I felt like I wanted to like this game. I'm a fan of large free-roam games, but that's the thing...this game is a little TOO big, like, unnecessarily huge. I saw an in-game tip before I started that said I could get the black market contact to extract me to previously discovered locations, but I didn't know I had to unlock it first. So, I wasted 20 minutes driving a boat to the next mission because I didn't discover any locations or unlock the extraction yet. Also, the controller doesn't even rumble when I get hurt, like most games, so unless I'm looking at the health bar, I can never really tell when I'm getting hurt until the screen starts flashing red, so I guess I just have to kill everyone on the screen before they kill me, which is also a pain, because the health regeneration is totally inconsistent, there's also no way to take cover because you have to HOLD the crouch button, unlike most games where it lets you choose if you want to hold or toggle the crouch button. The land vehicles were almost impossible to control, it felt like I was steering a bar of soap. I don't know if I just had a dirty or scratched disc, but some of the loading screens took forever to load, and they always have loading screens in between a bunch of 4 second long cut scenes. Also, sometimes the dialogue will skip like a broken record, like the first stronghold I did we go up to the base and the radio goes, "We have a-We have a-We have a-We have a visual!" stuff like that happened a lot and I've never seen a video game do that. There's also a "sprint" button, but whenever I use it I don't seem to move much faster. I was at least hoping to get a chance to explore this expansive map, but I can't go anywhere without the military attacking me for absolutely no reason. I'd just be flying around in a helicopter trying to discover locations, when suddenly I get a heat level for doing nothing, then I get blown up by a SAM. What I'm out of space? I didn't even get to the things I DID like abou
