After GFWL integration was replaced with R* Social App, things have gone downhill with this game. Make no mistake, game itself is good, but the error handling of R* is beyond atrocious. And I almost started to miss GFWL because of the B$ I'm through with R* Social App. At least I could run in offline mode without a hassle in GFWL.

Since the game has now become Single Player R* Social App should NOT be a prerequisite to RUN this game. I fail to see the necessity to swap one stupid broken DRM with another just to play a game that was converted into SINGLE PLAYER by stripping all online functions away. It literally makes NO DIFFERENCE than GFWL on this front. Many users were forced to downgrade and cracked the game just to play a game they PAID FOR! And to play this game without any major issues and mods, downgrade seems to be best choice so far. Amazing, just what we needed, really... Updates that broke more than addressing actual fixes. For those out there wondering what to do after the whole debacle, you can still request your CD Key from Steam Support so that you can downgrade your copy.

There are many things to list as the negative parts. The terrible handling of the chain of issues done so far regarding the game starting from so-called music copyright issues, not so frequent but annoying random game crashes, weird save game issues due to date confusion, AI bugs including the one in the last mission which wasted my time for NO GOOD REASON, as if pouring salt to the injury isn't enough forcing the end user to HAVE AN INTERNET CONNECTION for a game that had it's online functions REMOVED, I nominate R* for "The Most Incompetent Devs" award with a successful flying colors of epic failure by attaining score of -1/10. Bravo!
