[This is my FIRST ever review for a beta, so bare with me if it isn't presented the best]
Me and a buddy just got finished co-oping the beta, and it was really fun, though kind of repetitive.
I cannot comment on the visual as I was playing at 1920x1080 on LOW settings.
I have read a lot of people complaining the performance of the game, people with high-end rigs mostly who shouldn't have any issues with the game, however I'm running an i5-3570, GTX660 & 8GB DDR3 1333MHz @ 1920x1080 on medium(testing) & low and the game ran perfectly fine for me, no issues with performance at all. [Except loading, which seems to be a common thing for every tester]
Pros:
- It's fun.
- Performance is fantastic on a low-med rig. [See hardware above]
- Game options are excellent, alot of options to tweak the game. [We need this in more games, Ubi!]
- Buddy says the graphics are impressive on max settings.
- Extremely large map, a lots to explore! (In the future, of course)
- Characters models and animations are pretty neat.
- Air vehicles handle very well and easy to learn
- Bullet time and drop! [I am very impressed with this, I didn't expect them to actually put this in, but more go towards a COD-esc bullet system]
================================================== ===========
Cons:
- Upgrades. [We wasn't sure why we had Available upgrades and couldn't apply them until we realised we HAD to have certain marked goods currency, which is a bit crappy]
- Car(s) handling is just pathetic, it was like I was playing Watch_Dogs again.
- Enemy intelligence was a little off. [We could alert them, and then within a few seconds of still being in sight they would forget about us. DID NOT like this!]
- Fast travel. [The fast travelling kinda defeats the purpose of this game]
- Gunsmiths [I can't seem to figure out exactly what it's there for? I mean, I can refurbish paint, sure, but then what?]
- Information on how to unlock guns. [It's not exactly clear you HAVE to find weapons to actually unlock them, this could be improved]
- Size of the map. [Though we only had a small portion of the map to play with, I am so looking forward to getting the full game and exploring it all!]
- Very repetitive. [As stated in a few other posts by other members, the missions are repetitive... kill somebody or fetch something, there wasn't much variety]
- Stealth and/or tactics isn't required. [The game is supposed to be stealthy until you mess up, but you don't need to stealth, the enemies are just really to eliminate]
- Game is way too easy. [On the hardest difficulty, we just run guns blazing around 7+ hostiles bunched together and we would take barely any damage, the difficulty needs improving for definite]
- Civilians [The civilians have a high tendency to run infront of you during a firefight...]
- AI traffic. [They don't care, they will just straight run over your !@#]
================================================== ===========
Off the top of my head, this is all I can think of right now, but I'll more than likely coming back and editing the review when I can think of others PRO/CON points to add.
