I don’t think that’s a hot take at all. PL is amazing!

Not a hot take. The truth :3

It’s so packed with content and has amazing writing I can see where you’re coming from

Oh right, next you’re gonna say the gigs were better too. As if!

Not a hot take, fully agreed with you. Also I think it helped that the story was told in a more focused and streamlined way. A big chunk of the main game is doing side activities, while PL put more emphasis into the cutscenes, characters and giving them a believable background.

coldest take possible about this game
Human-Kick-784
The side content in base game has some truly god tier content; the peralez and farm ones In particular are absolutely amazingly good.
But the main quest in the expansion is just so damn good. IMO phantom libery is the better story

I personally preferred DogTown over NightCity.
It felt more “alive” and dystopian. What I mean is in the world of Cyberpunk you can imagine you’re self as being at the top and in Night City there’s literally groups of people who have a “fighting” chance at being the top of what ever they are.
Steal this chip from this gonk and bam you’ll be paid for an “easy” job. But with Dogtown EVERYBODY is suffering and unless you’re literally in the top 1 percent you’re gonna suffer and I feel like it mimics the real world

PL is way more elaborate in setup, mang. I will say the Star ending, though, is an INCREDIBLE ending.

Mf’s will say hot take and drop the coldest take known to man

I see them both as the same thing. The way cdpr streamlined the expansion in was amazing

Not at all

Not a hot take at all. If a movie were going to be made of this game I’d rather they focus on the dlc and just have a truncated version of the main quest sprinkled in.

Hot take: Both PL and base game stories are equally incredible
jrdnmdhl
Not the case at all for me.
ILongForTheMines
Most RPG DLCs have better stories than the base game

both, both is good

So when is the best time to start phantom liberty if im starting a new game? I’ve already completed the base game before.

It’s more emotional and I needed the double amount of copium after.

Not even a lukewarm take

One of the key issues with the main quest is that it’s tough to role play properly. By its nature, it introduces a sense of urgency (V has got a limited shelf life) yet the game is encouraging you to care about all kinds of side content at the same time which doesn’t reconcile. I mean if you’re struggling to find a cure and survive a life threatening illness, you’re not going to be motivated to go off and do a bunch of unrelated side-quests. I struggle with that. You’re somewhat forced to just put the whole main quest on ice for an extended period that just doesn’t make sense.
Whereas with PL, you’re mostly focused on helping others and they space those parts of the main quest out realistically so it makes more sense to inject a bit of selfish side content in that situation.

I agree. For me Dogtown feels much more alive than Night City too.

Literally dry ice temperature take

This is not a hot take.

Take so cold one might think it’s karma farming bait.
