Whenever Gopher talks about his personal playthroughs it genuinely makes me feel like he lives in a world with more than 24 hours a day. Recording for the channel, live-streaming, his family, and also time for his own games. Bro has achieved a lot over the years in my opinion and that makes me so happy.

I played the game at release. I went through the prologue (Street Kid), rescued Sandra, met up with Jackie the next morning...then put the game down and didn't touch it again until December last year. Since then I have put in a little over a thousand hours into the game. It's probably the best game I've ever played. The story, the writing, the characters all have so much depth, it's incredible. I love the 2.0 gameplay (though I hardly have a reference point for how it was prior since I barely played it). No other game has been capable of delivering such fresh and organically grown psychological trauma and emotional damage like this, 10/10. Right now I've just started on Horizon: Zero Dawn (really enjoying it as well), but one day...I'll re-open Cyberpunk and decide...alright, just one more gig.

[@TKtheFightingRealtor]

I played it when it first came out and was able to look past the bugs and clunky ui because the writing and core gameplay was a lot of fun. I’m about to dive back into it and so hype for it

[@cnh7262]

Sure let's forget that CDPR hasn't released an update for Cyberpunk that didn't break or reintroduce bugs and glitches because the autosave glitch still happens to me along with healing bugging out and countless times npcs driving disappearing on me then reappearing and I still play but take 6 month breaks from the game because I still experience bugs and glitches

[@cicadasigil9471]

After finishing Cyberpunk several times I'm still keen to replay some more but what I'd really like is a Citizen X mode without the Citizen V story missions just an endless random missions mode and all the story gear for sale at the dlc vendor.

[@simonrockstream]

Fantastic video Gopher! Thanks for sharing this

[@MnemonicHack]

I don't play it a whole lot, just because I play a lot of other stuff, but the time I do put into it I love. I'll be playing it for years to come.

[@Tinywars]

One of the best games ever made and yet it's still not at it's peak.

[@mormegil231]

yes yes it is...and damn the expansion was great. The change in gearing and skills trees makes the game genuinely great. For me that was the most important improvements.

[@HaggisDruid]

I absolutely love how much the cyberware and perks complement each other. It makes way more sense to have cyberware function as the majority of your armor as well, it's serious body augmentation that replaces your literal organic body. I played through the whole game prior to these updates, and was uncertain at first about the changes, since it completely changed my build and I had to relearn the perk system, but it did not take long for me to love it.

[@weldabar]

Thanks for the review Gopher. I look forward to playing this game (after I get my rig above min recommended)

[@gothicllo1329]

Hey there! I stumbled upon your Kingdom Come: Deliverance playthrough, and I have to say, it's truly captivating! Watching you navigate through the game has inspired me to embark on a new adventure before Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 arrives. I never quite finished the first game; it's a common tale for me with games I enjoy-I get lost in the world, hunting for every little detail, and before I know it, I've strayed from the main storyline. The downside is, I often become overpowered, prompting me to restart the game anew, perpetuating the cycle. However, witnessing your playthrough has motivated me to approach the game from a different angle this time around, gotta try dont farming like crazy and play slowly, thanks for the inspiration.

[@DigitalVirusX2]

Also crafting is a lot better now except for the fact that (not including iconics) you can't craft rank 5++ weapons, which... kinda makes all those crafting specs you pick up useless, and the extremely expensive specs you can buy even more so. I for example just like the base Crusher shotgun, but I can't craft a 5++ version of it, so I better get extremely lucky and find one in the wild.

[@MysticLlamaMan]

Just started playing Cyberpunk again the other day after not touching since the first few months after launch and it's wild how much better it is.

[@Azurantine81]

I still haven't gotten round to Phantom liberty just yet and I really need to, looking forward to when I get the chance.

[@woolenthreads]

I played through recently with a netrunner and created a character looked like Johnny then finished with the Johnny ending. It was heaps of fun except for one spot where it glitched by having a bunch of sixth streeters attack me as I was walking past and not allowing me to target them.

[@beowulfschmidt6031]

It's going into my rotation when I'm done playing Skyrim for the 837th time. I'm rotating Elite Dangerous, Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Zombies, Baldur's Gate 3, and Fallout 4 VR right now. About a week at each of them, and then I switch.

