In my opinion, that's not a great viewpoint to take
The game never ran as badly as reported for the vast majority of actual users. I can only speak for the PS4 performance, but it has never been unplayable. It hasn't been a sold 30fps, but it's been good. It never got very choppy and it never got stuck. I have had literally one crash.
After the patch, things are smoother and the game generally runs well
There are one or two bugs and civilians do have weird glitches from time to time. But it's barely noticable
The reason that it didn't get awful reviews due to bugs is because they were always MASSIVELY overhyped*
So yeah. Keep an open mind and don't listen to all the "anti-hype". I know it's cool to bash Ubi, but not all of it is deserved. It's not game of the year and it's probably not better than Black Flag in many aspects. But it's not broken and it does have plenty of good things to offer
As for the patch, on Xbox One it causes some people to download the entire game. Not on other consoles, certainly I downloaded it without a problem. The reason it's so large is because they've redone a lot of the textures throughout Paris to help the game run better. It seems to have worked
* The PC release is quite possibly broken. But I personally rarely expect any PC game to properly work at launch
