Things I Hate:
Invisible walls. This is supposed to be a wide open game so why can’t I jump over certain walls or get close to others?
World layout bugs. Objects through walls, trees floating several inches too high, etc. These are all things that take away from being totally engrossed in the game.
Incredibly bad car physics. You do A LOT of driving on this game but it feels so stiff and completely unfun.
Everyone is an enemy. Surely this isn’t realistic. Where are all the innocent people to kill?
Enemy respawns. If you clear an area and go back to it a few minutes later it’s completely rebuilt and full of enemies. Why not have a much slower respawn rate?
Repetitive audio. The music is interesting but surely they could have more variety. Enemy voice acting seems out of place with too many ‘white’ actors and repetitive. Might as well use the Wilhelm scream.
Audio ESP. I hate games that change the audio to indicate an enemy is near before I see them. It’s like cheating.
Can only track one mission at a time. This wouldn’t be so bad except that missions will randomly take you to opposite ends of the map. This means a lot of boring driving or re-killing countless guard posts.
Enemy AI. It’s passable but there are some real problems. Enemies *always* go far cars it seems. Kill the driver and the gunner goes to the driver seat. Enemies are given amazing accuracy. Shot gun headshot from a mile away. Right. They run around a lot which is good but if you fire a gun they’ll STOP and LET YOU shoot them. Bleh.
Bugs. Game isn’t crashy which is GREAT. EA could learn something from Ubisoft. But certain missions don’t work correctly.
Saving. On the PC after many full saves it now takes the game well over 4 minutes to actually pop open the save dialog. And the Save Boxes in the game world which make sense on the console versions of this game don’t fit at all on the PC.
Things I Like:
Fire physics.
Gun unreliability and break downs.
Main character voice acting.
Weapon choices. There is a lot of strategy in this game.
Varied terrain.
Diamond hunting.
