A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Should I continue waiting for Cyberpunk? (self.patientgamers)

Currently, I'm waiting for a sale that puts the base game and phantom liberty at around £25.
Am I being a bit silly?
Is it worth picking up the next time GOG do a sale for around £38?

Edit: I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who has responded with useful information, and opinions on the game. I think I may treat myself next time the base game is £25 (and I have a weekend to play!)

DLC itself almost never goes on sale; you’ll be waiting for an eventual game of the year edition like 3-5 years out. CyberPunk 2.0 has all the base game improvements of Phantom Liberty, and easily 100 hours of content without the DLC.

That is interesting. I was hoping at the end of the year that the GOTY version might drop down a bit.
But it sounds like I'll be waiting a lot longer. Perhaps my best bet is to pay £25 for the base game, then get the DLC in a year or so when I have time again!

Solid plan, though the DLC adds an amazing micro-zone with its own, very fun plotline that can even add additional endings to the base game.

I bought the base game on sale about a year ago, and then was confident enough to pull the trigger on the dlc on release. The game is really great at this point, was totally worth it.

I will just advise that in that circumstance, you'll likely end up replaying the whole game if you grab the DLC later. Both muscle-and-regular memories will have faded by that time that late-game will be challenging to come back to even jf you've spec'd to be OP at the time. Not saying there's anything wrong with replaying, only making sure you know to expect to.

I played the game just after launch and did a modded replay in prep for Phantom Liberty but it took so long for some of the mods I now deem important to get updated that I ended up deciding to replay yet again.
