A "demo" is not representative of final quality.

Well i can give you examples. The new XCOM game is quite liked but the demo was less than impressive for game critics and general gaming population. Sometimes it goes the other way too. The demo for Battlefield 3 was so damn crap. Game turned out quite well even if it is not my kind of game.

Correct me if I am wrong, but there was no demo for BF3, it was actually a beta, which is different from a demo.

You are right but people just call it a demo since we download it from demo section of our respective xbox/psn stores. People were raging on internet and gaming websites were trying to do the PR work for the developer saying it is not demo. Games were taking the bugs in the beta as representation of how the final product is going to be as the final game was just week or two away.
