Story : If you want to know how this relates to Automata.. so many youtube videos and reddits that explain it. But the story depth is quite amazing. Replicant takes the player for an adventure that is not your normal fare.

Gameplay : My only complaint is I hate the junkyard Heap levels.. so repetitive and monotonous.

Music : Soundtrack I would rate as very good, but not near as good as Automata.

Characters : The characters are fun and they all are very interesting. I honestly wish they talked more though, for most part they make comments at certain key points, but rest time not so much. Also.. Kainé's movements are really hit and miss with mostly miss lol.. She goes off and does her own thing however most times she barely keeps up. But is what it is. great game! For what your cohorts lack in language skills though, Grimoire Weiss makes up for it, the game would not be half as entertaining without him in it.

This is an excellent game that offering a very unique game play system. Sooo many alternative endings, and even when you think its over.. think again. The soundtrack though is probably my favorite. Very few times do I actually go and seek out the soundtrack for a game and listen on my own time in my car or on break. But it really is that good.

Excellent game. They really sent the series off with a bang. I have to say it hit a few bumps to get where it is now.. But with all of that in the past, this is an EXCELLENT game. I easily put in 91 hours.

Ive not yet played the addon character storylines, so I have more to look forward to, but as far as the main campaign story line goes.. this is a definite keeper.A game I would easily suggest to friends.

WOW

There is not a lot of love for Unity. I will admit it does indeed have many drawbacks, many small IMO.
The Bad :
1.Arno apparently cant whistle. The game tries to say.. use cherry bombs to lure targets.... It even has optional goals to accomplish.. like " lure with cherry bomb" The problem ... is you CANT LURE with a cherry bomb, I sat to side of door ways and threw them in front of their feet, at my feet, and even at their face. They just shake it off. The only way to get them to you is to show yourself and hide real quick.
2. When I assassinate someone I expect Arno to assasinate them.. NOT POUNCE many times I saw "assassinate" as option I clicked X on my pad only to have him pouce the person and let them get a scream off.

The Good :

1. I miss crafting, especially when I want to carry more items, but I also like to have a reason to do things in the game. In Rogue I got all the money I needed from investments that I felt no need or want to do more chest hunting, collectable finding" I like to have a reason to need money. So Its nice to be able to customize your chracter with the many different outfits. Each bringing its own thing to the table, and even making it intersting to replay levels.
2. THe visuals are AMAZING, If you have the PC to handle this game then its very enjoyable, the sheer amount of NPC characters walking around is jawdropping.

In the end this was a welcome change to the Ship sailing/ pirating that has taken 3 games up. It really felt like I was playing as Ezio again. I never experienced this game with its problems on first release, but with its latest patch Ive nver had ONE crash .

In another note ( SPOILER?) I enjoyed the time jumps that the character experienced throughout the game. I actually wouldnt mind if we had a AC game where that sort of thing happened and we spent more times in those different places.

An excellent game. I honestly cant recall why I purchased this game and got it to begin with. I believe I was on an adventure storyline games high and this was highly rated. The characters are very well rounded, and even though the 3d characters are VERY dated in appearance, you easily get past that after playing and getting pulled into the story. The best friend you can have when playing this game is to set in options the use of "ESC" key to speed things along. Sometimes it can take April a long time to walk to places, and though the dialogue is interesting... some of the characters can be quiet long winded. So read ahead of them and use ESC if that bothers you. Play the game, once you get past the first chapter you will be hooked. Point, click and inspect everything, sooner or later you will use everything in your posession.

I really enjoyed Bioshock Infinite. I wont give any spoilers, but I will say.. it really made me sad about playing Bioshock. Anyhow the game is great. The story is phenomenal. I didnt know what was going to happen next. The scenary is classic Bioshock, I looked at this before playing and thought.. this is to bright and happy to be as good as the original BIoshock. I can easily say Bioshock Infinite has better replayability to me than Bioshock 1 or 2. The plasmids are great to deal with and combing them with other plasmids, weapons or just environment is great fun. I easily got over 30 hours of gameplay from this wonderful game. And the DLC can not be missed "Burial at Sea" DO NOT PLAY the DLC if you have not played the original BIoshock. I told a friend you could technically play Infinite if you hadnt played the original. You would just get a little lost at some things that are " oh yeah" moments.

I was very pleased with this game. The character Nillin was very fun to play, and it kept me guessing where this was going. The boss battles were exciting, but challenging. The controls of this game cant be either control pad, or keyboard and mouse. I played through with the latter and really had no trouble. The game mechanics allow you to unlock combos with kicks and punches. Using my mouse I used left mouse for punch and right for kick. Remembering those two buttons and getting a feel for a method to accomplish a combo is all you need to be unstoppable in the game. I played through on regular but more than half way through I started getting aggrivated by some levels and had to go to "Script kiddie" ... yeah.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is not your average COD or even Battlefield game. It features a really fun story and really fun characters who you enjoy having around. The series has all the excitement of a movie thriller. Ive not played this game in a while now, but I still have fond memories of the story and characters. Ive never had a console, so I was never able to play the 1st Bad Company. But I am always searching for Bad Company 3 to be announced... in time.. in time.

This is a very interesting game that I thought had a really good story too. I wont spoil it for you but you best be on your toes with this one. You will learn to fear the dark, and when your flashlight goes out.... fear the shadows. This game was really tough.
