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

Short answer: It’s never been better, but make sure to buy the DLC as well. Worth every penny.

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?

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.

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 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.

One of the best games ever made IMO. I bought it at release and still regularly get sucked back into it.

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.

Still wouldn’t be worth it, even if it was free.

• The lore is complicated and boring. They just thrust you right into the story without explaining anything. The game throws a bunch of storylines in your face all at once, everyone uses a bunch of fictional slang terms that you’ll have to look up, and you’re just expected to keep up. It feels like you just loaded into some random person’s save file after they were already halfway through the game.
• The depth of the RPG mechanics are surface level at best. Just pick the gun with the highest DPS then run-and-gun everywhere; you’ll get very far with this strategy alone. No need to even bother with stealth and hacking.
• There’s literally nothing to do outside of a mission; the city feels extremely lifeless and manufactured, like some Truman Show shit. The only thing worth doing is to play one mission after another.
• Despite what the devs claimed, none of your choices actually matter; not even the character class you pick has any effect on the story, other than a couple of extra dialog choices if you pick Corpo.

But it sure looks pretty. The only reason to pick up this game is to show off your 4090/5090. Stay far away. If you want a good, modern, Western RPG, Play Fallout: London instead (it’s free).

Edit: I just noticed that you posted this question in the Cyberpunk community (explains all the fanboyism in this thread). If you want more realistic answers, you should repost this question in a general gaming community, not a community that only fans of the game will visit…unless they so happened to just stumble upon this post on the front page of All (like I did).

Yes. Especially the systems 2.0 revamp combined with the Phantom Liberty expansion.

I am a pretty big fan boy though and have sunk a few hundred hours in to it since launch. The only place I’ve really experienced issues is on some PS5 builds and the Series S Xbox. Otherwise, it runs solid on PC across the board (Steam Deck, Gerforce Now, 3080 and 5080 desktop, 4080 laptop, etc…).

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

Fuck me sideways if Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t one of the best, most immersive video game stories ever created.

I’ve owned the game since launch, and re-installed it several times after supposed big, exciting patches. It’s still a shitty game. It’s more stable and less buggy but that’s about all that they’ve accomplished in 5 years. It’s still a hodgepodge of half-assed RPG systems, most of which don’t even need to be engaged with. The people in this thread saying it’s the best game ever seriously disgust me.

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.
