    Kind of unimpressed with 2.0 so far. Still buggy as hell (T-Posing, Car Spawn crashes / is undriveable, AI still easily exploited and stupid)

    Perk changes are cool but its not at all the overhaul I thought it would be.

    Played female v when I first ran through the game, any reason against playing male v if I’m restarting? I’ve always heard female v was better but idk why. Only difference I know of is you can’t romance Judy.

      Apart from who you can romance it’s only down to preference. Many people say Fem V is the better voice actor, but having experienced both I would say they shine in different moments. I probably like Masc V better as Streetkid/Nomad and Fem V better as Corpo. Also, for some of the most charged moments during the ending(s) I liked Masc V’s delivery better.

      I’d say to Masc V this time to see the differences.

        Same here, corpo Valerie and nomad Vincent seem like the best match. Even in terms of romances, if you can stand going through Panam’s lol.
        They definitely give off different vibes so I’d say it’s worth experiencing both for sure.

    I still want to look into some reviews, but I’ll probably end up buying Phantom Liberty. The 2.0 update has been a lot of fun for me. The rebalancing of weapons, perks, and cyberware has made my build a lot less boring. It was too OP ik the end game, being able to basically kill all enemies without them seeing me. But now my sniper cannot shoot through walls anymore and I constantly run out of quickhack RAM which forces me to use health for quickhacks instead using the overdrive ability.

    The police chases are also good fun. It makes the city feel a lot more dynamic. The police will basically engage anything that hurts them. So you can get them to resolve their own NCPD sidequest thingies by leading them into a crime scene with other enemies. They’ll also shoot at civilians or each other. This lead to a peak America moment where a civilian car got launched in a car crash, and because it hurt one officer all the police in the area started shooting this poor civilian car that was flying through the air. It’s been a lot of fun to just drive around and mess with the police system.
