The combat is really bad. It's the reason why I stopped playing. I don't know what's going on there, but the shooting was just awful. I was enjoying aspects of the game, too. I loved the look of the world, even though it was incredibly shallow. But the shooting just killed the game for me.

Lies!
I have many loves but in gaming Outer Wilds, Witcher 3 and of course Deus Ex would be my all time top 3. In music, I adore Nirvana and among contemporary artists Joanna Newsom is the bees knees (aside from FF of course).
The launch was an unmitigated disaster and the game that released was nothing like expected, this we all know. That clearly impacted the view on the game (rightly so really) but I still think at its core it’s far more fleshed out than the vast majority of other games I’ve played in the last few years. I know I’ve used this comparison before but Ghost of Tsushima which is raved about was such a bland world with a painfully boring story. Cyberpunk’s writing puts it to shame. Hell even take a game like Spider-Man which I loved and platinumed. It was really well done and well polished but hardly a complex game. Ultimately Cyberpunk probably tried to do too much, reached too high and promised the world which meant its launch was a disaster, but fundamentally what they built is really impressive and an underrated gaming experience. Post patches I’d expect that this would be one of the best games around.
Couldn’t agree more. The combat is brilliant, not really sure what the issue is there! The AI left abit to be desired but hell my favourite game is Skyrim so I don’t really care!
Maybe it has changed since launched? Or maybe it’s just my jam - because whether it was my first playthrough charging up tech rifles though walls and taking everyone out around cover using smart pistols, being a hacker katana ninja in my second or my third experimenting with shotguns and fists, I enjoyed it all. So much so that I made it a point to complete every scanner mission. Things like double jump / hover and switching between the mantis / mono wire just gives you so much freedom which I really enjoyed.
And Im not even a completionist gamer.
@Redlambs Agree completely on the AI it's one of CD Projects Red biggest weaknesses. Sometimes people get blinded by the masterpiece that TW3 obviously is and don't actually realize how simplistic the AI is for a game of that stature even just around the towns and city's. Still better than Cyberpunks especially in compat but not great!
@amolbhatia50k True it's the only mini game.. I'll check those side quests out thanks! just jumping back into it now that I've forked out on a PC build this week. Looks absolutely stunning even with RT off hopefully this expansion brings it forward a bit now.
Oooooh, what did you get mate?
To be honest you should hold out till September. It will look incredible on your PC plus you’d get all the new features and changes that come with the DLC.
It is a good looking game, especially on PC. Well apart from all the reused stuff around every corner, but atmosphere and use of RT is spot on.
I really hope this DLC does something to make me stick with it this time.

I put it on last night after posting in this thread and it looks absolutely lovely on PS5 but still feels so...lifeless?
Ok yeah I will. Went with an RTX 3080 over the moon with it! Just installed it initially to check out the visuals really. September is it? Would be a great month if both Cyberpunk was improved and Starfield launching
Yep September 26th. My brother has a gaming PC and he says with this overdrive (even without really) mode it just looks ridiculous. The world is so detailed it will be a real treat for you.
RTX 3080 10GB Omen 30L really happy with itsold the Xbox SX
Nice one, enjoy! What processor did you go for?
That's my thing. The game is actually pretty cool when it comes to the mechanics especially. It feels expansive on that end. Graphics are great but like everything else in the game it becomes repetitive quickly, and as you said: feels lifeless. Once you veer off the main quest path there just isn't much to keep me hooked. Some of that may be because cyberpunk isn't quite my thing, because I also could never really get into the Deus Ex games. And those were highly rated.
i7-10700K. Could have gotten a bit better but it's doing the job!
Noice. Will well outlast this generation into the next, and think of how many sandwiches that will handle in Starfield!

Totally. Thousands of sandwiches I'll be able to hoard!
Just finished it, a little late as I didn't have time to play it sooner but I enjoyed it very much, one of the best games I've played in recent years.
Being a later version of the game only ran into minor bugs and it ran smoothly on my laptop on high-ultra settings.
Took about 60 hours with almost all of the side quests and gigs completed.

Oh man, the game is undergoing a complete overhaul in the next month. You'll be able to do a re-play pretty soon.
Yeah I’m waiting for that before properly playing for the first time.
What I've waited years for to actually play the rest of the game
I will definitely start a new character and go through the revamped trees fresh. Expansion will also be the launch of Nvidia DLSS 3.5 as well
Predictably I will also be starting a fresh playthrough once this releases. Only question is what type of build to go for. So many choices.
Does the traffic and people walking down the street still reset every time you turn around?
Terrible timing with Starfield
I will get this update and once again, for about the 20th time, reinstall CP and try to get into it.
But it'll have to wait with far BG3, Starfield and AC6 all in the way.

Why the feck did this have to clash with Starfields launch
Bad luck for Starfield
I still haven't played this game, despite building a pc for it back in early 2020 just before it got delayed. This 2.0 update looks like it might be the perfect time to get into it, though. Or perhaps I'll give it a couple of patch cycles because with this game's history, you never know.

Ps4 version is all that's needed for ps5 console right?

The game was solid and most issues solved even a few months ago when I've played it. Don't remember exactly with what patch, but I didn't run into anything bad.
Sure but I mean the 2.0 update might introduce a bunch of new bugs and issues, considering how substantial an update it appears to be. It's reported to include a fundamental reworking of several game systems, so yeah.
By far the weakest parts are the A.I (especially cops) and the shooting/combat lacking any impact. The lack of anything worth while doing in terms of crafting/general faux rpg elements, overused assets and world largely being locked off and static are lesser problems.
If by some miracle the main things above are at least improved, then I might be able to get into it. I've always wanted to as the setting and overall idea is right up my alley, but it's all just so disappointing every time I try.
It is said to completely overhaul, among others, the skills system and "police and combat AI", so it looks promising on paper. We'll have to wait and see how substantial those improvements really are.
Fool me once…
They said those things previously, and in some ways they made them worse.
But I've never refunded it so I'll have to give it another shot.
My advice would be to wait and see what sort of reception this gets. They properly botched the release of the main game.
I'm almost certainly going to get the expansion pack. I know the game had some serious faults at launch and would never have been an all-time great like Witcher 3 even if those bugs had been absent but there's still quite a lot about the game i actually liked.
The performance and graphics on the PS5 are actually pretty decent now.
