Well, the biggest problem for them was the decision to release it on last gen consoles because nobody had next gen, only for it to be broken on last gen. A huge swath of their player base were playing a broken game on launch. If they released it on PC and next gen only, I think they would have been in a better state.
But even given a next gen experience, they still overpromised and underdelivered. The game still doesn't have stuff that they promised for launch. The multiplayer apparently got canned so they could fix the game for multiple years. The wanted system is still a joke. The city still feels dead and robotic. Driving is still a pain. The auto-generated "jobs" are boring and pointless. Yes, its has an interesting story and some cool side quests, but once you're done with that, there's really nothing compelling me to come back to it.
It's fine. But it's not great and not what they promised.
And the cherry on top is that the only new content we're ever going to get is a $20 story expansion. Despite promising free content updates including a multiplayer mode. All their post launch plans were canned just to fix bugs, not even to flesh out the features they promised.
CDPR, this was a disaster. Stop trying to pretend it wasn't.