I've platinum this game on my ps4 slim before the new years eve and doing all 3 lifepaths with different builds and after getting a good ass pc I've played it again three times with different life path and after the release of 2.0 and phantom liberty I've played it again 3 times with different build. When it comes to side quest, I really love the approach of CD Projekt Red where side quest have an impact or have an affect on other side quest.

I just bought it this morning. Really hoping it's gonna be fun.

[@vareos9874]

I still loved the game when it released despite all the issues because my hardware was decent enough to have a coherent experience with not too many crashes. But they really did redeem themselves a lot with the 2.0 update, so much so that for a long time it was an even bigger talking point than the dlc which itself is absolutely fantastic and my fav form of content from this game. All in all i am really glad with the improvements they have done for this game and it really shows because nowadays almost no one has anything bad to say about this game. and in 2020-2021 it was almost impossible to think we would reach that point given how the game was a complete failure in many peoples eyes and it would have been all to likely for them to never give it another chance and always keep that mindset. but the improvements just were that big, that it absolutely silenced even the last people that would blindly hate on the game after it redeemed itself. Cyberpunk now is one of my all time fav single player games and i am extra grateful that we have such a massive modding community keeping the game alive for years to come. well done cdpr.

[@VincentBranciforte]

As a pc player, we’ve always had mods to mitigate the worst annoyances. That said, when CP launched, i had a 1080 ti. I didn’t want to play CP unless i could play it at its best so i waited a year until i acquired a 3090. At that point, 1.3 was out and i thoroughly enjoyed my experience and i continue to do so on 2.1

[@CarlWheatley-wi2cl]

Good stuff Gopher. Also worth a mention is the modding scene for pc which has now bedded down and taken off. Particularly visual mods. Some of them are just incredible, provided you have the rig to handle it of course.

[@boredomblows5778]

Literally PC is the only platform to truly experience cyberpunk because modders literally saved cyberpunk

[@sonjaR2]

@@boredomblows5778 There are numerous excellent mods, I agree. However, in my opinion, mods simply enhance what is already a good experience. Some games are unplayable without mods; Cyberpunk, in its current iteration, is NOT one of those games.

I abandoned fast-travel quickly, because when traveling on your way to the next assignment, why fast-travel? With the metro, the closed the gap (pun intended) from walking - riding motorcycles and driving cars. Try nab one of the Behemoths and roleplay as a bus driver, I did just for laughs. Edit. I made multiple play throughs with different set-ups, the throwing knives was something I didn’t even think about before I tried it. Combine it with stealth and parkour, you need to try it. I personally like the look of Blue Fang, but there are so many many options. I think I spent around 3760 hours (rounding down, and no that wasn’t a typo).

[@ivanstrydom8417]

