I have played over 100 hours and am STILL discovering unfinished or swept away chunks of game. Probably thought I was going to say "I'm STILL finding cool stuff to do" but... eh. I know I said I finished this but I'm glitched out of a few missions... If this were complete and reliable, it'd still be a 7/10, though, let's not get it twisted. Deus Ex in an open world with real consequences this ain't, check out the youtubes and see for yourself that it's not any more deep than just a good FPS with loot and sex scenes. It's an RPG like Borderlands was is what I'm saying - not a terrible game by any means, just nowhere near as good as anyone expected. Mission Giver 1 tells you to go to Place 1 and shoot Guy 1. Repeat 100 times. Maybe they had to cut the really fun parts out because there doesn't seem to be anything of value in the non-mission critical areas of the map. Is there even a point to the swimming outside of one mission (which itself was one of many several escort and listen scenes)? Is there a point to having any contacts in your phone when you can't do anything with anyone? GTA IV was released in 2008 to put things into perspective. Remember that video about all the dope cars you can drive? You grind to save money to buy them from people you never meet but somehow know your phone number and call you to say "hey, V, got a sweet ride that'll cost you all the money you've earned so far stashed by a dock! Bye!" So why did I play it for so long?
Well, the game is 7/10 so there's no reason to snub it, nothing special, but Keanu and the soundtrack really do make up for a lot of its problems. Hacking and shooting is better than Watch_Dogs and Syndicate so if you liked that combo kill style, this game has it. Maybe some of it was denial, though - I mean, all those reviewers couldn't have been lying to us! YongYea and Alanah Pierce looked so happy when they talked about it months before it dropped, right? That's why it's more fun to watch it being played than to flatline every 50 minutes on your own, honestly. Get it in a year when they fix most of it.
update: kinda fixed. All the next fixes have been pushed a year. It's cheap now and this is the most final version we're getting so go for it.

the main and side quests are definitely worth playing. there is some smaller copy+paste content that isn't worth it
It is very good as you can enjoy the game in the future where you can live your fantasy :) teehee

Having played release and now on 1.6 the difference is night and day. This Game really shines now the bugs have been ironed out and the story is a genuine joy to play. If you never played it at release I urge anyone who was interested to give it a go now as this is now the experience we all wished we had at release.

I have no idea why everyone rated this game "exceptional" but sure isn't. The story might be "good" but the gameplay is bad, repetitive and boring asf. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone but of course, this is just my opinion.
