"Hard to decide which of your friends get to die, isn't it?"

I feel like when playing this game I treated it as a story game rather than an open world game so I appreciated it much more

Me waiting for the secret ending dialogue to trigger

Crazy how hard Jackie’s death changes the entire atmosphere of the game

It all started in a fuckin' landfill. - Johnny Silverhand

POV: You've spent 9 minutes and 35 seconds trying to figure out which ending you want to get

"SECURE YOUR SOUL - RELIC" that ad made me have flashbacks to the junkyard.

the hardest moment in game

“Time to party like it’s 2023.”

1:17 Due to this song's despondence and tempo, you can truly *feel* how exhausted V is at the end of this journey. The emotion-invoking music, painstakingly detailed environments, and fantastic writing made any bugs in this game wholly irrelevent to me.

the PAIN in each note, this game really hits you hard. actually amazing, but in a depressing way lmao

The suicide ending really tells you a lot why suicide is not an option. Because you can see in the end credits when all your friends hear about what you did they're all really sad. And suicide doesn't hurt you but mostly all your friends. You can even hear Misty saying "You didn't realise just how many friends you had."

The pain in every sound...

I'll never forget how awesome this game was, let the haters hate.

during this game, i feel like i was V. maybe it's the first time that i'm so immersed into a game

Cyberpunk 2077. A game where a dying man tries to chase greatness and fame before his time is up, before he is forgotten just like any other no name who shared the misfortune of being swallowed up by night city. What he doesn't realise, until it's too late, is that through the people he has met and friendships he has made, that his name won't just be forgotten. He chased what he already had to the point of death. RIP V ❤🙏🏾

The soundtrack of this game is so goddamn sad. So good

My favourite 2021 game. This game generally made me forget about the real world for a bit. The writing, characters, city, emotions. Truly spectacular. My street kid V just wanted to be a legend but found Panam and the Aldecados, realised life wasn’t better in night city and that family meant more. My corpo V though, alcoholic, womaniser. Relied on no one, and did the secret ending. It’s like Skye says ‘If you have to kill, kill, if you need to burn it to the ground, then let it burn’

"Just put it all to rest..."

Generally my favourite game

I assume everyone went and searched for Chopin Nocturne Op.55 No.1 after listening to this? If not, highly recommended!

attaboy, Kimi! Let's hope the composer knows that we're kinda hungry for the complete score of Cyberpunk 2077.

S E C U R E YOUR SOUL

I know it’s strange but you can hear no feel the pain in each note that comes out and not just for v but for Johnny to because he knows how it feels to die and he doesn’t want the same for v and they both know that one of them is not coming back from arasaka tower......”goodbye v and never stop fightin”

Everytime I hear this track, it sucks me back in. Back to night city, the roof top, memories of everything I've done in cyberpunk and all the lives affected by what I've done and will do. Haunting and beautiful. Given the choice, who knows what I would pick. This game is more than breath taking, it's soul crushing

This is probably mt favorite track in the game. It really captures the desperation and exhaustion that not only V has, but everyone within Night City.

The irony of the Relic sign being there.

This music is a soul pain reflection

This gives me Bladerunner vibes

Immersion is when you half expect Johnny silverhand to come round the corner irl

you know i did the suicide run and the ending credits hurt me even more than the credits after comitting suicide. i know that bonds we formed was the only actual point of this whole story but i think it's unfair. not just to v but to their friends too. my v saved kerry (and romanced him) from his obsession with the past, with the johnny, he made kerry look forward to the life and enjoy the present, not think of the past. but when v dies what will happen to kerry? what'll happen to river? to misty? to judy? to panam? to nibbles for fuck's sake? they all lost too much it's so so cruel to make them lose even more. i hate when games dont have any happy endings. dont get me wrong i absolutely ADORE cyberpunk 2077 it's a great and incredibly amuzing game. and i love that it actually shows us that it was all the friendships we made along the way (unlike many other stroies that tell us that but never prove). but it made me i dunno... lose hope? after finishing the game i feel the loneliest i have ever felt and now i am also out of hope. i never thought that there is any point in living whatsoever but at least i believed that you can make little good things. but now? i dont even have that. i feel like whatever i do nothing will ever affect anything and there's no sense in even trying because it will always go to waste. my life will go to waste. everyone else's will too. the game was so amazing and the story so strong it broke the last parts of me that contained all the hope i had left.

This song is how i feel when i think about what our society has become.

It’s a shame that this gameripped ambient sountrack will probably be forgotten since it wasn’t included in the ost album.

