As one of the lucky few who have not crashed at all playing the game, this might be a little biased since I didn't need to deal with major performance issues.

I absolutely love this game, the whole game had me exploring each nook and cranny which led me from one side quest to another. I honestly wish this game didn't have any performance issues for other people, since this game has so much going for it. Great music, great combat, interactivity with the npc's and partners (I really like giving high-fives to pawns each and every fight) give this game a lot of life and enjoyable moments.

Game's pros aside, yeah, there are some rare issues I had. Once every IRL day, I'd get a small lag spike entering the main city for a few seconds before going back to normal. Honestly, I think that was the only big issue I had with the game so far. And speaking of transactions, I did get the preorder edition, meaning I did get some of the "micro transactions" that many people hated. I'd like to say yes, micro transactions suck, and should not exist for $70 games. But playing the game for the first half an hour, YOU DO NOT NEED THESE ITEMS. THESE ITEMS ARE ALL OBTAINABLE IN-GAME BY PLAYING NORMALLY Every single item that is sold as a micro transaction is obtainable fairly easily, and almost immediately. The only one I feel like would be a great change for the game would be to have the portcrystal (which is one of the micro transactions) to be given fairly sooner. But even then, for the amount of traveling I did, most of my time is usually spent depending on oxcarts.

I really wish this game will fix their performance issues, cause this game doesn't deserve the inflated amount of flak if it worked normally. But since this game literally doesn't work for many people, I understand why this game has mixed reviews, and should stay mixed until this problem gets fixed.

Bought the game on sale. Came in. Came out. Came everywhere. Finished the game in under an hour. Do stores accept refunds for used condoms?

First game: Dropped at a school expecting to learn the basics of the game; threatened for my pants, got shot with a P92, and called me a boob.

Second game: Dropped at an underground shelter hoping to hide from other people; got fisted by a female character wearing a black coat.

Third game: Decided to play with friends; dropped at school because they told me to. I got downed, enemy got downed; both parties have squad members somewhere else. We both apologize shooting at each other and start screaming that we will both survive. My last ally dies and my enemy companion cries for me.

Play with friends. 10/10 gameplay. Would scream with enemies again.

but graphics might turn ppl off, sooo......

yeah. good luck with that.

Edit: I revoke my last statement. Nao is sexy.

its ok

This game is pretty neat to be honest. I thought this game would be a bit boring. It actually wasn't, and I'm not a big fan of these kinds of games, but I have to admit that this game is the one of the funnest, funniest, and interesting game I've ever played. The game itself is very hard to people who are new to this kind of genra, and I reccommend upgrading armor if you get hit a lot. But this game won't make you rage so much and get annoyed like other games (such as Impossible quizzes or fastest reaction timing), more like it will tell you that you suck and need more practice. If you can't seem to get the game, it's fine because there is a level system that improves your character's stats.I personally think I am one of the worst players of this game, but its still pretty addicting. The only cons in this game is the difficulty (which is not really a con if you like difficult games) and the the feeling of repetitive-ness after you play for about a total of 10 hours of gameplay. HOWEVER, if you play with at least another person you know, you are in for a whole load of arena fights, "lol"-ing, partial betrayal, forced teamwork, money and hit stealing, and most of all, loads of poop (even without a person...)

Overall SP Gameplay - 9/10
Overall MP Gameplay - 11/10

*Reccommend buying 4-pack to give to friends. I'm sure it would be worth it (not guaranteed however... Everyone has their tastes. This one just has a partial ability to make people like this game.)
