More than the dlc itself, I'm looking forward to the 2.0 update. I really hope it delivers because cyberpunk Dec. 2020 felt like a draft of a potentially great game.
@@OilersHD97 did they fix any of the absolutely busted things though? I'm thinking police and perks and gear stats. Tbh I haven't thought much about cyberpunk because it was a very mediocre experience for me at launch. But this update and dlc sound like they address some core issues finally.
Hey, Karak! Excellent review. I never got anywhere near finishing Cyberpunk, so with the upcoming release of 2.0 I think I will finally play it through and then move onto the expansion.
I was smart to put it down early and allow the updates and DLC to kick in, so I'd get the opportunity to play the true version of the game. Seems like it will pay off once I'm ready to take break from Starfield. Great review as usual.
B-roll footage only for reviews again. you'd think they learn that wasn't a good idea the last time. BUT! I'm liking at what you stated about the "see how the patch changes feels, decide to buy later" for the Expansion. That was exactly what I was wondering about.
I'm definitely ready to finally give Cyberpunk a fair shake. I put in about 15 hours over the past couple of years, usually a few hours after each patch to see how it is doing. Back in June of this year it finally felt like a game I could really enjoy playing, but then I realized Phantom Liberty and Patch 2.0 were due out in a few months and decided I'd hold off until the game is truly completed. Thinking I will update to 2.0, restart my main story with female V as her voice actor is a lot better everyone says, replay up to the point I am at currently at least, and then if I am truly feeling great about the game (which I do think I will) I will buy Phantom Liberty. The only issue is that I am enjoying Starfield so much, I don't really want to put Starfield down or on hold... So I am sure I will DL 2.0 tomorrow and start a new game, but it may still be another month or two before I fully jump in again. Soooo many great games coming up to play. Spiderman 2, Alan Wake 2, STALKER 2, Avatar is looking good, Phantom Liberty / Cyberpunk, AC: Mirage is looking pretty good too. May be missing one or two that I am looking forward to as well that release in the next 6 months or so.
I'm in a similar boat. I've been slowly playing Starfield, and enjoying it more bit by bit, each time I play, but then Lies Of P came out yesterday, and I've been looking forward to that game for so long, so I immediately jumped into that and I'm loving it. Still wanna remember to keep putting time into Starfield, though, as well as checking out CP2077 for the 2.0 patch, and a few other games you mentioned, like Avatar, Assassin's Creed, and Stalker 2. Lots of stuff to look forward to, just gotta figure out where to put the time into which game.
Previews of stalker 2 are extremely negative so far. Like its miles from being complete. I would temper my expectations. Btw, 2077 is amazing. I find it better than starfield in the most important ways. But both are awesome in their own way. I love such rich-men's-troubles of having too many new games at once :D Not a dull moment.
@@casthedemon True, funny you say that because both Skyrim and Cyberpunk scratched the same itch for me. The vibe and general experience of just playing and existing in the world in both games is just so satisfying, regardless of the fact that the individual elements of the experience may be flawed
@@silverhost9782 the only good part of Skyrim in the atmosphere and music. But Cyberpunk has a genuinely fantastic story that I loved despite the bland gameplay.
I always thought it was crazy that your subacriber count was so low. Its literally IGN, Skill Up, ACG, and Gameranx: Before you Buy. Those are the top channels for reviews, but your subscriber count was under a million, which made no sense. So congrats man!
If anyone is playing for the first time or starting a new game ... The best point to start Phantom liberty is after the Voodoo boys story missions. Its the one thing i was wondering about myself as i wanted to start a new playtrough after not playing the game for atleast a year and a half
LOL... loved that line "Some of the missions action pact and some where the action forgot to be pact" Your messages are very quote worthy in every steam you produce.
I just recently beat the game . After not playing it since launch . The game is crazy good on how it is now . 2.0 update just to make it that much better !
I usually don't like futuristic setting games, but I really wanna try this game atleast for the graphic and atmosphere. BUT 1st person perspective really hold me back. I like 3rd person view games more and most of my games is 3rd person perspective.
Sounds like the community was overhyping what the patch and DLC actually does. How is melee combat now? From what I remember it really lacked feedback, felt weightless and was inferior to guns has any of that been changed compared to at launch?
