I have waited this long to play an unfucked version, might as well keep waiting.
yeah I've also been holding out...I bought the game during the last Steam Winter sale but still haven't played it yet...patch 1.5 seems like the patch that really turned things around with 1.6 adding to that...I have no issues starting the game now but with the news that CDPR is working on a complete overhaul to the maligned police mechanics as well as vehicle-to-vehicle combat it seems like that version will be the Definitive version of the game
but at the rate they are releasing patches it might be another 4-6 months before we see it...1.6 is also the last patch that will support last gen consoles so that means going forward the visuals and gameplay will be geared towards next gen systems...the upcoming expansion should be really good...if you haven't bought the game by now then you might be better off waiting for a bundle
