Honestly the variety that Cyberpunk music is really good. A mix of soft, some R&B a few with heavy metal, some with electronic, and quite a number that hit you hard. Heck after I saw Edgerunners I can't listen to "I wanna stay at your house" the same anymore.
Even PonPon Shit, ironically I was annoyed with the song at first…but it really caught on with me and I tend to fight/drive more intense with it. XD
As an aside, you might've heard about CD red without realizing it. They were the people behind The Witcher. So you might not have known the studio by name, you might've known their works.
The fun thing about the Phantom Liberty ending video is that it basically summarizes the entire expansion plot. From the characters you meet to conflicts they have (either with you or with each other). But if you don't know then it just goes above your head really.
I played Cyberpunk at launch, and got all the way to the end. It was a great story and somewhat fun gameplay, but very flawed. I kinda wish I had waited though because it looks so much better now, but I don't feel like I have the time to go all the way back through it again. Even though I want to, just to see how much better it is.
the songs in this game just hit so differently then most video game musical scores do. its like each song can tell a story about something in the game. I've played a lot of games with amazing sound tracks but Cyberpunk 2077 has set the bar so high. I can hear a couple notes from any song from the game and immediately have a memory of something in the game come to mind. and the song you are listening to at the beginning of the video is end credits song for the DLC Phantom Liberty.
The guitar cover for PonPon shit is actually pretty good
You could summarize them getting a bunch of real artists together and asking them what type of music would you make if you were to live in the cyberpunk 2077 world/night city.
Or how would music evolve in the future.
Phantom liberty would make a great Bond theme.
You're confused because you're listening to music with different purposes in the game. Ponpon Shit sits squarely in the worldbuilding arena as it reflects the a piece of the culture of the world you're playing in. If the music seems like its all from different parts of the world, that's because the world you're playing in is very much that.
Phantom Liberty is in the thematic storytelling area evoking emotions the player feels going though the narrative. And here is where music direction shines imo.
There is a song in this game, which then gets re-used in the Cyberpunk animated series. And every time I come back to this game and hear that song again….haunting.
The best part is this song was just one of those worldbuilding, atmosphere songs. Pretty certainly, but nothing too special. But the animated series uses it in a narrative way that hits like bricks.
This particular cyclical synergy is very special. I love it.
As to the questions about the game itself.
The easiest discription would be.
Imagin GTA in the nearish future with a havy dose of dystopia mixed in, you do have some RPG elements for your charackter development/playstyle.
Cyberpunk2077 as the name implies is a Cyberpunk setting and Cyberpunk as a genres main themes are mostly the conflict of individuality vs technological unification in a distopian (often corporal) society and often depict a bleak existence for the Main Charackter and Humanit, at large
I played this game on release and it was almost unplayable with all the crashes and bugs. I stopped playing about 1/3rd into the game. I did a replay after Phantom Liberty and holy shit did they this game. Not only was it nearly bug free, but they reworked a lot of the mechanics on the game such as skill trees and how gear worked. This game is easily a 9/10 in its current form.
PS: You should try listening to some on the black metal that's in this game. There's a radio station exclusive to metal
Two songs from completely different genres causing dissonance when listened to back to back, yup that's cyberpunk 2077 for you.
If you see this, you should check out Pain by Le Destroy also from cyberpunk
I 100% cyberpunk 2077 and it made me sad because I did all I could do in the game when I wanted to continue living in the city to see more stories and where the other characters end up. It's such a great game and glad it got its positive rebound from its original release.
When Cyberpunk first came out the ost felt like it was deliberately supposed to sound a bit foreign and different and it helped create the vibe that you're in a different era, I think PonPon is a good example of that. Also I will say I never once used fast travel in Cyberpunk because I always liked driving around and listening to the radio, a lot of the music fits the atmosphere of the city very well.
1300+ hours in cyberpunk, the game is great the dlc was insane and the soundtrack was ALWAYS banging. Have you heard of the tv show "The Witcher" – thats another game from cd projeck red. single player role playing first person game (3rd person driving)
Very interesting is the right way to describe it. Not going to spoil anything, but the main story deals with some very deep and thought provoking topics – some of which are topics that many humans eventually have to face.
Music might seem all over the place, because they really tried to place the player in what might be another version of earth – and having their own version of radio tunes that the player will hear throughout the world, while also having their own set of music that carries the main story elements.