It got way better. They added dash which helps with movement and there is deflect bullets which is cool so there is more to do that just run up and slice. also like someone pointed out, if you have a game you can check it yourself lol.
I think it's important game developers understand that players will give a game another chance IF they fix some of the glaring problems that were present at launch. "Build it and they will come" is just as true of videogames as it is of anything else.
Bought 2077 for $5 (fiasco prices). Played it. Fkcn loved it. Insta buy Liberty dlc. Technicall/Bug aside on launch, Cyberpunk 2077 is a really well crafted story/gameplay/mechanic game. One of a kind. -Choom
I have a 7900xtx and am excited to see how the game runs at full ray tracing with FSR 3.0 enabled. Either way, I'm currently getting 70+ FPS with full ray tracing at 1440p on my 7900xtx, and that's good enough for single-player games, so I know I'll enjoy playing this game regardless.
Man imagine if the game released 3 years ago was a finished product and all the time and resources they spent fixing the game would have been used to make 2 or 3 DLCs of content like this one.
You should have also done a fourth score for people who have not played cyberpunk 2077 at all, I would assume that would be pretty high, no? To experience the proper version of this game?
Does it let you reallocate attribute points as well when you reload an old character or just perk points? With the massive rework of the skill trees I really hope I get the opportunity to change attribute investments just the once at the beginning instead of having to remake completed character builds from scratch.
Loved the story in my original play-through. I do wish that this expanded upon the ending(s), I'm not a huge fan of expansions set in the middle of games. I prefer expanding the story and moving forward. so many questions about V, I guess they just don't want to decide on one ending. I'll check it out though, looks really good. I'm amazed at how good Cyberpunk looks and runs on the Series X and other consoles, amazing work by CDPR. Then I look at Starfield's facial animations and cringe.
Random thought: I'm convinced big studios like CDPR prefer to release an ambitious game in an unfinished state to guarantee a steady source of income from the preorder hype + steady drip of new buyers; pretty much an early access without the early access tag. It gives them easy publicity (any publicity is good publicity) and therefore an immediately boosted platform to advertise their improvements and DLC. Plus most studios who end up turning the crap game into something notable and "good" usually get forgiven pretty quickly, especially since patches are free and the game's price only stays the same or decreases over time (see no mans sky, BF4). It may not be good for reputation at first but its not the craziest idea if a studio is bleeding money and need to show some return for their investors? Would be cool to hear an insiders opinion on that
What I've heard is that version 2.0 with the DLC included is really the game that everyone was hyped about getting before Cyberpunk was released. It still doesn't seem to have any relaxing stuff to do in the city itself, like gambling, and fun little side-activities that Rockstar games are known for, so the city is still a pretty barren playground in that sense. However I am sure going to get the DLC and play with a new character and experience it properly, because I had the patience to wait to complete it once I heard that this stuff was on its way.
Rockstar games may be filled with stuff to do, but the gameplay in those games are boring scripted trash that doesn't even offer difficulty setting, unless it's Max Pain. Drive around the backroads in the game if you want peaceful.
Amazing now please somehow please give us VR night city would be the most amazing city to be in virtually. Maybe just story missions and some side gigs. I know some people can do it on PC and that’s great… but not for everyone
Something that drove me crazy in the OG release was the same music played in every single combat scenario. It really got grating after some time, is that still the case now?
I thought this game would have a lot more game mechanic wise. Player houses, dynamic repeatable procedural generated missions, a companion system, maybe a multiplayer system like GTA 5. It seems so barebones and linear, like I'm walking through a movie.
You know what, I love Cyberpunk 2077 now it's fixed, easily the best game so far on the PS5 HANDS DOWN!!! I love the cultural blend with Asia, true to the genre. But Phantom Liberty? It's just so damn OOO RARR AMERICA!!!! I'm Australian and free thinker enough to see blatant force-fed patriotism when it's shoved up my nostrils. Hey to all my American friends best of luck to you all! Be nice to each other and the rest of the world. But this???? Seriously. It's a cliche. I'm only glad I got out of the DLC with some funky gear. My thoughts. It could have had the same mechanics and playability without being a shallow 80s action movie about saving the freaking President etc. And such a missed opportunity to have three new radio stations which could have had BIlly Idol the godfather of Cyberpunk music, instead we get three new stations even more forgettable than the last ones. I mean, wouldn't you have prefered to be tearing around in Night City to Shock to the system? I know I would. :)
You couldn't pay me to re install that trash game, let alone convince me to pay more money for a new quest line. Reinstall GTA 4 or 5, and walk around the cities and look at the NPCs, and realize those games are leagues ahead of Cyberpunk, old games from 15 years ago. Glorified RTX demo.
