CD Projekt Red vs Gamers: A Cautionary Cyberpunk Tale (Girlfriend reviews)

Wasn't a fan of the video. Made it sound like Cypberpunk 2077's only problems are the bugs and performance on base consoles, and that's far from the truth.
While I'm also personally a bit iffy with throwing the dev team under the bus in all of this, I do think that the game still has a few too many problems that aren't hardware specific to have released at this time for full price under guise of being a complete game, and I think this video lacks any sense of that perspective.
To me, it is clear that there's a pretty good vision of a game going on here but this feels like we literally all just paid early access without knowing it, and I think even people running this on an i7/i9 10-series and an RTX 3080 or 3090 are shorting themselves on what this game should be as a fully release product with the frequency of bugs.
Again, sure, we can rest the blame on the management/marketing for that, and I don't mean to suggest by noting that there are still issues even on high end hardware that it's the dev's fault, but I think there's a little too much of a sense of "oh boohoo most of you can't play on high end hardware and that's why you don't get why this game is so brilliant" vibe going on here.
This game can stand positively on most of its presentation on high-end hardware and its storytelling, apparently, but I don't think the technical state it is in universally is worth congratulations to anyone right now, at least not on guise of being a completed product.
MULTIPLE EDITS MADE within minutes of initial post.

Loved the Neuromancer references.
"The sky was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel"
Do TVs even do that anymore, in the way Gibson meant it?

Nope. He's referencing static you got on TV's at the time. It was great simile that fit the novel and could go my have been written since advent of television. Ironically it now dates the novel!
