Played this with a group of friends last night and in my opinion there is no excuse for this costing any amount of money. It feels like something you should have gotten for free five years ago with your online sub. You can only get rewards by playing on global online. The rewards are a drip feed that changes week over week. You can't even pick what you want to spend your points as the game does a roulette style thing for whichever of the two packs you choose. The tutorials don't explain the finer points of each game. And the lag is so bad in one on one matches with anyone over seas it's unplayable.

How lazy do you have to be to complain that a movie uses a "trope" that it's source material predates?

People are going to look back at this stuff in 10 to 15 years and wonder why game review promoted racism

@chiefwiggum16: FF7 came out 20 years ago. Games have kind of moved on. Do you experience time in a linear fashion?

It's about what I expected. Still very much looking forward to getting this when I get paid.

@SultaN-s Some people will find anything to complain about.

@Talavaj @J-007 I just want a solid critique of a game. I don't need a grading curve to placate people who get emotionally invested in a game they haven't played yet.

@verysalt @GabranthXIII Actually I thought Van Ord's review was probably more generous than it needed to be. That game was a total hack job.

@J-007 And how would they do that? What if both writers have the same complaints? Do they higher twice as many people and then psychologically profile them so they can pair them up based on.... what? What purpose what it even serve?

Falls apart at the fifth chapter? This game falls apart right from the start. You get no feedback as to what you did wrong and the outcome feels entirely random.

Also in realistic mode you have to "close" the doors first by clicking on them. Then it switches to loading the camera inside of a building and making the mouse invisible and none of the controls work so you have to alt + tab out of the game.
