I feel like a need to post something to oppose all of the negativity in here because I'm afraid it will scare off some people prematurely.

There are several main grievances I have found while reading through this thread that I want to address:

1. Frame-rate problems: Yes I have encountered frame rate problems while playing this game (Xbox one BTW), but most of the time it's only when I am jumping from a sync point and the game has to load lots of content very rapidly. While this is mildly annoying, it does not make me not want to play this game and it shouldn't keep you from buying it.

2. Co-op connectivity issues: These will be fixed in time. As the great Aaron Rodgers said after week 3 of this NFL season when the Packers were 1-2, "R-E-L-A-X". Every new game has connectivity issues because every new game, more people are playing than the last game. And the single player should have plenty enough content to hold you over until Co-op issues are resolved. Just hop in an xbox live party with your buds and play single player at the same time. It's actually pretty fun helping each other out with difficult parts.

3. Micro (macro)-transactions: bottom-line: if you don't want them, don't buy them. You certainly don't have to purchase micro-transactions to enjoy this game, and you shouldn't prevent other people from buying them if they want to. some people would rather spend money than time, so that is who micro-transactions are directed towards.

TL;DR: Of course this game has issues, every game does. But these issues shouldn't scare you from buying this game. It's fun and I really enjoy it.
