Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty - Before You Buy 

To be honest the saddest part for me is when you say in the last 3 years. Because it makes me realize how little I remember from the last 3 years

I'm currently replaying it for the first time since they released the second update and it honestly feels like a different game to me, its now everything I was hoping it to be

I love how he gives you some straighttt up gameplay and his first impressions.

I've been playing this game since it launched on PS4, dealt with all the rough times, then I finally upgraded to the PS5 version. It's come a long way. The 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty just top it off for me. I get so immersed in this game, absolutely love it.

The visual design of this game never cease to impress me and now looking crispier than ever. I'm seeing myself getting obsessed with it all over again.

It's devastating to know that this will be their only expansion. This expansion has been awesome. Gigs are pretty varied with consequences you can feel. The just poured a lot in this one. Respect to CD Projekt Red for seeing this through.

Been playing all morning. Started a new playthrough a couples weeks ago to lead up to the dlc release. Loving it so far! Story is amazing and gripping in Dogtown

I preordered the game and have played since the day it launched. I never had nearly the same negative experience as seemingly everyone else around me. There were a few glitches here and there but I never found it to be particularly bad. I know this was not the experience of most, but it was mine. Anyways, I’ve been playing on and off since then and it’s been probably my favourite game in that time. This expansion has only made things considerably better and I am so happy!

I haven't bought the DLC, but the 2.0 update has made this game way more fun for me. The new movement options have taken the game to a totally different level. You can jump cancel dashes and conserve your momentum by bunny hopping, it makes the game super quick and crazy. I feel like a real cyberpsycho as I'm jumping around at 100mph with my katana, sometimes slowing time mid-air to rain bullets on my enemies, tons of fun!

For those who don't know. CDR is working on the sequel of this game on a whole new engine. They made a whole new studio in Boston for it. They've confirmed this themselves

Building up V from scratch on my 4th/5th full run of the game. I have been in love with the game despite the bugs from day 1. Played on a ps4 slim my first playthrough, now on ps5. Between my first to now, I have not been disappointed. Seeing all the updates and improvements has me hopeful for the future of this game, and I look forward to how this plays out. I only am past getting Johnny and am clearing the side quests first before any mains. Level 33 at the moment. Love the new trees and cybernetics systems!

Just finished Phantom Liberty and really enjoyed it. The gigs, side missions, and the story really had me just IN IT. The performances for this DLC are splendid and with all the new changes, gear, cyberware: I am Chrome'd Up Beast! Really great to own if you have the game already, thanks for the great vid y'all!

I'm starting Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time tomorrow and I'm so excited! I wanted to wait for the 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty to be released before I even got the game. I remember being so excited for this game and being disappointed when it was released but I'm glad that they didn't just give up on the game and kept on improving it!

I love the cyberpunk world. I finished the game and all of the side quests and wished for more. And not just more quests, but more life. I want to see more shops opened, more npc types, make the world as big as it is with the level of detail it deserves. I wish they continued to make more content for this game as I believe despite its rough start, could be one of those games you play for years like a GTA5. I’m glad to hear they are making a sequel. I’m not sure why they need a sequel, since the cyberpunk world they’ve already created is awesome, but I’m just happy to hear they aren’t dumping this IP all together. I hope they take everything they’ve learned from CP2077 and make it better in every way this wild sci fi expects.

I just finished my first run of PL, Saw the first two endings i could get. 20 hours, still have some stuff to do in Dogtown. I loved it. Been playing since launch and these years, this wait, was totally worth it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Plays like it always should have! Definitely enough to revisit or explore this beautiful world for the first time! And Idris Elba is a nice inclusion and definitely adds that star power that plays along nicely with Keanu Reeves

Currently replaying the main game since the update and I'm genuinely enjoying it. I was a bit salty that my 100+ hour character wasn't as OP as it was before the update but the added challenge is actually refreshing.

I’m actually really excited to jump back into this. I did a full play through about two years ago but playing Starfield has me yearning for another sci fi FPS rpg experience

I picked it up on sale a year ago, and I completed the storyline. It’s such a good game now!

