This is a great game and is more realistic than your average pvp FPS. The game consists of capture the point, destroy objective, and defend a point. It has classes from commander who calls in air strikes, observer, rifleman, heavy gunner, sniper, demo, and special weapons.

Things that make this game more realistic than average:
1. Reloading a mag with bullets, you lose those bullets on quick reload.
2. After running, you will experience heavier recoil due to heavier breathing.
3. There no crosshair unless you equip a scope. You can equip a laser for easier hip-fire but that gives away your position.
4. Hip firing follows the barrel of the gun and does NOT shoot automatically at the center of the screen.

I logged 1k hours in kf2. How did i find out about this just now?

This is really short, but it is worth a watch. It's always nice seeing video games come to life as long as it's done right. It's cool seeing a film imitate first person shooter perspective. Doom the movie was only mediocre at it, but this film captures it nicely.

This is a great game. Although it still is a far cry game, I feel it is different enough from Far Cry 3. If you're like me who skipped Far Cry 4, because it's more of the same, I highly suggest FC5. It's definitely a good one.

The coop has a huge drawback. It is only two player. My friend and his wife beat the game together. Then 2 of my other friends are playing together. Where does that leave me?? ME myself and I, the story of my life! Why God??? Why you do dis to me?

Ps. Make sure to recruit Hurk Drubman Jr for a partner. The guy has hilarious lines:
"I'll go from A to B, but not necessarily in that order."
"I'll pay you gas money, later. Step on it!"
"Oh, hey a bad guy."

Really great underrated free roam tps "tactical" shooter. You die easily in this game and cannot run straight into enemy territory. There's a ton of upgrades in stealth, player health, vehicle health, weapon types, silences, weapon stability, every type of grenade such as smoke or flash, drones. Each zone is rated based on their difficulty from 1 skull to 5 skulls. After upgrading everything, the 5 skull areas can still be challenging.

Tales of Berseria is one the best games I've ever played. Of the long list of jrpgs I've played since the snes era, it's got to be top 5. This game doesn't have the tired and cliche, "good guy defeats bad guy and saves the world" story. The main character is actually an anti-hero. We see her start as a normal lovely young lady, and due to a tradegy and years of suffering she transforms. She is now hardened and her heart is filled with pure rage and vengence. However, the story goes on and a much deeper theme develops. I don't want to spoil anything because it's just awesome what happens, but know that all the character development is very believable. When it comes to emotions, what the characters feel happens in real life. That's one of the things that I believe makes this story so great.

The gameplay is SUUPPER complicated, but it's mostly not needed in normal mode. I probably used 5% of the possible strats and got through the game just fine. It especially got a lot easier after I figured out a specific combo (there are a ton of possible combos that you can configure) that has a high chance of gaining guage for a special move called hidden arte. During hidden arte, you gain damage reduction, "stamina", and guage toward yet another special move called mystic arts. Because the hidden arte guage was constantly filling up, i was able to spam hidden artes, allowing for very high chaining combos, never ending "stamina", and relatively fast mystic art charge. I found the combo about 60% through the game and just spammed that same combo over and over. You could be more strategic and use different combos according to enemy weakness, but that likely will only be needed for higher difficulties. The mechanics are so complicated that tutorials still pop up 40% into the game.

I would say the only glaring con is that I wished there were more cutscenes of the antogists. Mostly they are described through dialogue when I prefer visual depictions.

This game is a must for any jrpg fan. I would also say this is the best "Tales of" game. 10/10

I just can't play this game. I'm really bad with directions, and this game doesn't let you set waypoints. I am constantly opening the map to look where to go. It also doesn't have fast travel! With a ton of backtracking, you'd think Spider would implement it. Rookie mistake. I'm sure the story would have been good, but I cannot stand these quality of life issues.

This game is amazing. The characters are everything you'd imagine a real gangster/mobster would be. The main characters, Kiryu and Majima are very memorable and I look forward to playing the other Yakuza games as this is the only one I've played so far. The story is really good and could easily have made a good movie. There are many story arcs that are intertwined. Since this is Yakuza 0, this installment probably tells Kiryu's and Majima's origin stories. The two characters start from humble beginnings and as the story develops their badassary grows a 100 fold. One scene even gave me chills as one of the bosses in the game finally acknowledges Kiryu as a true Yakuza.

