I've decided not to pre-order.

I'm very hesitant to even play the game after they dumb it down.
I've seen the previews and it doesn't look good for the skills screen

I liked having 7 or 8 passive skill lines to get up.
it allowed me to max out the # of skill points I got early game.

So first I'm going to try the patch, then watch some review and decide weather it's worth it after release!

I preordered when it first became available. I can’t really justify that though. The only thing extra is just that one vehicle. Probably should have waited, but I didn’t. I literally paid twice as much for the expansion as I did for the base game. Got cyberpunk right after 1.5 dropped for $14

I had planned to pre-order it.
Since my PC was to old for the add-on, I got a new PC.

And then I downloaded Cyperpunk 2077 from GOG to play it on my new PC.
But 3 of the files on the GOG download page are defekt.

The oldest Forum post to the problem is from July 8.
My support request is from 17. But the only reaction is the "Request received" mail.

When CD Projekt is unable to provide a working version for weeks, I fear the worst for the quality of the add-on.
Therefore: No pre-order.

I considered preordering, but then I saw all the various prerequisites to get all the content - such as owning Witcher 3, the Witcher card game, and using GoG Galaxy.

I have zero interest in utilizing either, so...I'll wait until the expansion is released, they have patched out the major bugs, and modders have added in the DLC content for free anyway through CET.

My heavily modded version of 1.6 works fine, and I see no reason to patch it, given all the stories of how anything above 1.61 apparently is broken.

I trust you contacted CDPR directly, and not using the GoG contact form.

As for the corrupt files, there seems to be a fix here:

No, I used the GoG contact form ...

At the Cyperpunk 2077 webpage, I found only support contact per twitter or facebook. No email, no contact form. Since I don't have twitter or facebook and I don't want twitter or facebook, I don't know, how I can contact the CDPR support ...

The GoG contact form is pointless. You'll get an automated reply, and I at least got a human response almost a month later. Got it fixed in the end though. Was related to a game refund.

1 minute on Google:
https://support.cdprojektred.com/en/cyberpunk/pc/sp-technical/issue/1568/contact-to-support

I've used that form myself, and they replied and I got helped (was related to a earlier game bug, which was later patched).

There is also apparently a fan a fix for the corrupted files here:

Nope. Not after CDPR over promised and under delivered. I’m going to wait and see. Might wait for it to be on a summer or winter sale before I buy it. By then, some of the dumb bugs should be patched out.

Plus, as a Linux only gamer, I want to make sure the expansion is fully playable out of the box. Chances are, it will be since I have to do no tinkering to play the game.

Already did.

<shrug> I figured I'd wait for player feedback. No rush.

Interesting... seems about half you who replied did preorder and half are gonna wait, like me.

To those of you who had trouble downloading the manual installers: they had a content delivery network failure the other weekend.. or maybe before.
Seems to be all fixed now though.

Nice to see another person playing on Linux.
1.63 works great for me, so I don't anticipate problems with the technical side of the next patch.

I'm just worried they've dumbed it down....

I preordered Phantom Lib

rationally there is no excuse to do so, not after THAT CP77 launch and the game till this day
missing a really interactive Open World that was advertised (more or less) in the 2018 Demo.

However, i am with CDPR and some of the developers for quite some time now
(yes those devs are still in the company) On top of that, CD Projekt Red was the only
Company that made me preorder a game EVER. At least regarding AAA Titles...
outside from CDPRs games i only have Subverse and SC which gives me rly bad vibes for
preordering it. (did it because of the package split back in 2014)
Subverse did not dissapoint me so far.

So me preordering this Add on, is more of a "direkt" second chance for the developers
on a personal level for me. I don't see me preordering any NEW games from the devs yet.
Because of Pjotrs ESG DEEP DIVE video, we will see though.

If the upcoming patches and the add on DO NOT change CP77 into the game the devs
invisioned early on in 2018 and even 2019. Then this will be definitly the last time i paid
for something beforehand.

What do i mean with CHANGE? Night City clearly needs a healthy dose of GTA SA
AI and not only the NCPD but also NPC AI needs a overhaul.

Gomorrah and other Clubs need to be opend and more interactive as well as the bars.
Yass i want my private lapdance :P but i presume that will come with mods anyway.
sooner or later

More minigames (interactive night city again) basically more fun and silly stuff to do in the
City OUTSIDE of the gigs and sidemissions and so on. That is where CP77 lacks the most.

Since you disliked that early release stuff, I'm surprised you are willing to preorder this.

I thought most of the Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 devs lefts CDPR...?

I also hope this expansion makes the world even more fun to explore.
I'm a bit worried it'll be all in the new area though.

I pre-ordered it on PS5, do I still get the GOG bonuses or do you have to purchase from here for them to apply other than the car?

Don t get me wrong, i do think CP77 is a good game. But it DOES lack so much that
was hinted in the 2018 demo and the lack of mentioned "GTA SA" Dose is what is holding
CP77 back from being a great game like Witcher 3

Yes, the devs i speak of are still with CDPR although it is true we lost quite a good junk
of even "important" devs.

As i said there is no justification to preorder PL, i just gave my personal reasons.
Objectively NO ONE should preorder it, until it is certain that the next patches and PL
will "overhaul" CP77 for good, as the YT creators claim.

no idea
there is a FAQ on their cyberpunk 2077 website, I think.
it might have your answer.
