I agree that pressing the directional pad down to crouch and then down again to stand is kind of weird, but I got used to it fast. However, the lack of any kind of cover system is an odd omission since a good amount of the gameplay is shooting.

I got used to it but it's cumbersome as hell and not intuitive at all. I barely even use it. As for the lack of a cover system, it makes sense when you realize this isn't a cover based, stop and pop shooter. It's a run and gun shooter and you're supposed to be constantly moving. Think a third person DOOM and you get the idea.

Yeah, it is kind of cumbersome. I barely use it as well, but sometimes it’s nice to be able to duck behind something when bullets are flying at me from every direction.

I agree that you pretty much have to constantly be moving and rolling during the firefights, but it would still be nice to be able to take cover at times. I still do by crouching behind things, but it’s not the same as being able to take actual cover against something.

 

I played the game a lot today, and it has gotten even better as I’ve gotten further in it. While I was enjoying it from the start, it has picked up even more by offering more abilities, skills, perks and things to do. I’ve been having a great time with it, it’s a lot of fun to play. It’s shaping up to be my second favorite game in the series, I still like 2 more but I’m liking this a little more than 3 which was my second favorite game in the series up until now. I don’t get why so many critics are down on it, because it’s a really good game IMO.

Played a few hours doing side missions last night and had a lot of fun, really like the wing suit! Yeah, I’m really digging this city. It is a little buggy though yeah, I couldn’t pass one side mission because it was spawning the last enemy outside of view and if you try to chase after it then you are out of mission area. Replayed it, same thing. For the most part it’s fine though, just a few bugs I’m sure will be ironed out soon. I’m really digging the run and gun gameplay vs cover shooting.

Gamers claiming that the game is completely broken are over dramatizing it. I love the variety on the map. The gunplay is fun as hell and the finishing moves are brutal lol. The violence is great! It is just stupid silly shoot 'em up goodness. I am really enjoying it.

Yeah it’s not even close to anything I would consider broken. It’ll probably be fine in like a week or two lol.

Nope. Cannot enter buildings in the game. It was confirmed in one of the reviews I read.

You can’t walk in off the streets but a mission inside the casino has to be a given. 
 

I like it. It definitely feels more of a throwback to old school open world games.

Yeah that’s what I meant, obviously you can’t go inside and explore them in the open world, we don’t seem to be there yet in open world design unfortunately, but there’s gotta be at least one casino mission, hoping more than one.

Do you mean marking where you want to go on the map? You just move the cursor where you want to go, and press a button to select it.

It wasn't working the night before. In fact when I went to the map, there was no icon representing the player on the map when I played it shortly after it launched. Now there is and the location marking for specific locations is working now. It wasn't before.

 

 

I wasn't the only one who had this issue at launch. They must've hot fixed it.

I dislike in open world games when there are mission areas that you can’t leave without getting a warning telling you that you’re leaving a mission area, and only have a few seconds to return to it. I was doing an @tcha side hustle and I was being swarmed by enemies, so I ran away to recover health and it said that I was leaving the mission area. I didn’t even run that far away from where the mission had started, so it kind of pissed me off. This is an open world game, you shouldn’t be locked into small mission areas that you can’t leave. At the very least, the mission areas should be really big.

Man I really want to be off work and playing this.

I’ll play it all day today for you, how’s that? :p

That’s weird, I never experienced that. I wonder if the PS4 version is less buggy than the current gen console versions and PC version, because I’ve played it for hours and have barely experienced any issues with it. The reviews complaining about bugs and glitches have all been for the current gen console versions, and PC version.

Yeah, I’m not a big fan of the out of mission range stuff either. It gives a 10 second count but i swear it’s quicker than 10 seconds too. I had another one where the enemy was out of mission zone too, but was able to hit them, only if i stepped just outside of the mission zone and kept having to run back and forth after getting a couple shots out.

I’m hyped to dive into some actual missions after work. 

 

Anyone who read the reviews know about how long this game is supposed to be? I’ll have to add 20 hours to whatever that amount is for driving around doing nothing.

 

18-20 hours to complete the main story missions.

I mean it could be but I doubt it... I LITERALLY played the game as soon as it unlocked and I had that issue. It's gone now, so apprently they fixed it pretty quickly which is good. Outside of that and some weird physics quirk I haven't seen too many bugs. I just wanted to point out that it WAS an issue and I didn't imagine it :p
