Is that Rockstar's track record now? I remember RDR2 releasing in a pretty stable condition. Regardless, bugs or no, I think people deep into gaming usually see the most important parts as what the gameplay is shaping up to be. So that would be, how has the driving changed, is there more thought and effort put into the non-violent side-content, how intractable is the world and to what degree is the world responsive? Stuff like that. The folks I usually listen to are mostly on that track since graphics are generally irrelevant now and the story is... Gonna be a Rockstar story, and won't be anywhere near GTA IV, so it's not that exciting.

It sucks, but GTA is one of our last tentpole entertainment products. I understand people being a little excited to participate, and that also means the corps milking it for every last cent. The Netflix thing makes sense in the same way superbowl commercials make sense. And it does look like this is supposed to be the big gameplay showcase, so wanting to tune in as a gaming insider also tracks. It is what it is.

I am not going to play the game on release as it will only be available on console. I will be waiting for the PC release with most of the bugs ironed out. The ad for the ad said that there would be gameplay so I am waiting for that. AAA or not, I know of a certain fit girl that can supply me.
