In preparation for the update’s release tomorrow, check out the list of changes below.

New features


<span style="color:#323232;">V's issue with their NCART City Pass is resolved and they can now travel between the 19 metro stations located throughout Night City on 5 different lines via fast travel or riding the train itself while gazing out the window and watching the world go by.

<span style="color:#323232;">V will now be able to invite their love interest to spend some time together in any of the apartments. Hangouts are a repeatable, unlimited event that become available once the romance path with a given character has concluded.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">You can now listen to the radio while on foot (or while riding the NCART train) using the new Radioport feature. Available while you explore, it switches seamlessly to car radio whenever you get in a vehicle and turns off when quest-specific music starts playing. It is now also possible to adjust the volume directly in the radio window.

RampantParanoia2365,

I just flew off my motorcycle after a crash. I’m pretty sure this is new.

Death_Equity,

Old, hit many things on the bikes and flew up in the air.

RampantParanoia2365,

Really? I’m nearing the end of the story, and I’ve yet to fly off before.

Death_Equity,

Take Jackie’s Arch and redline it into the back of a surprisingly agile road barricade that can’t stop a motorcycle from hitting the back of an NCPD patrol car at an unfortunate time.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Mod users need not apply (until at least a month)

I like official updates more than mods, it’s all been disabled baby!

buskbrand,

Most mods I can temporarily do without, but Smarter Scrapper is the exception - life’s too short to spend several minutes going through the inventory and manually disassembling lower-tier gear.

I’ll check if it still works, if not, time to take a short break.

BmeBenji,

The new gang interactions in the open world sound so fuckin cool.

@registrert@lemmy.sambands.net avatar

Just finished the b@d malware mission and when I came out of the megatower I kinda just hung around while doing some stuff IRL. Suddenly detection warning and combat music?

MF’s actually sent someone to check out why their data op suddenly went quiet. Two cars full of gangsters, I was completely unprepared so I got murdered pretty good.

Great stuff!

BruceTwarzen,

Can't wait until the two year old game is finished

c0c0c0,

Then you’ll be thrilled to know that this is probably it.

BmeBenji,

Any particular reason you’re hanging around here if you don’t like the game?

registrert,
@registrert@lemmy.sambands.net avatar

To be honest I love the game but due to it’s… production history I’ve not consider it “done” until pretty much now. And that’s only because we’re in the final patches time. It’s still nowhere near what actual advertising material “promised”, no matter what hyped expectations gamers had.

On the other hand, the games I’ve enjoyed the most for last decade have been “WIP’s”, released too early, still in production (early access) etc.

MeatsOfRage,

What do you feel was promised that you didn’t get?

registrert,
@registrert@lemmy.sambands.net avatar

By CDPR, in the official promo material?

In this update, the player can finally invite the “romance” to visit their home. From promo material gamers were shown how they could date and romance almost anyone and bring them home for a one-night stand.

I still want to be able to climb walls. I want an immersive weather system that impacts the player and mission outcomes that truly impacts the world. Proper weapon customization, voice customization, lifepaths meaning more than just the occasional dialogue option. And so on. Lots of small things that together makes for a richer experience.

Of course mods have added a lot of these and other features so I’m quite happy with the overall experience. And I never was all in on the hype train so I’m not personally disappointed that they’re not in the game. But I still recognize that CDPR overpromised to the point that 2 years of patching wouldn’t get them over the finishing line.

takeda,

I just looked at some trailers and I actually didn’t see these. Is it possible that these things were what some fans were hoping the game would have, or did I miss some additional trailers?

MeatsOfRage,

The game is 3 years old and it’s been finished for most of that time. None of the stuff was promised initially, they’re just making an already great game better which is something that’s incredibly rare for games of this scale.

Why are you even here

franklin,
@franklin@lemmy.world avatar

Oh man, this is going to sound lame but I’m super excited to try the metro.

Fuzzypyro,

Not lame at all. That’s what got me excited on this post too.

BmeBenji,

In my opinion, great games always have gameplay designed around experiencing the world that the developers created. CDPR are so skilled at making atmospherically immersive worlds that I don’t think that’s a weird thing to look forward to at all.

RampantParanoia2365,

I woke up this morning, checked to see if it was installed, booted the game and drove straight to the metro. Mostly just on my rear wheel.

Murdoc,

The metro mod is actually pretty popular. I know I’m looking forward to this.
