I never really liked GRAW for the computer. I thought it a bit too difficult (IT'S MY OPINION, PLEASE DON'T GO BERATING ME), and that the main character felt far too weak, and controlled badly.
You see, I like shooting stuff. I loved Modern Warfares 1 and 2, Halo 1 through 3, and stuff like Borderlands. I like that. But in GRAW, I barely every got an opportunity to shoot stuff, because as soon as an enemy saw me he'd pump my face full of lead and I'd be dead within 20 seconds out of getting out of cover. It's annoying.
Not to mention your main character is absolutely pitiful. He meanders about the massive city as if for all the world he's strolling through central park. At least jog slightly! I can maintain a steady jog for more than 5 minutes, why can't a commando saving the president do it?
Also, the main character is a bit weak compared to his teammates, even. Whenever there were enemies (whether it be 2 or 4), I'd just send out my team to kill them, and they'd just step out, and shoot maybe 3 concentrated bursts each and when I looked at the results, the fight was done, with my teammates still at full health.
I DON'T GET IT! What's so great about it? When I can't melee, can't jog and shoot at the same time, and can't even step out of cover without the hyperaware AI getting a lock on me and killing me in three seconds, what is there to like in the shooter?
I suppose I'm just not the planning type. I prefer to try and charge in and kill everything, and take cover when necessary. I tried being cautious, but as soon as I'd lean, I'd get shot. I just don't understand how to enjoy the game when I'm so limited.
