Stop reading all the criticism and play it, then make your own opinion
There are loads of complaints about the game being full of bugs and not work properly on consoles... I want to share my experience with this game: Bought it, got it, installed it and played it in the same day. It froze a couple of times and crashed twice. I played it on a 2k UltraWide Samsung monitor and the graphics were not that good. Then i changed some settings on the graphics in the game and the next day it crashed twice but did not freeze.
There was a massive patch (around 20 GB) and it started to work better, then another 15 GB patch and it stopped to crash. So i played it for around 5 hrs without any issues on my 4k Philips tv and the graphics were alright. It didn't crash for another 2 days (played it around 3-4 hrs) and then the next day it crashed and there was another 15GB patch.
Now, i can play it without any issues.
Yes, there are bugs in the game, but have a look at the game, there is a lot of details. The trash is actual trash not only a big bin bag, the ads are full of information, the texture on the clothes is full of details. the weapons look nice, and so on...
It was a shame to wait so long for this game, but i can understand why - it needs a lot of power to play, it needs a PS5 or a XBox Series X, or a state of the art gaming pc. I played it on my XBox One X and the fans were on all the time. And take some breaks, let the console to cool down and then continue.
I don't like when the Katana disappears but it is still there, but you just need to hit "Y" or "Triangle" to change the weapon, just rotate them to get back to the Katana and it will appear.
Also, some of the glitches/ bugs help a lot to get the Legendary items if we missed it the first time.
Even The Witcher was full of bugs when it was released and also Fifa21 had bugs - all of this can get fixed with upgrades.
It is a great game, full of options and different endings and all kind of choices and customisation and it is great to play.
It could be different in your case, but this is my personal experience with the game. I like it.
So you're better off getting the game, play it, feel it and make your own opinion, rather than read all the criticism. Or just wait until the game is patched and there are no bugs and then get it and play it :)
