Although this game had a rough launch, It has improved massively in the last couple years. Now there is a feature where you can remove the gear score from weapons which in my opinion, greatly improves the experience of the game. Ubisoft has also patch a large number of the bugs that were in the game at launch, and I believe that the game is quite playable now with me only running into a couple bugs, none of which were game breaking, in my 34 hours of play time. Also, with the new feature that allows people someone who owns the game to play with 3 friends who only have the trial version, this game is a great open world option for a group of friends that don't want to all pay for the entire game.
