there's still no neutral or mixed option for reviews unfortunately so i'm marking this as negative

siege is a good game that has one cataclysmic flaw that sticks out the most and it's the fact that it's a ubisoft title. there's plenty of good ideas & the game plays well enough, but i have an almost carnal need to yap about the abusive relationship i've had with it & ubisoft for nearly 9 years now.

to start off, the community this game has is definitively one of the most toxic. from every slur in existence, insane amounts of copium, hackusations & unrelated malarkey, people always find a reason to complain about something. less so if you're winning, doubly so if you're tied & guaranteed if you're losing. and of course, the specimens that partake in this do not do the bare minimum of giving actual callouts & communications. i highly advise turning off VC & chat as a whole if you're not playing with a stack, it's a waste like 85% of the time.

siege's balance is far too complicated of a topic to go over in a little steam review. putting it as compact as i can: it's a mess that makes me ask: do we really need as many operators as the game does? the game has 74 as of this review & they're gunning for 100 before pulling the plug on new ops. this wouldn't really be a problem if the team responsible for balancing the game knew what they were doing, but they were still incompetent with less operators! the more operators this game adds, the harder & harder it gets to balance as some operators are left in the dust, forgotten by time. (sledge as an example, his poor smg-11 pried from his hands eons ago in a different era of siege & still hasn't recovered from it)

weapons are... mostly fine? i think? there's some questionable acog choices on defense & shotguns are inconsistent as hell still, DMRs are also kinda mid on attack sometimes i guess. fire rate tends to reign supreme though with the 1 hit headshot philosophy. handguns are also useless if a machine pistol is an option. guns feel & sound good to use at the very least.

maps are a really big mixed bag, though i primarily played ranked so the worst i really had to deal with was emerald plains or NH labs. majority of the maps that aren't in the ranked pool are out of it for a reason, mostly because they play horribly or straight up just don't facilitate balanced and or cozy gameplay for newer and or reworked operators. should the outdated maps be reworked? yes, but they won't because they gotta hit that sacred 100 operator quota before ubisoft goes under!

cosmetics are cosmetics, optional nonsense with questionable pricing that may or may not look good depending on who's laying eyes on it. i've spent money on like 2 or 3 elite skins, regrettably. t'was a different time though, before the ceo of ubisoft's undiagnosed CTE spoke through him and said "get used to not owning your games", being 100% serious about it. you CAN have some pretty baller fashion, at least.

subscription service in a paid game regardless of what it offers is stupid & feels like some kind of last ditch effort to try & pull ubisoft out of its current financial turmoil. battle pass is also kinda cheeks & doesn't give you enough R6 credits to effectively refund the damn thing when you're done with it. cosmetics in the bp range from great to godawful, you're mostly in it for the packs, credits & boosters though.

siege matchmaking is a circus, with ranked very often giving you people way below your ELO while the other team has 2 champions, a diamond & 2 high emeralds. and if you do happen to get a one of those fabled high ranked players on your team, the coin-flip of "will my random teammate(s) be having an off game" should be something you can gamble your actual money on.

tl;dr for those who tread the line on being literately challenge: decent game marred with issues due to bizarre developer decisions & dodgy systems

pretty damn good remaster, feels the way a tony hawk game should & it's got bits & parts from pretty much the entire series thrown in (reverts, wall plants & what not) to make it play that much better. would very much sell my soul for a remaster of pro skater 3 & 4 in the same vein as this one, unlikely as it is.

i've got one major complaint and it's how limited create a skater is. i get it's because of modern engine nonsense, but the amount of options you have is extremely disappointing when compared to underground which came out 20 friggin' years ago. no body customization, no face editing, no height slider, every character has the same body. other than this, the game is solid & a nice example of what a remaster should be.

as of this review the expansion needs quite a bit of polish that it's getting in the future with the recently revealed SotS 2.0 roadmap, this at least proves that the new team cares & isn't leaving us with something mediocre at best & particularly rank at worst, which is good. will it ever be better than the first dlc? absolutely not, but i believe it could cement itself as damn good with enough care. it does have one distinct advantage over SotV by not having blind pests though, please make these things less insufferable GB i beg you

this game's multiplayer is a fantastic way to develop trust issues & grudges, i plan on shooting my friends & myself again

lost judgment is by far my favorite RGG title to play, the story is a bit weaker than its predecessor but it's still a very well written story that tackles topics of bullying, suicide, the failures of a legal system, ruthless vigilantism & the consequences of everything mentioned.

combat is the pinnacle of RGG's combat systems, giving you more control than ever to beat random schmucks (and delinquent teenagers this time around!) to what would be considered minced meat in any other game & finally giving us a dragon engine game with the fabled 3 styles. (with boxer as a bonus 4th style!) juggling is more addictive than drugs & i'm always chasing the high of longer & longer juggles.

the soundtrack? god tier as usual, RGG's composers go absolutely balls out like they have been since 2005 bringing some of my favorite tracks in a RGG title.

game is RICH with side content as well, having more side cases & minigames than ever, with school stories to go along with it all. (most of the school stories have brand new minigames to accompany them as well, but there's like 1 good one & 1 that could be extremely fun but falls flat, the rest aren't worth mentioning because they're ass)

if you loved the original judgment there's a damn good chance you'll love this one as well, this is (in my opinion) one of the best sequels ever made & the game was worth every dollar i spent on it.

i witnessed 2 of my friends get punched to death by civilians

game is fun but capcom is garbage, 4 title updates & still no fixes for save files getting corrupted for no reason, adding more DLC seems to be their priority

UPDATE:

as of title update 5 (released april 20th, 2023) my save files actually work again, having a lot of fun but this review's staying negative because of how long it took to fix

i don't wanna chase a private jet in a dodo ever again

i played this game back when it was released

it sucked

and it still does

you remember those friends you played video games with and they would always look at your screen? yeah, this game is exactly what that is. you get to relive your childhood hell.

this is a great game to play with your friends as you'd expect

but even though i really like this game, i can't recommend the full 15 dollar price because it's not something you're going to be playing constantly & it doesn't have any sort of playerbase

buy this game for yourself & your friends on sale if you want to play it
