could see that Asmon got changed after playing this first session of Cyberpunk 2077. That‘s what happened to a lot of people. This game is truly something special.
Cyberpunk had an idea. I don't know if it's a good one, I don't even know what it is.
But when you drive around night city with the radio, you can almost hear the idea.
I am so happy that You liked it, Asmon! I enjoyed Cyberpunk beyond words since the very beginning - my little trick was using GeForce Now Ultimate for playing it - the cloud gaming service that made tech requirements a non-issue.
Cyberpunk is georgeous indeed, it always has been, bugs or not.
Peace!
Can you explain what the benefits of this geforce now? Are you able to play cp2077 at max?
@@WWE2KUNIVERSEELITE as far as i know it needs good internet connection and if you have that, you'll probably be able to play at max settings. it depends on your internet, not your pc
@@WWE2KUNIVERSEELITE Sure. GeForce Now is a cloud gaming service which means, that game runs "on Nvidia rig" - one that You rent by paing for the service.
Then, the 'picture from the game' is just streamed to Your PC just like a UA-cam video. You are controlling the game that is 'running on nvidia server in some nvidia data center'.
Highest tier of this service called "Ultimate" will let You play Cyberpunk on Ultra + Ray Tracing, 4k and everything else in perfectly smooth way. That's why I use it.
The only requirements for this are:
/ obviously the 'Ultimate' tier service costs few dollars. There is free tier too, but it is limited and useless.
/ You need good internet to stream the game to Your PC in a smooth way. The kind that will stream 2k or 4k without any slowdowns, so You could play normally.
That's it.
I personally love it. I also save trilion GB of space thanks to this, as GeForce Now obviously do not require You to install games on Your PC, as they are stored and run on nvidia server.
@@WWE2KUNIVERSEELITE GeForce Now is a cloud gaming service, which means Your pc tech is irrelevant. Game is running on Nvidia servers, it is just streamed to You.
With highest tier of this service, GeForce Now Ultimate, You can run Cyberpunk on Ultra everything + RT + 4k with way above hundred fps.
It is just 'renting top tier gaming PC by cloud from Nvidia'.
Oh shit.@@josephine.1226
In retrospect I'm somewhat glad Cyberpunk had the launch that it did have, No Man's Sky as well as it suffered from the same problem, because it signaled to at least some parts of the industry that pushing for ridiculous deadlines in order to make certain Sales dates is a horrible idea that will get your broken ass game openly mocked by the consumer base.
If you didn't have studios like Hello Games and CDPR that were impatient and paid the price for it you wouldn't have a studio like Larian who took their time and released Baldur's Gate 3 in almost perfect condition on Day 1.
Cyberpunk is great. I loved it since day 1, obviously I'm having even better time now. What a crazy good game. Great story. Great gameplay. Great characters and dialogue
Hey Bethesda look, when you reload your gun in Cyberpunk he doesn’t rack the bolt with a bullet still in the chamber. Seems like they took 30 seconds to google how a gun works yet you still haven’t in the year 2023.
It's crazy going from Starfield to Cyberpunk
It really feels like bullying comparing the two
You call that bullying? I would say it's customers getting bullied to pay this price for something that neither has action, nor immersive world and is packed with loading screens everywhere. This isn't skyrim or... is it?
I like both games if that’s okay.
The game on release wasn’t dogshit garbage because of the story😂 the story is great. The game was dogshit garbage on release because it was broken af, you couldn’t walk three steps without kicking up a glitch or a bug, quests were broken, T pose left and right, and crashes. The story is one of the best in recent games.
Cyberpunk was good and you saw the effort the cinematic the acting and story it was just very good from the beginning. The game just wasn't polished and buggy but the people where acting like the core of the game was terrible.
Story was always good, they didn't patch the... story. People were complaining about game being unplayable because of bugs. I played it around 1-2 months after release and had 0 issues with bugs. What can I say, I guess I'm lucky...
I played it for the first time a few weeks ago. 60 hours in and had an absolute blast. It was soooooo good. I kept saying to my mates, I don’t understand the hate for this game it’s amazing!
I’m so confused. Why wouldn’t you understand the hate for this game when you played it three years and multiple overhauls after the hate?
CP was just buggy at launch but enjoyable (PC), old gen consoles not running it is what added the hate
It was a great stream. So happy he likes the game and excited for him to continue today
2.0 changes everything I mean everything. Restarted after besting it and liking it the first time. And it's way way better. And yes it's got bugs but good with bugs is welcomed
The story, and game itself is fantastic, the only issue with this game is the bugs. And it's gotten a lot better with that in 3 years.
