"Hey gonks! Remember that game we released and was dirty as hell but you all gave up the eddies because we told you it was preem. We finally have the game we should have released just 3 years later. Go ahead and flatline your 200hr characters and reboot."
If you got 200hours out of release then clear you got your moneys worth out of the game and enjoyed it, promises not kept or not.
Personally the game could’ve been better but I certainly enjoyed the one 120ish hour playthrough I did and had no major issues other than some texture bugs or weird physics, I had a capable PC though not a last gen console trying to play at being modern.

MOTORCYCLES SUDDENLY DID NOT STOPPIE ANY MORE
My disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined. This was a feature, not a bug.
Oh I'm sure someone'll mod it back in
I did a heavily modded 90hr playthrough and loved it. Dealt with a ton of crashes though 😅 I'm planning on playing this vanilla finally, or very lightly modded for UI and stuff.
Yea I played vanilla release over 100 hours, then some ui/qol mods. Looking forward to a vanilla 2.0 and dlc run then maybe see what some of these overhaul mods are doing a few months after that once they’ve been patched up
Petty AF. Massive update that overhaults the game and dlc its common practice to restart at updates like this
PC launch play was mostly fine. Only Console launch, mostly caused by massive delusion about min. spec.s, was f'd up completely. The PC issues were also the easiest to fix and even when they could fix the Console issues, they had to convince the Console store's Owners that the relaunch wouldn't be a shit show. But then I play on PC and so expect similar to last time, once I buy it after it launches.
You make it sound like they are forcing you to do so. You have the freedom of choice.
I wish I had the fortitude to start over at 140 hours deep into my character but damn I’m not sure I do.
Same. But I have wanted to explore other characters. My current one I made a baseball bat wielding, hard punching, aggressive nomad punk with a heart of gold, with some sniper secondary skills. Basically what I imagined a nomad would be like, with the skills I thought they'd have.
I kind of want to see what it's like as full stealth or a corpo hacker or a street samurai katana wielder or knife thrower.
Finally coming out of early access!
Now I only need to wait until the game is <= 20 € on disc.
I'm looking forward to playing it again. After BG3. And in between Tarkov. After Starfield. I guess by that point Elden Ring DLC might be out. Also need to play RE4 remaster. . Also didn't a Harry Potter game come out recently? Also Atomic Heart had a DLC. Still need to try Hell Let Loose...
Maybe one day.
You forgot about armoured core 6. Which, you just must play, especially with that backlog.

I suck at souls games but I like robots. Should I still give it a try?
Yes, its not a souls game anyways, just a hard mech game. Which is kinda the staple for mech games.
Also though you can suck at soul like games but still enjoy them. Honestly the first step into getting good is figuring out which type of cheese you prefer. Ive always been partial to big sticks turning enemies into pancakes. It works on most games that are similar. Havent found a weapon to do so in lie of p yet, but thats a good thing for me since it changed my play style.
BG3 is amazing
Ya I'll probably bump it up ahead on the list because I loved the game so much. But I know what you mean, I'm way behind on games. I just beat the FF7 Remake and am in the middle of Horizon Zero Dawn (ya, the first one).
As they've rearranged and completely changed lots of the controls and menus, I'll need to start a new campaign just to learn to play it.
I'm actually a fan of the game because I can see the vision they had. I think people are more harsh because they see how great it, "could have been". But to this day so many weird bugs, qc issues that are not even graphics related. Basic qc like overlapping dialogue, mission problems, things disappearing, etc. I'm rooting for the team to keep up improvements. But for them to tell me I'd have a better time starting over is a little annoying. If this is so much better what was I playing before ? Sure, more money, feedback and most of all time is going to make a better game.But they know there are things they could have done better if they are suggesting starting over.
They are suggesting you start over so you can enjoy the rebalance of the game with the updates. They aren't saying you have to, just that you'll get the most out of it if you do.
Cool, maybe I'll actually pick this up next time it's on sale (and includes the dlc).
Anyone have a tl;Dr on the police and vehicle revamps?
Cops are dangerous now, maxtac doubly so, and you can shoot out of cars while driving now.
So they're not just going to materialize out of thin air anymore?
I've tried to keep my spoilers to a minimum, but from what I've read, MAXTAC has their own siren. At 5* wanted level, when you hear their siren, a little bit of poo will come out.
Police are apparently relentless too - at all wanted levels. Oh, and straying into a gang's territory with police on your tail can lead to interesting results lol.
I seriously can't wait! I love netrunning, now I can be the netrunning demon everyone fears!
Picard to maxtac:
ENERGISE
(tbf It never really bothered me, cyberpunk is one of my favourite games ever. The story, the voice acting the goofy and scary side missions. For me the jesus pose and the teleporting cops where forgivable.)
On steam will the update automatically install? I am finally like 90% done with the main sorry line and I would rather finish it as is before starting over to do all the side quests.
Seems like you’d have to jump through hoops to avoid updating and continuing to play it while connected to Steam normally. #1 you should go into the Properties of the game and set it to not automatically update. But that won’t fix your issue, as it will trigger the update when you attempt to launch it. Also set it to not allow updates while playing the game, just in case.
Some games you can go into the steam directory and launch the .exe yourself, and that might work. There’s also Steam Offline Mode, but you may want to set it up today before the update drops and test how it works (I’ve never used it). Maybe you’ll have luck disconnecting from the internet before launching the game after the update is available. If you’re not able to completely disconnect your machine for whatever reason, you can get a program like NetLimiter and block the steam applications from accessing the internet temporarily.

I don't know jack about squat, but maybe there's a way to turn off automatic updates.