I played it at launch and got back into it recently, and have played it on the hardest difficulty both times and I am happy that they added more struggles to overcome, like having the game progress with you instead of saving up for an expensive piece of cyberwhere and blowing through the game. I would love to see an option to experience cyberpyphosis, like the more you go over the limit the more likely you will just randomly die. I also like how you actually want to buy more of the cars, originally I just got Quest Line cars and called it good, but with the El Capitan missions you really want, AND CAN collect all of the cars

They really knocked update 2.0 out of the park. The game is in a great state now and it’s beautiful. Everyone should try it if they haven’t now. I got my copy for $12 brand new!

When I finally got my hands on the PS5 a few months back, I jumped right into Cyberpunk. Absolutely amazing game, and now with the 2.0 update, I'm sure it takes it that much further. If only it released in this state 3 years ago.... they would have gotten so many awards!!

I really loved this game, 3 months after launch on ps5. One of the more pleasant surprises I have had in gaming in a while. It has a lot of classic RPG pitfalls but a lot of classic RPG upside too.

Cyberpunk 2077 has been my most installed/reinstalled game, basically every time a major update came out I would hop back in. I even bought it on Steam and got a month of GeForceNow to try out the RT overdrive mode. But I never got sucked all the way back in enough to do a full replay. I think now is the right time to revisit.

Nice to see new games like Cyberpunk coming out without any problems this year.

It really should have more games with cyberpunk thematic. That’s why I really like this game (despite all of the bugs) because it is one of the few games about this genre

Dogtown feels huge. It is so tight, so turned in on itself and stacked on top of itself that I don't know if I will ever fully grasp or explore the layout. The whole thing is so multileveled, from sewers and usually 2 or 3 levels above the street. It feels like if half of the rest of night city was condensed down into a single district with content over content and under content rather than just content "islands" scattered around the map like some of the other districts are.

Haven't played it yet, but pretty stoked to try it out now that 2.0 is out. Looks like they've made substantial improvements since launch!

I can not wait! I loved it when it came out I have 146 hours in the game, I had almost no issues outside of two crashes and some clipping in the first two hours or so of the game, but still the issues other people were not ok by any means, I hope with everything now its even better, going to start a new game and go at it again.

Great review as always. Love your sincerity and care for non -spoilers. You really are the #1 outlet for deciding on a game, at least for me.

I was level 21 on my first playthrough that i didn't finish. Coming back 3 years later and WOW! I forgot how action packed night city is. 2.0 and the other uodates throughout the years finally brought CDPR idea of Cyberpunk to Life.

I played from launch, I had fun and I came back every now and again over time, I'm definitely going to start a new play through for this, great video thank you

I started playing when 1.2 came out, on PC, and I loved it ever since. Never fell off of it, and I never had any major/mild issues. A few really small glitches but nothing that pulls me off it. I have about 380 hours in with 5 play-throughs, but I have put some time into Starfield before I put another 60 into this lol

I played through earlier this year before 2.0, and even then it was a lot of fun. A very easy game to get fully obsessed with, especially if you like to collect everything. Really excited to see how the new perk trees map out and get more time with good old Johnny Silverhand. Only problem is that I went for 100% trophies and am kinda burned out on it right now, will give the DLC a play in a few months probably

I played one mission in 2022 and put it down, I will re-engage this fall. Glad to hear the 2.0 and PL positive updates!

I've been with Cyberpunk since Patch 1.5, which was when I upgraded my PC; it was the first game I bought after that. I haven't yet played Phantom Liberty, but I've been blown away by the 2.0 upgrade. Everything is just so much smoother, and more logically designed…. I say that as somebody who has loved the game since I initially played it. Also, I had been concerned when the new system requirements were announced… but, not only is the game even more beautiful, but it runs even better than it did before…and I never had any previous issues, to be clear, (certain other devs should take note).

Been playing for the first time since the 2.0 update launched - 20 hrs in and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to wait so far - even with the occasional visual glitch

Stuck with this game since launch. Only 2 true playthroughs but man i just fell in love with the world. Excited to see the new clothes in the expansion!

