I bought the game on launch, first and last time I made that mistake. That being said, CDR did it, as it is now, 2.0 + Phantom Freedom, if the game launched like this, I would have made that mistake some other time for the last time. Though personally, I think the game's narrative suffers for being open world and nothing will fix that, you can get around that problem by playing "the right way" but man... open world and linear "clock's tickin so" narratives will never, ever go hand in hand. The story is great but, "clock's tickin'... take ur time" is a immersion killer. NEVER buy on release. NEVER pre-order. It's never done "when it's done". But when it's done... it's pretty fking preem.
