I’m only 3:30 hours or so into the game, won’t get back to it till Monday at the earliest, due to work. I haven’t had all that many issues, there was a number of crashes the first day but the patch seemed to help, I also stopped running full tilt everywhere to give it time to load and saving more which seemed to help with the loading issues too. (PS4 pro, might be relevant)
I haven’t been waiting as long as you. I do get where you’re coming from though. I think you might have to get passed the first act before the open world missions behaviour isn’t so janky.
I’ve had 2 specific issues that confuse me, I cannot pay the damn ripper doc, must not be time yet or something and the game pushes you into the main narrative faster than you can deal with things like the text messages, so sometimes there’s competing text.
I think it their shoes, I would have had the game begin as open world exploration and you’d do side missions till level 5 or 6 then the main story would start organically. Instead it jumps passed that 6 months.
