Here is a point of view from a long time fan of the genre.
Apart from the PS4 release, which afaik is the main source of all the rants and wailing, and the more serious bugs, I think most of the rants and complaints go way too far. They warp the reception this product deserves. Moreover, they also show how shallow the consumer base is. IMO all the issues you might or might not have with gameplay, performance, etc. - all the things that can and will be fixed in patches or expansions - it all pales in comparison to CP77 sheer grandeur. I'm talking about THE WORLD. About not just Pondsmith but the whole of Williams, Gibson, Dick. This game succeeded in capturing a whole literary genre. And not just the robot arms and virtual reality. It's the society, the slang, the media, the architecture, the fashion, the entertainment, even the art, etc. The ever present cyberpunk. Honestly, even through the bugs and hiccups, I don't remember ever seeing such depth in video gaming.
Thing is most people don't even blink when they consume products like Assassin Creed where Greek phalanx do Shaolin kung-fu. I haven't noticed any of such "95% of our audience is dumb af so who cares about details" bullshit in CP. I'm not an expert on the genre but I did read the classics. In my opinion, CP77 could have been done any better. And quest design... I think CDPR outdone themselves, CP at least matches W3 in this aspect. Every quest feels like an episode in a good, well-written tv show.
Yeah, it's not as good a shooter as Bordelands. It doesn't sneak as fine as MGS. It was released too early, and there are issues with some platforms. But by mindlessly unloading on this game (instead of just keeping it cool and waiting for the patches) you're basically conveying to the world that game developers should not bother trying to bring literary depth into their work. Because you'd be happier with another batch of shallow crap as long as it's bug-free and runs 60fps with no lows.
Give it time. It's hella worth it.
