As someone else mentioned, the microtransactions existing put it in a bad light to start
My main issue however is just how UTTERLY UNPLAYABLE it was for most people's systems on launch. The number of crashes and performance issues rivaled that of even Cyberpunk, and I still regularly play Cyberpunk. it was a complete and total disaster for many many people, and while it's likely fixed by now it was such a struggle and headache to get through that I'll likely never finish it.
This is a real valid issue. I've heard they finally put out a performance fix, but have not personally tried it out myself to confirm. It's definitely the kinda game where you'll need cutting edge tech to make it look beautiful, and it can look incredible, but that doesn't excuse the abysmal performance on lower end hardware.
