I played at launch on PS4 when it was a disaster. Rumor has it they've made dramatic improvements since then. I just started another playthrough and I'm wondering if anyone has some recent experience with it.

Wait until Phantom Liberty releases. They’re overhauling the entire game
quote:



TL;DR: This is going to be Cyberpunk 2.0.

virtually every system of the main game has been changed and/or updated

police system is completely reworked with multiple tiers of NCPD/mercs chasing you down in vehicles according to your wanted level, apparently on level 5 maxtac will chase you down and it will be some sort of bossfight against them (source: LINK )

perks and skills have been completely overhauled, no longer simple passive stat boosts, much more active abilities like different melee finishers, a dash, or the ability to deflect bullets with melee weapons

an entirely new 6th skill tree that uses a different type of skill points (relic points) that will be used to add new abilities to your cyberware

the difficulty curve is reworked/rebalanced

the loot tiers are reworked

archetypes of enemies have been redone for more variety in combat encounters
installing cyberware now has an effect on your body and you cant install too much or else you will go cyberpsycho (no idea what that looks like in game)

you can now "attune" cyberware to one of your attributes, making it more efficient if you have invested in that attribute; example here optical camo is attuned to the "cool" attribute: LINK

armor is no longer tied to clothing, it instead tied to your cybernetics

vehicle combat is added to the game, you can even use your katana on your bike

vehicles are no longer bought from fixers, but bought through a website set up by mama welles

some vehicles have guns installed on them (machine guns, rocket launchers)
new type of infinitely replayable/repeatable missions are being added where you need to steal certain vehicles marked on your map

new activity introduced "airdrops", loot caches that drop randomly on the map that you can fight over and retrieve for yourself

tons of new random events/activities are added to make the world feel more alive, like car chases and gang fights

going cyberpsycho means you enter a rage-mode where you put out as well as receive more dmg

all vehicles have detailed damage-models, you can shoot through/break windows, slash tires and there's new quick-hacks to accelerate or stop enemy cars

gigs in dogtown are bigger and usually include more dialogue than the ones in the base game

recentish. think maybe 6 months ago. it was a smooth game with just a few hiccups on ps5. i enjoyed it. its not as awesome a game as everyone thought it was going to be but well worth some time to sink in it.

I started playing it for the first time like 2 months ago and finished it last week. I enjoyed it. Really didn't have any issues. My only complaint is that driving cars is like driving on ice, but I found that motorcycles worked much better so I stuck with that. I enjoyed it enough that I'll probably get the Phantom Liberty DLC when it comes out.

I picked up the trial on ps plus maybe a month ago. I will say the game is one of the single most beautiful video games i have ever seen especially considering its scale. I am interested in everything about it and with phantom liberty not only adding an expansion but overhauling the entire enemy UI, skill system, police system to make it more 5 star in the vein of GTA, it excites me bigly but idk I just cant do the first person especially in a game of this nature. I would pay 20 bucks for it which is where it sat or below for a long time until they jacked the price with their announcement and marketing of the xpansion.

I have also looked up all the spoilers and hope the expansion adds new endings and possibilities. None of the current ones are in line of something "cyberpunk" whereass the netflix anime edgerunners definitely was

I’ve owned it for a while but finally started playing this week.

I about spewed my bourbon when the Asian guy started telling the story about how he was once a doctor and intentionally killed a Tyger Claw boss….almost word for word reference to The Office

I have 880 hours in the game. Loved it from day one. Much easier and less of a grind after the first major patch. I am interested in all of the new changes / dlc.

I hope they balanced it a bit better or have a higher difficulty. Late game hacking is a bit god like which is fun but late game has no real challenge. And I suck at games. lol/

I played through and beat it twice. Once at launch (it would crash about every 2 hours like clockwork, but otherwise ran fine) and again when they released the PS5 patch. Really enjoyed it.

I waited until the ps5 update and played. Had a blast and largely no issues regarding crashes and performance.

Only issue I had was how large the world was. It felt quite empty at times.

Story and gameplay were good I thought.

When does the DLC come out? Wonder if it will be any good.

One of my best friends picked it up about 6 months post-launch on ps4, and he really enjoyed it.

There is a performance dropoff. I'm not sure whether it was 2.0 or Liberty, but the transitions between menu/character screens and the game will absolutely get you killed if you're in the wrong locale. The original game set me to Ultra, which I had to back down to High/custom, and it was fine, before the patch. 5600X/RX580+/64GB/PCIe 4 SSD.

I don't necessarily get why the lag is so pronounced after coming out of what should be a fairly small SSD write (it occurs on autosaves too), but I've learned to wait two seconds before I start moving after a checkpoint. Probably prudent.

Started up my first playthrough. Made my character and distributed the skill points and hit the button to proceed. Screen proceeds to go blank and freezes. This is starting out well….

I just started playing for the first time and just got done with Act 1 so the map is opened up now.

This game is incredible and beautiful and will take me months.

I know I’m behind the times. I’m 60 hours in and feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface. Great game.