The combat and the diverse options to use for combat is thrilling. Assault rifles, Sniper rifles, pistols , Fight as a Samurai wielding a katana in melee and if you lose your Katana and Tanto , you have Mantis Blades to cut down your enemies whilst using complex netrunning and stealth to be a 2077 AD Shinobi. The lore and missions on Cyberpsychosis is gripping. The debufs/negative consequences of using too much cyber ware sounds sensational. I would love if you get screen jitters and ocular blur or light static when you creep closer to cyber psychosis. And even lose complete control and go on a murder spree whilst you are unconscious, and eventually, if you don’t rectify it… you succumb to the psychosis. I would love to be able to join/Work for the Trauma team, to go on several missions where you have to enter a hostile location, secure the area, find and secure the patient and safely exfil him/her via medivac. Some lower class(Cheaper package) clients, you just rock up, secure the area and stabilise the patients condition, then you can leave … just leaving the patient there. With the higher class/package clients, you enter into deep underground lairs to retrieve them, covering your squad as they carry them via stretcher to the medivac air ambulance, sometimes when the patient is loaded onboard , you can stay behind and continue with the mop up procedure or end the mission there. However some missions will have you get back into the air ambulance and accompany them to the MedCenter. Some very high priority clients whom have assassins after them will be a challenge to protect, even whilst in flight on they way to the MedCenter, your AV can get shot down, causing the AV to crash in unsavoury locations, surrounded by fiends, scum and the encroaching assassins. You then have to secure the patient and exfiltrate what is left of your team to a secure area for extraction, or if your coms are damaged in the crash, your team has to slog on foot a great distance , battling thugs, assassins, fiends and public riots of the discontent citizenry whom can’t afford such medical care (A lot of potential for grey / important decision making) eventually commandeering a suitable vehicle that can fit the patient and some of your team, with the mission only ending once you have successfully driven the vehicle to the MedCentre , overcoming multiple obstacles , with the patients alive at the hospice. Custom load out choices for the security and EMTs depending on what the situation is, plotting a route to get there in under 3 to 5 minutes. Joining trauma should enable you to get membership (and even Platinum-Coverage if you can afford it)...would be cool to be able to call in help when you know you will go down (or when you actually go down). You join the faction in the aims of working your way up to reach the best of the best in medical care , to hopefully find anyone whom can aid you with your..relic issue. Obviously your medical skills/perks will have to be high in order to join this faction. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqacfKuXlquqmrs I love that the game punished you if you get the worst ending. CDPR are just visionaries. ‘’Today is truly a historic day. Today, technology has fulfilled the promise left empty by religion. ‘’ The most striking line when you get the absolute worst ending in the game. The references to ‘’Silence of the Lambs’’, good music, all the call backs to the Matrix, ‘’The Cat’’...’’DeJa Vu ‘’,’’R.A.B.I,T,S’’, the edge of the Arasaka tower building,the red and blue pills, the second Net,the rogue AI’s and Johnny played by the legend Keano himself, such brilliance. The deep storytelling and character arcs are so refreshing, so good to see that proper storytelling is not completely dead in this decrepit modern age of the Woke feminazi cult. Takemura,Delemain ,Saul, all such deep, complex and alluring characters, not to mention the rollercoaster of a ride you go on with Johnny, a friend whom I’d take a bullet for. The branching choices and their differing consequences , leading to a diverse amount of vastly differing endings, is superb. I need a mod that adds Arney as a playable T800 Terminator in game!!! Please give us more. Only Arney can be more epic than Keano. Arney would be the most badass character in CP 2077. This game is a masterpiece. Well done and thank you CDPR.

[@desertmike680]

I live and breathe Cyberpunk 2077. Every aspect of the game to me is a homerun and I cant stop playing it. Also, the soundtrack is playing non-stop in my car and at the gym. It really opened me up to explore artists/musicians that write music within a cyberpunk genre. Lastly, some days when I jump on I dont even want to do any jobs/gigs. All I want to do is walk and drive around and embrace the sights and sounds of NC. Oh, and to hack vehicles too and cause some shit. Haha.

[@gadman85]

I need to get back into Cyberpunk again. I played it more starting with 1.33 (or whatever it was) and then I went to town on it with the Edgerunners update. Played different characters, actually finished the main story more than once, and tried different builds. Since then I've been waiting for CDPR to finish updating the game, since it seemed even the essential mods took longer to update than was usual for BGS games. I think they're pretty much finished with updating it now though. From the little I have played of 2.0+, I've enjoyed it but kind of miss how awesome the Cold Blood perk tree was, since CDPR took it out completely. It kind of felt like a group of bitter game devs took it out because "Gamers were having too much fun". It was easy to level once you used a point to first unlock it and melee builds (blunt, wire, or blade) were awesome as hell with it. Heck, even hacker builds really benefitted from it.

[@Spicy_wiener]

God, I hope we get a Gopher's modding series.

[@SledgeOfHouseHammer]

On my *fourth* post 2.0 playthrough. Besides the bugfixes, the perk/skill system is much improved. Skills should always be small bonuses and perks should be almost supernatural abilities. I'm glad they got rid of clothing upgrades and replaced it with cyberware upgrades. Changes to iconics are perfect.

