my biggest issue was the bullet sponging and totally unbalanced combat, youd either be a god that couldnt die or someone who has to land 50 headshots with a sniper rifle to kill someone

    Lol you’ve been downvoted for sharing your opinion after specifically being asked to do so. Also not a single person at the time I write this has provided a reason for why the game is good in their opinion. Great thread!

      Here’s my opinion: The story is good and the characters are great. I really do feel a connection with the characters and empathise with them. The world feels real but also cinematic. I recall a time where I found myself amongst oil derrigs and there was fog all around lit up with a blue tinge. It was amazing, beautiful, and scary because I was expecting someone to jump out at any time and start firing but it was just me, wandering through the mud, alone at midnight.

      I never fast travel, I always walk or drive to my next location, and it’s a great experience every time. If I’m driving there is kickass music to listen to, and if I’m walking I see the NPCs going about their daily sidewalk vomit.

      I added mods to up the damage, so a fight feels very dangerous. I can kill in a second with my sword, but I can also die in a second from a few bullets. Fights don’t usually last very long but they are intense.

      It’s definitely a great game (now) and worth the time. It does well at immersion, at always having another thing to do, at having meaningful choices, ad at depicting the world.

        I definitely agree with the no fast travel thing…the scenery is just so fucking pretty, though I do find myself road raging a lot!

          One time I was riding my motorbike and being impatient, I hit a car and accidentally killed the driver. I reloaded the save.

          I mostly drive around obeying the traffic laws (which is difficult because everyone drives on the wrong side of the road) because it gives me that vibe of cruising around as a no-good delinquent, scoping out places for the next job.

        Of course this is Reddit now. It’s filled with people from Reddit, worse, active people from Reddit. What was the expectation here?
