This was back when it was new - my thoughts the entire 30 hours I was playing were things like:
“Johnny Silverhand is more annoying than Jar Jar and I will do anything to not hear his stupid fucking voice anymore”
“this ‘hacking’ is one of the worst minigames I’ve ever seen”
“the setting is ripped straight from PK Dick and doesn’t feel like it really lends anything to the story besides ‘high tech stuff that looks flashy on screen’”
“oh the background i spend ten minutes consiering before choosing does fuckall about shit except slightly reword a few dialogs”
“my god, every single character is insufferable”
“oh wow, my inventory is full again already, and not a single thing in it is worth fuck for shit”
“these physics are just as shitty as that Witcher 3 game I wasted money on last year”
“this button feels really awkward to press when i need it but i don’t feel like editing the config by hand again”
“holy shit when will this cutscene be over? There we g- DAMN IT THERE’S MORE? STFU ALREADY”
It was buggy but the bugs were the least of my worries. I came away feeling like I was promised Mexican food and then was given a cold soggy leftover Taco Bell burrito, and frankly after having basically the same experience with the super-awesome totally-finished fully-patched all-dlc-included GotY version of The Witcher 3 I really don’t trust CDPR to fix shit.

Thanks for the write-up, sums up my experience with both games
