Not a fan of what Sony is doing and how this game will lose its player base. I will not be playing again until Sony stops

So I join in at the end of the last war and ended up joining the losing side. But it was fun. everyone working together to win massive fights of combine arms battle. Tanks and small arms. Can not complain about it.

I had high hopes for this game. Something to replace Civ 6 or something to hold over till Civ 7 comes along. But as I have played several games I have found it to be more bad then anything else. Sure it has some good points but it does not hold up to other 4X games.

Lets get some of the bad out of the way. Games are on a force timer. Max number of turn is 600. I can not remember a 4x game that can be finish with in a day that you are not speed running. And at final turn you win or lose with fame even if you choose for other win options. So you have a force win/lose point. We have like most 4X and like many will point out snowballing problem. I have seen this in every game once the ai get going they are very hard to stop. Top it off they cheat like a mo fo. I found myself in my last game winning until at some point the AI started to pass me then just shot ahead with out any chance of taking them over in fame. THen with the fame has no easy way to earn as everything begins to cost to much to expand or keep going to war as the game goes on. Civics tree is not great. THe random of how you get them can hurt you and the cost of them in mid to late game just becomes so much that I usually end up with two - four unpick as i try to build up influence to pick one then wait a long time to pick another and so on and so on. The random map every time is nice but I like playing on earth more then random worlds so gets old of the random map every time. Resource are way to rare. I spent to much time looking for them only to see they are way out of my range to get at.

So two good things to it looks good and like how armies can be stack. Why am i short on this. Nothing to say about the two good things as they are fine as is.

a beautiful game that I will be replaying again and again

Broken as all get up. played coop with a friend and have npcs spawn for him but not for me. We botrh died three times to nothing. No gun shots no trip wires nothing. They claim it is realistic but it is not. Your footsteps are loud as ♥♥♥♥ and you can not even sprint other then 10 feet. Guns have no stopping power what so ever taking 1/4-50 of the mag to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ drop someone. I am returning it for my money and not looking back.

Lets be clear the game play is good. shooter looter always fun but the characters and the story are not great. Kill off beloved characters to replace them with others that i feel are boring and flat. Then the so call bad guys are not even real villains we are told they are bad but that is it we have no real skin in the game. They have done nothing to the player characters. The god complex they have is over used in most story telling. I mean Jack had it but he in a twisted way was trying to make the planet a better place. the TWins just wanted to be gods or what ever they wanted and a remind me more of social medal personalities who in my mind are just boring and useless. Hell the DLC love and tentacles villian was way better and way better story. You had skin in the game so to speak. I have beaten the game twice now on both settings so I can wipe my hands of this unless some good dlcs come out.

With Halo CE out finally worth playing allot more. Not a fan of reach but CE makes up for allot. Fingers cross for Sniper tank mod showing up soon for CE

great game needs some work but over all great

a hard but well worth it game.

If you want a great plot twist and a real good mind ♥♥♥♥ so gor it
