I really don't enjoy watching PC games. The camera is too spastic for an outside viewer.

This game gameplay wise isn't the most amazing thing out there in the world, but it can be fun. Add in friends and teamwork and it's even better.  
 
Even when not in missions, we have plenty of fun doing random things out in the world (even as an Enforcer) with other random players and by ourselves. The game is both a little thin, and full of treasures to discover. 
 
It's just unfortunate that Jeff didn't see what I got to in the game. And even more unfortunate that in front of the loyal GiantBomb community that he's so adamantly relating this to Crimecraft (a piece of shit garbage game).

"
Jeff is not a team player (despite being the editor in chief of a video game community website), so the social aspects of any game mean nothing to him.
 
Also, it's an MMO, and as such, requires progression. Starting out with shit guns and shit cars that are boring makes sense from a design perspective, but if Jeff is not having fun within thirty minutes, there is no reason for him to want to play more to unlock guns and cars that don't suck.
 
This Quick Look is not out of character for Jeff in the least!

Looks like a slightly less bad crimcraft with vomit inducing driving camera, even had to just listen and click on a dif tab.
 
Why the hell would this ever be a monthly fee game?

The customization in this game is really impressive, all things considered.
 
I thought I saw at least two players all done up as David Caruso, too. So, you know. That's awesome.

I had to stop watching this after about fifteen minutes because the camera on both the character and the cars was so bad, that it was making me sick.

I didn't like it in the beta. The car handling totally turned me off it. Unless it has been considerably improved (And it doesn't sound like it from watching this) I'm not even gonna consider going for this. The rest of the game also seems rather empty.

The car camera was reeeeally bad. It swayed a whole lot.
The character camera was pretty standard.

After several months of playing in the beta, I was left with absolutely no desire to buy this.

I was really hoping it would bet better.

I see no reason at all to play this game. And if Jeff really didn't controll the camera all the time while driving then thats the worst thing ive ever seen.

It seems like a critical error not have a map present on screen when playing. Looks like a nightmare to navigate the world.

Nice though would have enjoyed seeing more of the vehicle customization/choices. Car physics though seem a bit too floaty for what I was expecting in the game. 
 
Edit: really enjoyed seeing Jeff's repeated insanity to driving on the wrong seat in the car. Jeff's often statement of 'i am a policeman' for some reason reminded me of Raz from Psychonauts with the one Milkman level.

The jump makes me feel ill. Why would you change the FOV on a f-ing jump?
 
Holy shit this game is floaty as my dumps. Gravity is 9.8 m/s/s, Realtime Worlds.

This game seems just as bad as Crimecraft, but with a horrible, shady payment structure that doesn't feel justified given the small scope of the game, little to no interaction with anything or anyone, and just how awful everything about the gameplay looks. With the list of things the developer is saying they're trying to fix (damn near EVERYTHING), it's laughable to see how a game like this can even be put on shelves. The only thing that is not completely garbage is the character customization, but even that looks pretty clunky.
 
And to everyone defending this game, saying that "It's better when you're playing with friends", ANY GAME IS BETTER WITH YOUR FRIENDS. This game is just bad.
 
Ugh.
