I don’t claim to know much about this but I guess it pulled a No Man’s Sky and patched in everything that needed to be fixed or added. And it’s half off on steam right now so I’m considering pulling the trigger. Should I?

    I thought it was just a new story. Are they changing more than that? I was thinking about buying the game+dlc on offer over at GoG to play on my Ally when it arrives tomorrow.

      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
      • 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
      • the difficulty curve is reworked/rebalanced
      • the loot tiers are reworked
      • archetypes of enemies have been redone for more variety in combat encounters
      • 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 is instead tied to your cybernetics
      • vehicle combat is added to the game, you can even use your katana on your bike
      • you will be able to hack vehicles, similar to the Watch Dogs games
      • vehicles are no longer bought from fixers, but bought through a website set up by wakako
      • 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

        How much of this is going to be part of the free Patch and how much is going to be included in the DLC.

        I know some overhauls will be part of the patch (Police rework and vehicle combat) but I can image they wont put everything of this list in the free patch.

        Thanks for the detailed summary. I was going to play this next but I’ll continue to be a PatientGamer until this is released and I get the best gameplay possible.
