One of the best games in existence

Yes it's cool but if you decide to buy go to gog, you could buy deluxe edition(game + dlc) for 44€ or half for each
I bought it when it was in same last time and even if it's true that RPG elements are limited and you get far by running and gunning, using your hacking skills does make it easier.
I generally tend to not finish games since I get bored at some time. Cyberpunk is one of the few games that I actually finished. So I would recommend it.
The game is one of the best games ever at this point. I recently played it through the second time (the first time on release) including Phantom Liberty, and I can say it's a masterpiece. I usually don't play a game twice, I didn't even play RDR2 or TW3 a second time. But I'm quite sure I'll play it again in a few years.
Plus you won't get a Cyberpunk world like this in any other game, I guess GTA VI will bore me at this point.
Best game I own, it always was even with the bugs. The worse thing happening was the T pose/jesus pose when driving back then. It always was playable.
I'll up that even: all updates which fixed bugs also added some yankiness on other parts which where perfect in v1. 0.
The problem these days is you can't trust reviewers. You also cannot trust forums filled with 10 year olds who debate with bots. You can only make up your own mind.
Same goes with the latest assassins creed game: lots of bullshit going around now but gaming is not politics. Its a f-ing game. If you liked previous assassins creed stuff you'll probably like this one too. For the record: I never did like them.
Starfield really is meeeeeh though.
You can like the game but please stop with the revisionism of it was always playable. When I first played it I could not get through the first non tutorial mission because there was no ground. after restarting the mission just would not progress. It launched in a horrible state on PC I can't even imagine what it was like on consoles.
I would say definitely worth a try. I loved the story and the lore and the world building more than anything; and sadly there are elements of it that are becoming more and more relevant and possible nowadays.
Fuck me sideways if Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t one of the best, most immersive video game stories ever created.
To the folks recommending the game, can I ask you a question? Not trying to antagonize, just curious:
What makes Cyberpunk click for you? I played at launch, wasn't really enthralled, and refunded. I later grabbed it on sale + Phantom Liberty DLC, played through the main story and half of the DLC, and it still never clicked for me. I wasn't entirely bored, but there were so many moments where I felt like the game world didn't really care what I did unless I was playing a main mission.
What are some things I can try in Cyberpunk to see if it clicks for me?
I cared for the characters. There was some real emotion going on. Diving with Judy with "Pyramid Song" playing felt special. The Panam tank mind sync scene was bizarre but memorable because of it. The whole V vs Johnny Silverhand mind war makes you think about what really makes you you. The taxi AI side quest was quirky and fun.
And there is one part of Night City that's straight up an hommage to the iconic Ghost in the Shell scene where they stand in a semi flooded part of the city. Made me nostalgic.
It's not really an open world RPG though. It's more story driven and when the stories are told, well... not much else to do.
Didn't play long enough to get to "Pyramid Song," but given it's one of my favorite songs of all time, I might have to revisit the game if even just for that part lol
The main mission, the story of V, Panam, Judy and Jhonny. They are full of great moments. If I'm honest the open world is a meh/10.
Gameplay got quite a bit better when I installed the realistic damage mod, though it might not be for everyone.
It's a good game. I replayed it a lot throughout its lifetime and wouldn't say they pulled an NMS or even some redemption arc, but they definitely fixed a lot of it, at least compared to 1.0-1.2, and they even reworked some systems. The storyline and sideplots have largely remained the same (thankfully) and they also added a pretty good DLC with a nice thick plot (albeit somewhat disconnected from the game).
Edit: It's fairy processor-heavy, you'll need a contemporary CPU.
This game has easily made my top favorite game ever. I know it's not the open world they promised. But what they did give us absolutely amazing.
Also watch the anime you'll be more invested in the game. But it's definitely not required to.
Yes, they actually did. Super super fun RPG now, and the story is still world-class
Yes, you should definitely give it a go. The game has had massive content added, overhauls, etc. Gorgeous graphics, fun leveling system. I recommend a blind playthrough but at the same time there are some really wild fun builds out there if you're looking for a certain play style.
If you're thinking about it this long, you should do it. With the DLC. Game isn't everything CDPR promised, but it's a lot of fun and one hell of a ride. Absolutely worth it in current state.
I only have it on PS4 so I can't even get 2.0 + Phantom Liberty till I can afford a new gaming computer. Even using the old systems it's such a great game.
The characters are very thoughtfully written, the atmosphere is top notch, and the themes of control and power are well reflected in the main plot and a host of side quests.
The neighborhoods all feel like unique parts of a whole, and the surprising verticality of the city makes it fun to explore, especially once you get legs upgrades.
Bikes are more fun than cars, so definitely be thinking of Akira and stick to 2 wheels when you can. Shooting people through walls or around corners is pretty fun, as is rebooting people's eyes or taking over the heavy turret of some unsuspecting defenders.
The updaes and dlc aren't available on PS4?
Im thinking of getting a slim or pro soon.
No, just Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC. PS4 and Xbox One are stuck with pre 2.0 version of the game (no major gameplay rework or DLC).
That's interesting. Thanks
Yes and no. The game is great and improved A LOT (especially on the technical front) but the sheer amount of updates poured into NMS by Hello Games is on another level (and I write this as someone who didn't really cared about NMS).
If you're interested but wary about its state then it's definitely worth it - it's better and there's more of it than on launch. If you expect a completely different game however, you might end up disappointed.
Yea I don't mean perfectly like NMS, just in a more general redemption arc kinda sense lol thanks!
Don't mind me, I just tend to be overly specific to avoid misunderstandings.
And then often get misunderstood anyway, amirite?
Less than you'd think, actually. Granted, I don't really interact with controversial topics and I try to clarify my position if necessary but over all my experience on fediverse was rather positive in this regards. Even more heated replies from people turned into neutral or friendly conversations when I responded calmly instead of raging back.
If that doesn't work and someone does misinterpret my words (purposelessly or otherwise) then that's on them. There's only so much one can do about these things it's not really worth worrying about.
It’s unironically one of my favorite games of all time. They ironed out a ton of issues, and the expansion patch on its own transformed a huge portion of the game. Strongly recommended
I've played it through twice. I've never been one to circle back on games. I am considering a third run-through
Yep, don’t hesitate, just do it, so long as your rig is capable.
Honestly, this thing is playable on lesser hardware now, even.
I mean, rasterized and at lower framerates, but it does work well enough to play. It's missing the point a bit, because it's an absolute looker on high end hardware, but still. The story is worth getting through.
My laptop manages playable fps with steam deck settings on the Intel arc igpu (ultra 155H, so the 8 core version)... So its absolutely accessable on lower end hardware now!