[@tjviper1991]

My first playthrough was a little less than 1 year after the launch of the game so I was already spared lots of "inconveniences" (ahaha). I'm in the middle of another run right now and I see some nice differences. And I'm thinking of friends who had a day-1 experiences and were "a little bit" disappointed. I'm gonna convince them to play again and I'm so thrilled for how enjoyable the game will be for them (or so I hope 😉 )

[@thestellarelite]

I waited until this year to finally dip in. I was SOOOOO hyped for this thing I ignored all the marketing to not spoil and then that release was just ugh. I didn't even buy it. It was like here we go again wait 4 years for the studio to get their shit together lol. I don't even know the bad stuff since I didn't buy it at launch but I'm having a blast. I have to agree that driving around Night City blasting my house/electro is one of my favorite things. I'm excited to try all the different origins too I LOVE when games do that. The re-playability here is going to be exciting for the story as well as character building. Watching your video does seem like they dumbed it down and made it easier though. I wonder if the modding community will flourish and fill in those gaps. I love crafting and like it to be a challenge and meaningful but it does seem like you're constantly picking up truck loads of gear all the time. I don't even really care about iconics and most of them you can't mod. I"m still early on though so we'll see. Love this game and now I'm going to go play!

[@RagingDrew]

I've maybe done 3 playthroughs since 2.0 and an trying to talk myself out of a 4th. I love this game. 2.0 made changes I thought they'd not even consider, such as melee combat on a bike (not sure of hostiles can use anything other than guns on a bike though). Even if they drop the ball on the sequel, at least I have this gem for the rest of my life. All i want now, if they ever feel so kind is more fun side activities around the city. At least 2.1 delivered quite a few.

[@andymci3246]

it's hella fun, and still the only game where i'd deliberately spend 10 mins driving to an abandoned rocky ridge town in a mahir supron, just to test a new pistol out on some trash cans, game has such good armosphere.

[@libertylemonz7145]

The one single sort-of complaint I have is that I wish the clothing did a bit more. I don't mean that I want it to be like it was, where it was leveled armor and you had to dress like a gonk to get the best stats, but I what I do wish the clothing did was impact the roleplay and social elements of the game. If I'm dressed like a corpo, I want NPCs to react like I'm a corpo. If I'm dressed in rags, I want NPCs to give me grief for it. But most importantly, it would be super cool if you could disguise yourself as different factions, sort of like how you could in Fallout New Vegas. For example if I'm dressed up in Tyger Claw clothes I'd want TC gangsters to hesitate before shooting at me, or maybe not even notice me at all unless I got too close for too long or something. And honestly I do wish clothes had a little more impact on the game. I know some editions of the Cyberpunk RPG had an attractiveness stat or other, similar, stats which were often heavily affected by what you wore. I wish we had something like that in 2077. Kingdom Come Deliverance, if you've ever played it, does this quite well by having clothing and armor have all sorts of effects outside of just defensiveness, where fancier clothes will make NPCs assume you're of higher station but will also make you easier to spot and usually will be louder as well, so if you're running around dressed up as a noble NPCs will treat you like one but you'll also stand out like a sore thumb. Whereas if you're dressed as some peasant you will probably be harder to spot, but guards might assume you're a thief or NPCs might disrespect you. Something like that, but in Cyberpunk, would have been really nice. Having different sets of clothes for different things, like a set of fighting clothes, a set of sneaking clothes, a corpo set, a disguise etc., all would have been really nice. Overall I do like the changes, but I wish clothing still had a bit more of an impact on the game. Even if it was just the "social" side of things, rather than stats.

Literally the only downside to 2.0/phantom liberty, at least for me, is it made it impossible to play with rtx on on my 3070ti, the game has a lot more going on now and 8gb vram just isnt enough now and after around an hour of play (or 10min in Dogtown) fps slowly starts tanking, first to 50's then 30's and so on.

[@simplelife88393]

Do you have the dlss / FSR mod? I don't know much about graphics, but my 2080 RTX can run it at over 100fps with it. I don't use Raytracing though since it costs too much

[@elirantuil5003]

With the right mods and tweaks you can kind of get path tracing running on 8 gigs and look kind of dope at around 45 fps.

Yep Dogtown uses like 1.5GB more VRAM than the rest of the game. I have to turn off all raytracing when I go there (3070 here).

