They released it too really and marketing sucked ass.A forspoken sequel could have had the potential to become a hit franchise, the basics were there it just needed some refinement.
The way it is patched now should've been a minimum for the final release.
They even patched the demo since HDR made it look atrocious originally.
I played the demo and had the same reaction as everyone else. I had a gut feeling to try the full game anyway and was surprised how much better it was
