Currently, I’m waiting for a sale that puts the base game and phantom liberty at around £25.
Am I being a bit silly?
Is it worth picking up the next time GOG do a sale for around £38?
Edit: I’d just like to say thank you to everyone who has responded with useful information, and opinions on the game.
I think I may treat myself next time the base game is £25 (and I have a weekend to play!)
Just wanted to plug in case you weren’t already aware, isthereanydeal is a pretty great one stop shop for looking for sales across a ton of storefronts. Pretty easy to import a steam wishlist to it as well.
Personally, Imma wait for it until I have a machine that can run it in its full glory and a screen that can display it in its full glory. So gonna take a couple years, but I‘m not running out of good games to enjoy in the meantime.
only you can really answer that, worth is fairly subjective.
The game has been in good shape for quite a bit, for most players on pc, anyway.
I guess it kinda depends, is it strictly a budget question or is this about the quality of the product? For “those on board the hate-train” the game is irredeemable forever, for “fanbois” it’s been great always. Personally I’ve gotten closer to 600 hours of funtime out of it, so money-units per time-unit ratio is pretty good, but obviously your mileage will vary.
edit: and if this is about budget, do consider that the game does require rather hefty pc to run, RT on or off.
Honestly, less budget, more just not spending money that I don’t need to. From what others are saying, I think I might just get the base game at £25 when it’s next that on GOG, then get the DLC down the line.
DLC itself almost never goes on sale; you’ll be waiting for an eventual game of the year edition like 3-5 years out. CyberPunk 2.0 has all the base game improvements of Phantom Liberty, and easily 100 hours of content without the DLC.
I bought the base game alone, on sale, after phantom liberty and was very happy with it. I rarely finish games but played through to the end. The epilogue I got was really quite satisfying and while I was excited to try some of the other endings, haven’t gone back to it. It felt complete.
I have played the main game and while I thought it was okay, it was also nothing particularly special. The typical wide but shallow but pretty but story free design of any open world game.
Do you like open world games? You’ll love it. Do open world’s bore you? You won’t love it.
I am happy I only paid 20 for the main game, at that price it was quite alright. The main story and dialogue are exceptionally bad even for an open world game, but the writing of the bigger side quests makes up for that and some are fantastic. Judy in particular is really well done and her extra portions and romance were fantastically voiced, too.

A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I agree.
Although I had way more fun in the game before the patch that changed the skill trees.
To OP: The rough launch of the game made for some pretty steep sales. Idk if they’ll go that low again for awhile.

I’m still very pleased with the purchase.
