The problem is that they advertise it a certain way and sell preorders, and then the game doesn't live up to what they advertised. Worse, they didn't allow anyone to review the console versions which were so unplayable that Sony removed it from the store. It would have been fine if people knew exactly what they were paying for, but they were misled.
Sure, it was unmet expectations but even if the expectation was just 'it works", they still didn't meet it. And that's kind of the bare minimum to even be legal when you're charging money for it. I disagree that the console versions were 7/10 on release - more like 1/10.
I don't know what to tell you, I played it on Xbox just fine. Played the whole game through from start to finish and had fun. I believe the issue was with last gen consoles specifically.
And again, I think a lot of the criticism was reasonable. But my point is that the game itself was and is fun, but suffers because of the bad reputation it got at launch thanks to some ill-advised (intentional understatement alert!) decisions by CDPR.
Yes, the issue was with last gen consoles. I don't think that matters to the point I am making, nor that it worked for you personally on your setup. It worked okay for me too, but I was on a high-end PC.
Seemed to me you called the console version unplayable. You said they didn't work. I was just correcting that statement for anyone who wasn't aware that your were bending the truth to make a point.
Sony literally pulled the game from the PlayStation Store because of the low quality. At that point it's not just a subjective opinion but fact, so I resent the claim that I'm bending the truth.
