I'm sorry but it's frustrating when people came here with valid criticism and you lot respond like this. Yes of course you can "play" the game. Can you play it and fully enjoy it as you expected to when you bought it? Assuming by this topic and by the opinions on other placed I've read comments, no. And it doesn't matter if "hundreds of thousands" are playing it. For some people the game as it is is not playable. I am one of them. The person you responded to is another. There are way more.
It's a frustrating game. I play it to relax. The few hours I played 24 I spent more time frustrated than enjoying it and it got to the point I just stopped. In 20 years I play this game this has never happened to me.
