Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t have the best launch (lol). But some of us enjoyed the game despite its flaws. In the time since then, they’ve had nearly two years to patch the issues and add QoL.

Recently, I decided to give it another go and see how far it’s come since then and MAN did I enjoy the hell out of it! Like, way more than I expected. It’s really a much better game now than it was at launch.

I went right from finishing Cyberpunk to Starfield and boy did it make Starfield look bad. Like, not just visually (how can a two year old game look THAT much better than Starfield??) but I mean things like the combat and the role playing are just miles better in CP2077.

And in two days (Sep 21), version 2.0 will release. This is going to be a huge patch that’s free for everyone who already owns the game that adds and changes a bunch of stuff even if you don’t buy the expansion (which comes out a few days after that).

Given how good v1.6 (the current version) of CP2077 is, I’d say there’s no better time to dip into this game if it’s something you’ve been thinking about.

I’m really excited to play through again. With a different build, the gameplay will feel fresh regardless of the updates. And the role playing is deep enough that I can make different choices to see different results in most of the quests I’ll have to repeat. Neither of those things are true about Starfield.

    I could not bring myself to finish Starfield. Such an old feeling generic janky game. Fucking fast travel simulator. They didnt even bother to fix the NPC faces. Like 5% technical improvements since Fallout 4.
    Fuck that expensive crap.

    Also looking forward to the Cyberpunk update.
    Now maybe I can enjoy it. Love that world but I think I had every bug at release.

      Looking forward to CP2077 so I can stop trying to have fun in Starfield. That game just is not doing it for me, as much as I try.

      Damn I’m glad I bought AC6 at launch instead of Starfield, unlike half my friends lol. Pretty sure one of them got a save breaking bug on the same night I beat Balteus 😂😂😂.

      I’ll probably still get it, but it’ll be months from now after the modding community has gotten established and the problems have been mostly worked out.
