Somewhere along the way, late last year, the game updated and my nVidia drivers updated at almost the same time. After that, the game locks up after three to ten minutes, every time I boot it up. I haven't bothered with it since, and never tried problem-solving this issue, since we all dove back hard into our coop sessions for Breakpoint. I'd still like to actually finish the game once. The weapons customization stuff seemed ridiculously complex, so I found myself a solution I liked, using the special items: having a turret and the little tracking rolling mines, all maxed out and boosted from the gear I was wearing, a good handgun, and a rocking assault rifle. Made for a decent single player game that way, and I was less concerned about constantly updating every last little piece of kit (until forced to by the leveling system, of course).
The setting is awesome to me, because I've wandered around many of the exact same streets in DC, in actual meatspace. Have a hideout underneath the Hirshhorn Museum, for example, was pretty damned cool, since that building and its grounds was a highlight of one of my trips a few years ago. In contrast, I fucking hate anything to do with NYC, so I think I avoided the first game just for that - I also hate Christmas, bah humbug! so the setting in the first just put me right off wanting to play it.
They also seem pretty vague with their "leaving gamepass soon", they've only just started putting dates on there. On PSNow theres an expiry date on everything "300days left" which would be nice if they brought that to every title. Hitman 3 for example, I'm 100% certain I wont be done with that by the time it cycles out so I'll probably just buy it on steam. Everything should be cross save, it would make my brain less anxious.
