CD Projekt recommends starting a new game when Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0 drops: 'starting fresh will enhance your overall gameplay experience' (www.pcgamer.com)

Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a mammoth-sized update, titled Update 2.0, tomorrow, September 21, and it promises to be a bit of a game changer. A police revamp, a progression overhaul, a new cybernetics system, vehicular combat, DLSS 3.5—it's vast, and thankfully separate from the Phantom Liberty expansion due next week, so you'll get all of this for free. With so many changes, the developer is naturally recommending that you experience it all on a fresh save, starting a new game rather than continuing an existing one.

It's entirely possible to just carry on with an old save, but making a new character will ease you into all of the big changes, most notably the skill system, which might be a bit jarring if you have to rebuild an existing character. "Due to the number of changes, starting fresh will enhance your overall gameplay experience," reads the tweet from CD Projekt Red.

Hey, chooms! While you'll be able to continue the game with your current character on an existing save, we recommend starting a new game after @CyberpunkGame
Update 2.0. Due to the number of changes, starting fresh will enhance your overall gameplay experience!

Cops are dangerous now, maxtac doubly so, and you can shoot out of cars while driving now.

So they're not just going to materialize out of thin air anymore?

Picard to maxtac:

ENERGISE

(tbf It never really bothered me, cyberpunk is one of my favourite games ever. The story, the voice acting the goofy and scary side missions. For me the jesus pose and the teleporting cops where forgivable.)

I've tried to keep my spoilers to a minimum, but from what I've read, MAXTAC has their own siren. At 5* wanted level, when you hear their siren, a little bit of poo will come out.

Police are apparently relentless too - at all wanted levels. Oh, and straying into a gang's territory with police on your tail can lead to interesting results lol.

I seriously can't wait! I love netrunning, now I can be the netrunning demon everyone fears!

The game has been out for three years. What is there to spoil?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm referring to the spoilers for the changes incoming in update 2.0.

Not everyone likes to read what's changed and want to experience it first hand. MAXTAC was not in the base game and is a huge part of the consequences of your actions on the street.
