> Why did you buy this game if you knew it was early access? It sounds to me like most of your complaints are inaccurate or rather petty. There aren’t left and right kick buttons, just attack buttons, and I don’t have a problem with how they’re placed. All the right stick functions I can find are move camera, which I don’t use as the default view is fine. It sucks that the control remap is not in place yet (it’s “coming soon” in the menu), but I think the game works fine with the default xbox 360 controller settings. The mission goals complaint is nitpicky, you have to raise your wanted level, and the other mission types are race, race the masters, time trial, and take down.

I’ve had medium to minor issues with it but it’s by no means unplayable or anything.

I expect games to make sense and be fun, even in early access.

Attracting the attention of the police by bumping their cars makes sense; attracting their attention by _repeatedly bumping their cars **until they explode** _ does not.

Taking down opponents is fun; finally pulling next to an opponent only to be forced off into the dirt & brush by a sharp turn _nearly every single time_ is not.

Crashing in that dirt & brush then being reset on the road makes sense; being reset on a _completely different road **which ends at sudden vertical drop** _ does not.
