Although this patch did make my crit build not as effective, I think this was a verry needed update. Excited for when they add any serious DLC to this game!

I'd been holding off buying Cyberpunk and honestly was not expecting such a HUGE improvement. It seems like over night CDPR managed to not only extinguish the dumpster fire but salvage awesomeness. I just wish the greedy ones upstairs had shown patience and let the devs work out the kinks and release this game when it was properly cooked.
Still needs a little polish I think. Clothing is a hot mess (and my character looks like they robbed homeless people for their pants and teeny ravers for their shirts) and could really, REALLY, do with a re-work. I expected each store would be tailored to a specific style rather than buying bag-lady quality clothes from a High end store because of the stat bonuses it offers. I tried ignoring stats and going with style but Ground Hog Day deaths because my pc looks cool but is weak as piss got tired real quick. Why do all the NPCs look waaayyy cooler than I can dress V?
I've only encountered a few bugs, mainly NPCs leaning against walls while sharing the same space. Hey, maybe its some obscure gene hack and they paid big eddies to look like that?
I can't believe people genuinely play with damage numbers on. They are essentially useless numbers that clutter the screen in a gamey fashion. It's really out of place in my opinion.
They 100% need to remove scaled weapons and armour. I don't want 100 guns exactly the same but with different damage numbers. Yawn. A UNITY pistol should just be a UNITY pistol and any changes should come from mods. Same with clothes. This would mean we can finally use the stuff we want and instead spend time making our equipment good, instead of spending time finding items we can only use for half an hour. It would be cool to see new vending machines that could do this. Take an item of clothing to a vending machine and pay to add mod slots to it for instance. Those with Crafting could do it themselves with parts ect..
When I first started I used Armadillo on every gear item. Now, my old saves will need reworked. I am having fun with the nanowire, and took the animals in GIM pretty quickly with it. I love the extra apartment options. Shows different styles in night city. Running my 4th playthrough has a definate different feel.
Hey man, would you mind uploading a video sharing how you created your female V in the thumbnail? Would be very much appreciated if that’s not too much trouble
builds doesn't really matter at this point honestly. the game is still in the process of fixing things up, there's no new content being added yet so yea it doesn't really matter if some builds struggle in 1.5
Completely agree with your assessment AbraHamSandwich! My old character was an indestructible Terminator that one-shotted his way through 3/14's of my playthrough. I completely ignored the Intelligence tree in my first playthrough. This time around, I am playing as Intelligence Based Netrunner. I think that THIS is the broken build as of build 1.5. You bring down the resistances and stats of your enemies, crippling and killing them with QuickHacks without ever engaging them directly. In fact, I'm already at level 26 w/50 street cred by farming the NCPD jobs. Heck, I was level 11 in Act 1 just by farming NCPD jobs verses Tyger Claws, the lowest ranked gang. save the Valentinos until you're level 18+.
I personally think the nerf is a bit too brutal. At least let me have three slots on legendary clothing. I get to a point now where none of my guns do enough damage to be viable and I just punch everything.
Well i did not play that game since 6 month i guess, so with that new patch, i wanted to give it a try but when i launch it, it crashes immediately. I will have to remove all my mods or try to find an update for them and it just annoys me a lot. So for the moment the game is totally broken for me. I don't even feel to play without mods since i spent about 400 hours with them!
Dooood. I had a common electric katana spawn in the first mission of my second play through and I was upgrading it as I played because ITS SUPER RARE TO have modded swords, but the game erased the benefit in the new update. Along with all the movement speed / fall damage buffs i had on my outfits. My legendary items are now useless. I’m very sad with how they restricted the customization. I think they just needed to fix the enemy leveling. The clothing was the best part of the game. Now I’m halfway in between not returning, or just starting a third play through from start to finish with this build to see if I still enjoy it as much as i did when i first started playing the game.
I'm trying to play this game but man I'm so confused. The inventory is terrible. In combat I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm trying stealth but I get spotted immediately. If I do get behind someone to take them out the grab icon shows up for a second then it's gone (or I get hung up on something) and the guy turns around. Enemies are bullet sponges. I'm shooting at 1 guy for what seems like 2 minutes. I can't play this much longer.
its a shame as well because while i do like a lot of the new changes and i know its a huge step in the right direction, the fact that i can't reset my attributes has kinda broke my original character build because of the mistakes i made, i know i can reset my perks but because i stupidly decided to share out my attributes points between everything, im only decent at stuff not really a master and i would love the option to reset my attributes before new game plus because i need to fix my build in order for the xp to be useful.
Problems is they don’t want to fix it they just keep u reeling and sell the game to new players if they made it perfect it would be the end of the game. I just fix the game myself with mod. Hdr mod is way better than their ray tracing which is none existing if u don’t have ray tracing video card.

Have you or are you doing to do a "samurai" or blade heavy build for 1.5 ? Would really like to see one

because of this i started a new game too many changes also for the rewards and its big time ☺️☺️

Great video. Game plays much better on series x now though I’m still not completely happy on how it controls.
Anyway, now that Elden Ring is out I think It will allow me to wait for 2.0
But mucho more impressed compared to what was released
