Should I continue waiting for Cyberpunk? (feddit.uk)

Currently, I'm waiting for a sale that puts the base game and phantom liberty at around £25.
Am I being a bit silly?
Is it worth picking up the next time GOG do a sale for around £38?

Edit: I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who has responded with useful information, and opinions on the game. I think I may treat myself next time the base game is £25 (and I have a weekend to play!)

I have played the main game and while I thought it was okay, it was also nothing particularly special. The typical wide but shallow but pretty but story free design of any open world game.

Do you like open world games? You'll love it. Do open world's bore you? You won't love it.

I am happy I only paid 20 for the main game, at that price it was quite alright. The main story and dialogue are exceptionally bad even for an open world game, but the writing of the bigger side quests makes up for that and some are fantastic. Judy in particular is really well done and her extra portions and romance were fantastically voiced, too.

Very much agree with the first two paragraphs, very much disagree with the third paragraph. “Exceptionally bad”?! Compared to what? I’d say that one or two open world games of the last ten years really stand out but Cyberpunk is comparable to the average. And I would guess it’s quite enjoyable if you already enjoy the cyberpunk genre. Anecdotally, the side quests and side characters seem to elicit very divergent appreciations.
