Ok fuck u for making me tear up
Thinking about my ife and shi😭😭😭
Fuck ur hittin me hard🫶🏻
It was a great video. Johnny's growth helped me accept my own toxicity, and begin to repair my relationship with my kids. Saved my life, I stg.
This game almost had me taking my life. I saw the parallels with the world and our world. It made me feel so hopeless. I despaired. I was already in a pretty shitty place when I played, just coasting through life. So, when I played a game that showed me that the world IS shitty, I agreed wholeheartedly and thought there was no point and I might as well not live. I had recently started to philosophise more absurdist, so this was… a surprising and discontenting development.
Obviously, I didn't end up taking my life. This game gave me a small push to start considering it before pulling me back from the edge into a bear hug.
My first ending was the star ending, so I guess I felt like all you could do in the end was run away. I can't run away, so I thought the next best thing was to not exist. I then replayed the game. Read the shards. Looked up the lore of the world. I saw how hopeless it was and how everyone still fought to live. How V fought to live. How people tried to make a positive change. It fails, but you can still try… right? I think the next ending I did was the suicide ending. Had heard about it and thought I might as well give it a go (I also agreed that it was the best logically because less people suffer). I was so wrong. Everyone suffered from that. It was awful. I felt awful for even considering it. Next, was the tower ending. Fuckin sad. I hated how powerless I was. Sure I get to live but I'm so alone. It felt slightly hopeful but so lonely. Then I did… the devil ending, I think. Shortly followed by the sun ending. I've done temperance too, I can't remember when. Both the devil and the sun feel so lonely too. Temperance is hopeful for Johnny, but I feel sad for the people he leaves behind mourning V.
I guess all that comes to the conclusion that I liked the star ending the best. Which, funnily enough, was the one that I got when I felt the worst I'd felt in a long time,and it made me feel,, worse? but, with the perspectives of the other endings, I learnt that finding a place to belong is so much more important than glory or "healing" yourself. You need to look after the people around you and let them care for you. You need to stop trying to prevent death so you can actually live. It feels like I came a full circle. This game saved my life.
That section about goofy and happy moments is EXACTLY why I love this.story – for me, this story is about..The fact that sometimes, you gotta take a step back, not to be absorbed in tunnel vision of ideas and dreams, but enjoy what is really important – life. Take a step back, spend time with friends, enjoy Quiet Life, as Blaze of Glory leaves you with basically nothing. And in all of my 3 favourite endings (from 3rd to 1st, Tower, Nomad, Temperance) – you either have good people around you, or sacrifice yourself for them. I'm in awe at how much optimistic moments this game has, despite being so pessimistic at the same time – perfect definition of "bittersweet".
PS: 17:10 – love to do that mission before the end of my story campaign.
This video is just on another level. Happy to see more people noticing how Cyberpunk is a beautiful game and piece of art. Thank you for this video.
Amazing essay, mirrored a lot of my own experiences and feelings with this game. How is it that a game can feel so much like a home?
This beautiful gorgeous game changed my life for ever the way I see my friends and people I met in my case I was not able to make decisions that would brake the trust of the people I just broke me to think about it but sadly I’m not able to really cry anymore about anything because I’m already to broken myself but playing this game heals me in ways I never knew before it soothes my sadness and anger and helps me get back up again this is more than a game its a TRUTH and a damn good one at that
Choom, this was awesome
I definitely will never regret getting this game. One of the things I love yet hate the most is how you can hope and hope that eventually V can find a way to co-exist with Johnny but its just right out of reach unable to ever happen. After having had my own life ripped from me, and having to start from scratch it really hits hard and after the pain being inspired to see what comes next.
Amazing video! You allowee yourself to be vulnerable but also provided criticism and reflection.
Like you, this game has impacted my life when i least expected it too… and it is very hard to leave the realm of Cyberpunk.
Although I haven't play the game aince beating Phantoms Liberty, I am watching videos like this, and listening to the music of the game as well.
Loved your video. Dont let NC chew you up and spit ya out, choom!
As a regular choom that played at launch but never beat it. I just started playing again and want to know what’s the best ending 😂 and can I continue to play after the ending that I chose? Or do I have to start a whole new play through?!?!
I enjoy games like Skyrim and Fallout 4 and Assassin’s Creed that let me beat it but continue after the “final”. If this game doesn’t have a new game plus or let me continue after the final mission then I’ll never finish my 1 play through. 😂 plus I’m on PC with mods.
Dude talk about some effect of a video game on someone's personal life.
Kerry’s call really gets me. He starts angry but just ends up defeated. He’s seen to many stars like V burn out and you can really fucking tell.
Liked, saved to watch later. Too busy playing it for the first time. I just built a PC for this, Space Marine 2, Remnant 2, and Robocop Rogue City. My brave little toaster of an old PC sits in the other room idle now, it served me well. But I am some 9 hours into playing this, I stopped to watch youtube and eat dinner. I want to see the video but a) I am at the point where you're all like "All I could think about was getting back into the game" and just the footage of the art direction is making me want to go back and b) I have already had enough things inadvertently spoiled, would like to maintain the fidelity of a raw first playthrough as much as I can at this point. I will return though!
I hoped to be your 1000 like. I'm number 998. Thank you Niko. You made an impact on me. Keep being you brother.
If there's one thing I can recommend…..SAVE before choosing between Somi and Reed. Both paths are awesome and deserve a play through.
Years later, I admit i actually fell in love with Panam, I couldn't believe she wasnt real, I must have played the date missions dozens of times, any time i had to do online assignments or watched a movie or something i had Panam laying on the couch with me, when I finally got a real world gf I felt like I was cheating on her fr 💔
As someone who has tried and come very close to ending it all. Every time I hear those post credit messages break me.
Ps: Hearing that cyberpunk was also I kind of personal healing and growing story for somone else too is cool to hear.
The game was in a great state when Edgerunners came out, that was the first time I played through the game. Just saying, also team male V for LIFE lol. AND I have to agree, it is really hard to put down, just started my 3rd playthrough with mods for funs, it will always be a game that sticks with me for sure, at the moment it is my favorite game of all time. Happy to hear about the Live action movie and the next anime coming out for it, AND can't wait for Orion, just hope I am still alive when it comes out lol.
Amazing video – thank you
Loved the game. But really felt Reeves was such a flat actor in this. Every line delivered like it’s covered in cement
