I can't agree with this comment enough.
I finally picked this game up about six months ago. I get very little time to play, but I sneak in a short session when I can.
I told myself from the start that I wouldn't look up any information, just let the game take me where it goes, and I've had a blast. Even times when it's been an absolute bitch running back to collect my gear after getting stomped on.
Makes me wonder if it would be a good idea to take down my "Hate has no home here" flag, that is prominently displayed in my yard.
We live in a very diverse neighborhood, and I'm happy to have this flag up. But I don't need any billy-jackoffs coming around causing a fuss, or worse.
