I literally hate this game with a passion.
I'm actually going to try and list as many points as I can about this game, but keep in mind, you will probably find more things wrong with this game than I can even list.
1) Such a freakin horribly pretentious game. This game is like the Jaden Smith of video games. Like sure, you think you're being seen as this edgy, radical, trend defining game. But instead, you're a boring, buggy, lackluster snoozefest. The lack of self awareness this game has is insane. Just do a few things right, and be humble.
2) The story tries to not be contrived, but ends up a pointless tale that nobody can empathize with. They kill off one good character towards the beginning. The first friend character. That was the only part I actually had a feeling of involvement with in the game, hiding in the apartment, watching events through the walls. But besides that, I couldn't care less about my own main character V, or what happens to and through him in the game.
3) combat is garbage. Firstly, you store a few extra weapons in your inventory, and suddenly you start walking like a senior citizen in high intensity shoot outs. If you want to limit weapon storage, just don't allow a player to store more weapons than they can. Don't ruin their experience by slowing them down and stuff.
Also, you have like this watchdogs tool that let's you hack stuff. But you blow up a gas canister an enemy is standing right next to, and the enemy gets injured, but loses like 10 percent of their health, so what was the point. Also, you are now compromised, because enemies can trace your location in this game.
No stealth attacks. No stealth or strategy in general. The lack of damage your attacks do just results in enemies spotting you, and alerting their squad.
3 or 4 I can't even remember or care) the dialogue omg. Like the entire game I just pressed square and left to try and skip the crappy dialogue as much as I could. I can't remember a single characters name. Unnecessary choices in dialogue. Excessive dialogue as well. Like I want to play the game. Not skip through boring dialogue. I don't care about these characters, why are you making me endure this.
And bugs omg. I'll complete a chapter, even on ps5, and suddenly the game will crash. And by the way, if you die in a fight, the game might send you back to a while ago. Checkpoints are not well placed, and even if you finish a fight, the game might crash.
At the end, I was confused, and glad that at least the game was over. As a developer myself, I have no respect for the people who made this game, and coming home tired from work, putting my PlayStation on, and having to endure this. Honestly the developers of this game should go to jail. People give their hard earned money for games like this, and the producers of this game should feel bad about that. This was the first time in my life I went onto the Sony website trying to get a refund for a purchase.
Absolute garbage. I could go on, and maybe I will edit this review in the future to add more comments.
