[QUOTE="mmu1, post: 3898922, member: 319"] I've played for a couple of hours so far, and I'd call some of the issues mildly furstrating, at most. (keep in mind that they often exaggerate for comedic value, and Gabe apparently has the attention span of a mayfly, so just because something is frustrating to [i]him[/i]...) The menu system could do certain things better - I can see how it could get clusmy to manage your inventory once you have a lot more stuff, a couple of places could use a "cancel and exit" button, and I'd like a hotkey for the map, but if you're a serious gamer, chances are you've seen [i]much[/i] worse. The load times - so far, anyway - haven't been bad at all. Most of the time, KotOR had longer ones - though granted, I didn't spend much time in the larger locations. (never mind a game like The Witcher... now [i]those[/i] are damn long load times, and the game still rocked) The combat definitely takes some getting used to, but I found it ok, and it's slowly growing on me. The hacking "mini-game" is silly and irrelevant, but hasn't really gotten in the way of my enjoyment of the game at all. We'll see if that's still the case when I have to open some harder locks, I guess. Overall, I'd say this game is as good as if not better (and no more frustrating) than any other top Bioware title (KotOR, BG2) - it has its flaws, but I think many people are exagerrating them and their impact on gameplay and the enjoyability of the game, because of the hype and insanely high expectations.
