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.

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

If you don’t mind, does it now match the advertising? I heard there were trailers with advanced features that were not in the actual game on release.

[-] Delta_V@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

I don't recall what all was advertised. Which features are you curious about?

[-] thrawn@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Darn, I was just hoping you would. I didn’t see any of the trailers or anything but heard that was the case. Stuff about NPC AI? Did cops used to just spawn in the vicinity of the player?

Honestly I was never really curious about the game until this thread, but I don’t have the requisite foundation to know what needed to be fixed. I’m sure I’ll find out eventually

[-] Delta_V@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah, at release cops would spawn in on top of you. One of the first patches changed that - now they spawn in far enough away that you don't see it happening. They're stronger now too. It used to be the case that an optimized character could win a stand up fight against MaxTac (the highest level cops sent after you when you max out your wanted level). Not so much anymore. You can still win a running attritional battle against them, but you can't just stand there and gun them all down before they end you.

Haha I wanted to buy it at release, but I usually wait a bit for things to iron out. Heard about the bugs, glitches and "lack of content" so decided to wait a few months...which somehow turned into years LMAO

[-] Delta_V@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Yeah, performance was pretty bad at first, especially on hardware that just barely met the minimum requirements - low frame rate and lots of crashes. The gameplay balance wasn't great either - there was one melee build that was particularly OP. The game is a lot more polished now than it was then.

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

Still has op builds (just get a sandevistan)

[-] revanite@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

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

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

[-] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago

Why do we have to make sure to buy the DLC?

Because it is wicked awesome ^_^

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

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

[-] dinckelman@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

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

[-] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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?

[-] ShadowZone@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I cared for the characters. There was some real emotion going on. Diving with Judy with "Pyramid Song" playing felt special. The Panam tank mind sync scene was bizarre but memorable because of it. The whole V vs Johnny Silverhand mind war makes you think about what really makes you you. The taxi AI side quest was quirky and fun.

And there is one part of Night City that's straight up an hommage to the iconic Ghost in the Shell scene where they stand in a semi flooded part of the city. Made me nostalgic.

It's not really an open world RPG though. It's more story driven and when the stories are told, well... not much else to do.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago

Didn't play long enough to get to "Pyramid Song," but given it's one of my favorite songs of all time, I might have to revisit the game if even just for that part lol

[-] Psythik@lemm.ee -1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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).
