What subtle touch of this game made you go "wow, they really thought about everything"?

    I agree. I kind of dislike how modern games rely too much on storytelling and it's like because they have a good story they are allowed to make the gameplay less than perfect but some games do get it right. I remember playing fight night and feeling like rocky because of the storyline and how well they integrated the challenges in the single player mode into a complete experience.

    I see. There are also games that have little to no story, and focus mainly on gameplay. I assume those are the ones you prefer. In away, though, that can be done wrong as well. That's almost worse because there is no story to distract from working on the gameplay and in-game elements. Still, as it is with everything, you'll find some good and some bad.

    Yeah I think that is what I like most about those games because they don't have anything else to rely on except the gameplay. It's what I love about the older games but when done right and with smaller doses I can also enjoy the modern games with stories.

    The thing that surprised me is that when I was driving in a car and I noticed that someone else was looting a bank and I got totally shock that I was not the only alive man in the city.And I felt that I was in the real world and it pretty excited me to live every moment in the game.

    When I played the game and I first found bicycle, the place looked much like the beginning of GTA: San Andreas, and I believe it was meant to. Brought back many memories.

    I've always loved the air particles and I always make sure to have this setting on its highest which I believe is 'ultra', might be 'very high' though. Either way I love watching little particles flying throughout the environment, dust, grass, little specs of light. It really adds a nice element to the game.

    I also love the sound the water makes when you are just floating on a jetski by your yacht. Kind of relaxing, actually.

    I would have to say the look and the sound of the water as well. Little things like that always seem to make an impression on me, and how that @Norjak71 above mentioned it, the little air and dust particles floating in the air is pretty cool too. It just makes it all a little more believable, which of course is a good thing.

    I downloaded it, and I was standing in a city with slenderman, a makeshift Samus character, and a ton of giant purple hulks. Random glaciers just popped up in front of me, and every car was a yellow or orange mustang that was three times the size of everyone. The town was just the same 5 building copied over and over again, and the only thing you can do is run around and punch. You never die... :D
