Holy shit, we can now listen to the radio in our heads!
It always baffled me why we couldn't do that when we have our entire phone in our heads in-game.
That's one thing that's always confused me. Do we actually have the phone in our heads or is it just immersion? Cause NPCs are shown using phones like we have today.
My personal lore is that those were poor NPCs, using old tech. Or people who refused to do an implant because there anti aug.
In the tabletop game which takes place in 2040 there is an option for an internal agent that is part of your neuralware suite and an upgrade for your cybereyes to add a heads up display.
Presumably 30+ years later the tech should still be available if not improved on.
Once again showing that the game was rushed and incomplete at launch. I'm happy that the features are here but I really wish they had delayed it so we could have had some of this at launch.
Don't get me wrong, love the game!!
So is it worth buying now? I held off, as you do, since the release was so poor but I really wanted to play this game. Much like No Man’s Sky, I’m willing to forgive the faults of the release if they made it right eventually.
Definitely. It's my 4th most played game on steam. One thing people oddly don't mention often is how fun the combat is. I feel like a bug from starship troopers when I use Mantis Arms in melee. Just a fountain of blood with limbs flying in random directions.
After finally uninstalling the game yesterday following 285 glorious hours of genuine fun, I'd say absolutely play it. It's even better on PC too, with a thriving mod scene that's adding all sorts of cool stuff (they implemented the metro system well over a year ago, though I'm sure the new one will be better), the customisation really makes it your own.
Couldn't recommend it highly enough. Cyberpunk 2077 joins the Witcher 3 on the highest shelf of my favourite games of all time.
I waited about 6 months after launch and it was worth at the time. Now? It's so much better.
The juice is absolutely worth the squeeze
You can still tell stuff is missing but it certainly isn't a raging garbage fire anymore.
I'd still say wait for a sale, but the city is a lot more interactive now, cops will engage you and if you want you can test out new cyberware builds on them immediately with GTA style "fight and then escape the cops" gameplay.
Shit gets rough fast but it's nice that you can actually do it instead of just getting instantly ganked by Maxtac because they spawned behind you three stories up on a rooftop after you just used a silenced sniper rifle to shoot someone two blocks away.
That's pretty impressive. I love how they're adopting the metro mod wholesale.
And the pocket radio mod
game has trains now
10/10, 100/100, all time best game
Well, we had it in the first big trailer, and years in we have it in the game
Wow, its almost as if the game is finally, with its final update, where it should have fucking been at launch.
Should I buy it now?
The 2.x series is a different game than the 1.x updates. It's more action-oriented, so if that's your thing - absolutely. It's rock solid, I've played hundred of hours with tons of mods without crashes and major bugs.
The story is stellar, just like it always was.
I'm so happy to see people recommending this game now. I've kept faith in CDPR the whole time and actually really enjoyed the game at launch. Everyone seems to forget how much of a shit show the witcher 3 was at launch now it's considered one of the best RPGs of all time.
Played through on ps5 around 2.01. It still crashes for me but very seldom.
Absolutely worth it. Incredible game.
Oh shoot, public transport!? Finally...damn, bless those hard working game devs.
Yeah, it always felt very American to have a highly populated area and you just drive a car around.
Yay! Now, as soon as it hits 80%ish discount on Steam, it's a purchase!
Witcher 3 routinely dips down to like $5 these days, so if you're willing to wait another 10 years or so you can really get a killer deal!
Glad I've cleared Smasher's fight now that it's harder - must have tried 10 times before finally killing him (felt good, too)
As a person who hates bosses (for me they break immersion being almighty bullet sponges and also stifle the game), I'd like to see them introduce a switch to turn him into a normal regular enemy instead.
Was frustrating to have to face him every time for every ending
Anticipation of the fight prevented me from finishing the game... Just did side quests until the next game got my attention
I ended up killing Smasher over and over to move further with the endings, but it didn't bring me much joy - was rather a big annoyance that I already anticipated.
Are they going to continue to add more to this game with updates or DLC or is this it? I haven't really paid attention to it I've just heard it's no man's sky all over again so I wanna wait until it's fully done before I buy it.
This is pretty much it. I recall hearing the devs say they're going to finish up some minor updates post-Phantom Liberty before calling it a day. I'm surprised they even came out with this.
Once they officially call it quits with CP77 soon, they will complete a currently ongoing reorganization of the company: RedEngine will be abandoned in favor of UE5, devs who want to work on Witcher 4 will remain in Poland to do that (many have already started apparently). Devs working on the next Cyberpunk game will follow Pawel Sasko to Boston and open CDPR North America, starting work on that game there.
Finally, a game where I can listen to the radio out loud while riding the bus! I feel seen!
Motorcycle wheelies and stunts? Yee-haw!
Very excited to get my hands on this. 2.x has been absolutely incredible, and all of these changes sound like a good time. Going to give it a bit of time though, so that the mods can catch up
Hell yeah! This game is just awesome, love the devs that keep showing it love, too!
Oh man, car racing would be so terrible in this game
The races that are already in the game aren't half bad
How much of this already existed as mod ?
All but the racing and the always on radio I'm pretty sure. NCART has been available for a couple years now
Yeah Ncart I know it was a mod. I'm just wondering how they did for add so much in so short time. And getting mods, straigthening the code to their standards, would be a way to do it.
A Metro system? Finally? I am perplexed.
Sad part is everything needed was already in the game. A modder figured out how to turn it on a couple years back. CDPR left it disabled likely due to stability issues. So must finally be all ironed out.
