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

I still have not played the 1st one, is it something I should pick up and play in order to understand this second one??

[–] AmbientChaos@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I haven't been paying super close attention to the DLC or its story so I can play it fresh, but I can reccomend the base game. I really enjoyed it on its own, very good story that was very well written and voice acted. It lacks the sandbox polish that something like GTA has, but has an incredible story, character ensemble, and the world building is top tier.

I'm stoked for the DLC to drop so I can get some of these features and more story!

[–] matcha@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nice but the new spec req make me unable to play the game now :)

[–] Emirose@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Very excited about any updates they can give to cyberpunk... despite the rocky launch, I really loved the game and wish people didn't glance over it so much.

[–] BrokenToshy@beehaw.org 3 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

[–] Xenxs@lemmy.world 2 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.

[–] Toxinflora@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

maybe i should get around to playing this game because i never quite got around to it

This sounds interesting. I've held off playing it waiting for at least a 75% or under $20 discount.

[–] ilco@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

il pireate the dlc 1ste .before im buyin it - i own the base game .never pre order .on day 1 .

[–] BigP@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] deruku@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Awesome, I look forward to my second playthough!

[–] RanchOnPancakes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] tedistkrieg@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] YellowGas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't wait to play this game for the first time when this expansion goes live. I've been a patient gamer and haven't even bought the game yet. Glad to see it will probably pay off especially since people seem to be happy with the game as is. There's going to be SO much to play this fall.

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Same here, I was hoping the game would get an overhaul like Square did with FFXIV, glad to see it happening. I'll probably pick up a used copy of it now, or see if it goes on sale on Steam soon.

[–] worfamerryman@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

In case anyone else is looking, it comes out in September. I am a bit excited about this, but I have not been gaming on desktop too much lately. I may have to make an exception.

[–] Shiggs@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

NGL, I just pre-ordered after reading this. I know folks HATE pre-ordering literally because of the first release of CP2077, but I loved that game so much and always felt like the internet just had a disproportionate tantrum over it.

This isn't to say that we shouldn't have been disappointed at all. I certainly wish that they didn't hype so hard, but I think of all the games to over-promise and under-deliver, Cyberpunk and the projektRED team didn't deserve poster child status.

Also, god damn Keanu as Johnny Silverhand fulfilled all of my Cyberpunk2020 dreams from my nerdy-ass childhood, and I don't want this IP to die. So I'll buy the game and expansion for PC. I know that I'll get it anyway, even if it has bad reviews, because I did the first time and didn't regret it for a second.

The only thing I'm still missing is an actual open world mode that isn't tied to the storymode. It does seem a bit like the DLC might bring that, but I'm not too certain yet to be honest.

[–] flibbertigibbet@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

That is like my wishlist for the game since it first came out.

I worry that people are reading too much into the police overhaul. It almost certainly won't be a GTA-style mechanism, but instead closer to "police enemies of various levels realistically spawn and pursue you."

Honestly the thing I'm looking forward to most is just the enemy AI overhaul.

[–] StrawberryCake@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Holy cow, i really need to buy it now, that looks pretty amazing

[–] Lyxea@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If they deliver all that i will be the happiest person ever

[–] Mjb@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

I'm definitely going to play through again with all of that added.

[–] kronicmage@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

The totk of cyberpunk

[–] ExponentialLegend@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If they can get close to what the witcher 3 delivered, then this would be one of the best games ever.
