I have played this game for over 400 hours, and have had no interest in ever playing in open play. I have never seen the appeal of the 'multiplayer' aspects of this game. I really feel like the game would be much better if it either focused on just being a good singleplayer experience or a good multiplayer one. 50% of the game's updates I am left thinking, ok, why should I care about this?
The Rise To Power 'content', if you can even call it content, is part of the 50% of the game I have zero interest in.
