This is not what anybody expected. It's like they dont know how to design a good game, only how to tell a story.
I've been killed no less than 7 times because I slid too far down a hill that I APPARENTLY wasnt supposed to walk on. Dont get me started on the invisible walls, hows that "open world" at all?
All the armor and guns look similar to their counterparts in the category, the "open world" levels are smaller than any fallout world, and the inventory system is garbage.
Let's not forget you dont even need to level up to beat this game. I didnt even bother with doing it until I finally found a sniper rifle at level 11, then the game was just Click-On-Heads Simulator.
In summary, it's like they took out all the fun Fallout stuff, and kept all the stuff people hated about New Vegas, but also tossed out fun gameplay.
You cant even go into a third person camera, and Max Payne did bullet time (and gameplay) better.
*EDIT* I've beaten the game twice, just to be sure I wasnt maybe playing it wrong somehow. Killing everyone and being a generally mean dude instead of a hero is the way to play this one.
