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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    What’s the point of your post? You think it sucks and regret buying and playing it, OK.

    I however enjoyed it very much and I wish CDPR would chuck out more expansions. Now what?

    And yes, there are bugs. Show me a game of this scale that does not have bugs. At least it’s not a shit show like CP2077 at release date

      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.

            How do you define a role playing game?

            You’re playing as a person in an alternate reality.

            You have character stats and builds.

            Someone else is in control of the overarching narrative (you can’t just decide to become a plumber for example).

              Stat blocks don’t make an RPG.

              Part of the definition is that you in fact play a role. This means making decisions from their perspective as if you were them and their world was your reality. Any game that doesn’t allow you to make informed, meaningful decisions isn’t actually a role playing game.

              Naturally, video games can’t really give you total freedom in that regard, as any option you can pick needs to be anticipated and coded by the developer. But there are candidates that fit the requirement somewhat more and those that definitely don’t.

              Cyberpunk, while being a fun experience, doesn’t really give you a lot of meaningful choices, at least not in the bigger quests, especially not the main plot. Most often different dialogue choices only lead to slightly different answers and the same outcome. You can’t decide to rat Panam out to Militech when stealing the tank for example. You’re not really playing the role of V, you’re watching their story play out and maybe deciding what to do first and last.

              CDPR have their own inhouse example of a better RPG to compare against.

          tbf the fast-forwarding way you can skip dialogue and just read the subtitles without missing anything is one of the best things introduced in this game

            Okay, so you basically reduce the game’s content because you nullify major sections due you not liking it then claim it doesn’t exist? In the end all RPGs are based on the variations “talk to someone” with action being the second thing. I wish you don’t ever start playing Final Fantasy 14 which has like 60% of the content are cutscenes and dialogue.

        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…

    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.

    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.

    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.
