Pre-release sentiment

The response is mostly positive, with plenty of mixed feelings. People seem drawn to the Trevor and Rose pairing, the burning Paris setup, and the whip action, and the gameplay, graphics, and story are landing well in the footage. The big worries are performance and difficulty, with Switch and PC getting skeptical chatter, and some voices are not sold on Evil Empire or Konami's handling. The demo has helped, but since the game isn't out yet, people are waiting to see if the real thing holds up.
