Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

CDPR the company has made some obvious mistakes, but they're still one of the few independent self-published AAA studios out there left, let alone one of the few that is creative led and not fronted by some CEO who's resume consists of working for nothing but Forbes 500 businesses (cough Bobby Kotik cough). Maybe the only one left actually.

It's DRM-free, with no micro-transactions, no forced online bullshit, no shoehorned multiplayer components, and they take a thoughtful, artistic approach to narrative and world building nobody else in the industry can match. And for the first time, post-2.0 it feels like the gameplay has finally caught up to the quality of everything else they do so well. It's great and the future is bright for the series for sure.

Most likely the sequel won't star V. If they follow the blueprint Pondsmith has set with the tabletop, then it'll be Cyberpunk 2088 staring a new player protagonist set in Night City after some catastrophic event.

If course, they could literally do anything though. They could even set the game in a new city if they wanted. I'm sure some characters will return in some capacity either way.

Every ending in the game is a sendoff for the main character, so it’s highly unlikely we’ll be playing as V in the next installment.

when the belgian hard techno part kicked in during the NUSA spec ops part I lost my mind. PT Adamczyk is one of the best in the business for sure

I think a huge part of it though is the combat revamp that this DLC introduced and brought to the base game also made the base game infinitely better. 2.0's combat is imo the greatest first person action RPG combat of all time, it's just that visceral and fun. So if you go into the base game for the first time now, the combat, open world and story are enough of a hook to keep you playing for the long haul, even if the quests in PL are so much better.

if you've played it you know, but just look at this shit
