You can read any number of others' posts just like this and you will get mixed answers all the way down. Simple answer is yes it is playable although there are still some issues.
You probably have some time off coming very soon. Playing this game would be a great way to spend part of it.
If you still haven't picked it up yet I wouldn't until xbox has all of their problems fixed as well. It's pretty ****ing annoying trying to play with friends when the party system doesn't work. Message
