What you think so far fam?
I like it a lot so far.
The story gives you a thousand reasons why you do what you are doing. I don't want to say too much about it, but its like a well written movie. They do not hold back and the characters are believable.
The atmosphere of this game is amazing as hell. You are a black man in 1968 and will be reminded
I walked into the wrong bar, got sucker punched and the cops were called
The random dialogue from people in the area makes things feel alive. Folks talk about the Vietnam war, Martin Luther King being shot, what is going on in the city etc.
The combat gives you tools to do whatever you want. I could stealth through an entire area for fun if I wanted. Knife fools around corners, hide bodies, whistle to get their attention, etc.
They do a "last known location" thing like what Splinter Cell Conviction had. They will seek out and shoot at the last place they saw you, allowing you to go around and flank em. Thing is, they
will flank you. Some will flush you out with grenades and molotovs. You can go Rambo all you want and not get penalized for it. You do "brutal executions" which makes everyone around who saw it freak out, giving you some breathing room. I love the shooting in this game, headshot after headshot. With the lame starting pistol too
.
I carry a sniper rifle to pick guys off in the distance. Man, when I plug a guy at close range and he goes flying into a wall
Driving is pretty arcade like, but you can turn on sim mode for more of a realistice feel. I don't use it, I love flying around corner with ease.
When that camera swoops around to make you feel the Gs
I guess my small gripe is that I don't have total freedom yet, but I'm working on getting Vito and Burke atm. I was getting all the collectables in the first district before moving on. You wiretap parts of the map to see stuff like a Ubisoft game.
Graphics are decent (to me, I'm playing maxed out on the PC
) and the whole 30 fps "issue" don't bug me, I played on consoles for years before I got a gaming rig. You can't customize cars yet, that is going to be free DLC along with outfits for Lincoln.
THE SOUNDTRACK
I could go on man.
I feel better playing this than GTA V.
