DRM, in fact without DLC there's already DRM with that My Rewards gimmick... -1*
Overhauled gameplay that makes the game pretty fun now, but still pretty much dead world -0.5*
Still trying to pull off the pre-order move... Really??? At least you put out reviews in advance (though let's not pretend these aren't biased lol) -0.5*
Play this if you like your run of the mill action movie in the veins of R* with glued on RPG flavor.
Over an hour in starting on DLC and I'm still being led round like a dog on a leash. Very cinematic but basically a corrodor shooter. I played the orignial during the scamdemic and it was better than this, bugs and spawning police and all.
First of all, a word to my fellow gamers:
Do you even know what DRM means? A launcher, as annoying as it is, is not DRM. DRM is stuff like "EasyAntiCheat", or the dreaded Denuvo crap many games bring on as well.
And the game, with Phantom Liberty, launched perfectly fine with no Internet connection, no CTDs or issues of any kind, i just tried it before risking myself to write this here.
Please, check your mods, eliminate them for the time being and do a Verify/Repair on the game files. And some of you... be honest. We all know why many of you chose GOG in the first place a few years back... it has nothing to do with launchers. It has to do with the possibility to "Buy once, give to 20 friends for free". I know, it was just too tempting...
Patch 2.0 and this DLC definitely made the game what everyone was dreaming about when it launched and i'm happy CDPR never gave up on it despite that historically botched launch.
Just be careful next time because the community is getting fed up with "launch now, fix later".
The way the DLC story is implemented is smart and with all the changes going on, it's more than a good excuse to start all over from scratch.