This game does have some flaws, but they are forgivable because of how good the story is. The gameplay itself is fun for the most part. However, it is really easy because you can hold as many as 25 healing items which makes everything a joke. I barely had to upgrade my characters past their tier 1 upgrades. It would have been better if the game didn't let you carry healing items which would force the player to be more careful as opposed to just button mashing. The last chapter of the game gets harder but its more of a cheap difficulty than anything. Enemies are mostly restricted to fists or melee weapons, but in the last chapter some enemies carry firearms. When shot it creates a horrible stun, where you're knocked down on the floor for a good 5 seconds. Then when you try to run and beat the guys with fire arm, the rest of the enemies stun lock you only for you to be shot and downed again. However, this fustration doesn't last long and is only included in some segments in the last chapter. There are also lots of side quests and a good variety of mini-games that can provide some entertainment. However, I found the most fun in the main story.

If you love authentic gangster/mob stories, then this is a no brainer! Get the game!!

This game is the greatest game of all time, the greatest at being overrated that is. This game is not a bad game but its barely above average. Only good part is half-life 2 episode 2. Go ahead and tell me how much of a worthless human being I am. I'm ready. Fight me. (ง •̀_•́)ง

I had fun playing this game. It was my first VR game naturally, since I was a crazy Killing floor 1/2 fanatic. I'm not sure why this game has such mixed reviews. There are so many complaints about this game, but I guess because people are expecting it to be exactly killing killing floor 2 but in VR. I'm sure Tripwire had its reasons for not making a complete VR replica. On its own, its a fun game and weapons include: basic knife, pistol, dual pistol, axe, shotgun, and rifle. The clots are pretty satisfying to headshot. There's gorefast, scrakes, stalkers, fleshpounds, crawlers and husks. There's a segment where a bunch of husks show up and you'll have to use a sniper rifle to get them and dodge their fireballs. It was pretty exciting. It is however quite awkward fighting scrakes and fleshpounds, since you can't strafe. I would say that is one thing that doesn't translate well in VR.

Samurai Warriors Spirit of Sanada tells an epic story spanning three generations of the Sanada Clan depicting their successes and losses. For the majority of the story, it follows a father, the leader of the Sanada Clan, and his two sons. I cannot describe how awesome these characters are. They are full of honor, spirit, conviction, and esteem. There are also great side characters part of the Sanada clan or in partnership. There is much character development in this game. There’s one side character that sees the spotlight for good portions of the game. I really didn’t like this character and dreaded those portions. That is until he receives a major character development later on, that had me come to absolutely love the character. The music is epic and appropriately reflects the massive battlefield and swarms of enemies of epic proportions.

Some cons of the game are the lack of English voiceovers. I don’t mind at all reading subtitles, and hearing Japanese does make it feel more authentic. However, this is problematic as there is a lot of talking during battles. You’re fighting swarms and swarms of enemies and enemy officers galore. There’s no way you can do all that and read subtitles at the same time. The chatter going on includes story and what is going on in the battlefield. Another con is about half way through the story, the Sanada clan teams up with another clan. Most of the members of this clan I found very dry and lacking in charisma and conviction the Sanada clan so greatly portrays.

This is essentially Dynasty/Samurai Warriors game with less of the bells and whistles. It doesn’t have as many modes and playable characters. It, however, offers a particular focus on story. The gameplay is still fun offering a rage and musou system as well as various upgrades to gear and items.

For those unfamiliar with Dynasty/Samurai Warrior games (you living under a rock?), these games are essentially hack and slash, but what makes these games different is the mass amounts of enemies on screen. In each battle it is not uncommon to kill as many as 1000 enemies. Each mission occurs on a large battlefield where you’ll have many mini-missions to complete such as escorting an ally, killing enemy officers, and preventing enemy officers from infiltrating your base.

Tl;dr
If you’re a sucker for badass Samurais, hack and slashing 1000’s of enemies, and a good story, get this game!!
