What I can say so far is that the story is definitely pretty dope. The way they tell the story in a flashback-esque way makes it strong. New Boredeoux seems kinda confusing at first as there's blips on the map that leave a whole lot to the imagination.
I don't like the loading times between scenes or when you die. Seems like it takes forever to get back into the action. Another thing I don't like is that during combat, there is no easy way to quickly evade/roll out of the way of oncoming fire like GTA. Maybe I'm used to it.
I turned off auto aim and I'm playing on medium at the moment. The AI seems to be somewhat smart which was a concern of mine from the preview videos. Also, the cops fuck with you if you break traffic laws in their line of sight.
So far the game is pretty decent.
