Fake and Misleading gameplay trailers must stop.

[Lito]

It happened with Alien Colonial Marines (sega actually loss a lawsuit because of that), then Watch Dogs, and now Witcher 3.

Seriously. I will complete 30 years soon, and about 25 years of gaming. I watched this industry fall apart with dlcs, "free-to-play" games, and pre-order "exclusives". Paid mods, early-access games that never goes gold, the list of ridiculous things just keep adding up.

I just can't stand seeing this happen. Fake and misleading gameplay trailers that show product A, and the consumer gets product B. It's not the same game, doing this isn't right by any means.

CD projekt, a company that apparently was on the good side off this mess of industry, makes such a low move? Good job on ruining your reputation btw...

Vote with your wallets. Overall, I don't enjoy Witcher (I prefer party rpgs), so it's easy to not buy this. But even if you love it, consider not buying this. Do not support this kind of behavior.

Same. I can't wait to get in-game and b-line for the hardest area and slowly kill something with 1000 hits.

But it is true, these fake marketing trailers with fake gameplay need to stop!

We're not buying it for the "misleading" trailers.

We're buying the game because we like what we see from the gameplay videos, for the very well written story and for the beautiful graphics. It might not be the same graphics from the first trailers, but the graphics are still insanely beautiful.

That's why we're buying it. Thank you for sharing your 30 year of gaming experience opinion to us. You can leave now :).

Preventing publishers from presenting their games in the best possible light, and ensuring that games at release haven't changed from footage shown when they were still deep in development is a problem is a very complex and difficult solution.

Not buying games based off footage from when they were deep in development, and waiting for reviews and user videos has the same result of protecting you from buying something you don't want, but only requires a little common sense to implement.

I recommend everyone go with option B.
