Ok, I played for a few hours today after patching it. The European patch seemed to install just fine on my version.
This game is very rough around the edges, even with the 2.0 patch. Still, I can easily see why it's so popular with some people. The game world is huge, and the level of freedom exceeds just about anything I've ever seen in an open-world game.
I really like how you actually have to learn how to do certain things in-game. For instance, you can't just jump into a helicopter without being trained to use it. I wish more developers would take that approach.
Those things said, there are some aspects about BP that really irk me…
First, why do non-human enemies only attack me? I see snakes, etc., go right past soldiers and neither side reacts, but everything goes aggro towards me as soon as I come into view.
Then there's the drivers… talk about annoying. They did a horrible job in regards to making NPCs drive realistically. What's worst though is the way they'll sometimes constantly honk their horns over and over again for no apparent reason. I actually stopped playing today because I was getting so irritated with it.
Are there any mods for this game? I did a quick search but didn't come up with anything. I'd like to give BP a serious run, but I'd have to tweak some things first. I'd like to mod out the car horns, and change the crosshair to start. I'd also like to be able to toggle run/walk, instead of having to hold down a key to walk, which seems backwards to me.
This game has so much potential. I'd like to see someone like Wesp turn his attention to it.
