my biggest issue was the bullet sponging and totally unbalanced combat, youd either be a god that couldnt die or someone who has to land 50 headshots with a sniper rifle to kill someone

    I'm about 6 hours in on the dlc, I had a level 37 cyberdeck build I used going into it, playing on normal difficulty…I'm pretty godly, but the cyberdeck builds have always been OP. The rebalanced skill trees encourage you to max out 2-3 stats and dump the rest. All in all, the game finally feels like what was promised at launch. I respecced into a couple other build types just to try them out, I REALLY enjoy the combat with the blades, I felt like a futuristic cyber samurai. All in all, I'm really enjoying it, crank up the difficulty if you want more of a challenge for sure. Not sure if it was worth a total of $90 us, and a three year wait after release for a completed game, but so far I'm really liking it. The dlc gives me escape from New York crossed with new Vegas vibes. Try it again with the free update and decide from there, if you like the gameplay, then totally get phantom liberty!

      Idk if I would recommend it at $90, but right now the base game and expansion are bundled for $60.70 on steam.

      It sucks for the pre-order customers that what they really got was 3 years of early access, but for someone jumping in right now, that's a solid deal.

        Damn, that actually kind of pisses me off…I got the gog version because I've been a supporter of theirs for like 10 years. At 60.70 it's definitely worth it
