Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

I haven't played since either alpha or beta but my understanding is that it started bad and has only gotten worse

There's still promised features missing from the game and you can currently buy clan mechs with a gold skin for $500 per

MWO was amazing. Up until they released the large maps and lost their grasp on what made the game fun. I might try it out again one day.

It started out as a pretty fun raw concept that progressively turned to poo poo as the developers missed deadlines (core features are still completely unimplemented) and proved to be hilariously inept in the things they actually got done. The general goony consensus seemed to be that the game peaked some time around the end of closed beta where it was actually pretty fun and then got progressively worse from there.

Overlooking their general ineptitude, the things that killed it for me;

a. Attempts at anti-stacking that made it punishingly difficult to play with friends
b. Letting the game languish in a stale, boring meta for six months over obvious weapon imbalances that could have been fixed by tweaking spreadsheet values for five minutes.


For the best example, go google Ghost Heat.

I will admit I own one of these as well. I pre-ordered Battlefield 4, and that was the last one I'll ever do unless you count early-access stuff like Wasteland 2 and Carmageddon (both of which I'm very happy about). I just can't bring myself to do it anymore.

I preordered Dark Souls 2, got a sweet case and the OST out of it, as well as some sweet armor and weapons. :smug:

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

Why would you ever preorder a steam game? That's retarded. Read reviews before you buy brand new games. Only game I ever did it with was rerevengearanced because I read the console reviews and there was a big discount if you did it.

If you only have consoles to game on and you played Saints Row 2, The Third was a huge loving let down story wise.

The sandbox still owns as long as you don't advance the story too far.
