Now I only need to wait until the game is <= 20 € on disc.
"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.
weird physics
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.
If you sunk 200 hours into the game, was it really that awful?
No it's a good game. I like it even with the qc issues because it's ambitious. But the devs are basically admitting that they worked on it for 3 years to fullfill the original vision and it's so much better that it's worth starting over.
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.

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.
Thanks!
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.)
In best case, I will play the game after the first patch after 2.0 + PL. Good that I'm still in my first playthrough in Baldurs Gate 3. So if the patch comes around the weekend of the 6th of October, I should be fine.
Nah - I think I'll enjoy it on my old character, if that's all right with them.
Crazy to think I'd just spend another 100 hours redoing missions and revisiting old content for new progression systems.
I'm happy the game is finally finished, but it's kind of insulting to tell us to go back and "play it all again, it's finally ready".
I fail to see the insult, it's not like they're going to call you names if you don't do what they recommend.
I think you're taking this wrong. They're saying you can play it all again and the experience will be somewhat different with the new systems. They are saying you're a loser if you don't or whatever. Basically, they're saying the update effects the existing game too, not just the DLC.
