Who played / completed Hardline's campaign?

[ronniesoak]

I completed Hardline this weekend and I had many mixed thoughts about the game and wondered if anyone else did. I have listed my  pros and cons below but it contains spoilers.
 
 

Pros

• The first half of the story was very interesting and nuance seeming it was about being a detective, however.... (see cons)
• Protagonist Male not generic white America, Hispanic male
• Protagonist female not generic white America, Asian and not a love interest for the sake of being a love interest
• Good weapon unlock system with clear paths to encourage you to seek out the evidence
• I liked the length, though that's a personal thing

Cons

• the novelty of that story goes out the window when you stop being a cop and it becomes a generic shooter.
• Why am I arresting people when I am no longer a cop?
• An element of stealth gameplay without any real stealth mechanics, basically I stealth'ed until i got caught then gunned everyone down.
• The NPC's were limited copy and paste models. In the car dealership it was the same three asian men being sent at you, very obvious when fighting  ~8 guys.
• AI NPC's are stoopid

 

Let me know.
