I did sink about 40 hours into cyberpunk after it’s release and had a good time but honestly the gameplay loop is so repetitive it just starts to feels so pointless after a while. I’ve tried to restart a couple of times since then and just don’t have the motivation.
I had a great time with it myself, despite many obvious flaws. It seems to scratch an itch that I’ve yet to find an alternative way to scratch!
Maybe it’s as simple as cyberpunk fallout? But the worlds texture (again despite it’s imperfections) feels more than just cyberpunk. The fallout comparison has other similarities too (apart from the buggy engine lol), I love the active and relatively expensive mod scene too.
I was definitely disappointed that the story felt a bit limited, but I’m looking forward to a new play through when the DLC is out, even if it’s another trainwreck.
I loved the anime too which makes me excited for my next play through, similar to how reading the Witcher books opened up a whole new lover for the Witcher 3, although there’s much less of a connection between the Cyberpunk game and the anime obviously.
Long story short, I can understand others frustration with the game, and I hope (perhaps naïvely) that CDProjectRED get their shit together with how they treat there devs. But despite that I loved it, and deeply hope they don’t abandon the franchise due to how badly the first release went. I must guiltily confess that it’s a real struggle not to preorder the DLC out of the vague sense that it’d count as a vote to stick with it. I won’t, mostly because corpos don’t work that way, and I don’t want to endorse the bad behaviour towards their Devs especially, but still.

Well most of the stuff is going to be a free update released when the DLC is
Head of marketing at CDPR eh. And he’s been in the role for 12 years eh. Guy has balls doing this interview I’ll give him that.
Let’s see how the expansion is… cautiously optimistic
Nah. I’m good thanks. Maybe on a 90% sale.
But I’m not going to RE-buy what it should have been in the first place. And it’s not going to be.
The update that overhauls the core systems is going to be free, the expansion being sold is the phantom liberty new story with the president and Idris Elba. Just saying.
Idk I got the base game on 50% discount a year or so after it came out I think. I honestly had a good time playing it. Like it for sure over sold and under delivered if you preordered it. Not to mention the buggy unplayableness of it at launch. But I feel like I still got my money’s worth.
And I’ll probably do the same thing with the dlc. If it looks like it’s being updated regularly to fix bugs then I’ll buy it later.