Aren't we ready to just refer to these things as "expansions" again? We used to, then it was replaced with "DLC", which is redundant now. Physical media is gone; literally everything you put on your PC today is downloaded. Phantom Liberty is an expansion pack.
A DLC from CDPR make always more than other entire AAA games. I'm glad that after such a long wait we have the game properly fixed and with a solid expansion.
Absolutely loved Cyberpunk 2077 on release. Had a great vibe and was overall fun as hell. I am really looking forward to being able to dive back into that world for some more mayhem.
With all due respect, I just can't trust any reviews related to CP2077 after all of those 9's and 10's before the release. Gotta check it out for myself and then return and listen to yours.
Yep I remember that everyone except one outlet gave it 9s and 10s and it was pretty clear the game didn't deserve those scores and restricted video footage was a red flag then and it is again now. The problem is they say it's to avoid spoilers but given what happened last time you expect everyone to take you at your word?
Pre-ordered the game have not played it yet. Just been sitting on the shelf. This was the moment I was waiting for before diving in. All that said, CDPR should have released this game this year and avoided all the blowback.
No they would have released it with the original ideas The blowback is instrumental for all these changes e.g. transmog, police, chases etc., all things I never cared about
I preordered this game and I will never pay more money for what is described as 'closer to what they promised'. They can give me the complete game I paid for or I'll simply never buy from them again. That simple. If it's dlc that is designed specifically to expand, I get that. That's akin to mmo expansions. Cool. But if the idea is this is what makes the game complete, and I already paid for the complete game, fvck em. Know your worth 🤷 Good review. Love the channel. Cheers.
I’ve bought Cyberpunk 3 times. Once on the Xbox one. Once on PS5. Then I discovered PC gaming like Columbus and saw it on sale on Epic and bought it again. I’ve never finished the game and I got about one more try in me.
Looks like another game I'm going to have to play through again. They made so many changes to the main game that it seems like a disservice to play only the dlc.
As someone who wasn't a fan of the base game due to immersion, story, characters and world interactivity, I'm going to have to give this one a pass. Thanks for the review! I appreciate your honesty and openness on what this offers and who it's for. And, unless I grab it on a good sale, you saved me some money.
The story (even side stories and side side stories), characters and immersion is good tho The interactivity is the issue, let's see, they have changed a bit apparently
Shouldn't it have been a review based on the assumption people watch DID like the original Cyberpunk 2077?! This review was not of your normal high quality, which is a shame.
Will never forget how cdpr sold me a full priced beta, said the dlc would be free and gave me useless shirts and apartments lol, hope this turns out to be good but I'm still salty af about their scam
I kinda regret returning this game to gamestop around 3 months after getting and finishing it. When it first came out it was almost unplayable with the amount of crashes it would have. Might see if i can get a cheap used copy and try this dlc
I was impressed by the continued slow chopping away of perf issues and the 2.0 update over the top of a solid expansion that has a good number of acts and some unique continued gig types that never really stop. If you like reviews done by people who buy the game, check out the patron it helps especially as youtube continues to demonotize. www.patreon.com/AngryCentaurGaming
so B-roll aside, why don't you report on the version you played ? if it was without flaws, it's only logical that release one will be either the same or better, no ?
I'm glad the developers didn't abandon the game despite its rough launch. This and the update 2.0 makes it worth revisiting Night City! Edit: Comment section more happening than the war in Dogtown.
Yeah charging more money definitely made them the "good guys." I wonder if basic things like the NCART and flying cars work yet and not just mindless combat changes. :/
It's CDPR, they kind of didn't have a choice. But it's still technically worse off. It lost its massive MP spinoff, the rumored 2/3 xpacs, and probably tons of content that got thrown out because of the focus on actually finishing the game. I can't wait for the big 2.0 patch but none of it is going to change the game's most glaring issues like how lifeless and wasty the open world is, especially compared to games like GTA which has its problem but man has a shitton going on around every corner which is why people keep coming back to it 10 years later. Hopefully they learn from this mess...
