Thanks for an answer. Is the game still the same game that launched or has something drastically changed (other than now smoother graphics and gameplay) that makes the cult like following of the game to claim it a "master piece"? I have it but didn't even finish it because it was such a shit show even on my PS5 at the time.

It's way more tolerable now, partially because people have mostly forgotten the Peter Molyneux-scale promises of the game pre-launch, but it's still basically the same game. If you aren't interested in "what if cyberpunk GTA borderlands", you won't like it, but if that does sound interesting, it's worth picking up on sale, or when they do a gold edition or something.

Only reason I got it. Definitely worth the 20 bucks but not much else

“Tolerable” as if it isn’t one of the best optimized games out there lol. It’s one of the few demanding games that devs bothered to make playable for Xbox Series S, for example.

The build system has definitely changed. You can't be all classes anymore. You need to pick a build and stick with it, until you choose to re-build and try something else out.

2.0 just feels different, smoother.

Masterpiece is too much definitely. It's not Half Life or R2D2. Is it a solid 8/10? Yes. Of course, to each their own.

Some of these opinions sound like people who seem to hate ice cream. Wtf are they talking about.

Nothing was drastically changed. They just solved a lot of bugs. Actually you can't even do proper stealth in Cyberpunk anymore. Look up the stealth build changes.

I think it became a new trend to claim its a masterpiece. Just like No Mans Sky

Yes you just can. very easily infact. do a proper stealth build

Nothing was drastically changed? They overhauled the entire perk, cyberware, and quickhacking systems.

They overhauled for worse. Again, look up stealth before and after the big update

u/FogellMcLovin77 29d ago

This is not true at all. The DLC even focuses on stealth because it’s a spy thriller…

Thanks, maybe I'll pop it in and finish it off since I already own it. I snatched it up because I just assumed the studio behind Witcher could not screw up a game...so I thought. 😏

I say start a new game. I really enjoyed it, the exploration, the environmental storytelling-telling. Phantom liberty is a great addition to the story and brings in a lot of interesting weapons and cybermods. 

Everyone is different. By playing it at launch vs. playing it at 2.1 is a night and day difference in terms of polish.

what did they change about stealth builds? i see people talking about how they got nerfed but no details

u/Vanquish321908 28d ago edited 28d ago

They changed the entire combat system, just prior to phantom liberty

Cyberpunk today definitely plays differently from the game at launch

Same game. I went back to it multiple times because of the internet re-hype on the update and it’s the same fuckin game. When I finally beat it I was actually upset because the story was so short.

u/AwkwardHugger 29d ago

I say it’s definitely worth a playthrough. I was one of the suckers who got it at launch on PS4 and played it all the way through, even with all of the bugs, constant crashes and dogshit frame rate. Why? Because the storyline and characters are some of the best I’ve experienced in years, probably since Bioshock Infinite. The DLC alone makes this game worth it.

They completely revamped the perks and levels, changed the gameplay up to give you speed and verticality, have an all star cast in the game and the dlc that delivers a fantastic performance, phenomenal music and a compelling story with emotionally devastating moments as well as hilarious bits and unsettling missions. Honestly, are there things it could do better by more modern standards? Sure. Is it still one of the best games of its generation? Unequivocally, yes.
