I stopped at the exploration video. The game has already made a good enough case for me to buy it, I'd rather not see any more. The game clearly has some issues, but I'm pretty sure I'll find some enjoyment. The core gameplay looks fun, the open world stuff is promising (also concerning) and I can honestly deal with the inconsistant animation.
It's the plot and charactera that will likely kill this for me. Hoping beyond hope that isn't the case, but there's just too much separation. New place, new characters, new goal, new villain, and none of it is grabbing me in the slightest.
