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

Looks like WoW going from Vanilla to Burning Crusade. Lots of cool stuff I see.

Disclaimer: Sorry, I’m old

PS: Dang that Lemmy thing is so cool.

No mans sky vibes, anyone?

Hotdamn thats amazing, gives me a bit of No Man's Sky vibes in terms of fixing what is broken or what they still didn't like. I cannot wait.

This looks pretty sweet, but remember to wait for reviews before you buy!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Nah, I'll wait it out again. Fuck pre-orders. I'm pretty burnt out on this game from the buggy release on console.

The fact that you people here are excited to pay for features as a DLC that should have been available on release confirms cuckoldry is acceptable here.

As someone who has loved this game since launch, this is crazy. Pretty much every feature I wished the game had is being added.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

This sounds like an incredible update. Can’t wait to replay this game.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

This is easily the most hyped release this year for me! Love the game and can't wait to go back to Night City for yet another playthrough!

Trying not to before this drops but I'm not sure how that'll go..

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Took them a while but I can finally have epic chase battles with the police after committing accidental vehicular manslaughter.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I played this game semi-recently (within the year) so I had a pretty good experience with it compared to a lot of the early players (via proton no less), but if this expansion lives up to all this then I'm pretty excited nonetheless.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Sounds great, can't wait to finally play this. I've been putting it off after the disappointing feedback from the original release.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'll remain skeptical until it releases, but hopefully this will be a reason to revisit the game. It has so much potential

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

So are these updates free or only for Phantom Liberty owners?

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.

Sounds like they are finally adding some of the things they promised before launch. Won't pre-order that but will probably buy in a sale if it actually lives up to the hype this time.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Despite its obvious flaws I really enjoyed the game so anything that improves it is fine by me. Probably a next year purchase for me though as with Starfield and Baldurs Gate 3 coming out I can't see where I'd even find time to play it any time soon

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

All of these changes are exciting. It's what we were promised in the initial game.

The entire trailer and images feel as if something massive happened in the previous game. Like the government went down or something, and it's chaos in the streets.

TBH I didn't finish the last mission. I got to it, and didn't finish it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Oh wow, I had no idea this was so extensive. I doubt I'll have time for this on release, but I'm looking forward to trying it out. Sometime...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I love the current iteration of cyberpunk but I'm also excited to see this new version of it. I'm most excited about the new skill trees.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Oooooh. I adored the original. (Well, I played it in 2022, so the bugs were worked out). I can't wait for this!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Cor, that all sounds amazing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That's quite a bit of changes. Looking forward to playing it again with the new expansion, sounds like it'll nearly be a different game that launch

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That would be great, but we were also hyped before release of the base game...

[–] Wizharry 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I had dropped the game after the intro, wanted to give it another try, so maybe this will be a good reason to try again !

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.

This actually sounds pretty boss. Wonder if I'll need to start another play through, I'm not very deep into my second one.

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] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I was banking on starting a new playthrough before the DLC dropped but if these changes are coming with it vs before than perhaps I should wait. I’m curious on how the base game will feel with these kind of implementations.
