But in all seriousness I think people came down way too hard on this game. The writing is mad good- (like only Disco Elysium and NV really compare to it good) and I love wandering around a cool cyberpunk city as my Skin Diamond lookalike mercenary

I liked Cyberpunk too. I think it delivered on most of my expectations - decent, modern combat/gameplay, near New Vegas quality story (eh), meaningful player choice. Shame about the bugs and seemingly unfinished/poorly implemented features. Another year or two with less crunch and maybe it would've been a solid gameplay experience? Either way I thought it was fine. Wish life paths were actually a thing. But yeah decent 3/5 game.
The huge negative reaction was way overblown (with the exception of then current gen console owners, that sucks). One of the things that always confused me was the series of reddit threads about "cut but promised" gameplay elements and stuff. Every time I see those I find the majority of the list is filled with stuff that was confirmed to be cut or not even in the works years prior to Cyberpunk's release. The rest was wishful speculation on the part of overly hyped up fans. Was CDPR sorta lying by omission and misleading people sometimes? Sure I guess. But like, people knew a lot of stuff wouldn't end up in the final game (or at least that info was very out in the open), but they preordered it and shit and got upset anyway. These guys were so wound up, I think even if the game came out with zero issues they'd still be throwing the same tantrums.
Well yeah, they said that was out like in 2016 or some shit dude.