[@killean2645]

I love Cyperpunk 2.0 and overall it's definitely an all around improvement, but I do have a few gripes that stood out to me. 1. The level scaling for the skill checks. Why does some dinky little metal door require like 16 Technical when I am level at level 60, when 50 levels prior I could open it with barely any technical knowledge at all? It just doesn't make any sense. Especially notable in the Brendan quest, which will forever sit in your quest log because the only way to complete it is by passing a scaling skill check. So, if you do the Judy quests too late and haven't invested in Body, you are softlocked out of the quest. It's the only quest that locks you out of completing it if you don't have the specific skill. Wasn't a problem previously, because the skill check was low enough for every build to pass it (with Gorilla arms if need be), but now you are SOL with too low body. And unlike every other quest that has alternative solutions for skill checks, in this one this is the only way to progress. 2. Non-moddable iconic weapons. The game throws mods after mods at me, but the iconics - the only weapons worth using 99% of the time- cannot be modded. What's the point of mods? I know there are these "X-mod" iconics that can be modded, but those don't feel as powerful as the actual iconics with unique effects. Plus, there is this one iconic weapon mod you get in the beginning of PL, which just sits in my inventory the entire time because I can't apply it to any of my weapons. 3. This one is just a bit funny to me: In 1.6 they added the wardrobe. Finally you can wear your best gear without looking like a total gonk! Then, one patch later (which granted took one year), they change the entire equipment system and the wardrobe is now completely useless, because you can just wear whatever you want now, because clothes (basically) give no stats now. So now the hyped up wardrobe feature sits there, never to be used again. What a waste of a feature.

I love cyberpunk 2077 and I was caught up in the hype about it leading up to the release, but the games initial flaws/errors help to damper spirits. but I'm a patient gamer-I figured they would improve things over the course of many hotfixes and patches- and sure enough they did.. so i waited while playing other titles.. I just would like to see cyberpunk have evolution at the end of each play through- Lately i've been impressed with the idea that a game world can evolve with the completion of each play through- and you keep your character progress from the previous run, in through the next run.. and get even better gear.. like Assassin's Creed Odyssey- your first playthrough only gets you to level 30 or 40 depending on how many side quests you finish- then the game asks you if you want to play again but this time the world is adapted to your level as you progress on up to 100.. too bad Cyberpunk didn't go that route.. having said that it's also nice to have the feeling of 'game completion' for once.. eh? it's satisfying, but also sad because you made up a really awesome character and build by the time you are ready to do the final mission and then you have very little time to use your awesome character... what's the point of building an awesome kick ass character just to use it for the final mission- then that's it credits roll and you have to do another play through... it just seems to be a bit of a lackluster...

[@fragr33f74]

Man, i love 2077 so much. I cannot wait for the next game, and I hope CDPR build on EVERYTHING they've leadng.

[@unbeatable009]

had cyberpunk 2.0 been 1.0 meaning if it was like 2.0 at launch trust CDPR would've reached heights no other developers ever has ever had, like Ubisoft boasting about their game being a AAAA game if LOL if 2077 was like this at launch it already wouldve been a legit AAAAA game

[@TizerisT.]

why a review of 2.0 and not the whole package?

[@GophersVids]

2.0 is the version of the game. I'd already reviewed 1.0, so this is updating what I said in that review to reflect the changes that they made. See the video description for the older videos.

[@tjviper1991]

[@GophersVids]

100% agree :)

[@ionseven]

Red Engine is just incredible, but after seeing UE's recent on-the-fly development tools I can understand why CDPR is making the switch with it possibly saving them on long development times. Todd Howard should take note.

[@mara_jade021]

NO. Except you dont want mod support. With unreal you wont have creation tools to modders so the big immersive quests and total conversions wont be here. Mods in Cyberpunk are a shadow of what you can do on a bethesda game.

[@ilias856]

@@mara_jade021 Lmaooo the engine's modability is not in the slightest an indication of quality. RED engine is universes above the Creation engine in almost every way, especially visuals. Also if you look at the difference between Witcher 2, Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 it speaks volumes to it's upgrade potential.

