Please change your thumb nail it will not be coming to Xbox one

[@radrobb3530]

Great to hear your opinion on the game bud! Thankfully you didn't have to address any drama and it could just be a clean honest take.

[@MrMightyZ]

Now Matty, I selected you because yours was the one single thumbnail that clearly suggested you were reviewing on console. To be fair Matty, that’s what that thumbnail looks like because there are two entities in that thumbnail Matt. You and an Xbox version of Phantom Liberty and the Xbox game is the biggest thing. Now if you always use and Xbox box in your thumbnails I put it to you that the single most divisive thing about the original launch was console quality vs pc, no console codes for review vs all pc codes. Someone out there MUST surely have reviewed it on console because CDPR would not make that gigantic deception twice. Your thumbnail is kind of careless to the whole situation by seemingly addressing this giant issue head-on. No hate. No thumbs down. Just my thoughts and opinions. A bad call in my opinion.

[@5226-p1e]

one feature i would love to see, but i doubt they would even add something like this, but it would be so cool if you could record what you did in the game but from various angels, something that focuses on the combat so that it looks like a movie, so when you are playing you use all the in-game mechanics to your fight, but the game is recording each situation so you can go back and edit the recording to only show scenes you were apart of. this was a feature that i only saw in one game back in the day, it wasn't that great of a game but it involved police chases and all kinds of fun shots using only the game engine and the edting features, but the feature was really cool and i would love to see it come back, a modder for cyberpunk tried to make it possible, but i'm not sure he finished his mod or not. so imagine a shot when you used your hacking in game, but in the recording it was caught in real time and didn't show the hack but you could see the effect to the NPC who your charactor hacked, but you can pick and choose any view you want while in this mode and when the video is fully finished and edited, it could be presented as a movie that could be put into a larger list of videos you make to be placed into one massive movie to show off your gameplay and skills and also capture the really badass gameplay in this game from another prespective outside of just the 1st person view.

I've been so pumped to jump back in with the new update. Haven't played since release

[@crispymelon2114]

Cyberpunk’s story is one of my favorites. The characters are so realistic and I really believed all the characters were real people. The main story alone isn’t the greatest, but once you’ve done a bunch of the major side quests it changes the interactions in the main story and really made me feel for V

[@hefty8876]

I had a great time with Cyberpunk when it first launched. I can’t wait to see all the new changes they’ve made and experience Phantom Liberty in a fresh play through.

[@slaybial1]

Oh man you're gonna love it. Can't wait for you to play it!

[@Metaphix]

Did you like it? Just finished one myself and holy shit Matty is right it's so good.

[@jmalonemyth]

I agree 100% Matty. I loved Cyberpunk day 1. I have 880 hours in the game. I did have a beefy system and what the did with consoles bordered on fraud. Not even sure it bordered on it. I love the game, the atmosphere, the music. I now have an even better system so I am ready to dip back into the new system and the DLC. I can't wait.

[@phant0mdummy]

It was fraud. Hence PS removed it from store to avoid legal action.

[@jmalonemyth]

I love the game but.... Just in case they fool us again, I would wait a couple weeks after release and see how different systems handle the game. I don't like the fact that all of the early reviewers were not allowed to show in game footage. Maybe they just want to avoid spoilers or maybe they know the DLC has higher requitements than the base game and some folks who bought the base game might have a bumpy time playing the DLC. The game will still be here a few weeks after release. I would at least wait for the full review of the optimization by Digital Foundry.

[@xenomorphlover]

880 hours 😮

[@derrviel]

How did you manage to play 880 hours? Is there so much to do in this game? I’m thinking to buy it so genuinely curious

Not only does matty meet all the criteria to be a shill, he is actually one of the worst ones. Can't stand this slimey mf. I think part of the problem with mattys audience is it's full of soulless reddit bugman who can't tell what a good game is anyway. They will just keep slurping down this ESG slop until this industry crashes.

[@MichaelOdendaal]

This year is so amazing for gaming. I literally have a backlog for months. Starfield now and can’t wait to hop into Phantom Liberty later this year.