Maybe, if possibly maybe - they could push 1 last dlc for this before doing a 2 might make the whole experience for the returning players really great again. The problem that we are facing (returners) is that we can still vividly remember the story through and through, and I genuinely hope I couldn't remember it anymore because I really do want to replay this game from scratch.
I can remember because it's not a super crazy story how can you forget the story is trying to get j.s. out of your head while taking down the corpos of night city
Thanks for a honest review. I really got annoyed by the other YT reviewers I've watched the past few days. After watching your review I'm actually doubting the other reviewers actually played the expansion at all.
I remember getting this game when it was Dirt cheap bc I really did believe they could deliver an improved version of the combat, happy to see and hear that they did. Patiently waiting yet hopeful and excited about what is to come in the future with a better engine to work with.
Don't be fooled. Cyberpunk was ALWAYS good... for people with a decent PC. The VAST majority of the crappy bugs you saw was from people playing on last gen consoles. A decent PC with a decent graphics card ran Cyberpunk 2077 just fine at launch. Were there bugs? Sure there were, but no more than most other AAA release in the last 10 years. People claiming otherwise are ignorant or simply lying. Of course, its possible to simply not like the game itself but that's personal taste and a completely different story. All that said, I'm really looking forward to this new expac! It looks amazing!
The problem with Cyberpunk Is the gameplay ...The game wasnt fun to play and it aint gonna be fun to play... You cant sell me in on better graphics..or another city when the game itselfs never got me hooked from the beginning..
It's not the game I wanted from the start, but I think some choice mods to introduce a little more substance will make Cyberpunk feel like somewhat of a masterpiece. I'm looking forward to 2.0! And I'm def going to try out some survival mods, and whatever else makes the world feel more alive!
They did mention there was going to be a revamp to the controls a bit so I’m hoping so too. I loved the game but the camera sensitivity and aiming was so odd sometimes
If they added much needed life to the city (not just mindless combat changes and "insert famous actor" mocap) like fixing the NCART, more random encounters (more than 1 or 2), game world interactivity/reactivity, and some gd flying cars, etc then I might buy it.
The story was the only good part about the game, and by that I mean the core story. All the side quests and most of the companion quests were pretty boring or outright terrible, and few had any consequences. The 2.0 patch should make it player it actually bearable though, and supposedly it gives the game an ending that won't piss people off by insuiting your V dies anyway post credits. Solid high 80s games I guess but man I'm glad people didn't give it game of the year as a freebie because it in no shape or form deserved it. Hard to believe this is the same studio that made Witcher 3.
@@CrystallineLore Yeah I am thinking I will mainline the story this time around. Last time I did a lot of the side quests and I didn't like many of them. Got about 15 hours in and gave up on it, but I did like a lot of what the main quest had going on (only complaint is they should have had like 5 quests during the introduction, instead of that lame montage with Jackie, would have been so much better to have the intro that they showed off as just a quick cutscene). Almost feels like there should really be another DLC made, which is more like a prequel, and fills in that gap of time.
Me too but because I barreled through it like a COD. It reeeaaally was a lifeless city. If they added much needed city substance (not just mindless combat changes and "insert famous actor" mocap) like fixing the NCART, more random encounters (more than 1 or 2), game world interactivity/reactivity, and some gd flying cars, etc then I might buy it.
The stamina changes could be cool

Can you visit the prostitutes while playing in vr?
Good question, no I'm pretty sure it just plays as a cinematic in front of you :(
The game never fully clicked for me. Hopefully this update can that
"CDPR requested that only B footage and trailers be used"
heyyy ive seen that one before
Charles Miner left Scranton and really branched out
Amazing now please somehow please give us VR night city would be the most amazing city to be in virtually. Maybe just story missions and some side gigs. I know some people can do it on PC and that’s great… but not for everyone
I think Idris is an awesome actor, can’t wait to check this dlc out.
This was a solid expansion and i ended up putting a lot of hours into both rerunning the main game and doing the expansion. The 2.0 update was huge.

