CD Projekt's Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0 + Phantom Liberty Expansion Thread

"Sell the same game twice. Just make it even worse the second time!"
I see they're trying really hard to mimic Bethesda.

Twice. Twice is amateur hour, buddy.

Skyrim had 10.

GTA 5 had 4.

Exactly.

For anyone modding you are making suicide. 2.0 for sure will break almost every mod there is and in major way aka long time before they will go online again.

Adding any mods right now is just punching yourself in the gonads, yes, but it's hardly a surprise that plenty of PC players will have modded the game three years after launch. It's gonna be a shitshow, bonus points for how hopelessly byzantine CBP's modding infrastructure is.

This is bumming me out on the industry overall - I've got three big games coming out in 2023, BG3, Starfield and CBP 2.0/Phantom Liberty, and all three badly need modding, so I'll have to sit on them for months. And as for CBP in particular, what a circus this support cycle's been - "wait for the GOTY" should rather be "wait for the next Olympics cycle."

Cyberpunk was already a 7/10 on release, so this is most likely going to be an 8/10, which I would classify as great.

Yes, trust me bro.

I was playing this today on my 4090 and it's really the best looking game I've ever played. Sure the gameplay in 1.0 is flawed and there's nothing to do in the city, but it's the best designed and best looking video game city I've ever seen. I took 100 hours in my first playthrough, and I don't remember much about the sidequests (which are kind of lame), but I remember locales in the city like IRL places I've been.

Super hyped to replay.

In case you ever wondered what cringe looks personified:

He is trying way too hard to show excitement and happiness, it shows.

Sasko is always like that in his streams. Though he looks here drunk a bit.
Drunk and loud is typical polish behavior.

Or on drugs. But I think that's just him really.

AwesomeButton what are/will be my options for a increased difficulty mod come 2.0/PL's launch?

I was thinking of waiting out the patch and detailing a mod list in a new thread featuring Gameplay, QoL and Graphics sections, plus some "nice touch" minor mods. What the options will be depends on which mods will update and when.

MRK's mods are numerous, mutually compatible, and all great, and he has already marked each of them with a post giving a heads-up on how much work he expects will be needed to update the respective mod for 2.0.
Scissors seems to have moved on from CP77 modding, hasn't been posting in a long while, which is worrying, because he has some of the best mods like "Scissors' difficulty options". Also "Vehicle combat" (the mod that's just as notable for partially fixing the police system as for the vehicle combat itself) and "Healing System Rework", which both seem to have been the inspiration behind some 2.0 updates. Who knows he might even have been hired at CDPR. I don't hang around Discord, he might be found there, or someone might know about his status.
Djkovrik is still active - "Wannabe Edgerunner", "Muted Markers" as well as a number of QoL mods.

Those are the three big ones, around which most of my mod list revolves.

One newer overhaul mod is Enemies of Night City: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/8467 I haven't tried it out yet though. Some comments say the rebalance is broken for this or that boss, or situation, but that's normal. The ones I have tried - "Blackwall" and "Realistic Combat Overhaul" haven't been updated since 2022.

Scissors difficulty options can still give you the basics of a combat overhaul because it lets you modify the global damage dealt to you and to enemies, but who knows if it will be compatible after the update.

Alright cool. Yeah I'm just looking for some lightweight mods to alter difficulty a bit I guess, not sure if it's worth waiting for them to update but I might consider it

I played it for myself in RTX two days ago, and the sunlight shadows are really impressive. I stll hate the Eye Adaptation makes things too dark or too bright in the most sunny parts of the day. The mod for alleviating it didn't help as much as I imagined.

Booting transmitter... hijacking frequencies... aaaand radio is ready to go live!

How did we get here? Watch the Making of 89.7 Growl FM and find out!

The best part? You don't even need to wait until the Update 2.0 to listen to the Growl FM music! You can do it right now on your favourite streaming platforms: https://e-muzyka.ffm.to/growlfm

What's with them hiring ex-porn actors to be VA's? Sasha Grey is the radio voice and that tranny from youtube has a character as well.

[Trithne]

It's pretty retarded since they designed the world to seem like a satire of a thoroughly pornified society.

Then they do this, and you realise it's not a satire.

Sasha Grey was in Saints Row 3 as well. I guess it's just an appeal to der ewige koomer.

C00mers make up half of their customers just look at the mod page nigger.

 

[lukaszek]

btw there appear to be no perk that would enable throwing, so it must be available by default.
Question - anyone knows if you will be able to block with knife?

Never showing the city as the character emerges from a darker area into full daylight and the horrible Eye Adaptation kicks in.

 

[Gerrard]

It looks better than 2 years ago when i finished it.
CDPR were fucking morons to release it in 2019. it was obvious that the game was at least 1,5-2 years away from being done.

A delayed game will eventually be good only if you actually have people capable of making it good. Delays won't change anything if it's shit by design.

 

[Steezus]

I mean, I do like the game, but it's definitely shit by design. There's no real choices in dialogues, RPG mechanics are lacking and itemization is just horrendous. Instead of Borderlands, I wish we got Stalker, where there aren't weapon rarities and incremental DPS increases and just base types with mods. (Why isn't there a mod for this still????)

 

[GhostCow]

You guys need to stop thinking of this as an RPG. Even CDPR stopped calling it an RPG a few months before release. It's an above average action-adventure.

 

[Steezus]

Didn't they stop calling it an RPG just after release?

Either way, they started calling it an RPG and continued to do so for the vast majority of the dev and marketing cycle. I appreciate the game for what it is but I'm not gonna cut them some slack for that switch up.

 

[GhostCow]

No, I definitely remember making fun of them for that here before release happened and everyone taking it as a sign that the game was going to be shit

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Perusing the pre-release Cyberpunk 2077 thread, it seems CDPR stopped referring to the game as an RPG in mid-November 2020, or at least this is when the Codex noticed.

So when the mods gonna move this thread to General Gaming.

Immediately after they move the threads devoted to Alpha Protocol and Disco Elysium.
