My positive opinion reversed after I'd finished DP. It'd been turning around more and more all the time, though - nothing sudden. I lost all connection with its supporters during the lauded Amazing Grace Happening.
Which version are you playing, DJ? iirc the PS3/PC release has a bug that causes every car you drive to forever make a horrible squealing sound. Not sure if it's fixable and/or if it's a bug that's present on every disc. |
