What more can be said of this generational masterpiece that is simply the greatest PC game ever made? The world, the immersion, the inter-connectivity of everything is so far beyond any other game it's not even close. The default game is already beyond compare and the multitude of excellent mods push it into the stratosphere. The only downside is now every other game I try to play doesn't measure up.
A potentially fun game completely ruined by one unforgivably stupid design choice by the developers, that being to freeze the gameplay controls and the action unexpectedly every time a captain shows up and force you too sit idle and listen to a worthless dialogue rant cutscene for 10 to 15 seconds. It's only annoying at first, but it happens CONSTANTLY and a few hours into the game it becomes unbearably irritating and they didn't include an option to turn it off. Google it yourself and see how many people quit the game before finishing because of this "feature". I will never buy a game from this studio again.
I don't understand all the love for this. I don't know why you play games but I play them to have fun. I certainly do not play them to make myself so frustrated and angry that I can hardly see straight, which was my experience 95% of the time playing this garbage. Dying 1,067 times in the first hour is not fun. Desperately spamming the A and D keys on a keyboard when prompted is not fun. Running around puzzle solving and running around killing dudes IS fun, but this game only lets me do that 5% of the time. Mostly I'm stuck in yet another stupid QTE until I can die enough times to memorize the pattern that lets me live, then move forward 10 seconds and start the next QTE die and reload loop. It breaks all immersion and atmosphere and interest when you have to get machine gunned off the same exploding rooftop or impaled by a tree branch 35 times before you can continue playing. And what's up with that torture porn death animation? 67% complete and not going to bother finishing this.
