I think what they put out was not bad but it is really disappointing that it was such a short game especially since we have been waiting so long for it. Ngl I didn’t have high hopes for this game when I first saw the trailers but I decided to give it a chance. Right off the bat it seemed like it had no identity. The new characters were quite bland and did not have much involvement in the story. I won’t lie though I did enjoy the gameplay even though there was some bugs. One bug I ran into a lot was there was no cars or pedestrians at all at some points. I spent a whole night playing and did not see anyone else besides enemies. It made it very annoying when you finished a mission but had no way of getting to the next one without running the entire time.
Another thing is I loved the previous games customization with the characters but this game severely lacked that. Each store barely sold anything and the hair options lack especially for women. I thought there would be a lot more since some of the trailers stressed how good the new customization is but it was quite the opposite. However I will give it props for giving us a chance to decorate our own base.
I would also like to note that the weapons are not that great. I went through the entire game mainly using a pistol even for boss fights. Speaking of which the boss fights were not that hard at all if you can even call it a boss fight.
The story line has cut itself short. I think it could have been a lot better if they took more time to get into the gangs more and the characters backgrounds. It all seems so short. For the amount of time they took to work on it, I expected a lot more with it. Especially with the trailers looking as involved as they were. It overall seems like a completely unfinished game.
