picked this up last week, it's not nearly as bad as the reviews made it sound. I'm about 18 hours deep into it, probably 5 or so of the hours doing online quests.
it's probably one of the most unoriginal and uninspired games at first glance, but it's holding my interest enough to keep playing, if they had better writing for the sequel, it'd be way better off. it's still worth the purchase though with the amount of playability you'll find online.
