Good game with relatively good balance; it feels like a mix between Call of Duty and Team Fortress 2. Worst thing in my opinion is probably the credit rate, though getting credits isn't too bad if you focus on completing your missions.

Some people may consider Dirty Bomb to be pay to win because of the loadout system, but this isn't the case. I'm not going to deny that it is heavily RNG based, either. The loadout system is split into tiers, starting off at lead, then iron, then bronze. It does go higher, but anything above bronze is simply cosmetic, therefore the best tier is technically bronze. If you find that you aren't getting the loadout of your choice from crates, you can directly purchase a bronze loadout of your choice for 17.5k credits. You can't buy anything with real money that you can't get with in-game credits, which is the definition of pay to win. It is not pay to win. Pay for convenience, perhaps.


PHANTOM HAS BEEN NERFED, REJOICE!

This early access game might actually see the light of release. Lots of things to do, but bring friends and prepare to suffer from performance issues.

If you love the Alien franchise then buy this game!

Just one more game... Just one more game... Just... One... More...

Please forgive me father, God, for I have sinned

Chaser is like that one guy everyone avoids that is actually pretty cool once you get to know him. Can't say much other than the fact that this is a great old school shooter with a decent story and fantastic music. Wish I knew about it sooner.

what the ♥♥♥♥ why is this on my games list?

It is an absolute and utter waste of money. I don't need to say more than that.

I regret every single penny of the $150 I spent backing this up on IndieGoGo in 2012.

You know what? I could have bought the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ArcheAge alpha with that amount of money and have gotten a more polished, complete, and probably more fun game than StarForge.

I'm really sorry but as it stands, this is what I think. I may possibly change my opinion in a couple of years if this game ever releases.

Dark Souls 2 builds on and improves everything that made Dark Souls great, in addition to learning from Dark Souls' shortcomings. One of the biggest improvements that From Soft has done is the rework of how online works. No longer do you have to wait around a summoning sign until you nearly die of old age, just to be greeted by a failed summon. No longer do you have to spend countless hours in frustration as your invasions fail to trigger. No longer will your friendships be broken as you can't indulge in jolly cooperation.

Since GF- *COUGH*. Ahem, excuse me. Since, GFW-*COUUUGH*. Let's try that again, shall we? Since GFW- GFW.... GFW... GFWL is now gone and is rotting in the depths of hell, the online is now based on Steamworks, which has its pros and cons. Steamworks does not rely on peer to peer connections, so you will find it very easy to see summoning signs, get invaded, and invade. HOWEVER! As it relies on Steam's servers, you will find yourself playing alone whenever the servers are under ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ maintenance, or when they're offline completely.

Although they fixed the online portion of the game, I personally find the game lacking in a couple of ways, mainly the story. I found Dark Souls' story very engaging, so much that I honestly didn't mind playing the story over and over again. I always learned something new, and the characters were memorable. I can't say the same about the story in Dark Souls 2. It's amazing the first playthrough, but then it just feels half-assed and uninteresting after that. I can't bear to play through the story again; at this point the only thing that engages me in the game is PvP, which is my next point.

Dark Souls 2's PVP is like a kinder surprise. It's great until you get to the core, then that satisfaction may or may not turn into disappointment depending on what you get. (jesus christ that was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ horrible I should kill myself for that) It can be the most fun experience you can have in the franchise, or it can be bad. Disgustingly bad. It honestly depends on you and what you're expecting out of it. From Soft has already released a balance patch that nerfed a couple of things alongside bug fixes, but I can't help but see the same build being used over and over and over again. What happened to originality?

All in all, I think Dark Souls 2 does a good job of being a Dark Souls sequel. While the story may be a bit lackluster, the game still ends up being fun. It has the challenge, it has the online play we all love and most importantly, it feels like a Dark Souls game.

8.5/10

I was honestly going to write a long and descriptive review, but I can't be assed.

YOU WANT CONTENT? HAHA ♥♥♥♥ YOU HAVE GO KARTS ♥♥♥♥♥

Seriously though, this game is awesome. ARMA has always been my favorite franchise, and I plan to play this for a long long time.

8.8/10
