This is a very mid game. It is a poorly optimized, generic souls lite type of thing. If you're not some rabid chinese netizen whose entire national identity seems to be tied up in this game's success, just wait for a sale. It's not at all a need-to-play, in the same vein as that other generic souls lite one that came out of china a few years back.

It starts out so good. I loved Jackie and V's bromance, and the mission in Arasaka tower. As the story progresses though, there is a clear drop in quality control. Some side mission quest lines are playable without problems, while others aren't. There is also a massive problem with how your character picks things up, does stealth kills, or uses a computer. The game has trouble knowing what you're aiming at when you are up close to multiple options. If there is a piece of garbage beside a valuable weapon, sometimes looking at the weapon from any angle will leave you with no other option than to pick up the garbage first. This is problematic in stealth, as picking up garbage instead of initiating a stealth takedown on your target is frequently interrupted by your character picking up a bottle of fizzy water, or logging into a terminal. This is especially problematic since this game has bad auto saves. This problem is not tied to key binding, and there is no way in the game to cycle between options in these cases. There are many problems with this game that entirely stem from their release of a half-baked product. It would take months of work for CDPR to fix everything. Underneath all of the **** though, there is a very good game, as is evident in the polished beginning missions.

Broken matchmaking and unplayable keyboard and mouse controls make this impossible to recommend - at least until the matchmaking is fixed. I share the other reviewers' incredulity at Capcom's inability to successfully implement matchmaking in the pc port of this game, because the game prefers to put you in online sessions when you start it so you can matchmake easier - it almost always fails to get you into a multiplayer session, wasting your time trying to connect for a minute until it ultimately gives you an error code and puts you in an offline lobby, which you can't choose to enter until you fail to connect to a multiplayer session. Pass on this until there's news that capcom fixed the matchmaking.

The way a story is told is an important element of the overall experience of any story-based medium. This game harasses you when you are trying to explore the open world, with unskippable cutscenes, and the open world is so full of enemies, every vehicle you drive by is an enemy that will instantly recognize you, and then chase you to the end of the earth, meaning you will be in a motorized gun fight any time you decide to go anywhere. The story may not be bad, but the way in which it is told is not enjoyable. It tries to force fun on the player instead of letting the player find what is fun about the game. There are a few side activities to choose from, but none of them are well crafted - I didn't bother to try the fishing because I'm not paid to review games, and fishing doesn't interest me - but the side activities I tried - racing, hunting, and side quests - went from mildly interesting to repetitive after just a couple of tries. If you are not a fan of repetitive gameplay, or far cry 4, I don't recommend this - and even if you are, it's not like it's so different, or that the story is so compelling that you should buy it. Wait till it's in the bargain bin, when the community will have finished creating decent multiplayer maps - since the devs didn't make a single multiplayer map - and then buy it.

something like 50 hours of gameplay culminated in this one moment for me: I was flying my anaconda - one of the most expensive ships in the game - and I was leaving a hostile space station. As I was leaving, I flew too close to another ship and got a ticket that I wouldn't even have to pay it mattered so little. On receiving the ticket, the space station and about a half dozen system security ships all converged on me and destroyed in an instant. The ship cost millions of credits to rebuy, and I feel I lost it unfairly; but that's not all! At the rebuy screen, the game crashed. I lost my ship for good, and hundreds of millions of credits with it. I've since deleted this game, and I would only recommend it to the most deeply masochistic people.

The matchmaking is broken: pvp takes ages to connect, and it's never with anyone near your level. The targeting system is completely broken: you literally have no control over who you target, and the game stays locked on to one target even if you're fighting a group, so you have to fight the group while always facing the target you're locked on to. It seems like that would be easy to fix, but nope. Stay away from this.

I can't give this game a higher score because it is online only, and the multiplayer essentially does not work a lot of the time due to Peer to Peer connection. I disconnect almost as often as I complete a match, which I wish was a hyperbolic statement. When I do disconnect, I don't get anything for the match I was in, which makes progression frustrating, especially since microtransactions are the alternative option: this makes the frequency of the disconnections I've experienced that much more irritating.

The campaign is incredibly linear for how much effort the developers put into creating a sense of immersion. It's so over-produced for an experience that will last most people ten or so hours, unless you like the freeing experience of unlockable difficulty settings. Zombies. Enough said about that. Multiplayer is a reskin of Black ops 3. Go buy Titan Fall if multiplayer is your thing; and even if it isn't, Titan fall feels like the better game all around.

I'll probably get some hate from people who idealize this game, but it is by no means perfect. I'm really enjoying some aspects of this game - my review is focused on the multiplayer since I have no interest in the campaigns. It feels fresh, the weapons are generally balanced, the maps all look great, flying planes and driving vehicles is fun - I could not stop laughing as I rolled a heavy tank full of people down a mountainside without taking any damage on one map. That said, what is up with horses? Why can't you use regular weapons on them? Why is the trample detection so janky? I ran over a guy laying in front of me three times in a row with my horse and he just shot me off, which made me feel like a total idiot. Also, why did DICE make the rear facing machine guns on planes so powerful? Those machine guns do so much more damage than the actual machine guns on the fighter planes that it is nearly impossible to destroy a plane you're chasing if that plane has even a decent gunner on board. Why do you have to unlock pistols for every class, and why do different classes have different pistols? They're just pistols. Let me get a decent pistol for the scout class; the class is already bad enough for close quarters combat. The final scout rifle you unlock is a joke; it's no more powerful than the ones you unlock at level 1, though it shoots one bullet before you have to reload. Anti air guns, even if they don't hit your plane cause it to bounce around as if it is entering a sharknado. I'm sure I could go on, but as I've indicated, the game is not perfect; and some of the 'balancing' Dice has done since the beta (the light tank, it shoots so incredibly slow and is so much weaker now that I personally find it nearly useless) has actually made certain features that were overpowered so underpowered that they've become useless.

