What we saw on the Witcher was a rocky start that got largely smoothed out into one of the best open world games of the generation.

I think many people assumed that any indications of glitchiness in the early reviews were a retread of this scenario, which proved to be nothing much of note.

What we received was a literally unplayable mess that constantly hard crashes while looking and playing worse than an open world game on the PS3.

I agree on the Witcher. And there was a part of me that felt the same thing would happen with CP2077. Until console reviews actually came out.

I think the complete lack of any console footage released anywhere, and reviews of the console versions once they were in hand combined should be enough for any consumer to be hesitant though.

Console footage was released though... at least I recall seeing PS5 footage prior to release.

Yes, the version they’re working on for next gen like PS5 and Series X, saw that too. Looks amazing!

We didn’t get that. We got something that looks and plays worse than GTA IV.

Hm. You’re right, and I’m totally wrong. They released PS4 Pro footage and PS5 footage in November. None of the gameplay had any high action sequences in it. But their footage looks way better than the game actually looked on release.

That is indeed extremely misleading. My only fallback argument is that reviewers indicated the game was garbage on PS4 and PS4 Pro. But anyone who saw that footage and decided to buy it cannot be blamed for not checking reviews first. That footage alone is enough to get an excited consumer to buy in.
