Played the game for as long as I can remember, back when picking up the landline phone would disconnect the internet, but after this update (read money grab), I'm cancelling my 5 subscriptions.

They just recently added their own "Battlepass" in a form called the "Hero Pass". Not only is it setting an even worse precedent that previous iterations by REQUIRING you to either spend $31.98 USD in Bonds (Their Tradable currency you can buy for real money), or buy their 12 month membership 'premier' bundle for $79.99 USD to get all the rewards, but more than half of those rewards are pay to win garbage. Everything from crafting components for Necromancy to reducing damage taken in elite dungeons. This is egregious and disgusting. On top of this they have made it a SLOG just to go through the ranks to the point that there’s no doubt in my mind they want people to buy progress on the pass.

It costs 8 Bonds to purchase 40 ranks on the pass, that is equivalent to $63.98 USD, or $191.96 USD if you buy 120 ranks, and that doesn't include the cost of buying the "Premier Hero Pass unlock" for 4 Bonds which costs $31.98 USD. or spending $79.99 USD for their Premier Club package, so the actual price is either $223.94 USD (4 Bonds for pass+ 24 Bonds for 120 Ranks) or $271.95 USD (12M Premier Club* 24 Bonds for 120 Ranks).

They want you to spend nearly $300.00 USD on pay to win TRASH.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS MESS.

I mean, it's Cyberpunk - no other game like it. Yes, there are bugs here and there, but the story is so good you don't really see the issues. I'd buy this and play it again in a heart beat.

Story line and all the visual/audo effects were incredible. Unforunately, the game play itself was lacking. Setup camp? 30 seconds. Fast travel? 60 seconds. Too much time and takes away from the immersion..
