Bought it early on, because I heard PC wasn't so bad. It was. Came back to it about 6 months ago and got through the main story.

It was better. The bugs were more in the Bethesda realm of funny, but not game breaking.

I'm in two minds as to whether to pick up PL. On one hand, I'm kinda done with Cyberpunk. It was fine. I'm not sure I need to go back...

On the other hand, apparently the expansion adds a lot to things like police AI, so it might actually be worth going back.

I dunno. Will see what reviews are like when it's out

I maybe got like 10-15 hours into it? I quite liked it but it felt underbaked in many areas. I'm curious to see just how expansive the improvements to basic core gameplay systems are in the final product here. Because graphically and narratively, I felt they had something pretty special.

Seems like that's a healthy approach to have. Not getting hyped for it. I really enjoyed playing the original as a fairly non-linear story driven RPG. But there was obviously a lot of things left either half baked or completely left out.

The original release had CDPR over hyping the game themselves. Which just got players setup for disappointment.

The RT Overdrive is sooo impressive. A lot of games have been talking about raytracing transforming game graphics but this is the first time I really felt that. Yes, it destroys FPS and only works on high-end GPUs, but if that's the future of how good lighting is then that's damn exciting.

I agree with the other comments here. My own morals prevent me from being excited for this. I felt so betrayed by the main games release that I genuinely cannot convince myself I'm okay with paying for this. It looks great and I hope it is great and the beginning of a new start for them as a studio.
