        I enjoyed my time with Sunset Overdrive when it first released. I haven't checked it out in a few months and I feel pretty guilty about that considering how good it was.

        Really? Watching the GB quicklook (by Brad, who seems to like the game) made it just look incredibly boring and like it had really shitty controls.

        I like the look of it, but stuff I've seen hasn't been impressive.

            It looks like it could be more fun on PC with a mouse and without the absurd amount of auto / aim assistance.

                Max Payne 1 & 2 were the quintessential third person shooters and far better with a mouse and keyboard, but that's just my opinion.

                As far as mobility goes, something else third person like Saints Row 4 was far easier and more fun to play on PC because you never had to fight the controls even when shit got crazy with the all the superpowers and movement, it was natural. What you say about not standing still to aim is even more bonus in the mouse department. Shooting on the move where that control scheme truly shines, and always has. Just look at any old school arena shooter (quake, ut, etc), Tribes, or even newer stuff like Titanfall. Shit, drive by's in GTA. It's also one of the main reasons I still want RDR to come to PC, so I can have real gunfights on horseback and not rely on the auto-aim or dead eye to hit anything. Would be glorious.

                But for me it's also a personal preference. I abhor auto-aim in any type of shooter. When the game starts playing itself I tune out entirely. Third person or first person. People praise Destiny's combat but it's one of the worst games I've played due to the extreme aim assist. And people who find Sunset Overdrive boring, I have to imagine some of that is due to the extent the game is assisting you with the shooting, even if you can play it entirely by lobbing huge AOE bombs into crowds without any precision.

          Yes really. It's an incredible game, easily one of the best released last year.

          It looks strange, but once you play if for a bit too get used to the controls, it is great. Funny, good sized open world, fun challenges, side missions, etc. I saw a great description of this game as a mix of crackdown and Jet set radio. I think it's the only game where I completed the main story line and all the side missions.

          I don't like it very much. I actually do find it pretty boring :(

      i was skeptical when playing the intro sequence because the jumping felt so floaty. then when the real game started i was blown away. easily one of the best games i played last year.
