it's a stitched together and rushed job
the original director was kicked off the game
the original name was changed
the original story concepts were scrapped and partially repurposed
the combat system was changed completly between early trailers, demos and final release
half of the DLCs were cancelled
half of the story is only available in content outside of the game like a movie, anime and novel
as a result, what you are a left with is a janky unfinished mess of a game. parts of it are good yeah, but it's not what it was intended to be.
the game also received big updates after launch, the ending section was changed, the story had movie scenes inserted that were never meant to be there, etc.
then you have more minor issues like the balance being pretty shit, it's almost impossible to game over in this game due to items.
crashing the car and dying that way is significantly more dangerous than every enemy in the game.
the combat, while flashy, and fun at times, is pretty jank still as it was rushed during the game's launch delay.
the original super boss of the game is embarassingly bad.
the fishing was fun, the bros were cool, the music is good, there is good stuff here.
but unless you are a tourist, it's almost impossible to ignore the issues.
