Final edit: as of the most recent patch, my crashes are almost entirely gone.

A really good open world game. on release it crashed a LOT, but as the patches go the crashes have too.
(once every hour while doing story and once every 4 hours+ when exploring which is an improvement from once every 10 minutes during story and once every hour while exploring).
They're definitely working on it to make it as good as it deserves to be.

The mouse and keyboard integrations are mostly really well done. The only downsides i would give are that the NPCs move too slow in the follow missions for your default walking speed. So you have to stop, then start, then stop, and repeat since you can't just walk slower like you can with a joystick.
That and the scroll wheel can't be rebound to something else. (like scrolling through inventory items instead of weapons)

Otherwise aiming feels good, and the movement is mostly responsive (sometimes but rarely, you have to repress the move keys to start moving again idk why)

The game is absolutely gorgeous (we all knew this already) and the gameplay is fun and unique.
There is SO much to explore and learn about the world that it's given me a sense of intrigue very few games can accomplish for me. Despite the constant crashing at the start, i just kept booting the game back up anyway wondering what i would find before the next crash.

It was definitely worth the purchase for me. If you don't wanna deal with any of the technical issues at all, i wouldn't be surprised if they were all gone in the next few weeks (i was correct lol)

Oh, and if you're having severe performance issues, as well as crashing. I would recommend downloading the latest visual C++ re-distributable from Microsoft. That instantly fixed my own framerate issues (but not the crashing lol).
