I've played this game for a few hours, and so far I definitely don't think it deserves the scores it's getting. It's a cool game, but the missions aren't that great so far... Throwing a brick through a window to intimidate someone? Boo hoo... Unsurprisingly, I've already seen a lot of technical problems and bugs, but that's to be expected on a Rockstar game, even the 2D games were filled with bugs.
Entertaining, polished in some ways, but not enough to warrant the hype it's getting. I think I'll have a lot of fun continuing to play it though.
