Anyone else pick this up yet? I haven't had much time to mess with it but so far it has been a fantastic game.

Game of the Year. 14% complete, maybe 30 hours. Wish I had more time to play. I'm sorting grinding it like an RPG, or at least how I play them, hoarding resources and building my bases as fast as possible to make the rest of the game smoother. Have done 8 main Missions and every side op available so far(25~?) And have fultoned almost everything of stuff. 6 wolves, 2 bears, nearly a dozen donkeys, and a heard of sheep, cleaned out almost every base and outpost in Afganistan at least once. I go through every base twice, first for the guys, them for the stuff. If you take stuff first someone might notice and put the base on alert. I have Quiet and the dog but can't use either yet.

I have repeated every mission until I get ALL objectives complete.

The crazy thing is I'm not a completionist. I just want to because its fun, and playing a mission twice can mean two totally different experiences.

Best open world game since Just Cause 2.

My brother has it on PC. He says the AI is incredibly smart

Not so much individual AI as collective. Sneak in to bases, they lay mines. Blast into bases, they wear armor. Headshots? They wear more helmets.

Take a guy out midway into a message to command, they send someone to investigate. Attack a base and a patrol is nearby after leaving, the patrol will turn back around to assist.

Tranq a guy near a tank and it honks to wake him up. If you do anything to an enemy and they wake up or get away, they dont forget, they start an alert, anda entire region of of bases will go on alert.

A few times I have had the enemy track me for half a mile out of a base.

If the police ever got this AI in GTA series and they actively hunt you it will be a whole new ballgame.

Good game, cool twist on the "truth" ending, which was kind of a non shocker anyhow. Overall,wish it was completed...

Glad I got the collectors edition so I can watch the blu ray with the scenes from the unfinished mission

I had to watch it on YouTube lol. Looked like it would have actually been a good boss fight because there weren't any good ones IMO.

I beat it, well the first two credit rolls anyway. Haven't unlocked 46, for the true end and final credit roll(although I know what happens), so building out MB now. 94 hours(really 89, since was idle to allow time for upgrades) and 63%. So when I unlock 46 I'll probably be 65-70% and 95 true hours(105 or so with idle chopper time).

For those that don't know there are three sucessive endings. Mission 31(end of chapter 1), 45(end of chapter 2), and 46( basically the epilogue).

In the meantime I'm idle mostly and playing Halo MCC so I'm almost decent for 5 on tuesday
