Disappointing. Like getting a socks for Christmas.

Disappointing. Like getting a socks for Christmas.

I mean, they were supposed to be done wit updates for this title after the last one, right? So I guess I see this as an unexpected bonus.

When I tried to play Phantom Liberty late last year, I was disappointed to find I had key binding issues I didn't have during my initial playthrough of Cyberpunk.

I cant remember what they were now, but I vaguelty remember them being related to weapons or hacking. Can't recall.

I don't think they were the W and S while driving they mention in the release notes (but that would have bothered me as well)

In my original play through I had been able to configure every single key, but in the Phantom Liberty release some were hard coded.

It's ****ing annoying that this keeps happening (pardon my french). It's as if among the legions of testers these companies employ, not a single one of them uses a non-standard keyboard binding setup. Like, if they had even one they would catch this immediately.

And yet it keeps on happening with release after release.

And no. I refuse to switch to WASD. I've been using arrow keys since Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM and Quake, I built a keyboard binding layout I really like during my Counter-Strike years, and given the thousands of hours I've used it since in both Counter-Strike and countless other FPS titles, it is so ingrained in my muscle memory at this point that changing is not an option.

I know, I can always remap keys in registry (or using a registry tweaking tool) but that is annoying, and I really shouldn't have to.

There should never be any hardcoded keys in any game. Absolutely everything needs to be bindable.

I'm impressed, considering they were planning to do no more updates.

Found this in the log: "

• Optimized threading system to improve performance by up to 33% on Intel Arrow Lake based CPUs."

This 100%.

That's why it seems like procrastination. They are delaying working on a sequel to put out a meaningless update for this game a year after the only DLC.

And it didn't even live up to the hype they generated, only expanding a few features the majority doesn't care about, nor asked for.

I never could finish this game. I tried it 3 times, just lose interest after about 4 hours.

Maybe I'll fire it up one last time and give it another shot.

To each their own.

The Johnny story and the environment of this title sucked me in like few others have.

I'd rank it up there as the best title I have played in the last 5 years at least. Possibly even 10.

I agree with that despite hating the whole Johnny angle. The Phantom Liberty story clicked much better with me.

The writers for CD Projekt Red are very good at writing dialogue. I don't know if anyone noticed, but the level of speech between the poorer population and the wealthier population is strikingly different and well-written. Just like Witcher 3, the poorer groups had more earthy and looser language compared with the wealthy's more nuanced and careful speech. Good contrast: Peralez (I Fought the Law) with the bartender Pepe and his wife (Raymond Chandler Evening).

I'm all for more patch content for Cyberpunk 2077.
