E.D.’s First Impressions
My stuff’s not here yet [though my console may have arrived today, will know later] so here’s my good buddy E.D.’s first impressions:
First impressions…
Sick, sick, sick, holy fuckin shit sick fuckin’ A….
It’s a whole ‘other’ life/ existence dude. And that’s goddamn dangerous…
That pretty much says it all, i think.

So by the time the store opened this morning there were about 20 people in line. I muscled way through to 3rd in line as the slack-ass clerk took his time ringing folks up. A second one arrived and opened his till in time to move things along…
So after getting home, upgrading my system software to accommodate this thing (which takes ten minutes or so, to let you know), we were off. Immediately you feel the power and potential in this next-gen title of our beloved series. The detail is juicy, the expanses vast, as well as the draw distance. I don’t want to give any plot points away to those who haven’t played yet (site manager & owner), but needless to say not many missions into this thing the temptation is too great to stray, to deviate, and begin the ‘random carnage mode’ which distinguishes this series from everything else. As before, you don’t have access to every borough/ town/ section of the map right off the bat. Those must be earned. I’m going to also resist the temptation to search out cheats and arm myself to the teeth with invincibility. It will mean more if the slow, steady access to bigger and bigger artillery is earned. But so far, the hype is earned and I look forward to this whole thing unfolding very slowly. Righteous…
