About 200 hours in with 4 characters one of which is freshly made to replay with my wife and the others are either in late game or completed. One is 100%.
This game still amazes me and the DLC was masterfully crafted although many main missions had previsible segments. Still, I loved every second and that last drink with Alex was a nice touch (oh and that spooky Aguilar message... haha ).
It's clear you guys spent a lot of time making every new location look so pretty and unique. Some buildings were so good I found myself wishing they weren't abandoned midway through construction or degraded to such degree.
The gameplay changes brought with the 2.0 update were also warmly welcomed although my maxed out character felt even more godly as I tore down enemies with ease (normal difficulty). Having all those stat points felt so wrong. I wish for the sequel to have more limitations forcing re-rolls to enjoy different gameplay modes, content and missions.
Yes, pretty please, make it so that you have to start over to enjoy all content. I'd rather only see 50% of possible content in a single play-through so that I get more chances of a unique character story each time I replay.
I do have 2 other completed re-rolls in higher difficulty so I'll see later how they fare gameplay and story wise.
Collecting cars is a nice side activity even if I don't care too much about it, same for weapons and apartments.
Talking about apartments, they always felt wrong to me, like the previous owner was kicked out the day before if you know what I mean. The static decorations and furniture that doesn't suit my taste, not to mention they're so small and barely accommodate someone single, or a young couple, forget about raising a kid in any of those. Am I the only one to think about such trivial things? X) Anyway, because of that I always went to Judy's after a big assignment as a role play moment, sat at her bar for a snack, had a shower and went to bed.
Yeah, so, NPC development was something I expected to see more of. I though the update also introduced more dialogue from special NPC's, including with V's love interest. I did get some lovely calls from Judy and her grandma which was cute as hell but going to her apartment for the evening always resulted in her greeting me with the same frustrating line. The positive side being V would wake up with a sweet and warm cuddle.
I'll see how everything goes with my other characters but in the meantime. Thank you for the ride. It was a blast.
