Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

First playthrough of the DLC was amazing. Looking forward to the second one.

Waste of money. This weakens an otherwise alright game.

you're forced into playstyles which contradicts the freedom of characterdesign advertised in the first place. got stuck in a fight I can't win with my 3-digit-playtime-character. this makes the whole dlc unplayable for me and I have to return to an older save file.

Story wise, it's crap, that's the TL:DR. Wannabe spy thriller that blew it's budget on yet another too expensive big shot to function as a lure and then the guy is... ok, middle of the road, hell, there were more than enough less known voice actors, that wouldn't have cost you an arm & a leg who could have delivered just as well, but no, after Reeves you had to top it with Elba. La. Di. Da. And in the end it was all for nothing, which leaves a bitter taste in the mouth, but then again, we all know already that the story was utter garbage and we're just the Uberdriver for Silverhand, so nothings changed on that front. Gameplay wise, you get a plus plus (pun intended) for clearing up the senseless clutter, HUGE minus for the extraordinarily stupid idea of restricting Iconic weapons from mods and top it off with crafting being limited to Rank 5, when R5++, so two more ranks, are now the max attainable. If you want to try out a modded weapon, you'll have to find one randomly dropped and oh yeah, the Barghest Police has their own weapon class, for whatever reason. On a side note: Crafting can also no longer be used to gain infinite money, as components can no longer be bought anywhere and upgrades are prohibitively insane expensive, which is why I have resorted to cheating, cause after more than 1.000 hours, I no longer have the patience to farm the beach in Pacifica for hours on end. Final thoughts: If I had known what we're getting, I never would have pre-ordered Cyberpunk 2077. It was broken beyond belief, not just in bugs, from which I, as a PC player was largely spared, but in terms of criminally undercooked gameplay, horrid balancing and a very bad movie-esque main storyline that is a shame of epic proportions when you look at what they delivered just Prior (Witcher 3 with 2 excellent expansions and brilliant story telling). Add to that their proud proclamation to adhere to ESG and DEI from now on and we all know: CDPR is dead, it just doesn't know it yet.

本该五星，但是扣一星，因为李德线被大蜘蛛追着秒太吓人了！！！
