either you weren't there during the pre release or you dont see the difference ( wich is fine i wish too i wouldnt be able ) because this is what peoples expected when CDPR sold us the game :
everything else aside, even assets, the lighting is nowhere near as good as in the demos, peoples are not randomly calling out the game lighting out of their mind, changes happened and the game came out not looking how it was supposed to, that being said the game is still plenty beautiful and saying its ugly or whatever is dishonest, BUT its still not what they promised, no matter how you turn it upside down, even with the new expansion, wich am sure i will be enjoying
Blame it on consoles.
Regardless, it's still the most beautiful game in history.
