It's mostly that the loudest, angriest voices tend to drown out everyone else.
Yep, gamers especially are a particularly tough crowd, and quite a few of them have large audiences.
It seems that everybody seems to hate this game, or rather unfinishedness of it. Meanwhile, I am playing it since 2 weeks on PS4 (not Pro) and totally enjoying every minute it.
The real issue is what was promised and teased and what was delivered. Honestly might border on false advertising. There are countless videos breaking down what was advertised in their promotional feature walkthrough videos and what was actually delivered (not even withstanding pretty glaring bugs and performance issues).

Seems like everyone I talk to likes the game even if its not bug free and the combat isn't perfect.
I can deal with bugs, but the lack of depth constantly breaks immersion, and some of the writing is just really cringeworthy

I’ve been playing it through Stadia (wanted to try out Stadia and Cyberpunk at the same time) and I agree people are hating on the game seemingly way out of proportion. It’s definitely buggy, I had to restart at one point because the game refused to allow me to reload in the middle of a fight, but claiming it’s fraud or “unplayable” is hyperbole. I think people just got way too excited about from having nothing to do…

At its core it’s a decent game. The issue is with so many bugs (many of which preventing a player from finishing a story quest) it’s hard to focus on the game when your copy keeps crashing, glitching, frustrating you.
You should see games from The Elder Scrolls franchise. Even in the latest version of Skyrim there still are game-breaking bugs they have not fixed.
I hope this will encourage big studios to stop releasing broken games, but I doubt it will. The incentives are just so broken due to ease of patching, a need/desire for cash after a drawn out dev process, and a general disrespect for their customers. I think releasing a "broken" game in the form of "early access" from smaller studios can be good in terms of iterative and community development, but also that can be ab…
The problem isn't releasing a broken game. There's a huge challenge in making and releasing games and meeting a specific quality bar. That said, knowing you have a broken game and saying it's great is extremely avoidable and totally should stop. Tell me the game is a mess and let me play with it.
Only if you're holding yourself to an impossible deadline. Given time – and, I'll argue, developers who weren't burnt out by the work schedule – and this could have been resolved. But they didn't take that time, they went ahead with a non-functional game just to meet the deadline.
They abused their developers to meet an (demonstrably) impossible deadline. This is a terribly way to run a business on many levels.

I considered going into the gaming industry years ago, but the audience is such a turnoff. It really holds the medium back as an art form.
I think that the issue isn't so much 'the audience' but the terrible work conditions associated with the gaming industry.
> It really holds the medium back as an art form
How? games are probably the most diverse art form in existence today, there is literally no rules to what a game can be.
