@@Lambda_111RU-vid did it. It's common practice for them, they like put ads on demonetized/non profit videos so when content creator is not profiting from it, YT is still getting money and then content creator gets blamed for it even if this is not CC fault. I've seen the same pattern many times.
Sometimes you have these moments in gaming that no other medium can reproduce. The overall tension of this mission, the difficult decision to make, the combat right after, underlined with this music... just magic.
Feels more like you vs the world in the Reed route because you have to fight Hansen and his Barghest all by yourself without So Mi, Reed, or Alex to back you up.
@A1steaksauceHeinzKetchup she manipulated the hell out of you during the entire DLC tho🤣 not only that, she made me play Alien Isolation Cyberpunk edition, that alone is irredeemable
@@Roffawarrior Reed and Myers manipulate you constantly too. Reed never outright lies to V but that's only because he's lying to himself constantly, whereas Myers lies and equivocates as much as she speaks. Song's is more obvious manipulation because she's the only one to ever fess up to it in the end.
@@JB-xl2jc no doubt, my point was that caring for So Mi is a result of the constant manipulation actually working and that's not a good thing if you ask me. That's why I only mentioned her in my response to that specific comment
@@Roffawarrior That's fair, yeah everyone is carefully manipulating you throughout the entire DLC so pretty much none of the feelings we have for the characters can be all that genuine, since we only got to know their masks. At least until the train ride with Song, there at least she takes the mask off.
P.T. Adamczyk's sense and instinct for writing epic and forlorn melodies is incredible. He really killed the entire ost between this and the base game. really awesome composer that added hugely to the game's vibe and atmosphere.
straight up, all the patches/samples he compiled for the entire soundtrack are so fucking good. How there's themes for most of the main characters/missions, how they are reused/combined thru the entire game depending on the scenario...actually perfect. It's nuts he did 2077 and the Witcher 3's scoring, obviously he had help but damn shit's insanely impressive
Throughout the game's optional Cyberpsycho missions with Regina, I had never fully grasped how dangerous a crazed netrunner could actually be until this point. Walking through the flaming, digitally distorted ruins of the once-bustling stadium marketplace, every square inch lined with the charred Blackwall-infused bodies of both unsuspecting BARGHEST soldiers and innocent civilians just going about their daily lives unaware of the approaching one-person horror that laid waste to all in their path on a quest for survival Mechs and drones driven into crazed wild animals tearing apart everything and everyone in their way while every monitor and screen had become warped and echoed with the screams of the damned from a plane of cyberspace our human minds couldnt even fathom without melting our synapses into mush. Despite the high-octane battle with Hansen, the sitiation around it was genuinely haunting.
@@anonyouma395 similar here, ive been doing a gunslinger build for my first playthrough of the game but the alluring cursedness of blackwalling someone with the canto(fuck you for locking the Erebus behind 20 tech CDPR >:[ ) has made me become a Netrunner/Gunslinger hybrid
I love how Ghost in the Shell inspired this DLC was, this sound track is hardcore reminiscent of the first movie and the tank fight was a straight rip from the end scene. Loved it.
I loooooved the first spider tank thing encounter when the minigun on it's head melted the soldiers on upper level, making that BRRRRRRRRRRT sound. This game truly made a fantastic cum back.
People who haven't played Phantom Liberty won't even be able to imagine the sheer insanity and intensity of the moment, one of the most intense and emotional ones in gaming history. When you hear this music start playing... you know SHIT'S GOING DOWN
The greatest part about this whole DLC is the fact that it makes the Blackwall actually feel legit terrifying. Like an Eldritch horror, unknowable and driving even the strongest willed to be gibbering madmen
What I wanna know is, Hwat would happen if Cthulu was gazed upon by a really dumb guy who was so stupid, he couldn't comprehend what he was looking at and therefore, couldn't become mad
I love this music because it shows the empire of Hansen crumble before his army. If you've read Heart of Darkness or seen Apocalypse Now, you know how much he's insipired by Colonel Kurtz. His absolute control over everything in Dogtown and his prized possession gone in an instant by a lowly merc. He led a savage life and dies savagely, out of nowhere. Regardless of whether you let Alex kill him or do the deed yourself, it's a masterpiece of a song that matches the mood.
@@dank_K_knightcheck out The Brave Shall Live Forever by CVNSUMED for Bulgarian techno vocals! It’s really popular for EE vocals to be sampled in electronic
Hansen’s eyes were the giveaway for me that he was a reference to the Witcher Letho - who used a set of dual daggers with a similar design to Hansen’s knife. Their backstories are also similar as each are rogues to their profession.
