BLAND. I've played the last 2 SR games several times through. This one has irritating / vapid teammates and all the super crazy fun stuff is gone. They could have written in interesting gangs like the Sons of Samedi, or just anything. Most missions were so on the rails, they should've been animations. The glitches didn't end the game for me, but they are there through every mission.
After an extensive BETA update today (Jan 18, 2017), the optimization is unchanged. It's still unplayable. Recommended settings are not enough to play it without huge motion-sick inducing framerate drops. I'm not sure there is any way to play through it in this state to appreciate the story that everyone keeps talking about. Nothing this broken should have ever won Game of the Year from any PC gamer magazine.
