I've been playing it for a good couple months and I'm still nowhere near tired of it, I'll actually replay the whole game once I beat it because it's so much fun. Love the story and voice acting too. This game goes on sale a lot so I'd highly suggest getting jt for cheap and trying it out

I think a lot of us would have appreciated a more optional approach to a lot of the story stuff back at the base. Some of it can go on for a long time, may not be particularly engaging or exciting, and can just leave you wishing you could get back to the combat loop. Also, what's up with that walking/jogging animation at the home base? I've spent $50 in the Unreal store and imported motion captured animations, ready for use in a commercial game, that looked better than that and could be hooked up in a few hours.

It's a very good game that, when I recommend it, typically comes with an asterisk attached.

They had a free weekend and I was enjoying it until all of the story stuff back at the base. I typically like that kind of stuff but there was way too much of it.

I think the big problem wasn't just the quantity, but the content. Every conversation felt like a character was just narrating their wiki bio to me, and not actually talking about anything current.
