There's definitely a bit of the Seinfeld Effect going on with this game. I'd always heard amazing things about it but the gameplay felt largely run-of-the-mill by today's standards, and that's because this game is what made these open world mechanics so common place.

With that said, the characters are phenomenal pretty much across the board. Vaas, Buck, Dennis, Citra, Sam -- it's almost unfair how many amazing characters are here. Props to the writing team. The story is very generic but the characters are so great it doesn't matter. I'm looking forward to checking out the newer games.
