I want to recommend this game, but R*'s ♥♥♥♥♥♥ business model absolutely ruins it.

Pros:
>Arguably one of the best single player games ever
>vehicles are fun to drive and varied
>single player story has hundreds of hours of game play if you don't speed run
>R* stepped down from the forge ban for single player

Cons:
>character movement is still pretty bad, but tolerable on controller.
>Multiplayer is an unregulated ♥♥♥♥ show because R* only bans people who cheat money, not the people making the game toxic because toxicity doesn't cut into their $$$$$$
>all updates are multiplayer exclusive, all the fancy/fun ♥♥♥♥ is locked down to multiplayer. Single player hasn't been touched since launch.

My advice: buy it for the single player when it's on sale and don't even touch the multiplayer unless you have enough friends to fill a lobby (5-15 people).