[@moosechuckle]

I played Cyberpunk about a year after release and, probably because I waited, I didn’t experience any real issues. Personally, after about 32 years of gaming, Cyberpunk falls into my top 7 games. Pretty excited to try the newest version if I can ever get out of space and stop playing starfield.

[@Not-Great-at-Gaming]

The only real issues were with last gen hardware IMO. I played on a mid level PC and a Series X at launch and TBH, it was a lot more stable at launch than Starfield.

[@AirWolf2301]

@@Not-Great-at-Gaming For me both CP77 and Starfield where very stable at launch... the game that was not even a bit was Jedi Survivor. It was absurd that I can run CP77 at ultra with RT at 60 fps while SW:JS at 30-40 fps at ANY setting.(loved the game but it ran like crap)

[@aaronhumphrey3514]

I didn't play it until 1.5 and I feel similarly. It is a shame that they couldn't release the game in this state, but at least it's great now.

[@flynnoflenniken7402]

@@Not-Great-at-Gaming I was on PS4 Pro at the time, and I didn't have too many issues running Cyberpunk at launch, but I would say it was less stable for me than Starfield launch has been on the Series X, but yeah, that's comparing last gen hardware to current gen hardware. Starfield would probably be a mess if they tried to put on PS4 and Xbox One. But then, in Cyberpunk even now I occasionally have problems playing on Series X where I'm driving and suddenly fall through the ground into a void of nothing and have to reload a save. Occasional framerate drops. Worst thing that's happened to me in Starfield is sometimes my follower won't be wearing their spacesuit in the vacuum of space. So some Bethesda jank but nothing that interrupts the gameplay or anything. Well, the constant loading screens do interrupt the gameplay I suppose.

[@deluxo2901]

STARFIELD IS SOOOOOOOOOOO BAD

I played through Cyberpunk 2077 at release and I enjoyed it quite a bit, but definitely felt like there were a lot of features missing or not fully realized. With 2.0 coming out, I think most of those improvements have finally been addressed and I can't wait to hop back into the game!

Can’t wait for this DLC drop! I played cyberpunk in the buggy state and enjoyed it. Now this 🔥

[@radrobb3530]

Ever since Luther where Idris Elba plays a detective chief investigator (DCI) John Luther, I've been a huge fan. He's a brilliant and unhinged detective and the stories really get emotional and existential. It makes you question what separates order and chaos and what should be given up for more security. Special Agent is a great role given that context. Can't wait to pick this up but I'm not in a hurry...I have 120+ hours, two characters, one completed playthrough, and each character has a wildly different skill specialization/attribute focus. Really has been a great RPG playground and I just love Cyberpunk 2020 lore and world.

[@modifiedlandfish]

[@bullymaquire8797]

I refused to play cyberpunk all this time in hopes that it would finally meet the vision I originally had for it. Pretty proud of myself as I’m confident the patience will finally pay off. My life has hit an absolute stand still outside of gaming thanks to starfield and now this! Oh boy I hope I don’t just melt in the sun by the time I go outside again haha.

Same. I waited more for financial reason though. But saw it was on sale right before Christmas, asked someone if it was worth it now and they told it definitely was so I got it as a Christmas present for myself and I think I’ve already played a 100 + hours and I’m OBSSESED with it

As one who played the original paper and pencil RPG, I love what I'm hearing. Can't wait to jump back in. Enjoyed my initial play through, but it was definitely a departure from the OG RPG. Cyberpunk 2.0 sounds like what I was hoping for with the launch.

With what you're saying about V's dialogue, I will say that it definitely feels that way in 2077. I've caught myself feeling the same as you but prior to Phantom Liberty.

[@remmykun8315]

There are many vents that you can use in Starfield to get to computers that you can unlock and then disable robots and turrets. The problem with Starfield is that you have to play A LOT to find many of the mechanics and possibilities that the game offers.

[@darthsparrow1358]

It’s meant to be fooled around in for years, will it live and breathe like Skyrim or oblivion? Or fallout 3 or 4? We shall see. I’m digging it but I work so it’s hard to dig in to the meat of the game. But I dig it. 😊

[@John-996]

if only cyberpunk had just come out this year and not 2020.

