I never read any hype about games and was perfectly happy with CP2077. Granted, I played it on an Xbox One X, which had enough power to actually run it.

Ran into a good dozen crashes during my 40hour+ playthrough and one bug that affected my playing in any way (some quest-related audio didn't play and missed some stuff).

From what I've gathered there was a massive group of people, bolstered by what the Witcher 3 had become after years of development and multiple DLCs, who believed and took to heart every single word from the marketing department about three separate plotlines and AI NPCs with full lives etc.

While in actuality the "separate plots" were three short intros and a few background-specific discussion options.

This might be the worst case of mismanaged expectations in the history of gaming. CDPR shot for the moon, said they were gonna get to the moon and the result was a sparkler thrown off a roof. It was the prettiest sparkler in a long time, but that's not what the crowd was expecting.
