Dark Souls 2 didn't punish you for not being a friendless loser by making cooperation with a friend possible, something that the other games have a pointlessly **** attitude. It also reduced the amount of invasions in a first playthrough, which also helped to make cooperation possible as well as getting through an area and a boss in your first try instead of being interrupted by idiots. Far more content with less repetition overall than Dark Souls, the only issue with Dark Souls 2 is that the story is a blatant repeat of Dark Souls. There are more viable weapons, secret areas you won't discover on your first playthrough, changes between New Game and New Game + (Although they could've done much, much better). This is probably the best the Souls series will ever get, but it suffered from being a Souls game. Many people complained that it wasn't as Dark Souls even though it was better, and I think it's fairly obvious that we were just all getting bored of this formula getting churned out by From Software. Still I played this for a good 200 hours, while Bloodborne only deserved a single playthrough that I almost quit out of, and the DaSo 3 test revealed that it's just a **** rehash most people ran through to see the crappy scripted boss. The magic is definitely gone from the series now that it's Call of DarkOps: Infinite Rehash, but this was the last and best effort.

I liked it, but this is easily worst Souls game. More than half of the bosses are pathetic gimmicks, magic isn't an interesting alternative because it ruins the game, only a few weapons worth using and some that destroy any challenge the game posed, a childish and generic fantasy story and setting. Worst of all, the idiotic invasion mechanics that force you to let other people hijack your game and connection to grief you. I joined the game late, so I was harassed constantly by cookie-cutter pvp builds until I turned off the internet connection. I played Ultima Online, Darkfall, DayZ, but I just don't feel that the PvP fits into the game's design. Poorly designed and okay-ishly executed, the main reason this game succeeded was hype and exclusivity to the PS3.

Some decent new areas to explore with a couple of interesting new bosses (Lady Maria) which can of course be completely ruined with the poorly designed parry mechanics, and a couple of irritating bosses(The last boss is literally an average undead human that swings around a weapon like an idiot). New weapons that are mostly useless and uninteresting, a new spell that is of course beyond useless for virtually anything. Rehash content everywhere, reskinned dark souls enemies once again, stupid fish-men lovecraft memes, reskinned cleric beast fight but with flames and lava. As usual in the horrid souls series, you'll find yourself running past all of this "amazing" content pretty quickly. Taking away a point from 7, for being exclusive to a platform that forces you to pay Sony to use your own internet connection.

The only reason to play an adventure game is for story, if you're an adult, have read books, have played games considered the best in setting and story, this will seem like an inept teen tale. Because it is. Since I didn't like the story, there was nothing left for me and I quit out. I won't bother to mention the technical difficulties because obviously the children who like it are willing to put up with it, and I won't play a bad game even if it's designed well everywhere else. Negative points for being episodic.

This is just a good experience, there are some minor irritations like being forced to grind for hours to get the bad ending, and if you aren't aware you can ruin the only two endings worth getting (because they're the only ones with original content) and experience one of the mediocre ones. There's a real sense of delight in most of the writing, with the rest being hit or miss kind of gags that you don't want to see again (and if you do your endings right you won't have to). It has fun gameplay, but the game itself is fairly short with few monsters so that you don't get bored of it. You should definitely try it.

This is an awful letdown, kept alive in reviews by one of those sonic-tier fanbases dedicated to tirelessly trolling by reporting reviews for honesty and upvoting reviews for blatant lies. It's as incoherent and poorly written as usual, but no longer has the humor that justified garbage dialogue. The gameplay is an improvement over earlier MGS titles, but the campaign is idiotically designed. Virtually every feature outside of sneaking and shooting is an absolute waste. The best part about this game, is they fired the **** who took credit for ruining it.

I enjoyed it for mainly the reason I enjoyed Skyrim, I like the atmosphere and exploration. You have to prepare for cliche, rushed storylines with post-morrowind Bethesda and this was no different, however my main concern is the severe lack of content. In a single mission with the Brotherhood, you go from a stranger to a Knight with the full trust of their **** leader Maxson. The Atom Cats Garage, a funny 50s hipster power armor garage, has only a single mission before the characters become dull vendors. The Railroad and Minutemen questlines feature blatant repetition of previous content, and the new base-building is meaningless and not related to the plot at all. Enemies spawn in the same location quite often, leading to the feeling of repetition and of accomplishing nothing. Still worth playing I think, but you might not like it depending on how critical you are.

It's a Warhammer game, so deduct 4 points from every review by a positive Warhammer fan to get accurate results. It's like Left 4 Dead, but with an awful campaign, horrible matchmaking, depopulated servers, poorer gameplay. I played L4D for hundreds of hours, I played this for about 14 and uninstalled.

Pros - Destroying elements of the map feels fresh and entertaining, unlocking operators extends the games playability. Cons - In the past three weeks of release and beta, I've heard one person over 25. The rest are your typical obnoxious 13-19 human garbage straight out of Dota 2. 5v5 - console limitations or irritating e-sports **** you decide, provides no flexibility in game experience. Loading -> The matches are short and every match has a loading period before and after, as well as a one minute setup phase that gets old very quickly. Latency is extremely high, I frequently cannot edge around corners and shoot someone reliably because I don't receive a server packet until i've already been shot. A short lived multiplayer game, priced way beyond it's worth, with your typical competitive **** community. I wouldn't recommend it.
