I never finished it but I jump into it every five or so years. It still gives me a bit of that open world magic that I used to feel. The world is just full enough of stuff to do without feeling like cheap padding, and the atmosphere is really nice. It just makes me feel like how I want these games to make me feel. The graphics and physics are dated but they are all I need for this atmosphere.

I think like a lot of people I wasn’t as enthused about the uniformed police missions. Especially because of the setting. The protests in Beirut and in HK had a lot of overlap so there was a lot of “tried and tested” safety measures we were getting directly from what was happening there. It’s not quite copaganda so it’s fine

Maybe I should make an effort to finish it already. I can’t keep relearning the combat every few years.
