Gonna get the grievances out the way first. Game gets monotonous the longer it goes on due to lack of enemy variety, shallow combat, and the lack of diverse and worthwhile weapon/item drops found throughout the world. Too much time spent navigating through menus. Story is disappointing; voice acting is bad. Performance is ass. That being said, the world itself and exploring it is amazing, especially the first few hours. Its not better than TW3 in all areas, just the important ones
