Love this game. Thanks noobtrain for everything you had done and love your work. And thank you skybarbie for keeping it going.
That said.
Request:
Because this game is advertised as a completely free, sandbox, choose your own choice game, I would love it if a truly free sandbox version/option was available. The family storyline is good but I would like the option to start the game with family already available and to avoid ALL story. A true sandbox experience. Also you might get this criticism a lot but the whole family arch comes way too late in the game. By the time I started that story, I was already emperor of the world, and felt like "why are these plebs even a problem?"
Also the story forces/horse shoes you into being a criminal even if you weren't or didn't want to. Which is contrary to a sandbox game. I had a certain game playthrough where I chose to become a boxing champion and used that money to buy legit property, stores, factories, etc. Unfortunately, I had to eventually corrupt the police and deal with drug lords to progress the story.
Thank you.
