This “solution” is of course used in the PlayStation 4 version of the game, but also in the PC version with every “ultra” settings turned on. Since “suspension of disbelief” is a very important factor for open world games, using the same patterns for the reflections can be disturbing a great deal for some people. What do you think? Does it bothers you or not?
