This is great, an honest "add-on" that comes with an update that happens to polish the original game too.

[–] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Leave it to the Polish to add some polish.

[–] Amilo159@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well they sure very well did polish what was anyway a gem earlier year. Witcher 3 is and will be my all time favourite game.

I felt really blaah about Witcher 3 but loved most of CP2077. Glad I took the chance even after that bit of a disappointment.

Leave it to the polish to release something and fix it later

Super hot take: I'm playing Starfield right now and it just pales in comparison to Cyberpunk. Though they are clearly different types of games, the artistry, environmental detail, dialogue writing, and voice acting are all a clear step down.

Can't wait til the expansion comes out.

Cyberpunk has one of the best cities I've ever seen in a game. If you hang out with the Aldecaldos and River's family, driving back into the city feels like driving back into a city. It isn't just going to a location with a lot of NPCs.

Yeah, really a hot take to post in a Cyberpunk community 🙃

[–] finthechat@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Is it? Do you not remember how the official subreddit went mega apeshit bananas for over a year?

Also, have you ever looked at the official Steam forum for this game?

[–] KammicRelief@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That's good to hear. I've been curious about sf but cp is maybe my favorite game so far. Similar experience with me with Spiderman Remastered. Been playing it, and NYC is so beautiful in it, and the web swinging is really fun, and I like the combat mechanics, buuuut.. I find myself missing everything else about cp.

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

that's nice

I thought about this too. Especially with how often Starfield breaks immersion Cyberpunk never does unless you switch to 3rd person.

I do try to maintain expectations because it is on Bethesdas engine but I often wonder why they didn't try a different engine for Starfield.

I bought this game a long time ago, but never played it because it would consistently crash right after the montage scene. With this update, seems maybe a good time to give it a try again. Is there anything the expansion adds to a first playthrough?

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As an IT guy, what CPU were you trying to play the game with?

I'm aware of a few early bugs with 2077 that would crash the game on specific CPUs.... Just wondering if that was your problem.

[–] paholg@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Huh weird. It's an i9-9900K.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Aah. Okay, not the same issue then. The specific instruction the game needs was avx, it wasn't required for some of the early quests, namely the intro for the Nomad, but as soon as you got to the city it would crash.

Happened to me

[–] fosforus@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago

I had it crashing right after a certain patricide and I fixed it by installing Nobara Linux and playing it via GE-Proton.
