Or to be precise slightly better. For some users. Yes, CD Projekt Red, finally came up with patch 1.5 and... it’s still far, far, far from what was expected from the game.
With new patch available today for PC and consoles CD Projekt Red added new weapons to the game (two new weapons to be exact, three if you count throwing knife), few additional apartments that you can choose and redecorate, some technical fixes to crowd reactions and something that we all were waiting for - a mirror!

For example: non-laughable police system, chance to travel using trains, pedestrians that would make the city feel like living organism, most of the RPG options...

To no-one’s surprise another big title have just completely cyberpunked on the premiere - buggy, under-developed, remade to appeal to everyone. And ended up quickly forgotten. Yes, I mean Saints Row.
CD Projekt announced that an early stage of work on a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 has started and, to quote a classic, it’s déjà vu all over again.
Microsoft just rolled out its upgrade of their AI-based tool called Copilot. Or should I say "downgrade"? Because their users are somehow unhappy with the changes that were made, and it is another example of Microsoft shooting themselves in the foot without any reason to do it.
