"It's a shame that this game now has such a bad reputation for relatively minor & mostly avoidable reasons."
I disagree this adds up to minor reasons. If you bought the game for PS4 based on the advertisements getting a buggy mess isn't minor.

I swear some of the stuff looks like a Dreamcast game. People are seeing textures not load. The lighting looks terrible.
Base PS4 and Xbox One owners are getting a game that looks genuinely bad for a last-gen game -- and it is coming out at the end of that generation's lifespan. You would expect this to be one of the best looking games from that generation.
This stuff is fixable, and maybe the game will look and run decent in six months, but I could see a lot of console buyers being shocked by the state of the game right now.
> People are seeing textures not load.
I think this only happened in the pre-patched versions of the game (plenty of other last gen console problems though)
Maybe, but this is one of the few games that were targeted to PC and then just "ported" to console.
Usually we get a inferior console port on PC (GTA IV, Batman game etc.), so I'm glad this time it was different.
I don't think the advertising suggested it at all. There was nothing in the way they showcased the game to console players to make them think they were just getting a port.
