probably this and PC Gamer are the only honest reviews of this game, rightfully calling it out for being a buggy mess and also shallow depth of gameplay/bloated content
do not become addicted to hype, my friends, it will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence!
it's possible it's just that the review builds were like pre-bugtesting ie not with the 45GB day one patch. There might be some legal shit where they can't give the updated version bc it has to have parity to the console disks that were being printed? idfk
The time leading up to launch is mostly behind-the-scenes shit to prepare for launch day, all but the most egregious bugs will probably still be in the gold version.
