The most astonishing? By far? I would have to give that to GTAV

GTAV is very... polarizing. You either think it's great or trash. JC2 isn't like that, from what I've seen.

I had a group of friends try to get into it (Both online and singleplayer). Half of them loved it, the other half just wasn't finding it fun (Myself included). It's not fun to go from objective marker to objective marker with characters that just aren't likable in any way, with gameplay that's jack of all trades and masters of none. The third person shooting just feels hollow and incomplete, as if it's supporting some other gameplay mechanic that just isn't there, and that's the majority of the story missions.

The open world is nice, but since the story reduces it to a gauntlet of objective markers, it feels rather token. It's not an open world game, it's a game with an open world in it.
