When the DLC dropped they apparently redid the whole progression system so it’s more in line with what fans wanted. It honestly might be worth another try.
It's true. I don't hate it per se, but on very hard the first (nomad) car chase was actually impossible and I had to turn down the difficulty to pass it.
Now that I'm level 40, everything is way too easy again.
For me the game still isn't "fine." It's a lot more stable now but even with a completely fresh install and save I'm still running into a lot of the problems that was present during launch like all the civilians looking the same regardless of the setting you're on, NPCs running into each other and then choking up sections of the map. I just keep running into these NPC blobs where they just stand there and do nothing. There's still things they said they fixed like npcs materializing out of nowhere.
I played 40 hours and did most of the main story up until the final act. I had just come off playing almost 200 hours of the witcher 3 and the experience, the emptiness of it, the disappointment devastated me. So yeah I'm sure they've made some updates, but I'll always be left with that sadness of how long I waited and how horrible it was
I love and have well over 350 hours in Witcher 3 over the course of 3 playthroughs, and I just got cyberpunk and played it for the first time with the release of the 2.0 patch (and the DLC), and I have to say, I'm at around 120 hours and still have plenty left to do and am still having a blast.
I never rush the main story in games though. I want to squeeze every drop of content I can out of my first playthrough, bc I likely won't be doing another for a really long time.
