This is well said, and accurately describes the real problem with 2077. It's not the bugs, it's that a game with revolutionary scope was promised, and the game that was delivered didn't even have typical, average scope. Also, there seems to be a group of people that take issue with any criticism of 2077 with some form of "Why can't you just let people have fun?" This seems to be the goto response for criticism of almost any game, movie etc now, possibly because some people tie too much of their identity to media they enjoy, so any attack on that media feels like a personal attack to them. So for the record, people are allowed to enjoy 2077. There are some genuinely cool things in the game. But that doesn't change the fact that objectively, as a whole, it turned out pretty poorly, relative both to its genre and what was promised. There's plenty of media I enjoy which I would also readily admit is pretty terrible objectively. That's why the term "guilty pleasure" exists.