Love the new setting, interacting with Keanu again and just more story to play in Cyberpunk. I will say though there are things about 2.0 that I’m not 100% on board with though. I had some great mods on my clothing and weapons and now there gone and the guns just feel different (not good or bad different, just different). I crafted a lot so, that’s a huge change for me. I’m not sure if I’m wrong on this or my brain is getting confused with Baldur’s gate 3 and Armored Core 6, but wasn’t the crouch button in Cyberpunk a different button?

I still haven’t gotten over the physical world of this game. It’s unbelievable and I’m probably permanently obsessed with its aesthetics

I am very happy with where this game is at. I initially bought it on PS4 and gave up not too far in. I have been revisiting this after every major update and it still didn't hit. Finally, after 2.0 and on a PS5 I am very happy. I have had no performance issues, no bugs, no noticeable texture pop ins. I am actually going to get phantom Liberty because I want more!

Update 2.0 & Phantom Liberty got me hooked on Cyberpunk 2077 more than ever. Made me want to just completely restart and enjoy the world from scratch! What a comeback story.

Loved this game from the start and as Jake said it's progressively gotten better since it's release. I'm playing through a third time now and can't wait to get into the DLC. I have one question though. What the hell is that perk that has the enemies exploding because I've never seen that but it looks awesome.

I just love how they added edge runners to the lore and how you can see the same bd David seen in the opening scene of edgerunners and how falco is somewhere in the game. I hope they add lucy and we can go do a mission with her or at least bring her David’s jacket cause if anyone deserves it, it’s her

I started a new save yesterday in preparation for the dlc. I have not touched the game since the beginning of 2021. With the 2.0, it feels like a lot better of a game. Can't wait to explore the dlc.

After never touching a purchase for 2077 noting its terrible launch, Edgerunners was what brought me to make that leap of faith, and I actually loved my time with the game prior to 2.0. However, there were a lot of glaring issues still that stopped me from wanting to progress further. Now, that I've waited long enough, I'm so excited to dive back in, especially with the Phantom Liberty DLC. Plus, there's just something so good seeing the game embrace the combat improvements that make the game feel even more like an anime than it used to. If any of y'all haven't seen Edgerunners, you should. One of the best pieces of art I've ever spent time on in a long while.

I've always been obsessed with the cyberpunk genre in general not just this game, this is going to be my 4th playthrough from scratch and I am pumped!

Now finished my second play through as a corpo with all the new changes and dlc. Can definitely say that it is amazingly well changed with the new perks and cyberware. Everything the netflix show made me want to do, I can just about do it now. Loved this game for the story before, love it for the gameplay now.

Its so good now. Just started a new playthrough, and loving it more now than the first time. Really looking forward to Phantom Liberty

Already loved the game before 2.0 but now i love it even more, been enjoying the hell out of my new playthrough!

I played it a month after launch on an Xbox One X and had a good time. Was prepared for the hurdles if face after watching a before you buy for it. I’m excited to get back into it.

As someone fortunate enough to have a 4090 and an I9 PC....Cyberpunk with path tracing and everything cranked to ultra, 180 FPS is the second most immersive game I have ever played, behind only RDR2, but is the single most visually stunning game I have ever seen...and my favorite game all time, which is CRAZY to me. Sometimes Ill unequip my weapons, press G to slowly walk around, and just fucking GAWK. I understand the launch was unacceptable, but they delivered boys, it took some time, but it happened. If it launched at 2.0, it would have matched most of the hype. Its not the RPG we were hyping it up to be, but its like a Fallout game meets the best far cry game youve ever played. 700 Hours In, will be playing this game on and off until Orion.

I was very impressed by the quality of the audio in this new update., it sounds very impressive and realistic.

