I saw it’s 60% off on steam rn and was thinking about pulling the trigger finally lol
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
Short answer: It’s never been better, but make sure to buy the DLC as well. Worth every penny.
Why do we have to make sure to buy the DLC?
Yep, don’t hesitate, just do it, so long as your rig is capable.
Honestly, this thing is playable on lesser hardware now, even.
I mean, rasterized and at lower framerates, but it does work well enough to play. It’s missing the point a bit, because it’s an absolute looker on high end hardware, but still. The story is worth getting through.
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…).
Yes and no. The game is great and improved A LOT (especially on the technical front) but the sheer amount of updates poured into NMS by Hello Games is on another level (and I write this as someone who didn’t really cared about NMS).
If you’re interested but wary about its state then it’s definitely worth it - it’s better and there’s more of it than on launch. If you expect a completely different game however, you might end up disappointed.
Yes, you should definitely give it a go. The game has had massive content added, overhauls, etc. Gorgeous graphics, fun leveling system. I recommend a blind playthrough but at the same time there are some really wild fun builds out there if you’re looking for a certain play style.
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.
I only have it on PS4 so I can’t even get 2.0 + Phantom Liberty till I can afford a new gaming computer. Even using the old systems it’s such a great game.
The characters are very thoughtfully written, the atmosphere is top notch, and the themes of control and power are well reflected in the main plot and a host of side quests.
The neighborhoods all feel like unique parts of a whole, and the surprising verticality of the city makes it fun to explore, especially once you get legs upgrades.
Bikes are more fun than cars, so definitely be thinking of Akira and stick to 2 wheels when you can. Shooting people through walls or around corners is pretty fun, as is rebooting people’s eyes or taking over the heavy turret of some unsuspecting defenders.
The updaes and dlc aren’t available on PS4?
Im thinking of getting a slim or pro soon.No, just Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC. PS4 and Xbox One are stuck with pre 2.0 version of the game (no major gameplay rework or DLC).
That’s interesting. Thanks
Fuck me sideways if Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t one of the best, most immersive video game stories ever created.
One of the best games ever made IMO. I bought it at release and still regularly get sucked back into it.
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
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.
