don't know if any of you played the closed beta but i did. after my time with it; a few hours worth, then again a couple more hours last friday. i was sold and went ahead and bought the game. i gotta say playing was a lot of fun. Yes, the smaller map size. I didnt care. that map size has a lot more detail per block now, and there is a lot more data to dig down into. (much more than the older titles.) also the aesthetics convey more than just pretty pictures, aesthetics of a block tells you information about the area. ie. trash on the streets, graffiti on the walls etc. traffic jams aren't just sprites anymore and the Glass Box engine is fantastic!
Im still not sure about Origin (dont care if it's an always online title. i have a lot of those games now) but more of the business practices of EA (just like many of you) fact of the matter, EA is a business and if selling DLCs and micro-payments works as a business model then so be it. (it's not like they invented the practice) and truth be told, they really aren't abusing it.
for all those who did buy the game. you can pre-load it tonight at 11pm it'll be available to play 12:01am