Great video as always, I have let Starfield cool a bit and started a new play through over the weekend of Cyberpunk.First time playing it on ps5, the dual sense triggers , game changer at least for me. The new 2.0 update really is fun, cops are hard to loose, perks are more substantial, overal great update. I personally can't wait for the DLC, looks great. As you can tell highly positive about this game, have liked it from the start, initially played it on the xbox series myself, one of my faves. :)

After the update, in combination with the incredible mod community, this is one of my favorite RPG's to play. Tried it at launch and gave up pretty quick. Honestly what got me back was the Edge Runners series. After that I started looking into it again and saw they had launched a huge update. Been loving it ever sense. Just kinda sad it'll be a few years before we get another Cyberpunk game, but I'm sure I'll be replaying 2.0 and Phantom Liberty for a looong time. So excited!

I finished the game shortly after launch, waited a few months, using that save seems daunting in terms of allocation of skills and perks. Any thoughts on how it feels to use an old save or to jump to or to restart?

The detailed world building and how every corner of every street feels different from every other and just littered with details, it’s incredibly impressive. PS5 graphics looks amazing too

I was waiting for the BYB because you're always honest with the reviews. The 2.0 update has been such a nice change to the game. I still think it lacks a certain "lived in" feeling and i'd love more casinos and just overall interactive points but the combat is a lot better now.

Love your content, thx! :) I have played cp77 on ps4 base when it came out ... And am now about to get a ps5 and the dlc and looking very much forward to a fresh start! :)

I played Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time on PS5 about a year ago and it was then, one of the best and most immersive games I've played in years! I'm really looking forward to starting a new character, making different choices, and exploring the expansion.

I've been playing since Day 1. I built my rig for the game and it eventually would release on my birthday weekend. I beat the game with each of the three paths. I'll play as another Nomad and discover Phantom Liberty through the story. I hope everyone who plays has fun!

It’s a brand new game I can’t lie I used to talk bad about this game until I played it last month and Wow I didn’t realize I missed a masterpiece, now with 2.0 it’s even better I can’t stop replaying this beautiful game can’t wait for Liberty for my 3rd replay

i played cyberpunk 2077 from launch and i 100% all the quests side missions and endings, i really loved it and i would have gone back to the game even if there werent significant changes. i saw room for improvement but i really didnt experience too many bugs or technical problems. i will definitely pick up this DLC and get start a new character, i really loved this game despite all its flaws.

I love the expansion and update, I am hoping they bring us more amazing content as this is incredible, I havent put it down since I got it on preorder

I love Cyberpunk and I love the new update. My only problem with the game is the roads feel empty and then when you're driving in the desert and see all the phantom cars a few hundred meters that aren't really there then just casually disappears is such a strange thing

I really like a lot of the changes involving the cyberwear and skill trees. Here's hoping the sequel in UE5 will look amazing and take everything a step farther, maybe incorporate more of the tabletop elements and things we didn't see in this game.

Even at launch through all the tposing and raining cars, i saw a gem of a game. Im happy it has more content added to it. Is it worth the full amount though for what you get or should one perhaps wait for a holiday sale?

Great video Jake; I played Cyberpunk basically right after launch on PC and must've had a unicorn experience because I experienced virtually no bugs and had a really enjoyable time with it. I stopped playing it to just make room for older games in my Steam account, however, with this 2.0 revamp and Phantom Liberty I might have to reinstall it and start fresh.

This game is my favourite game of all time. Also Stella in the game is played by The Sphere Hunter in Phantom Liberty! Shes also Sasha's big sister from the Let you down Music Video from edgerunners. Also theres more edgerunners easter eggs in 2.0 in general! The perks has lil icons of the characters and go to the place where theres grave markers for a surprise

I love this game so so much. I’ve stuck with it since a few months after it initially released. Definitely one of my all time favs! Never Fade Away!🤘❤️

I started my 1st playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 about a year after launch, so I enjoyed it from the jump. I'm pretty stoked about Phantom Liberty.

Watched carefully from the sidelines over the years and just now jumping in--excited!

I have been playing this game since day one, of course the launch was very bumpy but this game turned out to be one of my favorite games for sure. I played through the campaign various times so I am definitely diving right in on this expansion.

Played 2077 right from day one, and up until 2 months later, racking up 214 hrs and a 100% completion. Love the game, love the world, love the quests. There were some minor glitches, but nothing really game-breaking. Heck, I only crashed like 6 or 7 times for the whole duration of playing. Stoked to play the DLC, preordered it a week ago.