[@SilvyReacts]

I still don't consider it that great of an RPG. It's a good game, but in terms of roleplay? It lacked pretty severely in that regard. So it just tells me what you want in an RPG is very different than what I want. For me a good RPG requires the world to be interactive and not feel restrictive on what you can do. If I can't walk up to a random street vendor and order something from them, then it's the furthest thing away from that. Second a good RPG can't be overly linear in it's storytelling, which CP2077 is very linear in that regard. There should also be a lot of environmental storytelling. The idea being when you go into an abandoned building you should be able to piece together a story. CP2077 again lacks this outside of some side quests. (they did a good job with this in regards to the cyber psychos though, you could usually always tell something went down and that there was a story there, but I think that counts as a side quest) Really the only part that makes CP2077 an RPG is the leveling system, which is the absolute bare minimum. And I would argue even that wasn't very good, as a lot of the perks didn't even work. I really hope Phantom Liberty is better, but I don't trust your review. I am holding off till more reviews come out, and even then I will wait at least a month or so before considering getting it.

[@stasyanje4225]

Finally a meaningful comment.

[@R3TR0J4N]

its wild that most mechanics were overhauls of the cut content which exist inside the game like police system, car chases, and etc which modders pointed out and brought back as mods; 2.0 does the same what modders does but with large overhaul and not relying on ingame files.

[@xredempx5037]

Still can’t believe you rated cyber punk what you did at the start that was so ridiculous. I mean now is definitely a different story but that review the first time around ruined any credibility you had. Good video on the 2.0 phantom liberty update tho!

Started cyberpunk on launch in 2020 and after a couple hours on PC I said “this is fine but I’ll wait on it” what a time to finally have that first real experience with the game.

[@Curt_Randall]

Phantom Liberty is certainly a great DLC campaign. Although the campaign itself is extremely short. The Mr. Hands combined side quests last longer than the campaign. And they artificially made the campaign seem longer by having several missions that make you wait for (in game) days before you can progress. Also I found Idris Elba's character uninteresting, sorta boring and one-dimensional. It felt like he was phoning it in.

[@garywasseljr]

After playing Starfield, which really in my opinion, is a crummy game especially the more you play it, I decided to pick Cyberpunk up again after 3 years. I really wanted that RPG feeling again. What a night and day difference. A mature, fun, immersive/engaging experience. I’m beyond happy the turn around this game has had. I play Starfield and I feel like I’m playing a game made by middle schoolers, where everything is limited and “played safe.” It’s got immature writing, immature world building and lore, just….immature is the best way to describe it. Lazy and held back. Cyberpunk is the total opposite. I can’t wait for this DLC.

[@DV-ou1yu]

You're exaggerating a bit, but I somewhat agree overall about Starfield. Cyberpunk is pretty great and loved it overall. Not sure I will grab the dlc though

[@quademasters249]

I'm still working my way through Starfield. I mean "work" too. There's not much joy there. I enjoy boarding ships and investigating derelicts but the rest of the experience hasn't been that great. I've hated the two companions I've had so far. Couldn't wait to get them off my ship. It's a very sanitary experience, very Disney. There's nothing adult about it.

[@DV-ou1yu]

@quademasters249 I never thought about it that way....the adult part. I don't think it's the lack of maturity, but the fact that the game doesn't want to be deep. Like the way companions just all of sudden become your bestfriend because....plot...then just confide in you because they accompanied you to another galaxy. It's very on the nose and lacks any gravity.

[@quademasters249]

@@DV-ou1yu "Because they need it for the plot to happen". Haha yeah. This started with Fallout 4. Fallout 3 and Skyrim were both adult experiences with all the nastiness that implies. Fallout 4 was completely toned down. I imagine the next Skyrim will be the same. No highs or lows, just mid's. Not terrible but not great either. They're so afraid of offending, everything is now milquetoast. I agree it lacks any gravity. Even situations that could be fantastic, like finding the generation ship from earth that wanted to settle down, ended up being banal. The stakes weren't that great. I'd have like to see the ship threaten to nuke the planet if they don't comply and we having to work something out between them.

