I have the feeling that V's story really is complete and, given the ticking time-bomb in V's head, there's a limit to how much more this game could be expanded without completely destroying the suspension of disbelief . . . which is already strained by the open-world aspect of the game.

There were a few glitches here and there but I never found it to be particularly bad. I know this was not the experience of most, but it was mine. Anyways, I’ve been playing on and off since then and it’s been probably my favourite game in that time. This expansion has only made things considerably better and I am so happy!

[@Sekacnap_]

I haven't bought the DLC, but the 2.0 update has made this game way more fun for me. The new movement options have taken the game to a totally different level. You can jump cancel dashes and conserve your momentum by bunny hopping, it makes the game super quick and crazy. I feel like a real cyberpsycho as I'm jumping around at 100mph with my katana, sometimes slowing time mid-air to rain bullets on my enemies, tons of fun!

I love the cyberpunk world. I finished the game and all of the side quests and wished for more. And not just more quests, but more life. I want to see more shops opened, more npc types, make the world as big as it is with the level of detail it deserves. I wish they continued to make more content for this game as I believe despite its rough start, could be one of those games you play for years like a GTA5. I’m glad to hear they are making a sequel. I’m not sure why they need a sequel, since the cyberpunk world they’ve already created is awesome, but I’m just happy to hear they aren’t dumping this IP all together. I hope they take everything they’ve learned from CP2077 and make it better in every way this wild sci fi expects.

[@d.ml.g9902]

This universe created way back in the 80s by Mike Pondsmith, lends itself for sequels, spinoffs and whatnot. Gotta remember, this just one city in the future. There are places like the USSR, Neo-Tokyo, the Whole NUSA and even Texas is a country in this world. The amount of things they can do with the IP is inmesurable in the short term.

I've been with Cyberpunk since Patch 1.5, which was when I upgraded my PC; it was the first game I bought after that. I haven't yet played Phantom Liberty, but I've been blown away by the 2.0 upgrade. Everything is just so much smoother, and more logically designed…. I say that as somebody who has loved the game since I initially played it. Also, I had been concerned when the new system requirements were announced… but, not only is the game even more beautiful, but it runs even better than it did before…and I never had any previous issues, to be clear, (certain other devs should take note).

[@JamesMontellato]

Great video Jake; I played Cyberpunk basically right after launch on PC and must've had a unicorn experience because I experienced virtually no bugs and had a really enjoyable time with it. I stopped playing it to just make room for older games in my Steam account, however, with this 2.0 revamp and Phantom Liberty I might have to reinstall it and start fresh.

I think if you played on a good PC at launch, then the game wasn't that buggy. I had a similar experience - there were some bugs but mostly the game worked. Even though a few of the systems felt flat, the overall experience was really fun and engaging. Now I've been playing the 2.0 update and it really feels like a new game in many ways. Just now getting into the Phantom Liberty content and so far it's awesome.

After never touching a purchase for 2077 noting its terrible launch, Edgerunners was what brought me to make that leap of faith, and I actually loved my time with the game prior to 2.0. However, there were a lot of glaring issues still that stopped me from wanting to progress further. Now, that I've waited long enough, I'm so excited to dive back in, especially with the Phantom Liberty DLC. Plus, there's just something so good seeing the game embrace the combat improvements that make the game feel even more like an anime than it used to.

I played from launch, I had fun and I came back every now and again over time, I'm definitely going to start a new play through for this, great video thank you

[@pinkapollo5121]

As someone fortunate enough to have a 4090 and an I9 PC....Cyberpunk with path tracing and everything cranked to ultra, 180 FPS is the second most immersive game I have ever played, behind only RDR2, but is the single most visually stunning game I have ever seen...and my favorite game all time, which is CRAZY to me. Sometimes Ill unequip my weapons, press G to slowly walk around, and just fucking GAWK. I understand the launch was unacceptable, but they delivered boys, it took some time, but it happened. If it launched at 2.0, it would have matched most of the hype. Its not the RPG we were hyping it up to be, but its like a Fallout game meets the best far cry game youve ever played. 700 Hours In, will be playing this game on and off until Orion.

