With a big chaotic launch like this, you are bound to have absurd claims, people jerking each other n blowing everything out of proportion, and the ones praising the game, ignoring most of it's issues.
But it's no doubt CDPR backed themselves into a corner, with an insane amount of marketing and misleading trailers setting up the average consumer for dissapoinment.

Cyberpunk is an OK game, really good at times. It shines on it's presentation, cutscenes are well directed and the city is alluring, which is also one of it's biggest weakness, they built this enourmous detailed place with a lot of life in it but it's just a hollow shell, looking at it with a magnifying glass only makes it worse and there's NOTHING do in it other than appreciate the landscape while you go from quest to quest.
The game is carried by the performances (With the obvious one being the wholesome man, which made my time playing way more enjoyable), if you don't get invested in the story or characters then you'll probably get nothing out of this.
I liked the sidequests and gigs, all with their unique dialog and the many approaches the game gives you, I just wish they weren't so cluttered, maybe a smaller map could've helped or something to do in-between them because like I mentioned previously, there's nothing to do.

Nothing else stands out outside of it's "AAA" presentation. The hacking and combat are fine, it gets better the stronger you get as you start seeing enemy dismemberment and unlock new tools which can create cool scenarios. Driving is awkward but you get used to it.
The loot is a mess and scattered all over the place, man it is uninteresting. There's so much stuff like clothing, while that's nice to have, it's obvious they had a mechanic going for it that they couldn't fit into the game. That kinda sums up the feeling this game gives you, on every corner you'll be able to tell that something is missing.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a long journey, and chances are, you will not get a satisfying payoff. This is a get on sale in an year or so, not because of the bugs, because the game is lacking and there's bound to be future updates/big dlcs adding content and new features. I haven't experienced more bugs than any Bethesda game or Kingdom Come at launch and even without them, Cyberpunk is just a very flashy experience and shallow at it's core and i kinda can't help to think that people blaming bugs on why the game is bad are just coping with how lacking the game is.
