I think there is a lot to love about this game. The story, characters, and world is highly original with a story book feel to it. Like all games it takes inspiration from other games, and with open world games there is only so much you can do mission wise that someone else hasn't done, but there is alot that makes this game great. You can craft so much, and it's something a lot of companies need to take notice of. I think if most people would quit comparing this game to other games and dive in to it for what the game is. I think many would like and or love this game more. I think most people are just spoiled brats who want everything in the world without compromise. No game is perfect, but this is a good push for something new in areas never seen. And does it right on things we are used to. Everyone cries about how they want the things they are used to, but if you give it to them they cry about being bored. If you go to original they cry that it feels different or etc. I would say give it a shot. If you like open world games with a wild imagination and cool crafting and fighting you'll love it for what it is.
