There was a LOT of hype that they never achieved too, and tons of content shown off in trailers and previews that never made the game.
The train was very much a playable area in previews, not in the game, taxis were shown, but also not in the game. The population density is much lower, and (of course) emergent npc behaviour (a random NPC actually going to a bar to play pool, or basketball, instead of just standing there. Robberies just occurring) isn't nearly as amazing as promised. There were supposed to be more classes that never appeared, and the life path system was shown to be much bigger than just the three skill check options in dialogue that made it into the game.
Mostly, I believe that's just players being super upset and hunting down every "broken promise" because the game was a buggy mess instead of the second coming.
