Looking forward to installing it this weekend...

You sound surprise.  I had no doubt it would hit number one.  A great franchise done by a great company who cares about their customers, of course you'd get something that would hit the top.

Congrats Brad to you and your team!  I was able to play for 3hrs last night and had a great time. Ill be honest I was nervous if it would live up to the hype but you guys pulled through and made it happen.

Thank you.

Congrats. I bought it as well today. Just finished my first gameplay session.

BTW, maybe its just me, and maybe if i forced myself to update graphics drivers it would help, but the game runs quite sluggish on my system - which is not exactly too shabby. Granted, its at full details, 4x AA and 3840x1600 (ultrawide) resolution, but the game does not exactly looks like Battlefield (even though it has definitely very nice art style) - to justify framerate dips under 30 FPS while driving around planetary surfaces or having 40 FPS in those conversation screens...

Just wanted to point this out, perhaps you might want to look into some performance optimizations, now the game has been released.
