You’re right. I didn’t even buy it pre order because I hate doing that and never will. So, after the game was launched, I watched some streams, the game seemed fun and no really big complaints anywhere. A couple of friends also bought the game, and told me it was fun.
And, to be honest, they weren’t wrong. The game WAS fun… Until you end the story and it’s just boring.
I played on both betas too and did enjoy the gameplay and such. Couldn’t wait for more of the story…
So that’s how I ended up buying it 1week or so after release.
