I got it expecting to hate it, but as I kept playing, I found myself legitimately enjoying it. Not begrudgingly enjoying it, not enjoying it outside of one or two small details, but actually being engaged in the story and gameplay. Which leads me to wondering why people had a problem with this game in the first place again?
People mostly didn’t like the story I think. Personally it was my favorite game since the 2nd one due to the day night cycle and the expansive world.
