Thinking of buying.

So i am thinking of buying this game, I have emergeNYC but looking for something new and was wondering what everyone that has played the game has thought about it?

I'm playing it on console, and on an Xbox One at that. LOVE this game. Three hours of play, no bugs i can see, yet.

It's by far the best fire/water simulation hands down.
It's mission driven so no real open world or randomly generated calls, you select the mission on the map and you unlock the new ones with xp points.
The drive it's the most divisive aspect of the game, as much i love driving in game, here i personally think it's the least fun implementation, luckily a user posted his 100% save files so i can freely play every mission.
The mission variety itsn't that big, you have some master ambients, a couple of factory and some hoods houses, some missions are fixed and other have a seed generator that randomize the starting fire, number and position of survivors, but most of the missions are pretty similar and in the long run you'll might miss some variation.

But in the end it's pretty fun and as i said the water/fire simulation it's incredibly detailed and realistic, the fire feels hot and dangerous and it propagate in a convincing way.

I was on the fence from a long time 'till i decided to buy it, and i don't regret.

At least you can decide to drive or start at scene after you finished that mission and want to play that again.

Right, but the option should be from the start, not forced.
As is the drive it's a waste of time and makes almost no sense, especially if you're playing solo and you end on an quick extinguish mission after a 10 minutes drive.

Check out "Into The Flames" on Steam, sounds like it would be right up your ally.

It only have an open world settings, but it's miles behind this about anything else.

do not buy this game if you have any lag at all they are making firefighters look like a joke by forcing us to drive like lunatics in a set amount of time across the entire map which is 100% impossible with any lag what so ever i give this game 0 stars because they refuse to fix the biggest issues such as this retarded response timer when everyone knows response time is based on distance from the call, traffic, speed limits, and driving conditions, all effect the speed at which firefighters respond! Speaking as a RL one i would rather the apparatus driver drive as safe as they can because we have the lights and siren telling other drivers to move out of our way and we can controlled stop intersections