[@notedsinner3171]

I cant wait to start my new playthrough tomorrow morning! 2.0

[@robman732]

What I’m curious about is the immersion and exploration. Is Night City more immersible now and what about new places to explore? Can we finally sit at a random bar and have a drink served to us or will it be a generic menu opens up and you just select what you want? Or how about all the locked doors we keep seeing on the buildings. It would be nice if more buildings like the Mega Building were more accessible.

[@kkammei]

2.0 won't change any of that. I don't think CDPR really promised it would. It's mainly QOL plus bug fixes and a complete gameplay overhaul. Environment / world interactivity is not changed at all besides police chases and dynamic events like gang shootouts. Whether or not Dogtown in Phantom Liberty is far more interactive I have no idea but here's to hoping.

[@robman732]

Well, since 2.0 just dropped, you are correct. Which is a slight bummer. CP 2077 has a great story and all, but immersion is what caught my attention and I really want my character to do simple things like sit at a bar, order a drink and have V drink it. Night City is beautiful but need s more immersion. Instead, it's all menu driven:( However, Starfield is the same way. All interactions are just menus, so I shouldn't expect much from an older game like CP 2077. Oh well, maybe things will be different on the sequel. @@kkammei

[@digitalpayne8287]

With everything else coming up after I finish Starfield (Lies of P, Armored Core 6, AC Mirage, Alan Wake 2), this seems like it'll be the perfect thing to jump back into for a second playthrough during the holidays. Good stuff!

[@antonthemanton3065]

From Starfield to Phantom Library to Alan Wake 2 and more... So busy this year lol

[@beez2673]

Cyberpunk 2077 has had an amazing redemption arc. Wouldn't be surprised if they game started selling extremely well

[@goerdn]

Finally decided to give cyberpunk a try and wow am I having a good time. Not to throw shade at starfield but… yeah way more immersive

[@jackson_carter]

I remember replaying this game day 1 and it has come so far! It was pretty bad day 1 😂. Very excited to hop back into a new character and experiencing what CDPR is known for

[@mraso30]

Ya it was rough on release, even on PC. Much improved today though!

[@Megamoongaming]

How are you gonna drop a review without any footage?

[@swampfoxIX]

Starfield...Street Fighter 6....Phantom Liberty. 2023 = decent year for gaming. Edit: that speech pattern you find funny in V's character is actually prevalent throughout the entire game, not just the DLC. I immediately recognized it because that's how some (but not all) Eastern Europeans talk when they speak English, as I lived and worked in Europe for many years and served with Poles on NATO deployments. (e.g.,: putting "that" at the end of a sentence)

[@itsgonnabeokay9341]

Well I played the game in Polish and I haven't even noticed those things

[@KhanBell-x3q]

You forgot to mention MK1

[@beige_projection]

Bought the game at launch, and have always loved it on PC version. In retrospect, the huge disaster of its release on old gen consoles was a blessing in disguise for me at least, as CDPR really worked hard to give us updates after updates, and the big ones that I remember, patches 1.3, 1.5, and 1.6 added new content to the game to keep us new players filled with new content. And now with 2.0. which sounds like a new version, it's like I'll be able to experience playing two versions of a AAA game that I've always loved and for free. So I feel like I really got my money's worth and so much more since I'm able to get these much content as opposed to just being able to experience one version of the game if I chose to wait for the "final and best version" of the game which is 2.0.

[@danieljobson7904]

Great review matty! Although, I am disappointed that this one didn’t “catch you off guard”. Surely they “did the impossible” here? How comes it wasn’t “insane”?. 😂. Love defining Duke man. Keep it up

[@vovindequasahi]

What a year for RPG gamers!! Baldur's Gate, Starfield, and now Cyberpunk 2077 1.0 after a couple of years only having the beta... err I mean 2.0!! What's really cool too is that while these are all RPGs, they are so different that it won't be exhausting but rather refreshing to play them in parallell.

