Yep, it makes sense.

It seems you're reminding me of some past impressions! The PC trailers for Watch Dogs did appear somewhat dated, but they turned out to be quite impressive in their own right. I remember hearing about how GTA IV's early trailers and images looked much more polished than the final product.
We'll consider it. These might surpass what typical gamers encounter, yet they aren't a replacement for regular releases. Bait and switch occurs when a highly selected or superior version is given to reviewers while a lower quality batch is pushed to retailers. Since these options are available to all, the reviews will reflect standard titles you purchase in stores, making it essentially misleading advertising at best. Also, bait and switch tends to apply mainly to hardware.
watchdogs had a chance, but they simply stopped it with a clumsy fix. A small code tweak bypassed it, unlocking the game and letting it run at full capacity—looking just like the trailers. It felt like a frustrating move from the developers, not the game itself. I still have some hope for GTA V, since Rockstar is a reputable studio that doesn’t often make mistakes. Plus, there are mods available that can boost graphics, making your PC really shine.
I’m really looking forward to when GTAV launches so we can dive into discussions or complaints about it. All this buzz is driving me crazy :lol.
Unlocking the original graphics posed significant challenges, resulting in performance issues that limited its effectiveness. Despite these problems, the experience remains frustrating, as the developers could have improved the process or communicated better with players.
We can only wait for an update, but good to hear DayZ is supporting DX 12.
