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.

[–] sederx@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I like cyberpunk. Not sure where you see an attitude

And why would you need to know my "settings"??

[–] Jako301@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At least the "character getting ejected" bug can have a direct connection with framerate issues and the corresponding settings. Most of the other stuff you've mentioned can be impacted by localisation, subtitle and accessibility settings.

[–] sederx@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

everything is default. games runs at 60fps

[–] Stillhart@lemm.ee 29 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] sederx@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] khalic@beehaw.org 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Elba is a bad actor? That’s… new

[–] sederx@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Never said that. The acting in this game sucks from everybody.

[–] WagesOf@artemis.camp 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"I never said Edris Elba is a bad actor"

Well pal, Edris Elba is an actor and is in this game. Saying all the acting in this game is bad IS saying that Edris is a bad actor.

[–] sederx@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago

No. In this game all the acting is bad which means is not about the specific actor.

Keanu reeves is a fine actor. He sucks here.

[–] Stillhart@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] sederx@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

I mean bad vs bad,who knows. Doesn't really matter the acting was never good in this game

[–] Sivick314@universeodon.com 5 points 2 years ago

@Stillhart @sederx personally, I was really missing the "crime" aspect of the game, so the fact that there's the ability to steal cars is a big plus for me. Can't believe it took them this long to implement something that fun into the game.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You’re gonna hurt a lot of CDPR Fanboys’ feelings with this post.

[–] sederx@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

and i didnt even mention the bugs..

[–] ampersandrew@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] sederx@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago

That's your right!

[–] Renacles@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Are the missions long at least or is it something like 6 hours total?

[–] cradac@feddit.de 47 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Check out howlongtobeat. It takes about 20 hours to complete main + side content. OP is just a really salty poster - take a look at his comment history.

[–] lemillionsocks@beehaw.org 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lol a new monthly issue of a comic can cost about $4-$6, breakfast at a cheap diner can get $10-$20, a 2 hour movie can be $20+, and of course there are $60 video games selling that are less than 20 hours long. Its really funny how undervalued videogame entertainment is.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I like "cost per hour" which is what you're getting at.

  • Movie at the theater: $16 total.
    • $8/hr
  • drinks with friends, at 1 drink an hour for 4 hours
    • $7/hr
  • Dinner out, decent restaurant 40/person
    • 20/hr
  • Cyberpunk dlc, $30, 20 hrs to beat
    • $1.50/hr

Yeah I'd say that's a pretty good entertainment value per hour compared to other leisurely activities for me. I apply this to most entertainment things and it does help. I find comparing things to going to the movies is the best, if it's more per hour than a movie in a theater than no it's probably not worth it. Those stupid $50 slingshot rides? Nah.

[–] sederx@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Stillhart@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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...

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

A very successful troll post as well. Would have thought people were smarter than that these days, especially in the fediverse.

[–] sederx@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

I wouldn't skip it if it was good,I read of course but I'm not gonna listen to bad acting.

[–] BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Waiting until I can get both in a "definitive edition" for $20 on sale.

[–] sederx@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The irony is you could get a cp2077 CD key day one for 20 dollars...

[–] Hdcase@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

How is that ironic?

[–] dino@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Still the best action-rpg. :D

[–] sederx@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] dino@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"just don't buy it" sounds different, but I understand that you are just trying to stir some shit and don't really care. :)

[–] sederx@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

im really not, people here are just looking to fight for some reason.

[–] stagen@feddit.dk 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This sounds like mindless bashing. No matter your intentions. Maybe form a more mature title for the post as a start?

Condemning an entire DLC on the grounds of a few bugs seems a bit like jumping to conclusions, too. Perhaps play the DLC through before you bemoan it for being "sucky" and judge it on the content rather than it's superficial flaws, which i might add are rare and far between.

You come off as someone who's angry they had to pay 30 bucks and go into the game expecting bad things.

Let go of your intentions and your preconceptions and just go into the game to get an experience.

[–] sederx@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i didnt do that, just added the bugs in an edit.

the problem is lack of content

You come off as someone who’s angry they had to pay 30 bucks and go into the game expecting bad things.

i mean that would be impossible since i didnt pay for it.

Let go of your intentions and your preconceptions and just go into the game to get an experience.

i finished the game before opening this.

[–] stagen@feddit.dk 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

i mean that would be impossible since i didnt pay for it.

Then you really have nothing to complain about and this whole thread is moot.

[–] sederx@programming.dev 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

hen you really have nothing to complain about and this whole thread is moot.

you can only tell your opinion if you lose money? its the first time i hear this. interesting take but i disagree.

[–] stagen@feddit.dk 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're the one who brought up the pricetag, thus it's relevant to your argument and my rebuttal.

[–] sederx@programming.dev 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

because i know people will consider buying it. jsut because i didnt doesnt change that.

[–] stagen@feddit.dk 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're really dismantling your own argument here.

[–] sederx@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

... im sure thats what happened in your mind.

good luck with everything

[–] Bratwurstboy@iusearchlinux.fyi 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] Shalakushka@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

We will make sure you asked before posting anything else, very sorry

[–] sederx@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Nobody? In just telling people to save their cash.

What's wrong with you?

[–] Bratwurstboy@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What's wrong with you ? Go enjoy that steam free system of yours. I hope you get over the emotional pain caused by a failed cloud sync.

[–] sederx@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

my man seek help. like professional help. i have no idea how coud i upset you like this...

[–] Bratwurstboy@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're the one ranting about shit for no reason lmao

[–] sederx@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

you dont understand forums do you?

did somebody force you to reply to this post? is somebody forcing you to be a cunt? did somebody force you to check my history and get butthgurt because i dont like the same stuff you do?

no, you took each of those choices and then acted like i took a shit in your porch.

voluntarily seeking things you dont like is a problem you should discuss with a professional.

best of luck, im gonna block you now for your own good.

I'm one ahead of you. I bought cyberpunk on sale and only played it for about 2 hours.

[–] sederx@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

you should finish it i think the main game is pretty good
