Copying this from another comment /edit: all of these updates are coming to the base game

TL;DR: This is not a DLC. This is Cyberpunk 2.0.

•	virtually every system of the main game has been changed and/or updated
•	police system is completely reworked with multiple tiers of NCPD/mercs chasing you down in vehicles according to your wanted level, apparently on level 5 maxtac will chase you down and it will be some sort of bossfight against them (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riK1i8lQwRM&t=511s)
•	perks and skills have been completely overhauled, no longer simple passive stat boosts, much more active abilities like different melee finishers, a dash, or the ability to deflect bullets with melee weapons
•	the difficulty curve is reworked/rebalanced
•	the loot tiers are reworked
•	archetypes of enemies have been redone for more variety in combat encounters
•	an entirely new 6th skill tree that uses a different type of skill points (relic points) that will be used to add new abilities to your cyberware
•	installing cyberware now has an effect on your body and you cant install too much or else you will go cyberpsycho (no idea what that looks like in game)
•	installing cyberware now has a first person cutscene added to it, just like in the prologue at Vik’s clinic
•	you can now “attune” cyberware to one of your attributes, making it more efficient if you have invested in that attribute; example here optical camo is attuned to the “cool” attribute: https://i.imgur.com/1UI9SEX.png
•	armor is no longer tied to clothing, it instead tied to your cybernetics
•	vehicle combat is added to the game, you can even use your katana on your bike
•	vehicles are no longer bought from fixers, but bought through a website set up by mama welles
•	some vehicles have guns installed on them (machine guns, rocket launchers)
•	new type of infinitely replayable/repeatable missions are being added where you need to steal certain vehicles marked on your map
•	new activity introduced “airdrops”, loot caches that drop randomly on the map that you can fight over and retrieve for yourself
•	tons of new random events/activities are added to make the world feel more alive, like car chases and gang fights

This sounds like they're finally making the game what it should have been in the first place. New perk system in particular peaked my interest. Still haven't played it, and not picking up this at launch, but if it comes out and they didn't fuck it up this time I might pick up the game+dlc on sale after a couple months.

Holy cow, i really need to buy it now, that looks pretty amazing

I still haven't played through it yet, got it on steam sale, but with this announcement I'll probably hold off until this update is released.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Same, might as well get the best experience.

NGL, I just pre-ordered after reading this. I know folks HATE pre-ordering literally because of the first release of CP2077, but I loved that game so much and always felt like the internet just had a disproportionate tantrum over it.

This isn't to say that we shouldn't have been disappointed at all. I certainly wish that they didn't hype so hard, but I think of all the games to over-promise and under-deliver, Cyberpunk and the projektRED team didn't deserve poster child status.

Also, god damn Keanu as Johnny Silverhand fulfilled all of my Cyberpunk2020 dreams from my nerdy-ass childhood, and I don't want this IP to die. So I'll buy the game and expansion for PC. I know that I'll get it anyway, even if it has bad reviews, because I did the first time and didn't regret it for a second.

Cor, that all sounds amazing.

il pireate the dlc 1ste .before im buyin it - i own the base game .never pre order .on day 1 .

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I bought it on sale at Steam a while ago when I got my Steam Deck, but didn't play much and when I picked it up again it had glitched and replaced my save with something completely different. I'm happy they are updating it and making it into the game that was promised...maybe I'll give it another chance on decent hardware.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This is actually really cool. Sounds like calling it a "DLC" is far short of the reality. I picked it up on release and played like 5 hours or so maybe, but when I tried it again a few days ago, I had no idea what I was doing anymore. Might be time to start a new game and give it a fresh try once the new DLC lands.

Awesome, I look forward to my second playthough!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Super excited for this. I've been meaning to replay cyberpunk for some time now but i will hold of until this is released. For all its faults and bugs and rushed content, I am someone who thoroughly enjoyed cyberpunk and over about 120hours playtime I did almost everything that was possible to do on a single character.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Hot damn, I bought the game when it came out, never finished it, picked it up again earlier this year, beat the story (the updates they made by that time were awesome) and loved it. I saw the trailer yesterday for the DLC and looked really good, but dang the updates sound amazing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This is great news, thanks. I played the game originally on Stadia (actually made $40 profit) and intended to replay it anyway, but this sounds even better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'll buy the complete edition in a few years for 15 bucks.

I've been itching to play the base game since release, despite the bugs.

I might finally bite the bullet get a rig that can play it. I may even convince myself to get the Steam Deck for it!

Does the base game currently run smoothly on the Deck?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I played it on the Steam Deck a few months ago and it ran perfectly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Definitely enough new interesting stuff for me to replay the game probably. I will have to let my buddy know as he is absolutely ready for the dlc.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Not gonna lie, if they make good on their promises (I'm still rather suspicious of CDPR after the absolute mess that was 2077's launch), it might just tempt me to pick up 2077 and Phantom Liberty next time there's a big Steam sale.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I can't wait to play this game for the first time when this expansion goes live. I've been a patient gamer and haven't even bought the game yet. Glad to see it will probably pay off especially since people seem to be happy with the game as is. There's going to be SO much to play this fall.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

So maybe its time to play the next time there is a good sale?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Cyberpunk was one of the few games I played to completion (after all the post-launch updates to fix it). I'm excited to start over with these updates.
