Hello.
Have only played a little so far (2 missions), but here are my thought on the game.
Settings are all on high, except no blur and no dof and no sun circle things (dang cant remember the name, will write this back later after going in-game), and fov upped to the max.
PC is I7 @ 4.17ghz 6 core, 16gb memory, Titan X 12gb video, 2k monitor 2560x1440 @ 120hz, Mechanical Keyboard with Cherry red mx switches, mouse, NO controller whatsoever.
1. The driving is terrible on pc with kb/mouse. Just...terrible. You click right or left for a split second, and off the road the vehicle goes. I have tried all vehicles found (major ones), motorcycles, jeep, van. All suffer from the same bug. Yes, I play The Crew, and have played FarCry 2 and FarCry 4 (which this game seems to be a mix of), and you really need to tweak the steering with kb/mouse much much more.
2. Tiny roads + huge vehicles (at least they seem huge in comparison to the roads) = Not very fun gameplay, especially with the controls being bonkers on pc/mouse. Widem the roads just a bit, and the gameplay would be much more enjoyable.
3. Walking forward using keyboard (most keys re-binded to arrows and surrounding keys) then trying to look behind you with the mouse makes you walk backwards the way you came. I know this is beta, and usually keybindings are locked, like these are (the mouse forward/back/left/right are locked), and I HOPE that in the game, they are able to be completely removed so you can look backwards like a regular game, or this is going to bad gameplay for pc gamers.
4. The pop-in is extremely bad. Its like 20 feet in front of you everything pops in. Crysis had pop-in hundreds of feet away, and looks almost as good as this game still. Please make a setting to be able to adjust this. As is is pretty bad.
5. Why cant the driver (player) fire his handgun while driving? Make the controls how they are right now, all wonky, while the player tries to shoot out the window or through it, then when not trying to shoot make the steering better.
6. It seems like there is mouse smoothing or something going on while aiming, as my mouse feels very slow while aiming (ONLY while aiming, everytime else it feels fine).
7. The road graphics look terrible compared to the vegitation. I know you have to give a little to get a little, and certainly the road would be the best bet to make look less better, but since you HAVE to be on the road so much, it is glaringly bad, both dry and in the rain.
Other than that, so far, I am loving that it is (seemingly) 4 player coop (please please please be 4 player campaign coop, and not just 'coop maps only'.
I like the gameplay. Like I said earlier, it seems to be FarCry 2 meets FarCry 4, which is not a bad thing at all. It is a game me and my buddies would buy and enjoy 4 player campaign coop in.
The distance is beautiful (anything from about 100 yards away or more. Love to look in the distance, at the fog, at the fires/smoke.
I like that there is a variety of cars in the game (I should say vehicles).
I like the on the road gameplay (but again, controls mean everything, they can break a game, make it from insta-buy to never-buy).
Overall a solid gameplay experience, and an insta-buy IF the controls are fixed before launch.
Thank you for letting me play. I will be rebooting the machine to see if that helps anything with the controls or not.
P.S.
I just tried the Sniper Ghost Warrior Beta, and you guys and gals are MILES ahead of them in terms of stability, video, audio, fov, everything really. Wildlands is actually playable, I had to uninstall Sniper after 5 minutes of stuttering (G-Sync user here).
So, kudos on your beta, it really is very good.

Another issue is when your team mates run straight into a mountain and just their head sticks up out of the ground.
When flying in the helicopter the pilot levitates out of the cockpit and floats in front of the helo, sometimes the passengers will also levitate along side the helo as it flies.
One other issue your co-op mates are standing right next to you and the HUD shows them a couple of kilometers away, so you respawn and it sends you to the other side of the map from where the action is, also does the same thing when you fast travel to them.
