The game is so much better now but it still falls short IMO, and it'll never live up to its original promise. Plus, the game was soooo bad on release that they decided to kill all future DLC except for this one. Which means the game is never getting another major update, no more fixes and no more work towards delivering on the original vision.
The notion that this game was supposed to have a GTA Online-style multiplayer mode is LAUGHABLE
Forgot about that. Yeah. That was beyond a pipe dream.
The reason they scrapped plans for further DLC is largely to do with the fact that CDPR is dropping RED Engine and using Unreal going forward, and they don't want to spend all the time and resources building new content for an engine that they're not going to continue supporting for much longer.
I think once the money men at CDPR see how much PL made they will reconsider their original approach to future DLC.
I think it's probably already too late. They've laid off staff and winded down development already. Usually DLCs are developed in tandem the game and other DLCs. They'd have to make a big change to make a new DLC now, and it would take a long time for it to come out.
I am sorry but with PL and 2.0 it’s beyond great imo. Loving every second of it, they fixed and improved so much it feels like an entirely different game to me.
