The video is really let down by the fact it claims that there was no graphics downgrade when there was one, albeit a tiny one in terms of how reflections were handled. It really disappoints me that the creator researched the drama, but not the underlying question of what technical changes were made between the E3 demo and the final release which is the source of the entire drama in the first place. - In this case, gamers may have overreacted, but they did have a point. The puddles were reduced because the technique that was used for them in the demo wasn't used for puddles in the release game. (ie. the developers didn't want to render location specific cube maps for the entire game map).
