I played this game on release day and had no issues with stability, but now it's that much better than it was. It's a special game, but after playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 and 2, it makes you realize that Cyberpunk 2077 could have been so much more than a looter shooter. A missed opportunity to make a truly immersive experience with interesting immersive systems.
Secondly, CD Projekt Red has not implemented AMD's FSR 3.1 in a responsible way. It is the worst implementation I have ever seen, and FSR 4 needs to be implemented properly now that the 9070 XT is out (and popular). People are using Optiscaler to make this game playable, but CD really needs to behave like a professional company and implement FSR 4 in a timely fashion.
The DLC is absolutely awesome and I would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the ending.
Spoilers ahead!
-------------------
I know the "There is no happy end in Night City"-phrase but it seems there is also one that's called "There is bad writing in Nicht City".
Also got the feeling that this is a middle finger to all people who wanted a satifying/happy ending because this just says "You want V to survive and drive with her love into the sunset? How we just take you everything for V's life?"
I mean she fought on the edge of her death for all those people and they treat her like shit and say "F' off"? Really? Also why the sudden did V forgot how to use a phone or to type and MAYBE be a bit more clear about her situation without telling too much? This was just bad writing and being mean to the player for the sake of being mean. That hast nothing to do with the "Cyberpunk always has to have a catch" trope.
Remember Blade Runner, Deus Ex or Ghost in the Shell, maybe not having the super happy ending but they didn't feel bleak and just asked the simple question, what it really means to be a human. Here all of them are just super assholes at the end to V for no reason.
This DLC was so good and this ending nearly destroyed it instantly. For me personally a terrible way to close this chapter of CP...
Started a new game and saw some changes (I think) but on my lategame save the game just breaks immediately, i cannot install cyberware i cannot upgrade cyberware etc. whenever i do such a think my cyberware stat goes up but my cyberware vanishes amongst other bugs.
cars still suck, ai in the game still mediocre, it seems like we have a Bethesta 2.0 on our hands with CDPR cause it feels like a massive downgrade from what the game was earlier and thats sad.
Still contemplating on wasting 30€ on the DLC or just wait for a 5€ sale cause why support this...
This game is as good as Witcher 3. I waited several years before playing this game, and start playing CyberPunk when version 2.x came out.
This game is soooo good.
Don't believe the haters, you have to buy this game. The sound track is dope, the guns are dope, the gameplay is dope, the fights + the music during fights, makes you want more and more.
This is the best game released since Withcher 3.
Honestly, I thought this game would have a 50% chance of being shitty, but its 100% dope. Like Witcher 3, this game is made for adults. You can fuck, take drugs, kill anyone brutually, and every side quest is memorable. The game whizzes by and makes you want to be a completionist because its so smooth, hard to explain.
I'd say its on the level of Blood and Wine DLC from Witcher 3.
I recently played Starfield and Baldurs Gate 3, both of which are RPGs, and both of which were highly anticipated. I have to say, CyberPunk + Phantom Liberty is a different class of game than those 2 highly regarded games from this year.
The universe is so immersive, you'll find yourself picking up street slang from the game, like Choom, or Gonk.
If any player is on the fence, because they heard cyber punk was buggy, now is the best time to jump in. This game is not gold; its platinum. I'd say its a hidden gem, buried by early ratings.
Probably the best thing about this game is the immersive game enviroment. Its deep and memorable, like Fallout 1 and 2, and Witcher 2 or 3
CD Projekt Red is now on the level of oldschool BioWare with this RPG.
I thought this game studio had gone bust, because I read all the negative reviews, and wondered how they could have blundered so bad, but this game, in my opinion, is one of the best games ever made.
A little about me: I've been playing PC games since the DOS days, like Doom, Duke Nukem, and back when "demos" were a thing. I've played A LOT games, lol...so consider this stellar review a rare thing from. Buy this game damn it. lol You'll love it
Lets Start with 2.0 update
City finally feels more alive
Talent tree finally is not confusing mess, but very transparent and you will get lost in it
Combat system after a update took a time to adjust to it but it is amazing
NCPD are now big threat if you try them
DLC Phantom Liberty
First I was very sceptic but that dissapeared the moment you get to know new characters and their stories and motives what they have.
Dogtown as a part of city is really amazing, it is not your regular NC part of town
Amazing storyline which is adding new ending for V in the end.
New gigs, cars, new enemies.
Yes, there are still bugs and issues from time to time, but nothing what would destroy game