"If I gotta die, rather fall into my grave gun in hand and on fire. And not drag anyone down with me." "Huh, you just discovered what it takes to become a legend... Grab your iron - let's mobilize." "Time to party like it's 2023." Let's attack Arasaka solo! 🦾😈🤟🏼

We put all this... the pills, everything... to bed...

" It all started in a fuckin' landfill. "

When Jackie and Panam had moments where they needed meds, both in a car strangely enough, I could not stop thinking to myself "dude, here. I have 144 MaxDocs you can have as many as you need."

Got a strong True Detective vibe from this track.

"Come a long way to get here, haven't we? Just think - it all started in a fuckin' landfill." No... it all started back in January 10, 2013 when that teaser came out, and then proceeding to wait 7 years, the entire life cylce of the PS4 and Xbox One, to get to this very moment. Was it worth it? Yes.

I love how the secure your soul ad is in the background, unconsciously driving the player to make that choice even if it’s the wrong one

POV: it’s 2024 and you’re missing V just as much as your missing Jackie and Johnny.

Thank you so much. I literally looked everywhere for this. You are the MVP!

Man.... I just realised something, every ost in this game invokes certain emotions, that's just crazy

how can someone play this game to the end , and still say that it is not a very good game? I mean sure , lot of stuff could have been done better , optimization , cut content etc. But what really matters is how a game unfolds , and how it ends... When I finish one of the assassin's creed (if I actually finish) , I don't even remember what happened 10 minutes ago. When I finished cyberpunk ,one of the endings , I wanted to sit in a corner of my room , I was so depressed. the game hits you , and it hits you hard. And this will always be how you know a game is good. graphics , even gameplay are secondary to this if your game's main goal is to tell a story. This is when you realize this game is really art. because it makes you feel more than some bits of fun , it gives you an emotional ride. cdpr always succeeded at doing that , that's why I think most people like their games. it's just so sad that this game has been cut of so much of it's potential... it's like seeing Rembrandt paint "The Night Watch" , then his patrons come , throw his tools away , take a shit on his painting , try to sell it , and blame the painter for the unfinished mess. And yet , someone with good eyes would quickly notice the amount of details and dedication beneath all the shit.

I set a screenshot of this scene with the arasaka relic advert on the "secure your soul" part as my pc backround because GODDAMN if it isnt an amazing shot.

The soundtrack is so impactful. One of the best things in the game

The only game ... that actualy made me cry in a long time ... i love this game and hate it at the same time of how depressing i felt after the end

i remember this scene on the rooftop back when it was 2021, i was in my bed with my laptop playing, and felt suffocated, in many ways, we're like v, we look for reasons for the stuff happening to us, we look for the most painless way to live, and by the end of it, death is inevitable, as desperate V was, all the world was at that time, we didn't know who will live, who will die, if it will ever end. It hit me hard, the pandemic was at its peak, and i found myself crying for those who couldn't make it because of the pandemic and didn't get to play this masterpiece.

The visuals on the roof where definitely some of the best in the entire game imo Beautiful colours the view of night city carrying on as usual as if nothing has happened even after all you have done in the game And right in front of you Arasaka tower Johnny and the ad for the relic 3 of the most important parts of the story in cyberpunk

i swear i was actually shaking tryna make a decision here. The music makes it all so erie.

What I find really crazy is that this perspective of the city must've been the very first concept, just for the motif, and then they built an entire city around it.

When I listen this music in this game I feel terrifed.

When V found out he only had a limited time to live even after having removed the biochip that moment had me frozen the way he leaned and just couldn’t accept his fate. All he did only for a temporary release

Thank you for this!

I love this game,its a very emotionally charged story with some great characters and the ending cutscenes are amazing,leaves you with a lump in your throat

I can hear the reaper...calling...

fuck, this game is so good man

Oh the dread I felt the first time I got to this stage and had to pick a plan 💀 your choices may not actually matter much, but if the game manages to convince you that they do, does it even matter? I was on edge with every choice I had to make my first play-through

A lot of us personalize this track with moment when V chooses his/her path. Think about it tho... all of the sick things you can witness in this game like mass poverty, mind controlling, corpos trying to destroy your soul... hell, there's even a theory that Biotechnika clones human meat in those creepy cow-farms of theirs. If you think about it all, you realize that that's what this track is truly about. It doesn't matter what you choose, or who you save, because this world is truly hopeless. It will end one way or another, and the only thing right now is to choose which part of this neon void you will be.

