If they hadn't over-promised things and straight up lied, it would have been received better. A lot of what they said was gonna be in the game still isn't, and likely won't ever be...
This is what it is. It's not the state that it launched in. It's that they literally lied about what the game was (I still swear that it's not even an rpg, because nothing you do matters, it's a story driven action adventure game) and kept promising features they KNEW were not present, but still kept doing it. Same as No Mans Sky. Just blatently lied repeatedly and then blame the fans "because it was cool to hate us" .... UM NO.
Keep in mind that at the time PS4/XBOne were still the main consoles, and people got a goddawful experience in them. So much so the PS4 version got delisted from excess refund requests. I believe the state it launched probably did more damage than overpromising.
