I like the setting a lot myself, but I'd say that they both make some valid points. It's definitely not all sunshine and roses. Core game is interesting, but the controls are janky whether you use keyboard or gamepad (like I said before, gamepad does practically everything better, except aiming your gun which happens to be the single most important thing). Also, I've yet to figure out how to turn on tactical mode when playing on console. The bigger issue that has nothing to do with platform is that I don't really find any of the perks or skills to be interesting.
The best skill imo is the rifle one that silences your shot, but it becomes a complete waste of a skill point the moment that character shifts from being the main to being a companion, since the AI is not allowed to start fights and therefore can never use the skill. Most of the other skills involve starting fights with big groups which isn't a great idea, or else they do stuff like dump a bunch of ammo into [over]killing one enemy. I mostly use my AP on bullet time, which is something you can just do by default and makes the purchased skills seem rather pointless.
The character specific perks are alright, each of them seems to have a couple that are really good and a couple that pretty much suck. The generic perks are just +gooder passives that aren't too interesting. Making the companions tougher is where most of my cards go, since they seem like they always get the aggro once shooting starts and they are pretty bad at avoiding damage.
I thought Skillup's comment about money being superfluous was really bizarre. I have found it to be a big problem unless you literally buy nothing from vendors. I had to restart my first game because I bought an amulet from a random encounter vendor only to realize when I got back to town that there was no way to afford the horse. So yeah, if you're just starting the game now, be sure you have ~$370 when you get back to town after the first series of missions (the other ~70 is for the skinning kit at the armor shop) or else you're gonna have a bad time. If you want a second companion you'll need to go do the first bounty and/or nearby sidequests to have the $100 to hire her, and then you'll be broke again but still need $300 more to progress the main story. Along those lines, break down every extra 1* weapon you find and don't use. Inventory space is a real bitch until you get saddlebags and some companions.
