"Cyberpunk 2077" is the video game event of the end of the year, but not necessarily for the right reasons between multiple bugs and sacrificed console versions -
2017 CD PROJEKT
Cyberpunk 2077 was set to be the video game event of this year, if not of the year, and it is, but maybe not as fans expected.
Neither its creators, the Poles of CD Projekt.
Still, everything was off to a good start with a stock market value of more than $ 9 billion for the studio, eight million pre-orders for the game, and first reviews on Monday, a few days before release, generally positive.
Maybe not up to the hype, but everyone considered the game to be a visual slap, an ultra immersive world, if not a great
Witcher 3
action-RPG
and a few bugs and sex toys around.
I love # Cyberpunk2077 even with the bugs I didn't expect this one 😂 @CyberpunkFR pic.twitter.com/k3IJBHcadT

"These are sacrificed versions, sometimes it looks like a Switch version".
A Day One patch, almost as big as the game, was needed and available on release day.
What about sex toys, dildos?
There are many in the game, too many for some of the early players, who questioned their symbolism, other than phallic.
The symbol of the decadence of society?
Yeah, we've known less foreshortened and more inspired.
Is that being (cyber) punk for CD Projekt?
The "controversy" was in full swing with bugs and dildos when the game was finally released on Thursday, on PC but also on old gen consoles, PS4 and Xbox One, of course compatible with the next gen.
And there ...

So it was a sign.
The press has indeed been invited to test
Cyberpunk 2077
only on PC, with the PS4 and Xbox One versions available the day before release.
And the Gamekult site is the first to sound the alarm in full live: “If you have pre-ordered the game on PS4 or Xbox One, you have a few hours left to cancel your pre-order.
These are sacrificed versions, sometimes it looks like a Switch version ”.

It's better on the next gen, but the stock market disaster
Other media take over with scathing tests and ratings, 7/20 at Jeuxvideo.com or 4/10 on Jeuxactu and Gamekult, and the comments that go with: "This is called an abandonment", "Disastrous attire and quite revolting ”… In question a deserted city of its inhabitants, problems of textures, a frame rate at the pick-up, and finally a technique unworthy of the game but also of the machines, where
Red Dead Redemption 2
and
The Last of Us Part II

Cyberpunk 2077 is coming
back to life on PS4 Pro, Xbox One X and especially on the new PS5 and Xbox Series X / S, thanks to backward compatibility, but the damage is done.
To the point of seeing CD Projekt fall by 10% on the stock market and lose two billion dollars in two days, as reported by
Les Echos
.
Unexpected consequence, this exit (road) on physical consoles does the business of Stadia, the
still confidential
cloud gaming service
of Google: “Are you still having problems playing
Cyberpunk 2077
with your old stuff?
We have a solution for you.
Try Stadia where the game is great and you can play it without downloads or patches ”.
Ouch.
