    They've never asked for a second purchase for Enhanced Editions before; I don't know why people are thinking you would need to for Cyberpunk.

    There was a short promo period at the GotY's launch where if at the time of the promo you had the base Witcher 3 and both story expansions you could upgrade to the GotY edition for free, otherwise (and is still the case) you have to buy it again.

    That makes sense, though? GotY is not the Enhanced Edition; it was just the "this is an old game with DLC, here is the one-purchase bundle" option. If you had the game and the DLC already, it just combined so you could download/install it all as one thing. If you don't have anything, buy the GotY and now you have it all. If you just have the base game and none or just 1 of the DLC, buy the individual DLC(s) you're missing and now you have it all.
    There's nothing in the GotY that isn't available in base game + both DLC purchases.

    Maybe the confusion with Witcher 3 is I don't think it ever got an Enhanced Edition? It got next-gen console upgrades, but again, was free if you already had the game. Otherwise it just got the usual patches and the two paid DLC expansions.

    My point is the only thing I want to see from CDPR is Cyberpunk: Fixed Edition.

    I played it through on the Series X and had no issues

    It runs great for me on the Series X. Check Digital Foundry's YT channel.

    I would say the $10 version would be a decent bet to grab and then wait for the actual next gen versions to come, but there is a possibility they could pull a Control and charge for those updates, making the $10 disc a coaster. Since all of their plans fell to pieces, I am very concerned about that being a thing.

    Ism't the content the same in The Witcher 3's case, though? Just all rolled into one rather than game+two expansions+16 free DLCs?

    Witcher 3 GotY has been given away for free so many times though. I doubt anyone pays for it anymore.

    In case anyone was wondering about Silverhand's new alternative look option:





    On anyone else this hair-style might work... But I have to say I'm not a fan.
    The new jacket and vehicle DLC are just kind of 'meh'.

    TBF W3 did also release some throwaway cosmetics for free. But that was like a few weeks or like a month after the game came out and not 9 months later 😆

    Also witcher 3 was feature complete when they released it and was not missing features they discussed as working 2 months before release.

    I… don’t actually think Cyberpunk needed those features and kind of think that the customization mechanics are some of the worst things in the game. But like. It still doesnt have the features it had claimed it would like weeks before launch

    Apparently Best Buy is so desperate to get rid of their stock they sent me two copies?

    Edit: No, they just emailed the steel case separately for some reason. Good lord, that's some fugly art.

    So silly question, not sure if anyone knows the answer to this. Were these vending machines supposed to have like a full menu "touch screen" interface like it appears and they ran out of time and slapped a burrito thing on it?

    So, gotta say... the Full Gameplay Rebalance mod is a pretty sweet game changer. If you are on PC and haven't looked at it, you should. I've been playing with it for a bit now and heartily endorse it.

    a lot of those changes seem, from a skim, eminently sensible

    there were a lot of absolutely trivially broken cases in almost every system so there is a good chance that even a mod that misses 25% of its calls should be dramatically improving how the systems work

    also lol

    I'm sweating bullets just thinking about Oda getting a buff. That fight is already supremely wonky as hell.
    I've seen the fight twice. In my playthrough i went for a tech/int V. craft your own weapons, use quickhacks. I didn't do too many sidequests, played on the 2nd hardest difficulty, Oda was a bullet sponge that could 2 shot me. Took FOREVER to kill the guy as my bullets did no damage. In a different playthrough, all sidequests and NCPD thingies were done. hardest difficulty. mantis blade build. Oda went down in 5 seconds.

    tip.. tip.. TALLY.. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    Oda:
    Yeah, the fight against Oda goes a lot better if you're playing as a whirling quick-hacking death-blender build with poisoned/flaming Mantis Blades. That was fun.
    Slice and dice, baby! :D

    My problem with rebalance mods are that they are usually like 90% sensible then 10% some crazy shit the creator put in cause they thought it'd be cool/hardcore.

    You're not wrong. I almost never use them for this reason.

    This one, though, seems pretty solid, based on my experience so far. Also, it is well documented, modular, and very user-friendly to edit as desired through simple text editing of the [meticulously commented] config files.

    This has actually tempted me towards trying the game out again. If by this mod and what I've read of the patch notes, hacking isn't insanely broken anymore. Then I'm gonna try throwing a few mods on and see if my Corpo Hackninja™ run works out fun.

    It sounds like they are all subcontracting under a company founded by one of the modders. So, they will probably work remotely and have a nice resume line and contacts for future work or creating their own game down the line.
