This is great, an honest "add-on" that comes with an update that happens to polish the original game too.

Leave it to the Polish to add some polish.
Well they sure very well did polish what was anyway a gem earlier year. Witcher 3 is and will be my all time favourite game.
Leave it to the polish to release something and fix it later
Super hot take: I'm playing Starfield right now and it just pales in comparison to Cyberpunk. Though they are clearly different types of games, the artistry, environmental detail, dialogue writing, and voice acting are all a clear step down.
Can't wait til the expansion comes out.
Cyberpunk has one of the best cities I've ever seen in a game. If you hang out with the Aldecaldos and River's family, driving back into the city feels like driving back into a city. It isn't just going to a location with a lot of NPCs.
Yeah, really a hot take to post in a Cyberpunk community 🙃
Is it? Do you not remember how the official subreddit went mega apeshit bananas for over a year?
Also, have you ever looked at the official Steam forum for this game?
that's nice
That's good to hear. I've been curious about sf but cp is maybe my favorite game so far. Similar experience with me with Spiderman Remastered. Been playing it, and NYC is so beautiful in it, and the web swinging is really fun, and I like the combat mechanics, buuuut.. I find myself missing everything else about cp.
I thought about this too. Especially with how often Starfield breaks immersion Cyberpunk never does unless you switch to 3rd person.
I do try to maintain expectations because it is on Bethesdas engine but I often wonder why they didn't try a different engine for Starfield.
Daaammn I need to get a move on with BG3 so I'm ready for this. Really looking forward to it!
I'm still bitter about the lack of monorail but ... I'll get over it one day
I heard those things are awfully loud.
It glides as softly as a cloud!
I bought this game a long time ago, but never played it because it would consistently crash right after the montage scene. With this update, seems maybe a good time to give it a try again. Is there anything the expansion adds to a first playthrough?
As an IT guy, what CPU were you trying to play the game with?
I'm aware of a few early bugs with 2077 that would crash the game on specific CPUs.... Just wondering if that was your problem.
Huh weird. It's an i9-9900K.
Aah. Okay, not the same issue then. The specific instruction the game needs was avx, it wasn't required for some of the early quests, namely the intro for the Nomad, but as soon as you got to the city it would crash.
Happened to me
the left column skill tree, AI, etc stuff should change the experience
Yeah, but it seems that all comes with the free update? My question is would it affect anything to buy the expansion, or would it make more sense to play through the game first, then only buy the expansion if I want more content?
I am opting to do the latter. Out of speculation I expect the new guns to come in if you installed the expansion so I wouldn't be able to differentiate without reading.
Also, I may finish the main game and find the dlc was discounted later on. If I do and it's still full price no loss as I see this as being a pretty decent dlc unlike EA games.
you could probably (just guessing) get some of the radiant quests, car mods, clothes, weapons, weapon mods and get the raise in level cap before the final vanilla quest
and if you were at level cap, there may be a chance of accessing DLC areas without the quests before getting the DLC quests - but none of that is particularly experience changing
Thank you!
