So, er, anyway, I've been playing this recently. Up to the (first?) Hengsha hub. I like the atmosphere of the world, and the fact that I can just walk around and not have my hand held by over-controlling game developers.
As mentioned earlier, though, the lip-syncing is embarrassing (DXHR's still miles behind Mass Effect, a game that came out four years ago, in terms of digital acting), the characters all animate like they really, really need to go to the toilet, and the boss fights... the boss fights...
Still, I'm enjoying it for now.
Oh, as for graphics: I've got it maxed out on my new super-system, and it's really not a visually striking game. You could even get away with playing this one on console, which is something I rarely (if ever) say. The graphics are more about the artwork (which is solid) anyway.
