Holy god, I'm watching the Synthetic Man stream and the game looks so dull and boring. Volition's so fucked.

The goods points are half arsed as well. "Well the character creator is diverse and you can make your dangerhair tranny fantasies real" and "we have every stereotype woke character in here and they are fun to be around" (press x to doubt). The bad points are damning due to key works. Anticlimactic, clunky mechanics, boring...these are not words that should be used to describe a video game. Boring should be the last thing I hear from a game that is meant to be an open world shooter.

Worth A Buy is right, this is the result of reviewers who kept giving positive reviews to shit games.

Been doing some research and we were wrong to bitch about the soundtrack.
There's a country station, a retro/synthwave station, a punk/rock station and a Nuclear Blast records metal station

A fairly serious take that boils down the issues (and explains why this is more than likely the end of SR):

Too late. I posted the soundtrack listing and we spent a couple of pages razzing it.

I am currently share-playing it with my buddy who got an early copy and I'll post my thoughts here later tonight

How can a soundtrack from a game from 15 years ago surpass its reboot with a fraction of its budget?

Okay I want to make very clear that I got a code with the GPU I bought as an upgrade because I needed one anyway I do not recommend buying shit on the Epic store.
I will get the good out of the way first:
-Driving is fine, it's like the previous games, I'm not one for racing games and what is on offer here works well enough for me.
-Customization is good. As in looks. There's lots of options and they all work well enough but sometimes for no reason your colors will reset to default on what you're wearing and your car, at least for one piece. For guns it seems to stick just fine.
-Same goes for parts on your car, it's good, there's plenty to choose from.
-Some credit for hidden secrets, there's plenty to find.
Moving right along:
-This is a big one. Gunplay is floaty and imprecise, I guess it's fine if you play with a controller and auto aim but that shit ain't for me. There isn't even an option to change mouse sensitivity which is fucking ridiculous in this day in age, even for ports, all but the worst ones have that.
-Performance is worse than it should be, it runs hot for not that much gain over SRIV, although I haven't done a side by side.
-The characters, fuck me, the characters. Waffle guy was discussed here before and so far that's pretty much it for him. Nigger Nerd is worse though. He insists on listening to fucking self help audio books on outings, he gets gut shot early on and of course doesn't have the decency to just die. Car chick seems mostly fine I guess? May just be in contrast to the others though.
-The fucking quipping. It worked in the other games for me mostly but here it goes beyond in both frequency in insipidness both from characters involved and subject matter.
-Map itself seems small and empty both at the same time, there's lots of desert and just hovels.
All in all I'd say the game could work mostly if they improved gunplay by a lot, ditched the characters for something better written even though voice acting seems mostly inoffensive, it's just what they're saying. Clearly needs a once over in the performance optimization as well, needs a better story writer, needs some visual glitches fixed even though for me they haven't been super common, at least for now, needs an overhaul of the skill system, needs lots of work for the enemy combat AI, needs to really add some options for guns beyond the two upgrades per gun you can pick at certain levels, even the old games had much more, needs vehicle delivery unless that comes later and I just haven't unlocked it yet.
In current state would not recommend at all but I do admit some of the bigger issues are very fixable but sadly, the biggest one, the characters and story, are not gonna get fixed, no way they put in that effort.

Oh shit forgot about that completely. It is not. It's just a generic "you want to abort the mission?".

I played it for two hours.
I fucking hated it. I just fucking quit because, holy shit.
Poor Value Steve Urkle made me want to shoot him myself.
That Neena chick? Someone should fucking take a bat to her.
And shirtless douche? Goddamn, I hate him soooo fucking much.
The driving is shit.
The combat is shit.
The hand to hand is shit.
The missions are shit.
The voice acting is shit.
The script is shit.
This whole game was distilled liquid shit piped through the internet.
I hope everyone who made this game ends up homeless and sucking monkeypox cock for survival.
0/10.
It has literally NO redeeming qualities.
Not fucking one.
And I got it for free.
And I was still ripped off.

When you realize that Deep Silver published both games AND they're set in the desert.
Ride to Hell tried to be edgy; this reboot tries to be "woke." Both suck.
I think this game is worse than Ride to Hell by a hair. Ride to Hell was its OWN pile of shit. This reboot is a pile of shit on top of a great series.