The blurred text is a nice touch
It's nice that you can aggressively throw a dude at a dude. That's not a feature in enough games.
i'm hoping we can throw kids even further
The only other games that have this has a feature is Dishonored and Dragon's Dogma AFAIK.
Extremely underrated feature.
That's why we have mods on PC ;-)
Will never ever be even close to the game the devs led us to believe we were going to be getting.
Only edgerunners got it right
True!
They overhyped it TOO much!
But game itself is pretty good for what it is now.
You couldn't pay me to re install that trash game, let alone convince me to pay more money for a new quest line.
Reinstall GTA 4 or 5, and walk around the cities and look at the NPCs, and realize those games are leagues ahead of Cyberpunk, old games from 15 years ago.
Glorified RTX demo.
this is the funniest joke ive ever read on youtube
so you play games for some random NPC's on streets? lmao
@@Gutek524 Cope my friend. Now go give them more of your money and cope.
you are the one coping here, now go watch some random npcs that you love so much @@mangaas
If this game released at this state with that content inside, it would have a critic metacritic score in the mid 90s easily
Yep!
I hope Idris Elba is the Duke of Night City, A #1
I enjoyed the original a lot on my ps4 pro a year after its launch lol. Good to see projekt red finishing it right
Aren't we ready to just refer to these things as "expansions" again? We used to, then it was replaced with "DLC", which is redundant now. Physical media is gone; literally everything you put on your PC today is downloaded. Phantom Liberty is an expansion pack.
I think for sure
A DLC from CDPR make always more than other entire AAA games. I'm glad that after such a long wait we have the game properly fixed and with a solid expansion.
I just find it funny they are finally getting the game to where it should have been on launch and they're moving on lol.
It's actually no where near to what was conceptualized that's why they switched to unreal 5 and have been working on Cyberpunk 2 from now on
Escape from NY vibes gotta make my character look like a snake blisskin guy who Carries a scoped revolver 😂
Absolutely loved Cyberpunk 2077 on release. Had a great vibe and was overall fun as hell. I am really looking forward to being able to dive back into that world for some more mayhem.
👍👍
With all due respect, I just can't trust any reviews related to CP2077 after all of those 9's and 10's before the release.
Gotta check it out for myself and then return and listen to yours.
Yep I remember that everyone except one outlet gave it 9s and 10s and it was pretty clear the game didn't deserve those scores and restricted video footage was a red flag then and it is again now. The problem is they say it's to avoid spoilers but given what happened last time you expect everyone to take you at your word?
Doubt they fix the still buggy mess of the ui and crafting
Very excited to jump back into the game after not touching it since launch. Thanks for the awesome review as always!
Pre-ordered the game have not played it yet. Just been sitting on the shelf. This was the moment I was waiting for before diving in. All that said, CDPR should have released this game this year and avoided all the blowback.
No they would have released it with the original ideas
The blowback is instrumental for all these changes e.g. transmog, police, chases etc., all things I never cared about
U weird asf
I’m not sure if I wanna pay for a “fix” but maybe I’ll wait for a bundle on sale and give it a shot again
Patch 2.0 is free tho ;-)
I haven't tried the new Dlc. But the vanilla game still doesn't deliver what was promised. A City that's fully explorerable.
good to hear. Cyberpunk was always a favorite of mine despite the many flaws. Can't wait to play this expansion.
Who’s Idris Alba?
Looking forward to starting a brand new character for 2.0 and this expansion. Sure, I have 3 lvl 50 characters but I'm still gonna start brand new.
I preordered this game and I will never pay more money for what is described as 'closer to what they promised'. They can give me the complete game I paid for or I'll simply never buy from them again. That simple.
If it's dlc that is designed specifically to expand, I get that. That's akin to mmo expansions. Cool. But if the idea is this is what makes the game complete, and I already paid for the complete game, fvck em.
Know your worth 🤷
Good review. Love the channel. Cheers.
They really should update red mod mod tools so people can make Quest mods other content to the game instead
I’ve bought Cyberpunk 3 times. Once on the Xbox one. Once on PS5. Then I discovered PC gaming like Columbus and saw it on sale on Epic and bought it again. I’ve never finished the game and I got about one more try in me.
