Cyberpunk 2077: My Review Of Update 2.0 Ahead Of Phantom Liberty

[@beige_projection]

I loved playing stealth in the base game. Yes, it takes much longer to finish missions, but it allows you to get more up close and personal with the game because you'll actually hear enemy NPC conversations that are connected with the mission or gig. Of course you won't hear them talking about it if you go in there guns blazing as they'll be responding to you instead. With that said, I recognize that most players will have the most fun playing this game with the builds that Paul mentioned.

[@scottcunni]

every game I play I seem to lean to stealth play.

[@mistermelancholy7698]

I always try to enter stealthily but half the time it goes guns blasting 😂 like you said though I'm more interested in reading notes even when sneaking.

[@just.a.jester8233]

​@@scottcunniMany games have stealth mechanics, but a lot of them don't work very well. After many hours of playing, this is the first time I haven't gotten bored of stealth gameplay and actively try to go back into stealth when it's broken

[@draysmusicalshtposts6340]

I went into cyberpunk near launch, having not really been on board the hype train at all. While noticably flawed, with my expectations not being in the stratosphere I really enjoyed myself. Excited to dive back in to try out the update and PL

[@mossicely]

same, i went into it on new gen PC hardware with no expectations of what the game was. fortunately that meant i didnt overhype myself or experience a lot of the bugs many other people did. became one of my favorite games of all time and put over a thousand hours on it since launch.

[@mossicely]

@@Clam_Chowder1995 dont understand how i stated my experience? im sorry if you had bugs, i didnt. nor did i go in with starry eyed expectations about what it would be. i dont understand what your problem is or the purpose of this comment.

I've not stopped playing cyberpunk in the last few months and just hit 100 hours on my save and still got new stuff to do. Very excited for PL.

[@TJBv12]

@whitmanmaleman as much as I'd recommend actually buying the game, i cant recommend the game enough, the modding scene is crazy on pc (I have like 150+ installed which introduces a little jank) and at its core the story is great with tons of characters and so much stuff to do.

[@pandagonerogue.140]

@whitmanmalemanas much as I was frustrated and annoyed by the early days of cyberpunk I can confidently tell you that it’s a great game now and it will be even better with the free dlc and phantom liberty of course

[@seffers4788]

It’s probably my favorite atmosphere in a game since bioshock and I thought nothing would ever come close. This game is unlike anything and I feel bad for those who’ll never experience it at its max. People that follow trends and listen to people on the internet/KZbinrs miss out on so much

[@Perjoss]

I loved the video, don’t get me wrong, but the highlight was when I noticed the Grogu in the basket

[@exysa2798]

So excited for Phantom Liberty

[@Isidore22]

After playing a lot of Starfield and Cyberpunk in the past, I am much more excited for Cyberpunk's expansion.

[@naterod]

It’s just a better game. Starfield is too safe cringy and sanitised. I dunno what it is but bethesdas VA acting always sucks. The industry has improved so much since 2011. Yet Bethesda hasn’t evolved at all. It’s very jarring

[@ItaAndyOfficial]

Starfield sucks ass. Doesn't feel like a Bethesda game at all. Cyberpunk blows Starfield away. Yes, different games, but since you added Starfield to the mix, I'll say, Cyberpunk is a way better game by a lot!

[@HeavyMetalWRX]

I played Cyberpunk at launch on PC. I know many people experienced issues... I had zero issues and I'm thankful of that. But even if I experience some issues, I felt the gameplay in the story were very good and I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I did run into the bug where the guys phone call would never happen, but besides that it didn't ruin or color my experience of the story and content. I felt like people really went hard on the hate for cyberpunk saying it was the worst game ever when I've played some pretty terrible games.

[@jphommahaxay5023]

People just like to hop on the bandwagon and feed into the negativity.

[@scottcunni]

I played on PC at launch and also had zero issues. like the other comment people just jumped on the hype train of negativity. they are doing the same thing with Starfield, another game I have had zero issues with.

[@JosieJOK]

I think it helps to have gone in without sky-high expectations. I knew nothing about the setting, never having played the TT game, and I missed the early game reveals that everyone seems to have expected the final build to be like. So I just went in expecting a good story on a par with that of the Witcher and some good gameplay and I wasn’t disappointed. The launch was, objectively, a clusterfuck, especially for those on last-gen consoles, but I have less bitter personal memories. I do think CDPR burned a lot of goodwill with that launch; it’s good that they stuck with the game and hopefully they’ve earned some back.

[@BahamutBreaker]

Cyberpunk 2077 in 2023 is finally the game that CDPR should have launched. The premature release was an unmitigated disaster. The game, though, in its 2023 state, is excellent.

[@gregorieschmitt5578]

I got Cyberpunk when it first came out when I had a Xbox One S and it was unplayable. I upgraded to a series S a few weeks later, but before all the patches and it was still not in great shape. A year later and now on a Series X - this game looks and plays amazing. A complete 180 from launch. Can’t wait for the update and Phantom Liberty.

Thinking Cyberpunk had worse shooting then Starfield even before this update is crazy.

[@beige_projection]

Right? I'm a long time Rainbow Six Siege player so I'm quite sensitive when it comes to gunplay, and Cyberpunk 2077's gunplay is really up there with the best, which is surprising since CDPR never made a shooting game before.

[@MinecraftManL]

Ikr, some of the higher level guns in SF feel okay but I'd even go as far as to say that FO4 gunfeel clears Starfield all day and most definitely cyberpunk, even on launch.

[@TeddyBearns]

Im really excited for 2.0 which i consider 1.0 full release. The way i look at launch cyberpunk was like we were playing a leaked alpha version of the game. What was even more disappointing is the original system requirements were essentially a lie. They had us thinking 10 series cards could run on high settings at 60fps when in reality my 1070 was forceably locked to 35fps on medium/low in which i had to switch to a controller since that was far too slow for me. Loved the story, characters and world but perk system and melee were always rough. I have a 4070ti now and have been patiently waiting almost 3 years for this playthrough. I will always be a fan of the lore and follow the franchise for life and I feel theyve done a great job rebranding and relaunching 2077 and improving the tech as well as the game

[@HoldenWitherow]

That was the best animated intro EVER

[@garyagentg]

Update 2.0 gives a more dynamic way to engage a melee fight with NCPD and Maxtac. But one thing I've noticed in every instance while killing off some Maxtac when you've evaded them and engage another V suddenly freezes. Your character is frozen in that position after killing a Maxtac unable to do anything until your shot dead by all the NCPD and maxtac on top of you.

I never fast travel in both W3 and CP77 so I know this a lot, but most of Witcher 3's open world is empty just forested areas, whereas in CP77, the city escape is just gorgeous.
