Nearly eight years of continued anticipation, that is. This is a game that was first announced when Barack Obama was still the president of the United States, and released just months before his controversial successor’s tenure was about to end. Besides that, even if it wouldn’t work at all, I just wanted to have a piece of history.

So I considered it a long-term investment for the future, for the times when I am financially capable of getting my hands on a PS5. But the box itself shared the good news: the PlayStation 5 upgrade will be free of charge for every owner of the game, both digital and physical. I knew its PS4 release was problematic, and I thought it would be a waste of money at first. I needed to get the real deal, and it was a fair price too. Although I already "owned" the game, it was virtual, it was purchased on Xbox's digital storefront. I was casually walking around a tech store the other day when I saw the shiny little box that was Cyberpunk 2077, and couldn’t resist the temptation. My love for the physical led me to try the game on my base PlayStation 4. You would collect your real, paper money, go to a store, and buy a game that comes in the form of a cartridge or a disc, housed in beautiful artwork, printed manuals and other goodies. I hail from the “millennial” generation, or “Generation Y” to be precise.īack in the day, in order to play a game, you were required to physically move. I recently gave the dystopian marvel another try on a last-gen console, the PlayStation 4, and I cannot say I totally regret it. I already completed the game’s main story on my Xbox Series S, so I know pretty much how the game behaves, looks and feels on that particular console, which is the lower-tier version of the current generation of the Microsoft-backed green monster.

Some bugs were game-breaking, though many were not.Īs time passed, the game’s Polish game developer CD Projekt Red rolled up its sleeves and released many updates to recover from its otherwise spotless yet now-tarnished reputation. It was buggy on nearly every platform imaginable. 10, 2020 release was a total train wreck. If I'm being honest, it is much better in terms of playability.Ĭyberpunk 2077’s Dec.
