We're finally getting the 'GOTY' version of Cyberpunk 2077 that I'm
sure many people have been waiting for. After all, why bother buying
games piecemeal when - if you just wait long enough - you can get the
whole game all in one package?
There is one new feature - fortunately not exclusive to the Ultimate
Edition - that I am really interested in: finally, the game gets a
working metro system! Well, that's assuming it is not just a glorified >fast-travel system (e.g., hit use button at one station, game fades
out and then you magically appear at your destination). I want to RIDE
the rails... especially if the metro goes above ground.
The number of times I've installed GTA3 or GTA4 /just/ so I could
watch my avatar (and his train!) chug through the city, I can't tell
you. It's like having a hyper-detailed model-train set... without
needing to give up all that floor space! ;-)

Exactly. I hate playing a game knowing full well it isn't finished yet
and more content is going to be released for it. I will wait for the
FULL version.

Hang it from the ceiling, with a winch system to pull it up out of the
way, and lower it when you want to play.

Since I was always a fan of G-scale, I'd need a pretty hefty winch ;-)
(most American sets are O-scale, approx 1:43. A locomotive is about 1"
high and 3" long. G-scale is 1:19; a locomotive is about 8" high and
18" long. A single train in G-scale can be several meters in length.
Even packed away in boxes, an average train set can take up a good
sized room ;-)

Well they do make strong winches, although it might look a bit Dr Frankenstein in there.
And finally a use for rooms with 12" or higher ceilings.
