I waited a bit before putting in a review, but the game has been out for 7 months now and its still a complete mess. I thought maybe I could work around the remaining problems or use community mods to make it work, but its just frustrating to play.

These are the problems I ran into before even starting to build a city:
- Roads without the underground power lines disappear when you're in the power view, so trying to place down power lines along the side of a pre-built highway becomes a chore. You can't see where the highway actually is other than seeing the red intersecting objects message randomly.
- The terrain editor bugs out the world. Was just trying to level out some dirt and the ground would repeatedly flash out of existence.
- Tried connecting a road to a long gently curved road, and got blocked at every possible part due to "invalid shapes".
- Creating your own grids is near impossible. The intersections have these tiny fractions of a bend to them, so even when the game says its a 90* bend, its not. This completely breaks all the zoning around, and the only way to fix it is to delete everything and try again. I haven't found any snapping settings to fix this.
- The demand meters feel completely random, starting the same map and layout multiple times I would get very different demands. There's no way to plan for what should logically come next.

Maybe a few years down the line it'll be worth trying again, but definitely not today.

This is insanely fun! There's a few bugs in multiplayer but it played well enough for me and my friends to have a good time

What a happy, fun, wholesome experience.

I wanted so badly for this to be good, and its just incredibly boring. I've spent over an hour just running from one way point to the other; load new map, run way point to way point, load new map, rinse and repeat. The first sign of some actual game play to battle some droids, it turns into a cut scene instead of giving you something to actually do.

Maybe the rest of the game actually has some content other than being a walking simulator, but I'm just not willing to sink that much time to find out.

Great game, challenging but so satisfying. Even losing repeatedly just makes you want to try again and again because its just fun to play.

For a $50 game, this was painfully repetitive, from the reviews I expected a lot more.

Take a contract > fight skeletons or pick up treasure > sell > repeat. The game is beautiful, but after playing for an hour everything just looks the same. Every enemy is just a Ctrl C + Ctrl V skeleton.

Or you can blow 4 hours on a fetch quest just for some players camping an outpost to take everything you've earned. What a waste of time.

This game is amazing. Been playing it repeatedly and even though I already know whats about to happen, I still jump and get scared sometimes. I look forward to what new content will get added!

It seems to have potential but honestly I just found the game frustraiting. The menus seem messy, invites to friends wern't working, and its annoying trying to fight off enemies when they rush you from every possible corner every round; there's no way to defend yourself. Trying to capture points was just beyond tedious.

Don't waste your time on it like I did. You'll be fighting off trolls, hackers, and undeserved bans.

Grinded my way up to past level 200, had plenty of cars and businesses which took an insane amount of time to aquire, even with buying a few shark cards to help boost. In the end, I get a 30 day ban for mods that have never touched my account.

Last Rockstar game I ever waste time and money on.

Signed up for the beta and had the game installed on launch day, I've been able to play multiplayer only twice due to network issues. I've tried every possible firewall and router suggestion I could find to no avail.

The two games I did manage to connect into it was okay at best. Older CoD titles did multiplayer much better. Why do I need to connect into a server (HQ) with other players just to access certain content?

The maps are tiny and poorly designed, the guns are meh, and the general feel is the game is lacking. The first level of the campaign is okay but I don't feel like spending $80 on 6 or 7 hours of content... requested a refund.
