played one game, now I cant play anymore b/c 'matchmaking error'. Awesome

Game of the Year. Fresh of breath air in a genre that's rare today. Halfway done with NG+ and i'm still addicted.

Terrible Devs, they don't care about the quality of the game. Becoming more and more greedy.

microtransactions, poor performance for mediocre graphics, zero reason to play. Embodiment of HOW DO YOU DO FELLOW KIDS?! but microsoft trying to make an easy buck of nostalgia.

Performance is poor, seems like a reskin of DS3. Combat is still the exact same.

I want to love this game so much, but performance is so bad. Riddled with balancing issues and bugs. Specialists whether you like them or not add a twist to the series and I welcome them with open arms, but the game suffers so much from mentioned issues that it takes away from the experience.

Also specialist quips are F*CKING annoying

Bland, gameplay gets boring quickly, gunplay is average, story no existent.

Amazing gameplay, if you've been looking for a fast paced mecha game, killer soundtrack rivaling the AC series, and fun customization this is the game. For the first three hours i've invested into this game, the plot is rather interesting and you will ask a lot of the questions, but will keep you looking forward to the next character to character cutscenes. The big issue though is the whole posse of characters (some more important than others) that will engulf you, it can get overwhelming at times as you wonder who's in cahoots with who, but eventually if you have an avg. IQ you will put the pieces together. OVERALL though easily 9/10 game so far, been waiting for a game like this for a while.

This game would be great if Daybreak and the rest of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clowns that designed this game put their time into fixing the bugs in this game/ the connectivity issue, instead of simple crates. My ping on games such as CSGO (5-15 ping on good days and 50 on bad), Dota 2, BF1, is completely normal and very playable, but this game takes a dump on that whole ordeal and shoves it into their ♥♥♥♥ connection that runs off a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hamster powered potato.

I love XCOM, they put a lot of customization options into this, but there are just too many bugs at the moment for me to give the THUMBS UP. Only investing a couple of hours into the game I can say this....

Pros:
-Customization, gives more attachment to your soliders due to the fact that they are personalized, put so much thought into creating their biographies
-Modding Community adds even more fun
-Interesting story (So Far)
-New enemy variants


CONS:
-Bugs out the wazoo; Currently reinstalling the game due to a bug error stating how I can't load my saved game because I am missing mod content even though everything was fine. That bug turned into the game not even starting up and crashing my computer.
-Needs to be optimized; frame loss like some SH*T
-No Space Jam ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

UPDATE: MORE BUGS FOUND
-When waiting for soliders to recover, the days I have to wait now go into the negative numbers so they are stuck in a recovering limbo YEAAAAAA
