Don't expect to play The Witcher remake or Cyberpunk 2077's sequel anytime soon, as CD Projekt Red says The Witcher 4 is "the most advanced" of its projects (www.vg247.com)

Yeah, seriously. If they had only shown things that actually existed, I'm pretty sure all the negative press would have been totally avoided since even at release it was a solid enough story-driven RPG.

This is what soured me on it. I ended up not playing it until 1.8 and at that point had ignored the game completely to try and reset my expectations. After I did that, I picked up the game and actually enjoyed it a lot. As you said, solid story and fun gameplay, they just hyped that shit to a level that wasn't needed and made a lot of us who were excited for the game just rip it a new one because of it.
