Alright so after a few days of playing around (and only a few missions haha mostly just playing around and checking out new vehicles and the map) My initial impression of the game is GOOD, well better than good. Despite the long ass download for the "patch" and after everything updated (a couple more smaller patches too?) the game has run very smoothly and hasnt crashed/dumped yet. I even messed around with the video editor which seems to be really cool. (although havent dove in all the way yet) Some things of note about it I wish would be addressed with a mod, or with a patch.
Perhaps make the draw distance and camera placement distances to be about twice as long as they are currently in the video editor mode. (so that rendering distance is even farther than currently, and camera placement can be made further away from the player, perhaps twice as far or more (why is it limited for video editor?)
Game play is awesome, havent found any map glitches yet either. After another week or so of gameplay I'm writing up a longer article about this that might be a bit more indepth with some more info and possible suggestions for R* or modders!
