The game isn't so buggy, in fact, the game has no bugs. The patch is taking a long time so that people get impatient and irratated.

Seriously, CA apparently only wants to do one patch. There are a ton of documented bugs such as broken animations, uber peasants, a cavalry charge problem (acknowledged by CA), siege problems, and so on and so on. This is going to take some time to correct.
