It was amazing on day 1. It wasn't perfect, but a diamond in the rough just like every single CDPR game that came before. Put in hundreds of hours and encountered a few visual bugs, a single bug that caused me to load a save from a couple of minutes ago and some peculiar design decisions. Despite that the game was largely a masterpiece.
I understand some console players got completely shafted, though so I get why there was a backlash.
If you played on console you would totally understand the backlash.
I played and beat it on Xbox One. There was so many bugs it was astounding it was released in that form.
Cars falling from the sky, people floating around in T poses, characters faces just not loading in, missions not updating so you can't complete it. It would crash at least twice every time I played it.
I still enjoyed the game, the bugs would range from funny to game breaking; however, it 100% deserved the backlash it got.
I was playing from day 1 too. I only encountered 1 major bug, a body for an NCPC dispatch mission which couldn't be looted. Didn't break the game or anything.
Apart from that it was just a few visual bugs and physics bugs which are always fun. It was slightly jarring to see Jackie still holding his gun while dying, and it clipping through his head, but I can get over it.
