I've been a HUGE cyberpunk fan since day one, never bothered by any bugs etc. as the story of the main game was really fantastic in my eyes. So of course I was damn excited for some brand new content but it seems im kind of... disappointing? underwhelming?
I can't really put my finger on it, but PL just doesn't fly for me the same way the base game does. It doesn't really feel like a part of V's story for me. Suddenly getting involved with the god damn president all that NUSA/FIA stuff just seems so over the top and out of place for V.
One thing that makes CP2077s story so neat is the irrelevance of V at a greater scale, some quest do a really great job of "putting you to your place" because V just doesn't have the power/influence to rip off some main-character-hero-cliche-move to bend everything to a preferred outcome, and suddenly we're the only contact person to rescue the president?
And as the story continues, I just can't connect with any of the characters... as much as I adore idris elba as an actor, I didn't really care for what reed or songbird had going on... some stuff like the identity-theft thingy with the twins were nice touches though.
The unlocked ending for the main game also kinda sucks to be honest, i'll rather stick with the nomads for my personal cannon...
I don't really know what I expected overall, but the whole thing wasn't really all that entertaining for me and somehow felt strapped onto the main story rather than nicely flowing into it.. maybe I just wished for a dlc with something really f*ck off crazy like it turns out brandon was actually sentient and made it behind the blackwall and seems to have a way figured out to extract johnny to the net... I mean with all the possibilities that night city holds, PL just kinda felt not all that creative for me...
Well, not really a rant as I dont particularly dislike anything about the dlc or mean to hate, I just wanted to share my thoughts...
