There are the makings of a fantastic game in here, I truly do mean that. The physics of sledding/skiing/flying/etc. feel great, the world is huge, and the ragdoll physics when you wipe out are really fun. However, I should have known better than to trust it, being a Ubisoft title. It's always online, and impossible to play any objectives/races/etc without being connected, so anything in the game that isn't free roam essentially has an expiration date of whenever Ubisoft pulls the plug on the servers. Aside from that, when I first started playing, my controller was completely unusable. It would work for a second, not work for another second, and the button inputs would randomly change while playing the game. Once I sorted that out (for some reason it requires Steam Input) after an hour or so of playing I started getting ads between gameplay sections telling me to buy the DLC, even though I had bought the "X-Games Gold Edition" that supposedly came with all the DLC. I refunded it after that.
