I didn't have any major issues. (i7 6850k, 1080Ti, 32GB RAM, NVME SSD, 32:9 1440p super-ultra-wide monitor, played with Xbox controller which took about an hour of tuning the sensitivity settings) This game was easily my favorite single player game in years. Don't really compare it to GTA, though it has some obvious similarities visually, the gameplay is nothing the same. It plays more like Fallout 4 combat and character creation, Mass Effect dialog, with a dash or Borderlands weapon variability. If you go in expecting the best and worst from those games, you will be prepared for the experience. Also of note, its very easy to min/max. I personally love this, a single player game should allow such freedoms. This has a bit of a downside, in that if you try to be the "best" you can be, the game gets easy. Since there are some decent branches in the story, and more importantly a drastically different ways to accomplish missions (Range combat, hand to hand, stealth), I think you'd be doing yourself a disservice by trying to play the "perfect" build. The game is more fun if you give your character a "code." My first character felt he should defeat all enemies in hand-to-hand combat. Unlike the Elder Scrolls games, Hand-to-hand is a very viable, and pretty satisfying combat style. The side quests are huge in this game. If you b-line through the main story, you are missing out. The games the biggest flaw is that it encourages you to do just that. The main story's urgency will have you feeling bad for doing side quests most of the time. There is no penalty for delaying doing the main quests, however. So do some mental gymnastics, and put off doing the main quests until you really feel like you are ready for them. If you let yourself become immersed in the world, this game is epic. If you like FPS combat focused RPGs with a decent amount of dialog, and enjoy the cyber punk setting, I think you'll love this game (assuming you don't run into any game breaking glitches)
Loved this one back when it came out. The idea of planning which battles to fight and then being in them was (and still pretty much is) very unique. I seem to remember it being a bit easy to sway the battle when you piloted in it, but that just made you feel more epic. I don't recall any story either, you kind of make your own. I'm not sure I could play this game now, since graphics, controls and flight models have come so far, but it was a favorite when it came out.