Looks like another game I'm going to have to play through again. They made so many changes to the main game that it seems like a disservice to play only the dlc.
Saw one reviewer say they put 30+ hrs into. That's a LOT of content for an expansion. Wow.
MortismalGaming? ;-)
Hopefully they add ng+ later on
As someone who wasn't a fan of the base game due to immersion, story, characters and world interactivity, I'm going to have to give this one a pass. Thanks for the review! I appreciate your honesty and openness on what this offers and who it's for. And, unless I grab it on a good sale, you saved me some money.
The story (even side stories and side side stories), characters and immersion is good tho
The interactivity is the issue, let's see, they have changed a bit apparently
Another paid review 😂
Comeback to this comment after a week ;-)
I checked on pie die and we just need another 1 added to the numbers....
Any white heterosexual male characters in this DLC? It doesnt look like it 😮
Shouldn't it have been a review based on the assumption people watch DID like the original Cyberpunk 2077?! This review was not of your normal high quality, which is a shame.
Will never forget how cdpr sold me a full priced beta, said the dlc would be free and gave me useless shirts and apartments lol, hope this turns out to be good but I'm still salty af about their scam
Congrats to CDPR, they finally released the 2077 out of early access. 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Time to buy it!
On sale! ;-)
I'll probably get the dlc later because theres so many games coming out, but im definitely going to do a new playthough, when Update 2.00 drops.
Looks good, really wanna try Corpo and Nomad path again.
This and Skill Up are the only reviews I care about.
Heard Idris Elba and thats all I needed to know
Since it was so rough and I never really gave it my full attention I think I’m going to have to start fresh.
I really wish they'd stop showing the metro in trailers and then not having a functioning system in the game.
Damn.... guess I shouldnt have picked the ending where I died....
I kinda regret returning this game to gamestop around 3 months after getting and finishing it. When it first came out it was almost unplayable with the amount of crashes it would have. Might see if i can get a cheap used copy and try this dlc
I was impressed by the continued slow chopping away of perf issues and the 2.0 update over the top of a solid expansion that has a good number of acts and some unique continued gig types that never really stop. If you like reviews done by people who buy the game, check out the patron it helps especially as youtube continues to demonotize.

Been watching your channel for years. You deserve the amount of subscribers you have. Congrats
Gigs that never stop? That sounds bad, like "radiant quests" crap
Why is TH-cam demonetizing?
@@michaelkrynski7793 he's saying that since beginning of the channel. it's almost a meme now
so B-roll aside, why don't you report on the version you played ? if it was without flaws, it's only logical that release one will be either the same or better, no ?
I'm glad the developers didn't abandon the game despite its rough launch. This and the update 2.0 makes it worth revisiting Night City!
Edit: Comment section more happening than the war in Dogtown.
Yeah charging more money definitely made them the "good guys." I wonder if basic things like the NCART and flying cars work yet and not just mindless combat changes. :/
@@ionseven the update is free. The paid expansion is just the extra story missions and some new areas.
It's CDPR, they kind of didn't have a choice. But it's still technically worse off. It lost its massive MP spinoff, the rumored 2/3 xpacs, and probably tons of content that got thrown out because of the focus on actually finishing the game.
I can't wait for the big 2.0 patch but none of it is going to change the game's most glaring issues like how lifeless and wasty the open world is, especially compared to games like GTA which has its problem but man has a shitton going on around every corner which is why people keep coming back to it 10 years later.
Hopefully they learn from this mess...
@@ionsevenpeople will always find something to cry about
@@ionseven You're a ray of sunshine aren't you? 😂
My ps4 is ready 🔥🔥🔥
😂😂😂😂😂
Keep dreaming buddy, you need a next gen console to play
I dont think it is😂
Lmaooo
Your Xbox one?
Maybe, if possibly maybe - they could push 1 last dlc for this before doing a 2 might make the whole experience for the returning players really great again. The problem that we are facing (returners) is that we can still vividly remember the story through and through, and I genuinely hope I couldn't remember it anymore because I really do want to replay this game from scratch.
I can remember because it's not a super crazy story how can you forget the story is trying to get j.s. out of your head while taking down the corpos of night city
Thanks for a honest review.
I really got annoyed by the other YT reviewers I've watched the past few days.
