Close to a year after release, this game is sadly still too much of a mixed bag for me to consider it good. The many (many) many glitches are still present and can render the game unplayable at times, making it a very frustrating experience. Believe me there are some amazing mechanics in this game, especially on the survival side, that can really make the game shine. But sadly, every time you start getting lost in its loot-repair-look-for-gas system, the game goes out of it's way to remind you that it was rushed through development and is at it's core broken and dated. A loading for every (pre-rendered) cinematic in a game where you'll watch a couple every hour is already irritating, but the game also only has two different times of day to alternate between and forces you to alternate between them depending on the mission you're playing, so add another loading before or after watching a cinematic (that had to load too!). The dialog is god-awful and glitchy. Many times my character started screaming in the middle of infiltrating a camp, as if he was on his bike riding. I had boozer repeat the same line three times because i made the mistake of saving my game, and once i was forced to look at all the interactions i had missed by not going to his camp for a while... one after the other. So two pre-rendered cinematics plus one in game. I'm sorry Bend Studios, that is not how you make a game.
