No Arena/Warzone/Firefight etc.

Forge and Custom Games only. No proper matchmaking with ranked/unranked playlists.

... Or with friends? Squad up with mates and it's a blast

No.

For those playing on Xbox, I've found that loading times are vastly decreased if you store the game on a USB3 device (5-10 seconds).

I got a 4GB update on One X.

It's almost as if we are all individuals with our own views circumstances and not, in fact, a hive mind Quick! Run!

I see your point, but I think it's not just one or the other, it's surely a bit of both. For example some of the reviews of Crackdown 3 I've seen appear to be going after a reaction and that game is on Gamepass. If I'm not enjoying a game then I at least attempt to get a refund. By no means should we be out of pocket with a product we don't like.

It's probably more that these YouTube reviewers etc. Are chasing after that overreaction in order to get the clicks on their video. It appears that everything needs to be either GOTY or absolute shit and nothing in between. It's no big deal to me really, I'll play what I want and form my own opinions. It was just an observation

It's so weird feeling that people on the Internet might actually hate you for enjoying a computer game. Fair enough if you don't like it but to campaign for others to not play it is just... Strange (Crackdown 3 being another example, I remember seeing similar when Sea of Thieves first released as well). Is this a new-ish thing? Anyway, I'm loving this so far! I'm really enjoying just flying about and kicking ass with friends. The coordination of a squad on comms is really satisfying right down to the 'jingle' when you combo the enemy. It really feels like I'm part of a squad of superheroes. It looks absolutely stunning as well. There was one region of the map we all arrived at within a few seconds of each all and let out a collective "wow" at the view. Looking at the screenshot though... The HUD is a cluttered mess which I never really noticed when playing. We need a "exclude HUD when taking a screenshot" option. http://imgur.com/gallery/z5ZRWbl My biggest gripe is the length of the loading times as well as the frequency of them... Not sure which is worse. I remember Destiny being bad but there were fewer of them and they at least attempted an illusion of you travelling through space to try and maintain some sort of immersion.

Like Destiny, the idea of grinding missions for weapons with higher numbers can get in the bin... But I absolutely love flying around the map and the combat is a lot of fun. I'll just be playing this for that alone and my pals can get on with obsessing over the stats. Oh and they can continue to obsess about their stats while out of the suit and not half way through a mission

Have you tried turning your eyes off and on again?

I would be but you can't party up with friends for the MP mode. Its not like they didn't have enough time to have that feature ready for launch or anything... I'm still looking forward to blasting through the campaign though!
