@jimabadon: It begs the question that why a game has latino gangs as enemies? Really? Why not? Just because your president is racist suddenly no one is allowed to show any negative depiction any race other than white?

"The political implications of the game's demographic makeup are appalling"

Are there a lot of white people in latino gangs such as MS-13? I am genuinely asking.

I honestly do not get the insistence of these "reviewers" on injecting political views everywhere they can. Not every single person on earth cares about what is going on in your country, USA is not the entire world. If you ask me, as a so called brown person from outside of USA, that is more racist than having latino people in latino gangs. Stop freaking out about your political climate for a second to write a simple review.

@Vodoo: the weird thing is that I seem to be one of the few people who think paying for skipping parts of a game is not a good thing. Amazing that you guys insist having xp boosts does not effect anything in the game. Like the designers are such idiots that they put something in the game and did not expect anyone to buy it...again, if you think they just have this stuff in th game without any need for it, you are delusional. But I guess this is where we are now, people jumping in to defend these crappy practices in games blindly. No wonder AAA games are getting more and more crap each year.

@Mogan: You hit a point where you need to level up like 7 times to be able to continue the story, and you have to spend time grinding out boring side quests. There just happen to be a booster to can buy to halve the time needed for this. If you guys really think they just added the XP boosts for the lolz and did not design the game in a way that drives people to spend a little bit of extra cash, you guys are so delusional it is not even funny.

"Slow pacing that can make playing the already overwhelming campaign a drag"

This plus the ability to buy XP boosts up to 50%...and some say microtransactions have no effect on the game design.

Lots of comments by people who do not know exactly what does a difficulty spike mean...it is not just increased difficulty as the game progresses, dummies! Read this an get educated:

@str8killa007: Huh, the games are not even out yet and you know for a fact that they are worth buying. The hype culture is strong with this one.

@Barighm: yeah somehow I think you are lying. Nice try though.

@vfighter: Well, they already mentioned in the official press release that the game has two characters. This is something so important that they would not miss the chance to announce. At best it will have extra characters as DLC.

Only two characters, LAME! Even the first one had three...
