Agreed, the visuals on this game are top-notch!
But I am confused by the changes released in this last update with regard to the storyline. I see some of the events occur at different times than they did in 8.1. Additionally, some scenes are just gone altogether (garage with Hana, first kiss in the prologue, etc.). Also some previous choices to help you define the character your own way have been removed as well (trailer explosion, etc). Hopefully, this update is just the first stage of reworking the storyline and character development.
That said, as noted above, if they wanted to make the storyline about sweep streets and kept upgrading the visuals and giving us "seeding" options, I'd still play it happily.
