Thanks, gonna give it a go for the first time on my Xbox
Cyberpunk 2077
- Thread starter antijoke
- Start date
After several months, I finally finished the game last week. I've now seen all the base game endings and two of the Phantom Liberty ones, completed all jobs, side jobs, gigs and am still chipping away at the NCPD dispatch jobs (only realised the other day there's a filter for those on the map; there's a lot). I've thoroughly enjoyed all my time with the game, I'm not a big RPG player and tend to stick to stuff like Mass Effect, Fallout etc so I can't compare it to the likes of Skyrim or The Witcher, but the sheer amount of content and the generally high consistent quality of it has really impressed me. The attention to detail, environmental storytelling, characters, sound design etc are all really, really good. I don't think it quite rivals modern GTAs in some of those respects but for an RPG it comes awfully close at times.
I think my main complaint is that despite being reworked, some of the systems are still a but uninituitive; the cyberware, quickhacks, crafting/upgrading interfaces are all a bit muddled and it took me a while to finally get to grips with them and understand how to get the most from each. The game does have a few tutorials at the start but for some reason it leaves you to figure out the more complicated aspects yourself, and I suspect casual players could end up entirely ignoring them.
It's a real travesty it launched in the state that it did and then took them so long to get to the state it's in now, I know the game has sold well but it's easy to see it could've done so much better and perhaps we'd have got more post-release content for it too.
All in all, I'm glad I sent my launch copy back and waited because this is definitely the best version of the game to play by a long way. Time to find a nice small game to play now!

So is that literally the full game for a 4 hour trial window till it gets to midnight? That's a pretty good way of doing a demo versus being restricted!

You can buy the PS4 one for cheap, and upgrade it to the PS5 version iirc. That's all I did, mind you, I got my physical copy when the game tanked, and had my digital version refunded
They have, it's down to £43 on the PS Store. Cheaper still if you use discounted top-ups.
I spent an hour or so last night finishing up the last of the NCPD dispatch jobs, then realised that meant I was only a few trophies away from the platinum. Spent another hour or so on those and the plat was mine.
The game is now uninstalled.

The Phamtom Liberty story is pretty decent.
Logged into ebay today for what seems like the first time in years. Xbox One version of Cyberpunk is still in my watch list, used copy for not much more than the price of a pint.
Presume its worth picking up at that price? There is also an Ultimate edition that comes with the Phantom Liberty DLC but that looks like its PS5 version or Xbox series X version. Its also 4 times the price of the standard. Is that a different or enhanced version of the base game?
Apart from the DLC, the Xbox will download all the updates anyway during install won't it?

When you put the disc in it will tell you that you can install the Series X version and then the console will download that.
It's definitely worth picking up if it's dead cheap. The DLC is worth getting as well.
It is a great game. Really explore the city once the game opens up and hold off steaming through the main missions as there are some "wonderful" sides and bizs gonk!Purchased

Just installed this as it is now included in the PS5 subscription so thought I might give it a look
I personally think that Phantom Liberty is one of the finest DLCs ever made and well worth the extra time and investment for the complete CP2077 experience.
Bought it in the summer sale for £13.99, just the base game and am playing it now for the first time. It was never my type of game really so I always avoided it. I even played the demo but struggled.
I've just done some braindance thing for Evelyn so I'm very early in. Already seen a ton of NPC glitches that I saw years ago on websites so I thought all of that was fixed?

Two things.
Firstly, at that point, you've not even reached the starting logo of 'Cyberpunk 2077' splashed across the screen.
Secondly, I only picked up the ultimate edition a few months ago along - can't say I've seen many glitches or had many crashes at all (nothing a quick reload hasn't sorted either)
I very rarely spend more than twenty quid on a game because I'm tight and wait until bugs are ironed out (and I have a GPU to run it well) but the £25 I spent on the ultimate edition is some of the best value ever known to mankind.

Yeah I get that I'm more or less at the start. I've just never been into futuristic stuff like this - hell even back in the day the trailers for the game did nothing for me.Two things.

Just did a deal with Maelstrom that went predictably south so I'm escaping some production plant with Jackie. Guess I'll just carry on for now and see how it pans out.
