Mind you, the auto save feature needs to not be retarded, i.e. AUTO SAVE IMMEDIATELY AFTER COMPLETING THE MISSION YOU F*CK RAG! Several times I've finally done a mission, and then bam - either a game freeze/crash, or it just goes black without freezing or anything (i.e. just decides to not load, and therefore not save my progress - this happened on the last Ronin mission and on the last mission of the entire game, the Bonus mission, which I had to do THREE F*CKING TIMES due to that, and then a game freeze/crash the second time around  )
This is especially annoying when you've fought hard to do the mission, then you have the longest cinematic on planet earth, then you have a million f*cking bits of info about "you earned this" yada-yada-yada before you can return to the game, which is WHEN IT SAVES, but sod's law dictates that you'll get royally effed in the ay and it'll freeze/crash or just fail to load before you get to the save point, oh gee thanks.
And then the odd silly thing here and there - those two samurai sword battles - why, they're stupid and rarely work, it's just blind luck that you can hit them, and then when you do, they fly so far back you can barely get to them in time to actually slice at them because you're doing that samurai/sumo walk that takes forever to get anywhere.
Or really unbalanced difficulties in missions or especially activities. Some missions will be piss-f*ck easy, and others will be bloody annoying beyond belief (like the final Ultor mission when you have to do the bit with the helicopter, jesus christ that had me royally f*cked off).
But activities - either they're super-duper-easy, or they start moderately easy and then become absolutely 100% impossible at level 4 or 5 our of 6.
Such as - insurance fraud - you'll get out there, and there'll be NOTHING to run into, the streets will be totally empty. Or, trail blazing, you can't see where you're going, the quad handles like sh*t, and you never get your second check point flagged up ever, so you are almost always not sure where you're going, and then you have absolutely not enough time - even on f*cking CASUAL mode - to do it.
Or mayhem - again, you'll get somewhere and there'll be nothing to blow up, and there will certainly almost never be ANYTHING with a red arrow above it to shoot, I mean wtf is the point in that?!
And I've heard races are preposterously hard at times, sheesh.
...
It's a shame because those stupid f*cking mistakes and ignorance to detail spoils the over all game and just pisses you off, instead of providing you with fun. Did the testers not find any of these faults? Were they high at the time? Did the programmers not notice these stupid imbalances and faults? I mean come on.
*sigh*
Anyway, there is plenty of fun to be had, it's just needlessly buggy/glitchy/improperly balanced.