Just finished my first plat through. Enjoyed it very much. Watched your video to decide if I wanted to get the dlc. You have confirmed I am getting it. 🙏 thank you

The ending credits song is as emotional as “I really want to stay at your house” from Edge Runners

Cyberpunk 2077 is my favorite game of all time! This will be my 4th play through. Im super excited for the DLC! Ive been playing since launch. This game did a 180 in a amazing way! 🖖🏼👽

I haven't played the game since launch, so I'm very interested in how it runs now. I was fortunate enough to buy run into any game-breaking bugs, but it was still a bit of a janky experience. Definitely looking forward to seeing what's changed since I last played

Stayed loyal to the game when it came out the changes you can definitely see games more crisp and smoother then it was before like no sudden frame drops or parts of city loading in. Game is great cant wait to try the dlc

I love how these videos pop up in my feed after I buy whatever the video is talking about. I just bought this dlc an hour ago.

I loved this game and was one of the freaks that played it day one on Stadia... it worked well there. After losing my original finished Stadia save I started a PS5 replay after the next gen launch and another now on 2.0. I am loving all the improvements. It feels like a totally new game.

I guess I feel grateful and lucky to have enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077 since day one. And now it’s even better. Like yourselves, I kept returning to it often.

I'm just getting into Shadowrun and tabletop games so this update came at the right time. I just started a new playthrough as it's my first time playing.

I bought a copy on sale a little while ago but it got lost in the backlog. Now when I start playing it, the 2.0 base game and Phantom Liberty will be my first experience.

Honestly the biggest thing I get from cyberpunk is seeing the cool direction cd project red is going with games. I like the future setting and design they have in cyberpunk, I can't wait to see what they have planned in the future as far as fresh new games go.

Still sad there’s no 3rd person but I’m cautiously excited for phantom liberty

It’s great that it’s awesome after the update and everything, I’ve been thinking about playing this but it does prove my point that I make IRL that you just wait to play games nowadays since they always come out half finished day one, especially big open world games like this.

held off for this exact moment cant wait to dive into this once i finish the quarry

I played it during the next gen ps5 update and I never faced any glitches. It was amazing.

I love the game but I do feel like as great as the update is and how far it's come since launch, the game we saw in those E3 trailers still doesn't exist and I wish we got that game

Gave this video a rewatch with Mr Matty’s to psych myself up before going back in. I’m going to wait for Infinite Wealth I didn’t play the Yakuza game before it. Provides me with a well rounded expectation.

I remember playing this when it first came out so many missing textures, but now it's crisp

I been playing for about 900hrs, and it feels like a new experience. They put a lot of love into the update and can't wait until Phantom Liberty comes out.

Something that I noticed right after the 2.0 update is how good the game looks, I’ve got an RTX 3050 and the game looked good but not strikingly good, update rolls around, I get to play with some settings and then boom. Game looks like another reality, it’s actually a testament to how good our technology is with this game being probably the best looking game to have ever been released.

held off for years after it's release then finally bought it on sale for less than $10 in 2022 if I remember correctly. I've been loving this No Man's Sky like approach they've taken to polish it up. A real solid game if you're into dystopian scifi futuristic settings.

i preordered cyberpunk for ps4 back in 2020 and i played through the whole game, and honestly i loved it. i had almost no graphical issues on a ps4 slim, only had a few bugs here and there. some bugs stopped me from playing a questline, but honestly its not any more then a bethesda game at launch. i never got why people were so furious about it. i remember players bugging cd projekt red to release the game even if it wasnt finished and then getting mad that they didnt get a finished game. but for me it played great and im excited to play it again on a newer console with all these updates

Cyberpunk 2077 is looking really cool nowadays, and the developers should be commended for their efforts, but it's a really good example of why these days you might not want to buy games immediately on launch.

Super excited for this dlc....

Definitely gana try it now from new save. Think I got about halfway through the game originally. Looks pretty decent now

Starting new playthrough to learn the new system!!! Keep up the great vids!!!!