Ponpon shit is one of those tracks that is different from the others but it doesn't sound out of place at all in the game.
Ponpon Shit is a very weird experience that your brain wants to hate because it sounds off, like a perverted japanese song but once you realize it fits perfectly into the the trashy part-asian-part-american influenced Cyberpunk universe it turns into a weird bop that makes you smile whenever it starts playing on the radio.
me: mom can we have james bond
mom: no we have james bond at home
james bond at home
Riding a bike at full speed in the street of Nightcity while listening Ponpon shit is the real Cyberpunk experience
please do one for Delicate Weapon! It's my favorite song in the game for many reasons that I can't tell you without spoiling (most of them are personal though)
I played Cyberpunk at launch and while there was definitely some jank I made it through the story OK. I think the most notable one was when I summoned my car and it drove through a wreck on the road and promptly exploded next to me. Other than that it was T-posing and a lot of random crashes. I used to play the tabletop RPG a lot in the 90s / early 2000s so I was also somewhat inclined to give the game the benefit of the doubt just for the experience of hanging out in the city where I had spent so much imaginary time. Arguably the biggest disappointment for me was that the planned multiplayer was canned to free up resources for overhauling the game; several of my old tabletop group and I had been planning to play it together.
PonPon shit, the song that hit when you're roaming the roads of Night city at 100mph.
I recommend the tracks Force Projection or Gate K9 from Phantom Liberty next! 👍
I preordered this game (on PC) did not experience almost any bugs. Nothing game breaking. And I was disappointed with only one thing – this game main story line is too short. After playing Witcher games – especially number 3 this felt so short. Did the game improved from the product we got from the start – YES – big time. Did it changed my positive expierance – NO. But I am a old gamer and few bugs here and there do not bother me. Every game has bugs. But sure – consoles players were not happy at all. Understandable because old consoles do not possess minimum required hardware to run this game. And 99% negativity came from there. All of those videos that you can still find on Youtube were showing how bad this game looked on consoles. For me it was never the case. And after more and more patches and whole expansion this game is awesome even with some things that could still be improved. Some people say it is just a shooter with RPG elements. If someone wants to play like that – yeah sure. But it does have deeper meaning and it does make us think.
I mentioned Witcher games – they also have fantastic music that You could give it a go. I recommend it.. 🙂
CP2077 was a pre order purchase for me – the whole asthetic and world was what I had been craving to experience, for quite some time.
Release was a mess unfortunately, so much so I actually didn't play the game until at least 2 weeks after release, so that most of the worst bugs were dealt with. By patch 1.4 I was able to really enjoy my time with the game, where certain main story and side story experiences really stuck with me to this day – despite my old graphics card barely able to keep the framerates above 30 (without any Ray Tracing enabled).
Now, I have a new graphics card and a 40" OLED TV that can be my external monitor for 2K 60fps gaming with medium RT and FSR upscaling; along with a decent sound system hooked up to my TV via fibre optic, this combo means I have been able to truly appreciate the vision CDPR had for CP2077 since Phantom Liberty's release (v2.0 / 2.1). This is the experience Cyberpunk was meant for and meant to be – everything has been changed completely or significantly overhauled. They listened to fan feed back and even introduced Edgerunners easter eggs for the harcore fans.
Only No Man's Sky comes close to a similar story of apologising for years while doing everything they can to bring the game one step closer to their vision…
MOAR CYBERPUNK!!!
Cyberpunk base game is just very 'cyberpunk'. Near future dystopia, hyper capitalist. The story has a lot to do with future tech, violence and 'do you want to be remembered by going out in a blaze of glory?'. It's … good. It's super cyberpunk. Hyper capitalism also explains a lot of the music – it's imagining how our current music could evolve. PonPon shit in particular is very much kinda a parody on nonsensical JPOP stuff that's so much there to just make money.
Phantom Liberty DLC takes this setting and everything, which has so many different possibly stories to tell, and tells a spy thriller in this world. The song itself reflects this as well – for me, it kinda feels like a James Bond credit song. The DLC is also just super good. One of the best stories that I've played in gaming, with super hard choices to make and characters that are often conflicted, sympathetic but flawed. It also plays in an area that makes the dystopia even more dystopic, basically squatters, military control and rich people, no real laws, in one tiny area. And it's about liberty, it's about the US, about politics in a world that barely has normal politics anymore, mostly just hyper capitalist corporations.