After watching your review I'm actually doubting the other reviewers actually played the expansion at all.
I remember getting this game when it was Dirt cheap bc I really did believe they could deliver an improved version of the combat, happy to see and hear that they did. Patiently waiting yet hopeful and excited about what is to come in the future with a better engine to work with.
i played cyberpunk for the first time earlier this year and it was genuinely one of my favorite gaming experiences ever
same. in spite of coming short of what was show in the original announcement, it is an amazing unforgettable game.
thankfully didnt follow the prelaunch advertisement very hard so i didnt experience that same level of disappointment many people did @@tachyon2357
Don't be fooled. Cyberpunk was ALWAYS good... for people with a decent PC.
The VAST majority of the crappy bugs you saw was from people playing on last gen consoles. A decent PC with a decent graphics card ran Cyberpunk 2077 just fine at launch. Were there bugs? Sure there were, but no more than most other AAA release in the last 10 years.
People claiming otherwise are ignorant or simply lying. Of course, its possible to simply not like the game itself but that's personal taste and a completely different story.
All that said, I'm really looking forward to this new expac! It looks amazing!
i saw my fair share of hilarious bug montages on the pc version lmao@@SouthernGuy5423
@@SouthernGuy5423 same. I never had technical glitches or bugs. the game just worked.
The problem with Cyberpunk
Is the gameplay ...The game wasnt fun to play and it aint gonna be fun to play...
You cant sell me in on better graphics..or another city when the game itselfs never got me hooked from the beginning..
This is one of the greatest updates in game history. The difference is night and day.
I enjoyed this originally, dlc looks good, I’m just not spending 30 on it. I will be reinstalling to see what’s new though 👍🏼
I love the world of Cyberpunk 2077 and I can't wait to play the Phantom Liberty DLC! :)
I grabbed the game for $19.99 back when the game was largely panned. Still haven't started. Sounds like soon.
It's not the game I wanted from the start, but I think some choice mods to introduce a little more substance will make Cyberpunk feel like somewhat of a masterpiece. I'm looking forward to 2.0! And I'm def going to try out some survival mods, and whatever else makes the world feel more alive!
"Somewhat of a masterpiece." Lol
What, did you want more of a rpg?
@@bigzachfulYes, people wanted baldurs gate 3
@@wintermute8315 People wanted what CDPR marketed.
@@bigzachful Yes.
Maybe this overhaul will be what finally gets me to play through the game. The story telling is awesome but the mechanics were a little janky
It's worth it alone for the story, I'd give it another go. But obviously no rush
They did mention there was going to be a revamp to the controls a bit so I’m hoping so too. I loved the game but the camera sensitivity and aiming was so odd sometimes
If they added much needed life to the city (not just mindless combat changes and "insert famous actor" mocap) like fixing the NCART, more random encounters (more than 1 or 2), game world interactivity/reactivity, and some gd flying cars, etc then I might buy it.
The story was the only good part about the game, and by that I mean the core story. All the side quests and most of the companion quests were pretty boring or outright terrible, and few had any consequences.
The 2.0 patch should make it player it actually bearable though, and supposedly it gives the game an ending that won't piss people off by insuiting your V dies anyway post credits. Solid high 80s games I guess but man I'm glad people didn't give it game of the year as a freebie because it in no shape or form deserved it. Hard to believe this is the same studio that made Witcher 3.
@@CrystallineLore Yeah I am thinking I will mainline the story this time around. Last time I did a lot of the side quests and I didn't like many of them. Got about 15 hours in and gave up on it, but I did like a lot of what the main quest had going on (only complaint is they should have had like 5 quests during the introduction, instead of that lame montage with Jackie, would have been so much better to have the intro that they showed off as just a quick cutscene). Almost feels like there should really be another DLC made, which is more like a prequel, and fills in that gap of time.
I loved this game the first time around, and it sounds like I will love it now too!
I adore it as well
Yeah, it instantly became one of my all time favorites.
Me too but because I barreled through it like a COD. It reeeaaally was a lifeless city. If they added much needed city substance (not just mindless combat changes and "insert famous actor" mocap) like fixing the NCART, more random encounters (more than 1 or 2), game world interactivity/reactivity, and some gd flying cars, etc then I might buy it.
Because u are children
