It is really undeniable the demo has a lot of technical problems that need to be sorted out.
On the other hand, I'm glad they mentioed how amazing the dynamic lighting system is. "The time of day cycling is truly above and beyond anything we've seen before in real-time and allows for some incredibly lush vistas. This is enhanced further by the inclusion of a full cloud simulation and an artistically lovely use of high dynamic range lighting. Taken as a whole, the results stand as some of the most impressive we've seen in an open world experience. It's easy to look beyond the demo's limitations and appreciate what the team is attempting on a wider scale.".
Edit: and the animations of course : "However, what really brings these characters to life, is the remarkably complex animation system. There is just a tremendous amount of animation in this game and, from what we've gathered, it appears to use some sort of animation AI routine. This helps control how characters move and react to their surroundings by focusing their attention on the expected points of interest. The way characters transition in and out of various actions feels quite natural and the three party members by your side always feel grounded within the environment. Above all else, the quality and variety of the animation really adds a lot to the experience."