[@Jv19979]

Starfield isn't a rpg

[@revben]

​@@Jv19979so you have not played Starfield, interesting

[@thegreatfulgamer5749]

Love the necklace bro

[@erhabik]

3:05 - Sisters of Mercy reference right there. Lucretia My Reflection. Somebody on the team has to be a big Sisters of Mercy fan.

[@ito2789]

So this is “update” is basically the game we should’ve gotten back in 2020…..

[@antonharmacinski276]

The game ran fine after the 2.0 update but after I downloaded PL, I had issues with the game crashing when it was trying to cloud save. I tried dropping settings to lowest and it still crashed. I then went to turn off Cloud Sync in GOG but that didn't fix it. I had to turn off Cross Platform Progression in the game's settings and it's been smooth sailing ever since. I'm on a 2060 Super so my FPS is only in the 40's-50's when on Raytracing (Medium), but unless I'm playing online competitive games, I really don't feel much, if any, difference between 30 and 60. To put it into perspective, we all gamed at 30 fps just fine for the longest time, so when playing a solo game like this, I don't feel the need to be in the frame race. I like slow hikes, so I can enjoy the surroundings. But, that's just the opinion of someone who was a child during the Pac-demic. Back in the 80's, my friends and family caught the fever real bad. Some of us, like my father and I, have never been cured. ;) There is so much more going on in this expansion than people aren't talking about. (Probably can't and I understand.) I'm not a pro gamer or content creator, so if I'm stumbling across these things, I'm guessing the people playing it "professionally" have probably seen and noticed it all too. I won't spoil anything, but when they say they have reworked almost every aspect of the game, they didn't lie. I'm only a few hours into the expansion and the story has been great. People have mentioned that V seems different, and I also get that, but I feel they are now even more V than before. (At least the V I was playing. The "new" V is very inline with the dialogue choices I would make.) Speaking of dialogue, I don't know if different reviewers got different release versions, but I noticed some different options in some scenes. And these weren't options related to perks or attributes, just one or two different options here and there. Maybe it has to do with the life paths? All I know is that I've seen the same scenes several times now and the options have varied. I really enjoyed this and it really caught my attention. 2 that stick out most was during my initial convo with Meyers and when talking to the bar tender before Reed arrives. My point is, I feel like the changes run deeper than CDPR is letting on, and I'm guessing no one is talking about it/them because the release is still less than a week old. I won't even begin about some of the cool mechanics I stumbled upon while playing. Some of them I am really surprised I haven't seen in a video yet, as some have already been sort of advertised. The best way I can describe it so far is, CDPR is running ads for a slice of pie, but when you order it, a whole pie gets delivered instead of just that one slice.

[@itsdeonlol]

Great review Matty!

[@statesminds]

Wish it got a physical on disc but preordered on xbox store for now

[@thecyndaquil155]

I've been waiting for 2.0 to replay this game. I'm glad to hear it's looking good!

[@primalspongebob6144]

I’m so hyped to go back to my original V I made on an Xbox one x. Easily one of my favorite games and the expansion is looking really really sweet

[@artattack5420]

I would like to hear more about your hockey days and what you do with it now.

[@RobbieB2606]

Excited to finally play the version of the game I thought I bought 3 years ago....

[@MaxPainMSF]

No-ones mentioning Deus Ex? This seems like a next gen Deus Ex

[@halfdanhaugaard3334]

"RPG" is a wide term these days. Cyperpunk is a great game - but calling it a RPG is a bad departure to the genre IMO. It has RPG element's like most games have today, but it's like calling KOTOR a shooter (:

[@PillzBerry27]

You should not say this game is the best game of this generation. You should it wait until for the 2.0 update Phatom Liberty and then say it's the game of this generation. For example Mass Effect. All three games were the best of that generation of the 360 PS3 and PC because it the Star Trak of this generation.

[@OilersHD97]

Can't wait to check this out Still deciding if i want to play on ps5 or pc

[@darkadia6520]

I really hope mods update quickly when it launches specifically body mods. I want that busty V when I play the expansion.

[@Thinkingthings1]

I was having fun with it when it was broken. I've redownloaded and I'm impressed with the fixes.
