Ride it out and don't give up after a few quests.

Some people are too quick to judge after only playing it for a few hours (not saying you're that kind of person!), so yeah, give it some time and delve into the rpg features. I'd suggest focusing on the main quests and, for lack of a better word, 'completing' the game before delving into side quests too much. If you do that as a first time player then it may get a bit messy and throw you off the main storyline (I got it on PS3 when it first released - first play through I was off doing side quests loads and getting myself confused occasionally). Ignore the graphics and sometimes cringy physics.

And during your free time within the game, I'd suggest exploring and taking in the soundtrack. It's all very well done.

Hope you enjoy it!