Played the new update for a good 30 hours now and encountered 0 bugs. Back at release? Every 4 minutes for sure.
Theres little to no bugs in 2.0, majority of the bugs were fixed over 1 year ago in patch 1.5 & 1.3
@@Alexander-zt9kz unfortunately I had 2 major game breaking bugs in 2.0, the one with the glitch effect that won't go away that was cause by dialogue with Johnny, and an invincibility glitch after doing The Beast in Me side quest, and I can't fix it at all, no matter what I do.
@@L-vs7fp I've played the new update for 10 hours, I've encountered 17 bugs, and reported all of them. However I can't say that they're "new", they're the same bugs that were in the game before that never got fixed.
@@Tony-sp2ed I see, this is either super rare or it was introduced in patch 2.0. Either case, very disappointing that it happened to you.
I tried cyberpunk maybe a year ago after a lot of this initial fixes and it was my favourite game I ever played. It’s definitely not perfect, the city STILL doesn’t feel as alive as many games. But god damn it’s still so immersive!
As a loyal fan of the GTA saga that I always was, I must say that cyberpunk is currently my favorite game.
@jessicaguarin3897 well with the decline of Rockstar, you really needed a good meal
Cyberpunk would not have gotten such a bad rap if it just released on new gen only. It was dog dooky on the Xbox one
bro i always wanted excuse to get back in Cyberpunk and man Phantom liberty and 2.0 update did just that wish they just implement 3rd person but still from 4hours to now almost 100hours in cyberpunk i can say for sure This game is So fkinggg good and u r actually missing out if u not playin this
not a single loading screen in the game
The game actually gets better with the dlc, the main story is more self-focused and arasaka focused, but the dlc is world focused and is secret spy 007 themes that hit so hard in this created world. It's such a great game now.
Gonna watch the entire VOD. I was sure he wouldn't play it.
Where can I find the VOD?
Does he upload the stream to UA-cam?
Yes on his gaming channel - Asmongold Gaming@@asekuaz
On pc, it was never garbage. Tbh I didn't really have any problems and have loved this game from day one
Cyberpunk2077 is a cautionary tale of the weight of ambition; it was good at least that cdpr spent 3 years getting the game to where it should've been, most other companies would've just taken the money and ran. lol
Idk about that. Seems to be the standard for many new games nowadays. Release an incomplete mess and polish it over the next few years.
@@vilxxblack2472 Jedi Survivor got better but Redfall was left to languish
@@Boss_Fight_Index_muki Not even the devs wanted to make redfall.
I don't know if he talked about it more afterwards but I feel he got the launch impressions wrong. People that said it was hot garbage when the game came out said so because it was buggy and missing many base game features 2.0 brought in (police system, vehicle combat, better cyberwear, etc.). That's why even the base game is now much better because they updated the missing features people wanted. As for the story it was always the opposite, that was arguably the best thing, with music and visuals following right after.
It's just really sad this couldn't be the cyberpunk 1.0, I feel like this game would be in a much different state (at least with public perception).
It's a very good game, especially the story.
Cyberpunk is probably one of my favorite games of the decade so far, I have played it like 150 hours and now I'm playing the phantom liberty, I'm glad more people are giving it a chance after the 2.0 update, and Asmon's commentary and stream on it will definitely bring more people to it! I'm also glad the great effort from CD Projekt Red didn't go to waste and they ended up fixing it (but it wasn't a situation like Fallout 76 in which it felt too late when the game was. polished), the great story and characters would make the game memorable regardless of the bugs...
To be fair to 76 (And that's hard to do) they at least didn't charge 30 bucks for a DLC before making sure the game was up to par. The game does have microtransactions but it's a live service game. They released DLC sized content without asking for a cent. More content than Phantom Liberty and no charges for it.
The game that wins the race is No mans's sky, with several of Phantom Liberty sized updates and never asking for a cent more than the box price.
We all know what hes talking about when he mentions "bad game" and "turd" ... Starfield *cough*
@@SolidGrimholy copium
It was good on release. Only had bugs but I didn’t had almost any on pc
I've just bought this game, it's very enjoyable
I enjoyed cyber punk day 1 on the ps5 better then star field on my series x day 1,like then both tho.