[@Rylands-Rhodecus]

This game is my favourite game of all time. Also Stella in the game is played by The Sphere Hunter in Phantom Liberty! Shes also Sasha's big sister from the Let you down Music Video from edgerunners. Also theres more edgerunners easter eggs in 2.0 in general! The perks has lil icons of the characters and go to the place where theres grave markers for a surprise

[@graxxor]

For me, Edgerunners was one of the most disappointing hyped tv "events" in the recent past. I just didn't match the atmosphere of the game and was even further from the original Cyberpunk 2020.

[@kulerthankule2350]

Already loved the game before 2.0 but now i love it even more, been enjoying the hell out of my new playthrough!

[@DarkUnity]

Love the new setting, interacting with Keanu again and just more story to play in Cyberpunk. I will say though there are things about 2.0 that I’m not 100% on board with though. I had some great mods on my clothing and weapons and now there gone and the guns just feel different (not good or bad different, just different). I crafted a lot so, that’s a huge change for me. I’m not sure if I’m wrong on this or my brain is getting confused with Baldur’s gate 3 and Armored Core 6, but wasn’t the crouch button in Cyberpunk a different button?

Great video as always, I have let Starfield cool a bit and started a new play through over the weekend of Cyberpunk.First time playing it on ps5, the dual sense triggers , game changer at least for me. The new 2.0 update really is fun, cops are hard to loose, perks are more substantial, overal great update. I personally can't wait for the DLC, looks great. As you can tell highly positive about this game, have liked it from the start, initially played it on the xbox series myself, one of my faves. :)

[@beezusHrist]

Not my roads

[@hyperspacecase1287]

Not my roads either. I accidentally side swiped a car and they gunned it, stayed right with me and bumped me right back before turning off. I almost hit an npc and they went hostile. That was in my first 30 seconds of driving.

I am very happy with where this game is at. I initially bought it on PS4 and gave up not too far in. I have been revisiting this after every major update and it still didn't hit. Finally, after 2.0 and on a PS5 I am very happy. I have had no performance issues, no bugs, no noticeable texture pop ins. I am actually going to get phantom Liberty because I want more!

Loved this game from the start and as Jake said it's progressively gotten better since it's release. I'm playing through a third time now and can't wait to get into the DLC. I have one question though. What the hell is that perk that has the enemies exploding because I've never seen that but it looks awesome.

I was waiting for the BYB because you're always honest with the reviews. The 2.0 update has been such a nice change to the game. I still think it lacks a certain "lived in" feeling and i'd love more casinos and just overall interactive points but the combat is a lot better now.

[@LittleFechtion]

After the update, in combination with the incredible mod community, this is one of my favorite RPG's to play. Tried it at launch and gave up pretty quick. Honestly what got me back was the Edge Runners series. After that I started looking into it again and saw they had launched a huge update. Been loving it ever sense. Just kinda sad it'll be a few years before we get another Cyberpunk game, but I'm sure I'll be replaying 2.0 and Phantom Liberty for a looong time. So excited!

[@stephenscott9200]

Were the 3 paths vastly different or not? I finished as Nomad with Panam. Thinking if I should just jump into the expansion or start from scratch

[@cleverman383]

@@stephenscott9200 I recommend playing as the opposite gender to explore the other romance options too, and to experience the alternate voice for V. It adds some good replayability. The paths mostly just add in different dialogue options, nothing too exciting other than some nice flavor to give you new dialogue paths and an occasional alternate solution to quests. That said, playing 2.0 feels like an entirely new game. Everything except the story has been changed how it works. I definitely think you should start from scratch.

Whatever CDPR does next I firmly believe a sequel should be it. They nailed the presentation, story, and lore, and now 2.0 brought the gameplay up to par.

thanks!

[@PluckingTheSun]

First off thanks to y’all for all the cool videos and updates. It’s seriously awesome and I look forward to these before you buy vids! I bought Cyberpunk pre-release on the Xbox One…. At that time I was transitioning to playing on PC which is now mainly how I play. I hate that I would have to buy the full game all over again JUST to be able to play the new update / DLC. Why 3 years after a release the game is now “complete/playable?” I loved the main story, but it’s tough as a consumer to bring myself to buying and playing it again after that initial trust is broken lol. Over the summer, to test the patches myself and for shits and giggles I redownloaded Cyberpunk on the Xbox One… and it unfortunately just didn’t change anything for me. I understand why project red gave up on old gen, but then why launch it on old gen in the first place then? Would playing it on next gen truly make my experience better? I’m sure it would a little different. But maybe not enough. Makes me sad. But I appreciate some of the good times from the original story!
