Oh yeah, I know it's a bit cruel buying gore DLC, but at $3 its not allot to ask. And owners of Warhammer I which owned the original gore DLC got this one for free anyway.

But $3 is worth what you get out of this DLC, it straight up changes all of how combat plays out visually. Your monsters will be dripping in your enemies blood and you'll see a massacare unfold in the battles.

An awesome addition to the Dungeon Keeper genre, pays tribute to all the retro Dungeon Keeper games and even the newer ones this game was up against. Even goes out to pay tribute to other similar games such as Evil Genuises.

This is a must have game for anyone into the Dungeon Keeper genre.

Man this game expands on Shadow of Mordor in every single respect possible. The Nemises System has been improved 10 fold, and the depth of orcs and the interactions between them is astonishing.

The micro-transactions have absolutley zero affect on the game itself, they do not hinder you, and you absolutley never need to buy anything in any capacity. You progress through the game at a satisfying rate, I do not support micro-transactions in anyway. I do not care that the developers went to the effort to put microtransactions in the game, to me it was a waste of resources because its something I'll never use in my time playing this game.

But their is no way I would let this amazing sequel's score suffer because of microtransctions that dont take away from the game in anyway.

Oh and what about this one: I've seen some people hating the multiplayer component, where people can attack your bases (even tho you don't lose anything really unless you opt into the ranked system instead of the casual system), this isn't even the first game to do it, MSG: V anyone?

By far the best Total War game to date, this is not only the single best entry for new players without a doubt with the best tutorial system in any Total War game to date while being deeper technically and mechanically than any Total War game before it.

The graphics are absolute top notch, and I can't help but talk about the stunning animations. You won't admire the animations in this game enough until you get your army of epic monsterious units pitted against an opponents monsters, watching a Hell Pit Abomination body slam a Dark Elf Dragon never gets old, and these interactions exist between all monsterous units.

This game doesn't expand a whole lot on the Battle scene from Warhammer I but I believe it's because that Creative Assembly knew they didn't have to, in my opinion Warhammer I & II have the best army controls of any Total War game out; sure some miss the good old preset formations but many Warhammer fans already know that it was replaced with a far more superiour formation grouping system, no more preset formations, you design your formations by hand in the midst of battle and damn does it work well.

This game is something else, and expands on Warhammer I in every single respect. With the already extensive modding scene and the colossal map I can't help but tell Total War fans to go straight to Warhammer II

And my friends told me I was a nerd for liking geometry and how it'll never help me in life, yet here I am.

Ah it's pretty fun, I've been playing for a little bit now. Just got the game yesterday.

Oh.

An awesome DLC which overhauls mines, mine dectection and mine disposal in a really cool way. Not to forget Cluster bombs!

Of all the DLC's this, Apex, Jets and Helicopters are a must have for anyone into Arma 3.

My experience with Absolver.. (As an Australian)

> Day one
No online, at all.
No Australian servers.
Playthrough the entire game in 6 hours offline.

> Day two
Online, servers are working.
Get into a game, 250ms ping.
Only 1 in 2 games will load.
Game crashes when leaving practice zone.
Game crashes when matchmaking.

> Day three
Get into some reasonable games with <150 ping.
Everybody is using never-ending spam combos.
Can't parry properly because of lag.
Stuck in conors doomed to die.

Good experience overall 8/10.

Never played the multiplayer or the marine campaign, but by lord the Predator campaign in this game is amazing. Makes me wish for a stand-alone Predator game.

However the Alien campaign is worth praise too, nowhere as cool as the Predator campaign but very fun, albeit can get repetative sometimes. But you seriously feel like a hunter and that's a hard feeling for games to emulate.

This game needs some more appreciation, it's by far the best and most stable sandbox game i've ever experienced and actually requires engineering logic, unlike other games where most things are handed to you this game requires you to invent and develop your own systems. Other games might give you a gryoscope but this game will have you make your own gyroscope for your own flying submarine, which I think is exactly what I want from my sandbox game.