@@daybreak667 yup! In fact when you enter the cynosure facility, Johnny even says "into the heart of darkness", a reference to the title of the book apocalypse now was based on In addition, Kurt hansen was part of an invading force that went rogue and started controlling the natives, much like Kurtz. Though you probably now this, I'm just explaining for people who don't get the reference
Played a Reflex Katana, Knife and Sandevistan build for PL and when this kicked in, I didn't even use the Sandy because it felt like the combat music was compelling me to kill as fast as possible. What an amazing soundtrack to an incredible expansion. I love Cyberpunk 2077 so much.
This song is up there with Sword of Destiny (and moment in Witcher 3 when it actually plays as a boss theme) It absolutely takes you for a spin in a dance of bladed death.
that's why you should use berserk instead, the crit and speed just compliments blades. The adrenaline hit you get from slicing everyone up so fast is insane.
Same here! I was basically activating my Sandy just as a quick slow mo to deflect some bullets and right out of the Sandy, I felt like a cyber ninja who just unleashed an AI god and is fighting for dear life!
Fighting through the stadium with Song and just going absolutely cyberpsycho with my implants and loadout while hearing this track really just tied the whole cyberpunk aesthetic together with a nice bow on top. Absolutely superb. This track fuckin NAILED the chaos of this mission. Shit feels like it's all gone to Hell and you gotta fight your way out of it.
That music pummed me up during Song escape. Feels like desperate push towards freeing themself. First stadium full of Hansen men, then combat section of space port full of NUS elite troops. Doesn't feel like clearing whole area, but just pushing forward.
Love how this song can be interpreted in two ways. Song and V making it out with this song adding the urgency of their escape. Or unleashing a demon unto Dogtown if you betray Songbird.
It’s times like this when you side with Song Bird and this track kicks in, that regardless if you’ve spect yourself to be a 100% ninja build with nearly absolute detection mitigation and silent weapons, there’s something primal in these beats that overwhelms all other sense of logic and self preservation and makes you desire to pick up the nearest HMG, and turn Bargheist troops into red confetti through that whole stretch of the Stadium. Never releasing the trigger until you overheat or run out of ammo, then you’re just impulsed to grab the nearest, biggest, loudest gun you can and remind everyone in your way what acute lead poisoning feels like.
You haven't lived until you do this mission with a throwing knives-Sandevistan-Kerenzikov build. This banger playing while escaping with So Mi and throwing head shots with a knife against soldiers with military grade weapons the whole way down made V feel like the most terrifying human ever to have existed. Literally made a separate save just so I can practice perfecting that run because I was having that much fun.
Love listening to this kind of music while working, it creates energy in me out of nowhere. But this one also made me want to play PL from the start 5th time right now
@@MrCreativent no, not really, but such comparison is to be expected from people not knowing the OST's composer. Look up Seven: The Days Long Gone, soundtrack composed by The Witcher 3's OST writers, similar here. Inspiration with what was delivered for TW3 is more than distinct. NieR has nothing to do with it.
the franticness I felt after betraying songbird and feeling the world falling apart was just so perfect then the yells coming in when I saw Hansen really cemented this and his words in my mind "Close is how the dead measure victory!"
@@Holmelander like bad or classy and also I didn't like the story for demon slayer it was just too.......wacky for what happened to him and like I get he's a good guy and all but demons killed your family get mad at all of them cause either way you're releasing them maybe throw in a few sad moments of us understanding that not all demons were born bad and bam it would've been so good as a serious anime hell maybe it could've been attack on Titan titan 2 with how they were gritty yet funny sometimes. But how gruesome demon slayer started, it just isn't there story wise
@@Holmelander actually it sounds more like a dubstep version of Silver for Monsters of TW3, wich also would make sense since TW3 is the other masterpiece of CDPR...
I’m curious to see where the lore of this franchise will go from here. Like with all the different choices, what will be the canonical ending and story path for what’s to come in a sequel ? I’ve had way too much fun with this game ever since its initial launch and I really look forward to whatever is next for this series.
My first playthrough of pl and this popped on using apogee sandi and scalpel very hard was soo much fun but the other mission with the horror element made me shit bricks more times than I like to say However fast you think that thing can run it can go 10x faster 0__o
When i got up to go after songbird i didnt pick the guns they gave me i sliced my way with mantis blades with this song without even stleath i sliced everyone instantly 😂 this song is fire
send Songbird to the moon, then storm Arasaka alone and ending in cosmos doing the contract for blue-eyed guy. So you'll probably end up meeting Songbird at the moon eventually, being like: hello, didn't expect to see me ever again? Surprce =)