[@mara_jade021]

@@ilias856 No mods not The economy and system Bethesda has since Morrowind. People still modding actively. No sane company will waste people playing and buying a game in their engine with no having to pay licences... To pay a big percentage to another rival... And loose ALL modding support. It is the equivalent of Hire Kennedy by Disney. Quality without mods is something no single Bethesda games fan will accept ever

Hopefully by time witcher 4 comes out ue5 is better optimised

[@Kenny-yu6gc]

My only distaste for the game was its linear story with its meaningless faux decisions where the only impactful choice came from which ending you wanted when Johnny asked, and even then you could easily roll back to that save and see the other endings back-to-back. The only thing replayable about the game was to playthrough the game again with an entirely different build, and you'd probably have more fun doing gigs back-to-back leveling your character than engaging with a story with no branching paths. You keep doing gigs repeatedly until you hit max level and get the iconic weapons, cyberware, and build you want before calling it a wrap and forgoing whatever is left of the story that you barely touched. If you're coming back to try 2.0 and wondering what build to try, I wouldn't recommend a body and gorilla arm build because it gets very boring half-way to max level because all it involves is you charging down every enemy and throwing punches until they d_e and mix in throwing some enemies which you'll repeat till they're all de_d. The only builds that stand out and imo be cooler would be a reflex and cool build or a netrunner build.

[@GophersVids]

*"My only distaste for the game was its linear story with its meaningless faux decisions"* - I cannot think of a single game that doesn't apply to though. Maybe WItcher 2, because there is a choice that actually dictates an entire third of the game. But outside of that, I can't think of many. Maybe Vampyr too. But even that game has a linear main quest. I mean Witcher 3's ending comes down to 5 dialogue choices. Everything else is a "meaningless faux decision".

[@kaushalsuvarna5156]

I would like to differ, the grind added to the atmosphere, now the OP builds and fun gameplay creates a dissonance with the mood of the base game, this is too much crowd pleasing IMO

[@jordick8427]

Waiting for the -75% Steam sales before buying this game again. (bought it back in day-1 --> refunded it on day-2) As much as I would like to applaud CDPR for sticking with CP2077 and not abandoning it, I absolutely hate the "Release it now, Fix it later" -mentality that they went with with this game. Prior to CP2077's launch they marketed that they'll "leave greed to others", but what do you know, they succumbed to the greed anyway while spewing sweet lies. I don't know. Maybe I'm still butthurt, because CDPR was supposed to be the shining beacon in the gaming industry. But then they fell on the same level as the likes of EA and Ubisoft, and released the game in piss poor state while being fully aware what community's reaction would be. Greed is an powerful and addictive drug. CDPR has already tricked us once before, so it will be only easier for them to do it again on their next game.

[@cyberninjazero5659]

The game is much more of the Grand Theft Deus Ex it should've been at launch. There are still flaws like the lack of reactivity compared to the Witcher series and ambush/forced combat missions (which undermine the Deus Ex-like gameplay), the loot system, while massively improved, I still think would've been much better if it dropped the entire tier system, I'd prefer that because I think a Fallout approach of "Weapon A is this strong and Weapon B is that strong but you can add suppressors and scopes if you want" is innately better than a loot treadmill. But overall, it's a very good game. I hope the sequel they're making addresses all of the above points, I'm fairly certain the first one will be, I think they rely too much on the second in the quest design to drop it. The third one can go either way but I'll hope for it

[@wibisana6440]

There is not much reactivity in witcher 3. Cyberpunk now is much more reactive with gangs can chase you in open world based on your choices in previous missions.

[@cyberninjazero5659]

@@wibisana6440 Witcher had a lot of choices and consequences. There's obviously the part in 2 where Act 2 changes heavily based on the end of Act 1 decision, but even in smaller ways like how in Act 3 releasing the spirit to defeat the Witches leads to a village being massacred. I remember someone made a whole comparison list back when Cyberpunk came out.

[@CrazyxEnigma]

By reactivity are you referring to how you resolve quests and such or are you referring to the world itself?

[@SuperRomanHoliday]

When I tried it the story seemed really childish, this vid makes me want to try again for sure

[@Mister_Skar]

Couldn't agree more!

[@eikestolze9109]

You haven´t tried Phantom Liberty? Seriously? PL is even better than the base game in every single aspect. Missions, side characters, main story, atmospere, equipment. Simply brilliant.

[@GophersVids]

I am doing a separate 'review' for that. This was just an update for my 'reviews' of the base game with 2.0+ patch.

