I am totally blown away by this game. Holy shit was it worth the wait!
The amount of details in the gameworld are unreal, there is so much to explore and to do. The graphic fidelity is sick, some stuff looks damn near real, like the water environments: waves, shallow water and underwater all look superb. The streets, buildings, back alleys, everything seems handcrafted. I can just walk around look at stuff like a tourist and not be bored at all. The mountain in the distance? You can actually drive there and climb the damn thing, maybe get eaten by a mountain lion while doing so (much like in RDR).
And yeah Bungie, thats how you do voice acting: all the different characters and random people have personality thanks to the over the top voice acting and diversity of expressions. Thanks to all that, the game world comes alive.
All the havoc you can cause... the randomness can be hilarious: For example, by mistake i drove into a field where some mexican farmers were planting corn or whatever and they got really pissed off because i was ruining their work. They ran after me with pitchforks yelling while i drove in circles around them and the mud was splattering all over the place. Admittedly very retarded but funny as hell situation. Or you can just stand at a random intersection and waiting for stuff to happen, like a police shootout vs a taco truck driver. The hilarity of paramedics who leave the bodies "i'm gonna be sick" and drive over more random victims. Everything is entertaining as fuck.
Rockstar are true wizards.
I am sure they did the whole 1st person thing in advance for VR. Morpheus or Oculus can't release soon enough.
