![]() Like falling down stairs sometimes launching your character across the screen weapons and vehicles appearing to float in mid-air screen tearing sludge-slow frame rates and delayed texture loading blurred graphics and other examples of poorly optimized performance. No, not mostly humorous bugs like characters’ breasts and/or genitalia perpetually clipping through their clothes, women walking through steel fences and vanishing into stacks of garbage bags (refer to the video below) or automobiles getting randomly tossed over bridges at players like the Hulk is on a rampage somewhere in Night City - the mostly harmless stuff you might expect from a game with multiple delays - but immersion breaking bugs you figured wouldn’t even have made it out of the testing phase. Notwithstanding, there was one recurring complaint, one touched upon by early reviewers that would escalate into full-on outcry from the fanbase upon the game’s release, especially from those playing on last-generation consoles, Playstation 4 and Xbox One: the bugs. So when CDPR’s ambitious, futuristic, open-world opus finally dropped, I was pleasantly surprised to see it given mostly favorable reviews by the initial critics. Unless you’ve been in a braindance-induced coma for the past few years, you likely knew that Cyberpunk 2077’s December 10th release date was going to be a s-show, whether it was on account of the insane popularity and anticipation leading up to it (the game broke the single-player Steam record for most concurrent players on the day of its release) or the foreseeable disappointment for those that had aggrandized the game to such a lofty degree that anything short of a life-changing experience was going to fall short of their expectations. You know the popular saying, “You’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t,” referring to how a person or group of people will be blamed or considered wrong no matter how they handle a situation? That aptly describes the mess CD Projekt Red finds themselves in right now with the recent release of Cyberpunk 2077 (for which they’ve subsequently apologized), one of the most highly-anticipated and feverishly-hyped video games since it was first announced way back in May of 2013.
