I'm not anywhere close to even a quarter of the way to finishing this game and I don't mind one bit.
It's beautiful, the acting is fantastic, the work is varied....as far as the genre goes, it's almost the perfect game. I'm blown away by the scale and I haven't even been to all the islands yet. The detail is extraordinary and, in case you missed it, everything is just drop dead gorgeous. I love just walking the sidewalks and listening to crowds chatter. Just ambient noise, but it's so very, very cool.
That being said, I don't like the combat system too much and--just in general--I hate timed mission stuff, but thankfully there isn't too much of either in significant enough chunks to turn me off of this game.
There are some weird pop-ins occassionally, but that's to be expected considering the scale, draw distances and such and, thankfully, I haven't had any of the freezing issues I've read about.
I was never a big GTA fan in general, but now I'm a believer. Everyone should pick up this game, even if it's just to dig around in the sandbox for a bit.
