The story is annoying and constant but you can skip the cutscenes without any real loss, especially as Low Rank is now fully tutorial mode only with it being faceroll so you are just dragging it out longer by watching the stupid cutscenes.

But the game is so poorly optimized that you have a low chance of being able to actually play it without constant and major issues. Not even a "upgrade your PC" problem but top to bottom of the line hardware just doesn't work because of a shit ton of bad choices in the code.

So no, its absolutely not worth it right now. Its pretty great if you can actually play it, but that's a huge if at the moment. Give it until Summer and check back in, imo.
