Also I'd like to give my two cents on the driving, since I've had time to get used to it. I don't see many problems with it, and I even like it. I think it'll be a matter of taste just like any other openworld game, and it does take some getting used to. Some people will love the more arcadey feel, others won't. Arcadey doesn't mean weightless in this regard, as the cars smash and drift around satisfactorily. In this respect, it mostly just means that the cars take a bit more punishment. J turns are fairly easy depending on the cars your driving, you can overturn and spin out, some cars handle better than other cars, etc. You definitely have to brake before turns or you will end up crashing into shit and missing your turn. Generally I'd say that it's similar to Driver: San Fran. Way better than Sleeping Dogs and Saints Row driving, but I still like GTA 4 and 5's driving the best. This comes with one caveat though; motorcycles in this game are amazing and better than in every open world game I've played, and are pretty much all I drive. It's the perfect vigilante. You can cut through traffic easily and without fear of murdering a bunch of pedestrians while you're at it. You can cut through raised bollards as the cops get wrecked right behind you, etc. They are very maneuverable and just feel right, I guess.
I don't want to pirate it and Origin is only going to unlock it on Tuesday, but having to read about everyone else playing the game is harsh.
