I have a 30 day sub to WoW so I am solo running every raid/dungeon I can to see how high I can go, then I will jump into this.

I love this game. It's the perfect game to have a few drinks and then go and wreck shite. Explosions and weapons are loud and full making blowing stuff up more fun. I like that you have some good weapons available from the start. I don't know much about the story yet and don't expect anything grandiose there. Just point me to a new area to blow more stuff up.

I only have about 2 hours in at this point playing on XBOX. So far I haven't had any issues with the picture but I don't doubt I will eventually. It hasn't detracted from the game yet so I'm happy for now.

I'm 8 hours into it on PC, all of Act 1 finished.

Loving the game, so much fun, so many things to do.

GTA5 + Far Cry = JC3. Just a lot of fun.

One bug that is annoying, car disappears while driving it, throwing you out onto the street with no car in sight, and the engine continues to rev for a few seconds after. It's pretty funny though. Happened twice to me yesterday.

PC.

ETA: Just beat the campaign, that was a blast. Enjoyed the story quite a bit. Just an overall really fun game.

Now with sandbox mode unlocked time to GTA the hell out of it for awhile, and unlock every territory.

I rented it for 3 days on Xbox. Its kind of clunky and unrefined compared to GTAV in my opinion and at first I kinda hated it.......but eventually it won me over due to the grapple hook + wingsuit mechanic and the upgrade driven challenges. The upgrades are meaningful and provide fun for when you get tired of just blowing shite up. Its a straight up hybrid of Far Cry and GTA with a cool transportation mechanic.

That being said, the Xbox can get SERIOUSLY bogged down framerates when you blow too much shite up in a certain area. Like bullet time slow. To me, its a 5 day rental type game but a whole lot of fun for what it is.

It's definitely a fun game but I got a little burned out on it this weekend. I've done everything except jumps on the first two areas including the missions. I've probably liberated 60% of the third area but haven't done too many missions or side quests.

I just had so much time on Thursday, Friday and Saturday to play the game I got a little tired of doing the same thing over and over again. Not a complaint because it's fun stuff. I'm taking a few days off and will probably hit it up again this weekend and be revitalized.

I definitely recommend the game, though!

Finished it. There are three settlements I will not liberate due to the QTE shutting down the receivers. The game was a lot of fun, according to steam it took 41 hours.
