    Thank you so much choom for this thoughtful video. Much love! <3
  • @Artanis86
    It's heartwarming when you choose the Aldecaldos ending. I experienced this in version 1.0. So yes, cyberpunk 2077's magic has existed since the beginning.
  • @CinderCDL
    As someone who always held this franchise in high regard, even its less than ideal initial release in 2020, I will always appreciate your unconditional love and support for this game.
  • @my5head
    I love this game so goddamn much. I already considered it as one of my top 5 games, but it just continues to climb the more I think about it. It has a moment for every single emotion. Confronting the father/son braindance editors is just as rage inducing as the Aldecaldo campfire scene is serene. And finishing the game for the second time recently, I felt every scene just as powerfully as the first time I played.
  • @wesleypipes5673
    The gunplay in Cyberpunk is some of the most finely tuned action I've ever experienced in a video game. That's one thing that always kept me coming back.
  • @PalaDave99
    This game, along with Disco Elysium are filled with so much love for humanity, for life, all without it going into something annoyingly idealistic or absolutely hopeless. The fact that everyone you've met sends you a message at the end shows you just how the littlest things can make all the difference in this world where nobody owns anything but their chosen family
  • @maxherman11
    You hit every single point, I love Cyberpunk and seeing you be just as passionate over WHY means so much to me. Like you, this has been declared my favorite game of all time. The world it builds and the relationships and friends you make along your journey in this game is unmatched.
  • @dustinsonger851
    About to break 1000 hours in this game, played and loved every iteration from release date.... And I still press the walk button, never fast travel, and get invested in the characters and story... easily still the greatest game world and story I've ever played
  • @bethose9484
    Bravo on this - I too felt the exact same way playing through the game since day one (granted, on a fairly high end PC). This game has always made me actually, for lack of a better word, feeeeel more than another. CDPR has always been phenomenal at creating missions with little to no combat that wreak of dense, emotional storytelling and CP2077 took this to another level entirely. Phantom Liberty expanded on this even more while patch 2.0 was just the icing on the cake.
  • @zerechan
    Im glad someone made this video. "Cyberpunk is finally fixed" is the most frustrating, repeated commentary title of all time. The game has been a great one in its core from the start and for me atleast was completely beatable and enjoyable its FIRST week on PC. People seemed to ignore the endings and story by latching to the hate train due to its bugs and launch on last gen (which is fair) and only began to give the game a legit chance when the anime suceeded. Its just kinda annoying.
  • @Zayne285
    There's something about CDPR games that I just connect with like no other and that leaves me with a completely hollow feeling after I finish them. So glad to see the devs get the praise they deserve after Phantom Liberty.
  • @Brisingr_Phoenix
    Cyberpunk to me just makes me realize just how important it is to live in the moment as your most genuine self
  • @Goldy39
    Absolutely amazing choom, I vividly remember the first time going to youtube to see how much everyone else was loving this game... three days of near straight playing after launch middle of covid lockdown and being met with a barage of hate... telling my friends to play it as it's one of the most best experiences I've ever had in gaming and being shut down with citings from videos and articles of how broken the game was. This was a beautiful love letter to a beautiful game that I will return to as soon as I finish phantom liberty xD
  • Indeed, this game is the pinnacle of gaming for me. Cyberpunk 2077 is not yet another regular and forgettable story on the market of video games, but something more. It is that which brings joy every time it's booted up. It is that which lets us forget the troubles of our realities. It is that which many hold dear, describing it as the game that brought them out of darkness. Even if one does not share the same excitement and feelings as the aforementioned type of person, one cannot deny the game's potential to bring something meaningful into one's life. I truly loved playing Cyberpunk and still do. Not many companies have the ability to forge such impactful games. But to those that do, such as CD Projekt Red - not only with Cyberpunk 2077, but the Witcher Trilogy too - I salute them for their efforts and hope that they find it within themselves to never cease their aspiration of evolving.
  • "...and the World that they live in feels like it's own character, all to itself, one that will carry on with or without you." This is something sorely missing from modern AAA gaming and the most important quality I've come to expect from CDPR and their narrative driven worldbuilding as a Witcher fan. That's a massive accomplishment.
  • @Runco990
    Well, I could not have said it any better. This game will go down as a Legend in the end. The stories of the characters, falling in love with Judy, riding the tank to freedom with Panam to that amazing sound track... just an amazing game.
  • @JohnDoe-iv8qp
    Hey man, great video! You’re not the only one to whom Cyberpunk was love at first sight. Before playing that game I wasn’t familiar with Cyberpunk as such and this game really blew me away and helped me to discover music and literature about Cyberpunk. I’ve already completed it 4 times and it still amazes me to this very day. I think it’s my second best favorite game next to Red Dead Redemption 2
  • @OSUnification
    This game is full of passionate emotions. The best of the best and worst of the worst, what so many of us deal with daily, with a point that moving forward means so much. There's scenes that blow your mind, make you cry, and remember that art truly makes us feel. This game reminds us that in an unruly and dangerous world, there is life and love. You're losing everything to find something better. This game also shows us that looks can be deceiving, and we need to look deep into every eye, every mind, and every soul. Great work, choom!
  • @ghostpotato3463
    im the type of gamer who likes little details in the games, when I do missions I always get lost in exploring the scenery, I even look every npcs designs and dialogues. I won't deny I skip most of the missions dialogues but I always appreciate how game company's make this stories. It always amaze me that there are writers who can do that in games.
  • @hudsonllc1739
    damn game has brought a tear to my eye more times than id like to admit
