That’s half the main games price… Just don’t buy it
edit
ok ill add some other info i dont want this to sound like a mindless bashing
BUGS as of patch 2.01
-
in a quest you need to alternate between your face and another character. everytime after the switch the Start menu would be unavailable, only fix is to save and reload the game(you change clothes like 4 times in that quest and it gets bugged every time)
-
character getting ejected into the air while leaving a vehicle for no reason
-
character getting stuck into vehicles if you approach them too fast and the world freezing in solidarity
-
quest markers not getting updated
-
quests taking over your your tracked quest for no reason
-
characters sending you texts while you are talking to them
Ummm, since we are being critical, I’m going to say that low effort bug reports get sent to the recycle bin on my dev team. Also, what’s up with the tone of your post? You sound like you hated Cyberpunk 2077 in general and so you felt the need to scream it from the rooftops.
I’ve played Phantom Liberty now for a couple days and I’ve never seen anything you’re reporting, so you’ll need to give more detail, like are you playing this on PC or Console, and which console? What are your settings? Also lose the bad attitude man, we are all here to have fun.
I like cyberpunk. Not sure where you see an attitude
And why would you need to know my “settings”??
It’s funny to see this because I have found it to be the complete opposite.
First, the amount is surprisingly copious for a DLC. The new area they added is deceptively large because it has so much verticality. The main story missions for Phantom Liberty are also much longer than normal missions. The “like 5” you quoted is ridiculous because not only is it WRONG, it discounts the size of the missions.
They also added a ton of side missions and gigs, as well as two completely new side activities in car missions and supply drops. It’s a lot of content and just saying “they only added x number of missions” is reductive and frankly deceptive.
And maybe more important than the amount of content they added, the quality of the content is off the charts. The art style and creativity in the new areas is fantastic. It doesn’t feel like just more Night City, it really feels like a different area. It’s visually distinct from the original game; you know you’re in the new area without being told.
And the missions… the main story missions are completely different than anything in the original game. Fighting through the wreckage of a downed airplane to rescue the president and then getting thrown into a spy story complete with James Bond style banter over a roulette table! Idris Elba is amazing. Even the side missions are interesting with different ways to resolve them.
If you liked CP2077, I don’t see how you could possibly not like this DLC. They added more of everything that was good about the original game and did it at a higher level than the original game.
When I think of some of the other DLC’s I’ve paid for that are basically just a few extra missions and maybe a new companion or something, it makes this seem even better.
Now just so I don’t sound like a complete fan boy, I will say they added in a bunch of new bugs making the game less stable than it was in 1.63, which is really frustrating. But everyone gets those regardless if you paid for the DLC or not. So as much as it sucks that they added those bugs, it has nothing to do with whether you think the DLC is a good value or not.
Idk I found the story to be pretty silly and again the bad acting didn’t let me get into it. All those story missions are extremely linear.
I’m not impressed. As I said in another comment I like the base game and this is similar im not sure where you see all this in value in so little.
The car theft is not fun it’s all scripted,the drops became boring after the second one. Like really that stuff satisfies you? A loot box with some average enemy around? Idk man this is nothing for me.
Maybe if they didn’t get Idris Elba they could have sold this for 14.99? I could take him or leave him tbh,I don’t think celebrities have ever helped this game and I thought they learned their lesson.
Elba is a bad actor? That’s… new
Never said that. The acting in this game sucks from everybody.
Honestly, I think Idris Elba blows Keanu Reeves out of the water. Clearly we’re on very different wavelengths if you think the acting in this is worse than the base game.
I mean bad vs bad,who knows. Doesn’t really matter the acting was never good in this game
I disagree, with or without taking bugs into consideration. It was a great experience and if you liked the base game you’ll probably like the expansion too, if you didn’t like the base game then you won’t.
thats the thing i didnt hate it. i like the base game. this is really just more of the same, i just dont think its good value for 30 bucks.
What is worth 30 dollars to you…? You said you’d have paid 15 for this, which is absurdly low in this day and age. A small expansion pack in the early 2000s would have cost more than that.
You want double the content in this DLC for 30?
I think that 20 side missions and a bit more of story would have made this more acceptable. The base game is what 60 side missions for 60 bucks? Why should you get less value from this? Most of the work was already done
What a bizarrely corporate measure of quality this is… this is how you end up with mile wide, inch deep grind fests that just ooze “value” by pure volume. I think expecting this amount of content for $15 at this point just means that you can expect no content at all, because it won’t be commercially viable to keep all your dev teams spun up to work on it, along with patches.
These 10 side quests are not exactly great. They are worse than the base game and you get a pointless choice at the end of each
He probably loved the amount of “content” in Starfield.
I didn’t.
You’re gonna hurt a lot of CDPR Fanboys’ feelings with this post.
and i didnt even mention the bugs…
Nah, I’ll probably buy it based off of all the other information that’s out there for it. There’s no shortage of it.
That’s your right!
Waiting until I can get both in a “definitive edition” for $20 on sale.
The irony is you could get a cp2077 CD key day one for 20 dollars…
How is that ironic?
Still the best action-rpg. :D
Never argued against that
“just don’t buy it” sounds different, but I understand that you are just trying to stir some shit and don’t really care. :)
im really not, people here are just looking to fight for some reason.
I think it’s a fair criticism, not necessarily one I agree with, but the quantity of content available for the asking price certainly isn’t proportional to the base game, although it is quality content, bugs notwithstanding. I think maybe the only game that would come close to it on those terms would be Fallout: New Vegas.
I would hazard a guess that a large part of the pricetag probably isn’t just for the DLC though - It’s been three years since release and ostensibly the CP2077 dev team has been hard at work fixing the colossal fuckup the game was on launch day, and then some. There’s a lot of work that’s been put in to the systems overhaul in order to make the base game more functional and enjoyable, and I believe a lot closer to the original vision the team had before the marketing and hype (and death threats) nudged them to push out a rushed product, and all that’s getting packed in as a free update for a game that was probably underpriced at the typical $60 anchor point on release in 2020.
This post falls to meet the only rule at Beehaw: Be(e) Kind.
You’re entitled to your opinion, and this is a great space to share your opinions on things so long as you do so constructively, in good faith. The title of this post is divisive ragebait, the original post has no depth or detail, and the edit only adds more complaints about bugs without adding any detail to explain your original claims.
Please respect the only rule of this instance.
Are the missions long at least or is it something like 6 hours total?
50% fetch quests. If you use the teleport points you can finish this in half a day
Skipping the dialogues of course,which are dogshit acting anyway.
Are you fucking kidding? You should put this in your OP so everyone knows to completely disregard your post. You skip all the dialogue in an RPG and then complain that it’s too short and the missions are just fetch quests?
This has to be a troll post…
A very successful troll post as well. Would have thought people were smarter than that these days, especially in the fediverse.
I wouldn’t skip it if it was good,I read of course but I’m not gonna listen to bad acting.
I’m one ahead of you. I bought cyberpunk on sale and only played it for about 2 hours.
you should finish it i think the main game is pretty good
