I've played games that were a buggy mess of crashes and slowdowns,

Legend of Kay is not one of those games. I Have never seen a game have so many animation errors in cutscenes. its like the timing is off on the animation, characters loop through their talking animation like a poorly done GIF.

None of this affects the gameplay, save one point where the camera got stuck in cutscene mode and refused to focus on kay properly. but jeez,

I can't see this kind of issue getting through testing so I assume it has to be some strange hardware/software interaction.