This game is incredibly boring. The gameplay is clunky and the upgrade system requires a lot of attention, so a lot of time is spent sending characters you've never met on missions you can't play to get stuff you won't use for anything except upgrading your loadout. The gameplay itself is just a mixture between a bad shooter and a conceptually boring rpg. On top of that, it's very story oriented, and I really do not have any interest in the story. I'm not interested in discovering who some character is after a hundred hours of them not talking, or in the characters that you know are from one of the earlier games based on the number of limbs they have left. The story is, as someone else reviewing this game described it, ridiculous. It's just so bad. 2015 must have been a bad year for games for this to have the ratings it has.

If you hate playing video games and love looking at derivative, glitchy, buggy, crashy, repetitive, humdrum, easy, dangerously boring landscapes, this game is terrific. It's full of that stuff. This game is also not "Chill", as some people describe it. You don't get much time to look at stuff and drift lazily through space since survival is a major aspect of this game - in the sense that it annoys you even when you're in absolutely no danger, inducing constant, unnecessary anxiety until the exact moment that you realize that there isn't anything dangerous in this game, which is coincidentally when it becomes boring. Space pirates in this game are not dangerous, unless you don't understand how the auto-aim system in this game works - which is apparently the case for a lot of people. That said, a lack of understanding of gameplay mechanics does not make a game fun, or difficult. It just makes you bad at the game. P.S. Clearly there are a lot of people who don't like the game, and clearly their input is also considered helpful since most of the 'most helpful reviews' accurately describe the depths of woe you will discover in sony's most advertised release of this year. Just please don't buy the digital version of this game like I did, or else you'll have to contemplate the meaning of your existence after willingly spending $90 canadian on this. P.P.S. I do really like the soundtrack, even if it is minced and thrown into your face throughout the game. In my mostly unrelated to this review opinion about the soundtrack, which isn't really a part of this game (unless you count recombinations of the same sounds as a soundtrack), it sounds more like the game that was advertised than the game itself.

This game has terrible controls which you can't customize, and quite possible the worst matchmaking system I've seen. It's impossible to finish setups for heists because nobody gets anything for those missions, and finding players who won't cause you to fail heist missions is so rare that it makes heists a waste of time. You either need four friends to play online, or you're better stick to story mode. The story mode is one of the only redeeming qualities of this game, and that requires you to overcome controls that will likely give you tendonitis by the time you're used to them.

I agree with the reviewers whose scores are based on the performance of the expansion. It's hard to progress in the new survival mode when the game freezes or crashes as often as it does in Far Harbour, and I've experienced a few glitches with getting stuck in the environment, and with basic gun functionality (the animation for the lever-action rifle, what's up with that?) that show that this expansion is not of the quality one might expect from a Fallout expansion, or from the price range.

The multiplayer is broken. You may regularly find yourself killed at the entrances to the multiplayer area by packs of pre-pubescent gamers. The multiplayer is broken because there is no way to actually play in the multiplayer when it is blocked off by high levelled players, or players whose characters are specialized in player killing and somehow do five times as much damage as you because the classes (Tech, Security, Medical) are completely imbalanced.

This game literally should be called Fallout 4: And Expansions, because you have to pay for two games to experience the full amount of content. I appreciate that Bethesda needs to make as much money off of the game as they can, but I actually don't, and I think the amount of DLC, and the amount being asked for it is ridiculous. The DLC, which should generally have been in the game to begin with, is not worth as much as a full separate game.

This game is incredible. The combat, the gear, the crafting, and the quests are all some of the best I have seen this generation, and the amount of content in the game means that if you like it, it will have plenty of replay value.

It doesn't feel like a review for this game is necessary since you would clearly have to have no common sense to invest your money in it, but my experience with the game was that the offline mode was impossible after a relatively low difficulty setting, so it is senseless to play after a certain point, and the multiplayer is so imbalanced it will give you bipolar disorder.

This game is entirely about diving at the right times to avoid your opponent’s auto-targeting, or avoiding colossal monsters’ attacks, which penetrate walls somehow. While it has its moments, between incredible settings, and epic boss fights, the combat in general is busted. There is no other way to explain the insane precision of the regular A.I, who can pivot a hundred and eighty degrees in a fraction of a second while still attacking you somehow. In boss fight, or fights against larger monsters especially, and in fights with monsters in general, you will certainly die more than once being struck through a wall. You'll also die falling off of ledges because your character has to leap forward to attack, and half of the fights take place on some tight rope a half-mile above the earth for some reason. Enjoy playing the same 100 meter stretch of gameplay for a whole day, dying in inexplicable ways, and holding in your tears of shame and rage while trying to justify having spent $90 on a rage-induced brain tumour.
