Tl;dr; expansion pretty much change whole game, reworks core game mechanics and adds whole new district. Plus Idris Elba and more of Keanu with expansion having almost as much lines as core game.

Wouldn’t the controversy be that Cyberpunk is incomplete, and this expansion is actually the finished game?

I think additional content is fine, even if it’s expanding the story. That’s not super unusual even going back years ago to Baldurs Gate 2’s expansion finishing the story, and is often referred to as a trilogy due to the expansion, or Lord of Destruction.

It sounds like the changes made to the base game will be implemented even if you don’t buy this DLC which is good. Base game changes and improvements to AI shouldn’t be sold separately.

This is one of the things I love about Paradox games, when they release expansions they always release a free big patch with them to include all the non-expansion stuff.

If there was something that was incomplete about Cyberpunk, it was the stuff that they’ve done to the game up to this expansion that fixed problems it launched with. A game isn’t incomplete just because they add more to it later.

I don’t get that. Cyberpunk is by no means perfect. But how is it not a complete game? I put in a ton of hours and thoroughly enjoyed it. Are you saying that because the AI was bad, it’s incomplete? Cause very, very few games are complete if that’s the benchmark we use.

It got over hyped, but capital G gamers did what they do best and blew it out of proportion as if someone kicked their baby.

Note: I played on PC several months after launch. Maybe it was incomplete when it came out, but it sure as hell ain’t now.

There wouldn’t be any controversy if people stopped buying unfinished games, though.

Once you’ve bought it, you’ve signaled that it’s complete enough for you.

the overhaul is free though so you’re only paying for new story content

It’s weird to me that people say it was ever unfinished (prev gen consoles aside) It was buggy and wasn’t the life simulator nerds wanted but the story is among the best in video games and the game play is incredibly satisfying. While also having the best looking graphics of any game to date.
