Thanks for your opinion. You're not the first and won't be the last to make a quick judgment. As with any game, there are flaws in the beginning that get improved with patches.
Of course, I will keep an eye on it, i think if you fix the non-freeroam scenes to line up properly it'll be better, (there are scenes that you're supposed to know a character that you haven't "met" yet, and then a few scenes later you "meet" them, etc)
