I'm in the "tolerable" camp, slightly toward "exciting". My complaint with it is more the number of gates to do and a generic distaste for timed games of any sort, rather than some "it's tooooo hard" punt.
I haven't seen any hint of a patch. I'd think they could very easily make some modifications that would please a lot of gamers without watering down the title. If nothing else, I hope they do a no-cd patch at some point in the future. PQ:G would make a nice "filler" game when you've got 20 minutes to kill, but that isn't going to happen if every time I've got to find the disk and wait while the buggered installer tries to fire up.