[@Sengial]

Cyberpunk 2.0 with Baldur's gate 3 level of decision making would make the literal perfect game for me

[@herptim]

The answer to the question whether the game is what was promised to us in the demos is "yes"? Come on Gopher get a little bit real...

[@GophersVids]

I have no idea what was promised you in demos. I don't follow these games or the developers, and any rumours or hype I hear in advance I tend to take with a grain of salt. They talk about what they want to do, what they intend to do etc. Talk to me when they talk about what they've done and are releasing as a fully fledged game :)

[@deleriumslayer4931]

No crafting? No Buy, Buh Bye :)

[@PuppetMaster-Blade]

Huh??.. there is crafting

[@GophersVids]

There is crafting, it's just no longer a mindless soul crushing grind that requires huge amounts of investment in your character build only to then waste all that obsessing over creating increasingly silly items that really don't do as much as you'd hope.

[@chaserseven2886]

Haha! It took a while

[@kumbi8368]

As someone who has never played Cyberpunk before…. I have waited years for this day!

[@mercenarytao2524]

Iv tried it by now like 4 times after every few fixes and updates and i still find enough problems to ruin my fun.. one of them being the worst driving i have ever experienced. How in the world are cars in the future so impossible to drive ?? it feels like ur on ice all the time and when you try to turn the car just spins around its own axis. Hope that one day they can fix that too.

[@GophersVids]

Try driving slower and being more conservative with throttle application. eg. If you begin to slide in a rear wheel vehicle drop the throttle whilst applying opposite lock, and don't try to accelerate until you feel the rear end settle. On 4 wheel drive you have more control and the throttle can be applied during opposite lock, but again, be conservative with it until you get used to the car in question. And assume each new car will require you to sort of relearn. Other tips: If you get understeer, lightly tap the handbreak, but in most other situations avoid breaking whilst turning. Lift on the throttle when approaching junctions and look for cars coming across and be ready to break. When in the city, you kind of have to drive like your in a city rather than on a race track. But in the badlands, you can go nuts :) Oh, and adjust your speed for the road surface. Some dusty roads are like ice at high speeds even when in a car that normally handles the badlands roads brilliantly.

[@dezzdinn]

game is good but jesus there's a endless f'n yapping in the beginning. It turned me off for a little while. You need like hours of time just to get through talking of the heist mission in arasaka tower.

[@Kakarot803]

And yet still no new game plus 😒

[@GophersVids]

It would be sort of pointless I'm afraid. Even on the toughest difficulty, the game becomes somewhat easy around level 30, and trivial by level 40-45. Starting a new game at lvl 60 would just make the entire story insane as realistically nothing in the main story would happen. When you klepped the relic, you'd probably just murder Smasher, Takemura and all the Arasaka males as you strolled out the front door with the Relic unharmed. And even if Dex panics and tries the same crap, and somehow his man caught you off guard and knocked you down for a second, the bullet from Dex's pistol would just mess your hair up right before you mangled them both into a variety of mismatched chunks ..... on second thought.... I WANT NG+!!!!!

[@GophersVids]

The story is unchanged. None of the actual content has been altered. This video is a review of the 2.0 update :) But to save you having to go to the other video, the story is absolutely brilliant.

[@DeaddMax]

I've played in 1. version and I've been playing now with 2.12 version and I do agree that the game is much better, so many systems are more interesting and are fun. With that said, I'm still not certain if the technical state of the game is good enough. I've experienced quite a lot of crashes, very noticeable bugs, problems with saving and general lack of polish and QA (Hello floating objects) and of course absolutely abhorent driving. What it comes down to is...while the game is in a somewhat acceptable state, it is not good enough to put more money in it aka get the Phantom Liberty DLC no matter how much other people might hype it up.

[@GophersVids]

Was the crashing occuring when you used dash as a way to travel around quickly? If so, I had that, but it seems to be fixed now.

[@Kaethena]

To sum up 2.0+... they've taken most of the Tabletop out of it.

[@Mrchair905]

Cyberpunk is one of the best rpgs to come out in a while, CDPR’s dedication to the game really comes through in this world. Night City is now one of my favorite locations in a game, period. Plus the devs are massive anime nerds, which I am as well, and put sooo many great Easter eggs everywhere that it just makes the player have even more incentive to actually explore everywhere.
