@bluepuppy82 Kevin didn't review Titan fall and I would agree with this score. I've been eagerly awaiting this game ever since Bungie broke away from Microsoft and announced they were working on something new.
Bungie's last series, Halo, was a very minimalistic series. There was plot and lore in that game, but you were only forced to dip your toes in it. What was there was good, (who doesn't remember SGT Johnson or some of Master Chiefs epic one liners?) but they weren't exactly going for a groundbreaking narrative.
It's a similar situation in Destiny. The story is still aside in favor of stellar gameplay, beautiful level design and excellent art direction. But unlike Halo, the story that is there is bad. It's not that it couldn't have been good:
Humanity having suffered incredible losses is desperately clinging to life in attempt to regain their foothold in the solar system.
But it was told in such an emotionless way. There are no memorable characters, scenes, or stories that I can think of having completed the main campaign. And while the gameplay still holds my interest for now I don't think I'll remember the game for it's semi-worth-it gameplay alone.
Pete Parsons from bungie mentioned how he wanted Destiny to sit alongside popular entertainment such as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars. I don't think they've achieved that this time around.
Here's a tip if you don't want those cinema borders in your enbs. In of the enb files (enbeffects maybe? It's one of those notepad editable files). Ctrl+F showcinemaborder and set that to false.
Battlefield 3 is an amazingly optimized game. But I've always had crashing issues with it on two separate computers (one with a 560m, and one with a 680). I seem to be experiencing the same crash, around 10 minutes in to gameplay, as I almost always did with Battlefield 3. Wonderful. I know it's a beta. I just hope this time around, BF4 will be more stable.
@TheWhiteRabbit7 I very rarely see personal bias from Kevin's reviews. However this is his commentary. His take on a subject matter, through his perspective. If no one put any bias into anything this is what all commentaries would sound like.
