The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.

Even without bugs, the NPC AI looks awful. Cars stopped in the middle of their driving loops, police showing no concern when you cross the barricades?! Makes Far Cry look advanced in that regard.
Yeah, I've watched some people playing and, while the story looks cool, everything else looks completely unfinished. No AI, bad driving, poorly implemented skill tree, bad stealth (due to bad AI), backstory prologue is just a cutscene that doesn't really effect your game... This game just wasn't finished and probably never will be. Even if it's fun it doesn't deserve universal acclaim from reviewers.
I'm glad some outlets have provided a console review. Interesting (or suspicious) that no console review copies were ever provided.
Oh, and a game breaking save file glitch that the patches won't fix retroactively. Once it's broke, it's broke forever.
This might be the worst game of the entire PS4 / XB1 generation. How this game came so far off the rails blows my mind. Not too long ago, I was looking forward to this one.

Do we think the backlash would've been worse/not as bad/the same if they had announced 6 months ago that this was going to be a next-gen/PC release, leaving the last gen behind?

Good question. I actually wonder if they wanted to do this but discovered they couldn't because of legalities or high-ups wouldn't allow it or something. Whatever happened it is super shady and I can't wait to hear the whole story.
