Didn't care for it at all. I really hope that Microsoft forces Bethesda to focus on their superior titles like Fallout and the Elder Scrolls.

What didn't you like about it? I quite enjoyed the story and lore.

I'm not saying the game wasn't good. Examples of other good games series I've just up and walked out on...would be Final Fantasy......it's popular, Resident Evil is popular. Street Fighter is popular. Assassin's Creed is popular. What do all those games have in common with me? They bore the shit out of me. I just couldn't stick with it. I'm a picky guy with an open mind. I see things other people don't see. If it doesn't keep me interested, I'm done with it. I move on. If the game doesn't suck me in and I don't get a connection to where I religiously play that game for months on end. It just ain't gonna happen. Control falls in with the rest of those games.

Well, I disagree; but, that's the beauty of gaming like any other entertainment medium, there's a niche for everyone.
 
This game had so much potential to be something great, but it is marred by bugs, design choices, and story structure. The first few hours were great, the rest of the game, not so much. But reviews are mixed for most people. It's very interesting and beautiful game. Don't expect a generic shooter, Control is so much more. It's a fresh approach to modern gaming for who wants something special.

I can agree. It also has the potential to have a bunch of DLC that people would be willing to pay for to experience the rest of the background and lore. I'm aiming to get the two DLC currently available when I have a chance and some spare cash laying around.

I would definitely have fixed the camera angles, they can become frustrating when trying to fight several enemies at the same time, close and far.
