I played when it was released. I didn’t have as many problems with it as everyone else, but I was a bit disappointed in some of the story.

I got busy and didn’t finish it. Since you just replayed it, how does it compare to the launch version?

I love that whole world and I’m excited to see where it goes in the future.

Compared to launch, it just has a lot more flow. They filled out a lot of the gaps. The original version had the Ubisoft problem of: pick destination, go to thing, complete mission, repeat. Now, in a good way, there are constant interruptions. It feels like a hectic future where you never get a moments peace with people often offering you new and interesting jobs.

I also took a lot more time to read all of the little logs I picked up. Again just helped with immersion a ton. If you give yourself the chance to try and make V yours, it has some unique opportunities to shine.

Last thing I’ll mention is Cyberware/Perks. The whole system was rebuilt and feels like you have a lot more direction for ideas. The bonuses feel specific enough not to be overpowered, but designed enough that you notice the difference.

Overall, it just made it easier to roleplay and imagine yourself in the world of Night City.

(also, not having crashes every 30-40 minutes helped)

That’s awesome. Seems like they’ve done a lot of work now. I just need time to play it again. Being an adult is hard. Haha
