Refund requested. Complete OVERHAUL of combos, timings, hitboxes, guaranteed followup, walls etc. You will need to learn your character from fresh. Grind combos and oki for a thousand hours ALL OVER AGAIN? I don't have time for this. Childish Avatar system just wastes more time instead of jumping straight into matches. Made to give advantage to noobs by forcing previous tekkenners to re-learn everything. Tekkennish game from scratch? No thanks. Should have called it something else, how about TEKKEN AVATARS or TEKKEN PLAYGROUND :(

The go to benchmark for gamers. Consistency is key feature with multiple benchmarks to play with.

In a nutshell: FPS snobs hating on a decent third person multiplayer shooter

Please ignore the negative comments - they don't know J.. Chris
This DLC offers a non-infinite Samurai Edge weapon with Chris enhancements
Chris weapon offers greater accuracy and less latency than Albert but slightly less damage
Chris is the middle ground between Albert and Jill models, Jill has least damage but highest accuracy and speed
Albert has most damage but due to reduced accuracy I ended up dealing less damage with Albert
Chris is best in my opinion

April-May 2023 update tried to push EA play installation. Cancelled EA play installation. Uninstalled Titanfall 2. Hidden. Goodbye

Only 3 characters to play with. Slow motion menus and play (requires modern PC). Very long list of pages and agreements to skip in order to finally play. I don't think I will ever play this. Refund requested

There is no consistent way to collect credits (scrap). You are at the mercy of the game gifting you various limited degrees of scrap after a battle. Advancing in the game should be rewarded with more consistent source of scrap but alas. To add insult, the game randomly punishes you with negative events. Sometimes a negative event can be a big as losing a member of crew even though you just started the game. The game doesn't take into account you have limited crew or resource and can punish you irrespective of your resource level. Its completely random. I might as well play with dice and paper. Ugh.

I changed back to negative because of the dramatic changes in UI and controller settings. Slow death by 100 controller and UI updates...

OLD reveiw:
I changed my review back to positive because of the continual support offered by the devs. 2022 alone saw so many updates I lost count. That and Montana dlc the upcoming Texas dlc.

OLD review:
Limiting truck speed by disabling the acclerator at 65mph is too painful to play anymore WOT jobs. Goodbye external contracts. When highways are hilly I can't pick up enough speed downhill which means I end up at 18mph going up hill on a 70-80mph road. It's a brilliant game don't get me wrong. Being able to traverse the bustling american cities interspersed within forested or sandy country while using various truck configs and witnessing american rivers and nature in all its glory is simply mesmerising. Thank you SCS for not limiting speed for single player. But there's no option to give less than five stars. Big crashes due to steam input issue after the Feb 2022 update got fixed by steam update. Thank you Steam!

Excellent game. Much preferred over Dirt series. More professional layout of track and no stupid litter that sends you flying off the track. However, Epic games has a habit of luring steam players then abandoning them. Also each year game is released makes the previous one obsolete and online servers eventually become non-existent :(

EDIT November 2022:
Changed to positive review due to CAPCOM creating a beta dx11 version of the game (which works with windows 7 64 bit)
I managed to significantly improve the 5-15 second freezing bug. I was believe it or not, trying to solve this bug for the last 2 years. Anyways, it turns out the DRAM, CPU, nvidia driver and game are fighting with each other regarding Vsync and textures. So here's the solution to stop them fighting:
1- In nvidia control panel Set vsync OFF or even better Adaptive (Half refresh rate) (NOT application controlled)
and set texture to QUALITY or HIGH QUALITY
2- In game set Refresh rate to 60
3- In game set Frame rate to: variable
4- In game set Vsync to ON (crazy but it worked for me)
5- Graphics settings choose a pre-set (Recommended or Max) and do NOT modify (except as a last resort)
6- A sign that you have been sorted is the logos fps jumps from single digit fps to double digit (uptp 80fps!).
Hope this helps if you have Win7 and nvidia card
7- If the above haven't worked go to the BIOS:
a- increase the DRAM voltage especially if you have an old system (helps RAM to sustain speed otherwise system freezes during intensive level loading). e.g increased mine from 1.95 to 1.975 (check manufacturer max volt and don't exceed)
b- increase the CPU voltage slightly e.g mine increased from 1.2250 to 1.2500 (in case your CPU is under-volted it will increase performance) - this helped me a lot
c- disable CPU virtualisation, disable all CPU powersaving/media functions
8- disable any GPU overclocking resident program. eg GPU Tweak II etc.
9- Fire up one of your other favourite games which have no freezing issues (in my case T7). You will be surprised that your favourite game that you thought never freezes does actually freeze periodically depending on the above settings. Check this game (T7) from time to time. It helped me diagnose the freezing issue for Re2. I later found that my GPU clocking program had to be turned off as well as CoreTemp.
10- change your desktop resolution to match that of the game
11- Install reshad.exe mod
12- try steam offline mode
13- disconnect from internet and disable antivirus
14- some people reported that disconnecting unused USB devices helped.

EDIT October 2022:
Latest update is windows 10 only. So much for a remake of an old classic with film grain etc
Had to install dx11 beta
But now the notorious 5-15 bug is back:
The whole system literally freezes for 5 seconds every fifteen (best case).
Absolutely nothing will remove this bug this time
Even when graphics is set to recommended or Max, V-sync enabled or disabled, no avail
What a shame I thought I overcame the 5-15 bug only for the update to bring it back

OLD Review:
PROS
Graphics, voice acting top notch 10/10
Story 9/10
Sound effects, music 8.5/10
Action 7/10
Shooting satisfaction 5/10 (trying to headshot wobbling enemies, as weapons are upgraded so too are the enemies)


CONS
All the cons stem from the dreaded very low frame rate affliction, let me explain:
1. The game is ENGRAINED with single-room HDD loading system as this was the method for the original resident evil series. therefore the game almost freezes when moving between rooms or areas as it intensively accesses your drive (unless you have installed the game on a top notch m.2 or nvme storage device). It prefers to frequently load in small batches. It simply doesn't know to load the adjacent rooms/areas on your ram like SOTR which takes ages loading multiple areas but overall better loading experience.
2. When turning down the graphics, the game wrongly assumes you want to transfer graphics processing to the CPU which is a killer for older systems with new graphics (old phenom, 8gb ram, GTX 1070 8g). Turning DOWN all graphics gave me 1-2 fps (YES all graphics turned DOWN made the game slower). This nearly drove me nuts until I defaulted to recommended graphics (high) by mistake and lo and behold I could run the game at 30-40 fps again.
3. If you are fighting enemies between areas, game slows down as it tries to load data from drive making beating enemies more difficult
