"if you just take it for what it is without thinking what you wanted it to be"
Why would I do that for any video game? With that mindset, you could claim any game is good, because you aren't actually engaging with its content on the level that it deserves.
Don't prop up bad games.
that's an intellectually dishonest way of quoting the person that you quote
Better? My point still stands.
I had no expectations going in (wasn't planning to play it) and came out having fun. I don't know what expectations you or anyone else had, but maybe those expectations are what ruined the game. I don't think anyone's claiming the game is perfect (anyone who is probably is trolling), but it's pretty dismissive of its strengths for people to say it's unplayable (unless you legit can't run it, which is fair). If all you focus on is what the game doesn't do well, then you might as well only ever play perfect masterpieces because all other games will be a disappointment. If the price is a concern, it will probably go on sale eventually anyway, assuming you don't find alternatives before then.
I do think there are a lot of flaws with the game, but those flaws have already been elaborated in great depth by others. Despite those flaws, game is still fun and has a lot of room for mods to come in and make it better.
If you only compare games to what you want them to be then you can claim any game sucks. The gunpay in Madden games, for example, is awful.
