The only downside is it's BIG ISSUE. Seriously. RCE is nothing to joke about. People's personal security and privacy should NOT be taken lightly.

As it appears, news has reached me that numerous people has tried contacting fromsoftware about a dangerous exploit that could give third parties access to people's computers that are playing the game - and fromsoftware as it turned did not give a crap about it. Until it got out of control. Until it caught the attention of many people.

Edit: -Until years and years have passed by. And now they think about fixing it? Now they think about fixing the issue-
As some have commented and have pointed out, it was not the case that /years/ have passed by, and with their full knowledge about the issue that ~they~ ignored it, rather, it was the case that ~after~ that they've been notified, and they STILL did not give a crap about it and time had passed, and it had gotten out of control that it caught the attention of many people ! - they shut down the service - and that's what makes me angrier - that they shut down the online service entirely instead of fixing or finding an alternative, and only when it's caught the attention of many people.

In case you did not know, this game had an online feature which was, when it services were up (for years) before it was updated (for years), had an exploit that would've allowed third parties to access your computer so long as you were online and they connected to your session.

Edit : -I'm not going to change my review until they fix that issue. And even then, if I do give it a thumbs up I will check if it already had an overwhelmingly positive review status just to make sure they do get what they deserve and not above and beyond what already people have been excusing them for a long time- I have changed my review since they finally have updated the game and returned the online services. And that first step that they've taken will be accepted. It is a very good initiative.

, and I do recommend it to fans and casual players to check it out.
I've had many positive points to talk about why this game deserves the title such of that of 'master piece'.
(talking about it like that doesn't give it the full credits that it does deserve, but I will try to summarise in points)


I guess the story is there just to pretend that theres more to offer to the game to increase it point-value - is what it looks like to me. And I suppose it does entertain you here and there while you feel like you're left stranded on the hopeless island that's full of sand, so as to borrow my own remark, fighting with your half-assed broken sword and armor for a cause that who-knows-what-and-where is going to lead you to at the end of the day (maybe if there was a writer here, he would probably say something like "trust me, it's just going to waste your time").

Overall, I liked the game. And since they finally updated it and returned the online service I'm actually saying that I liked the game. Though theres lots more to talk to about, and more credit to give than what I've merely summarised in few points here. And I do apologize, in advance, if there is point that I have missed.

The efforts that were made in order to update the game and return the online features are accepted. Thank you very much @FromSoftware .
