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

[Vic]

Also, am I the only one that finds this game extremely short? From your first mission saving that naked woman in a bath tub to your point of no return after the parade.. it's like 2 or 3 hours if you ignore the billions of "COLLECT EVIDENCE CHEST HERE" quests.

 

[Immortal]

24 Hours?

> Bathtub Mission
> Maelstrom Mission
> Hotel Mission

==Prologue Ends== (And by "Prologue Ends" it actually means.. the game is half over)

> Evelyn Parker
> That Chip dude
> V00D00 Boiz
> Parade

== Point of No Return==

if you don't fuck around this is like 4 - 5 hours long.

 

[Trithne]

I mean, this disregards side stories, which are a bit of a mixed bag, but if you don't do them you're locked out of some endings.

Gigs and NCPD scanners are entirely optional and just for money/exp/cred though.

If you did every side mission I could see it being around 15-20 hours.

A fanboy take, but some reasonable arguments are made:

First time on youtube grandpa?

The woke things about the game are the gender/tranny stuff and the forced diversity.

Have you played Circuit's Edge?

No, but it seems to be your first time since you'd post "content" like that. That guy makes a living making clickbait videos about how every update and leak to the newest blockbuster is a game changer and talking about how great this slop is and why you, the viewer, should be invested so he can keep cranking out "content" that you consume. I don't care if your GDP depends on the success of this expansion pack, nobody should watch these videos.

 

[KVVRR]

For those that finished this thing: do you get another great boss fight or something? Do you get anything interesting at all? Boss fights, weapons, decks, cyberware etc?

Depends on which route you go with, but they definitely do things they hadn't done in the base game. It's up to you if you'd like them or not, though, I really enjoyed the Songbird final mission while hating how they dealt with the Reed one. But as far as I've seen it's the opposite for most people.

Comment on what he actually says in the video next time.

so far i had only single timed delivery and i lucked to get lambo like. Crossed whole map on time

Most of the time when the mission is times I get a piece of shit vehicle and it's impossible to finish on time even if perfect as it is simply too slow, or it picks that one parking lot drop-off point atop of the long snaking serpentine.

However reloading to a point just before I enter the vehicle rerolls the destination and timer.

I also like that the game sometimes also throws in the "don't damage it too much" objective and that there's a special sidequest where you break into a harbor after you do 8 of those procedular car jacking jobs.

I have watched some videos from juicehead sense I like the game and he occasionally lists some good mods. But that video had no content and was just obnoxious, had to downvote it so he takes the hint. That was to much shilling.

It takes some Dunning-Kruger to be laughing at clickbaiters on youtube (like that's news), while you yourself are failing at listening comprehension. Alright, I'll spell out the important parts for you:

1. "The update seems to be a success": concurrent players on steam after 2.0 are twice the number of concurrent players after the anime was released. The original game reached 87% positive reviews as well.
2. "Cyberpunk has been supported not only as content but also technically, and that's beyond the initial performance fixes from 2020. It remains a well optimized game for its graphics quality". -- I agree with that one.
3. "Such degree of support for a 3 years old game is a rare thing" -- I agree with that too.
4. Patch 2.0.1 news -- we already know about that
5. Reminder for a hint by CDPR director that more updates are coming after Phantom Liberty -- for those who haven't watched his interview at the xbox event.
6. News: there is an "investor day" stream on the 5th which will be discussing not only Phantom Liberty's reception but likely upcoming CDPR games:


P.S. This clickbaiter actually takes the effort to list his sources in his video description. You could learn a thing or two from him.

This game has the most imaginative quests like the crucifixion or the comatose child killer. Gameplaywise they're mostly 'choose dialogue option or click F to proceed' but the writing is decent enough to carry it (on the 1st playthrough at least).

I also enjoyed the mayor's death investigation which tricks you into ending it prematurely without getting the last piece of evidence that changes the perspective on the events entirely. Pretty neat.

 

[Yosharian]

JuiceHead can be really annoying sometimes tbf

 

[Junmarko]

Strange definition of fixed.

You have to use an XP reduction mod.

I'll have to search for a slower progression curve on nexus. Sadly it seems there is no mod that reduces how much money you get

 

[Lord_Potato]

Yes, the xp rewards are too high. Started playing 10 days ago (33 hours) and already reached level 36 with maxed out reputation.

 

[Justicar]

Fucking cyber commies

Gigs are good in the dlc much more elaborate and unique locations more story and dialogue

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

Not sure what the purpose of a flatter XP curve would even be in a world without fixed levels.

Right now, slowing your XP progression means you're simply delaying the enemies from getting cybernetics, stims or hacks, all of which make the gameplay more engaging.

I simply hate reaching the level cap and not being able to progress any further.

To feel like a rookie for a bit longer. The way the curve is right now, you can become a high level merc in the first 10.15 hours of the game.

I would also like a mod that unlocks cyberware based on street cred rather than levels. I guess I need to learn to use Wolvenkit

Yeah, okay, I get role-play arguments.

Funny that V does not level up at all during his half a year cooperation with Jackie, but than makes around 50 levels during a few weeks after getting the Silverhand chip.

they really make you play through half the game before you can start the DLC huh, well main quest is sending me to pacifica now so should be there soon (yes I know you can start from main menu, fuck off, I started a new game with 2.0 before DLC)

so far I could probably beat every fight without investing any points or messing with implants on Very Hard, just your typical popamole shooter

BUT, I am putting points into netrunning so that I get some interesting gameplay at least, frying enemies from a distance or when they're in other rooms even via cameras