''Fuckin' scared me, know that? Thought you were on your way out'' ''No, still here'' ''For now''

This tracks theme is so surreal and ominous it just draws you in

I loved this game a lot Its so beautiful and filled with an amazing soundtrack, the story is so good too... love it

I love this piece of music, it makes u realise that the end is fast approaching for V and he only has a few options to try and save his life

This is how I started my day!

This choice was a point of terrible self reflection on how I played V, as not even Johnny was on my side. I’d fucked up panams story in the first mission locking me out of the rest, and took the opportunity to be an ass to Johnny the one time it mattered. Judy, I’d already called was the only relationship I hadn’t screwed over in the game. I genuinely considered the path of least resistance, before remembering- I’d come too far in trying to get rid of Johnny to let him take over. I downed the blockers and sold my soul to the devil (literally). That V is still waiting, until she can be a tapeworm on some poor soul who would dare try to steal a 'saka chip yorinobu.

this is one of those songs to listen to where you are in deep thought to make a tough choice that either one will screw you over or benefit you

there's some undertones of fear in the song

Putting aside the glitches and false promises; this game is by far one of the best games in terms of emersion. The soundtrack, the natural dialogue and brilliant voice acting of the npc in combination with the phenomenal ambience of the world makes you become hooked and emotionally invested in the game. There is a reoccurring theme of melancholy throughout the whole game which is carried heavily by the story in combination with the looks of a run down night city and the mournfull soundtrack seen here. I have yet to see a game that can copy this kind of artistic display.

“If I gotta die, rather fall into my grave gun in hand and on fire. And not drag anyone else down with me” “Youve just discovered what it takes to become a legend. Grab your iron. Lets mobilize!”

When I hear this music I have some scenes before my eyes: *Abby kills Joel, The Last of Us Part 2. *Shepard sacrifices himself for synthesis, Mass Effect 3. *Desmond sacrifices himself in order to protect humanity from Sun in 2012, Assassin's Creed III. *Sylvanas and Anduin in the Maw, World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. *Johnny goes with Alt and save V, Cyberpunk 2077. *Detlaff's death, The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine.

it wasn't until recently that I noticed the "secure your soul" advert playing not only in front of you, but also on the side of our megabuilding 10.

Cyberpunk 2077 OST is so amazing

This song makes me feel so much dread it’s insane.

what a nice sound. so disturbing and calming at the same time. author is genious

i love this part of the game. this theme drives everything the game has been telling you, home.

I don’t know why but this makes me sad like I want to cry after listening to this

"You know it's still not too late, I can still call Reed... You forget I had that option?"

I imagine this is what plays if you make it past the cyberwall

This melody is weeping

i feel like i sat at this part for so long, just stuck.

I want a film about cyberpunk 2077

thx bro

u can see the lights turning on by the windows its a cool detail

One of the best soundtracks l have ever heard- it really like- gives you this weirdly good vibe if you know what l mean-

You can just tell how tired V is how sad he is but not once did he ever shred a tear not once in the game do they show him crying….

Don't fear the reaper was a great ending if you beat the challenge you get probably the second best ending in the game no one dead and your a legend in NC but if ypu fail you get the suicide end credits which is pretty much what you do entering Arasaka's front door very well thought out I think

"leaving this world isn't scary as it sounds"

Everytime Johnny began to talk about his revolution, about how corpos are the worst thing in the world and this music started... and then, when I knew it was gonna be the last time I would listen it... it broke me, and in some way, it still does

now I’m smarter than I used to be and I know that this city is actually an extremely realistic prediction of the future. L for those living in the matrix.

i wish this game was like the original trailer a dark gritty city, dirty with steam pipes like here. does anyone know any movies with this sort of gritty setting like matrix 1 and dark city. terminator feels similar in this vibe i guess

Reminde me the movies from 90's

for some reason this song is inspiring me to be a hardcore coder to simulate neurons

"The fuck was that" Johnny silverhand Choosing hanako

The end of a journey was there. Deciding what option is the best decision for V, but also thinking about the consequences you'll bring upon yourself and for others. Not an easy choice regardless.

*music ends* johnny : "grab your iron..lets mobilize"

I'm literally crying like shitty choices I have.. Game and life...

This music piece is what this game should've been more like

I'm callin my girl Panam as soon as i got the option!

The story is sooo over looked, it's actually really good in all honesty

Night City is exactly like my crime filled small town, I couldn’t help but be absorbed into what essentially was ME in a game as the street kid and living my life in the twisted cybernetic future of my real life city really made me believe there was no V, it was me.
