I'm going to preface this by saying that I don't really post reviews for even 5% of the games I own, but I think the actions of 2K warrant some input. The last two community updates were posted in December 2017, and December 2016 respectively containing bug fixes and the like. For them to post adding their 3rd party launcher, account linking, and store half a decade later without even FIXING BUGS is laughable at best. However, this becomes a slap in the face to people interested in this buggy mess when you call it a, "Quality of life update"! What a bunch of incredibly deluded data/money grubbers to release this community update and expect anything besides negative feedback.

I have never had soo much fun opening doors.
I rate this game 10/10 broken doors.

Needs a lot of work
Edit:
343's silence and ambiguity in their communication to the community leading up to their latest road map proves (which the leaks forced their hand to release in the first place) that they knew they'd receive backlash from the public. I'm impressed that 343 managed to unite the Halo community. Unite their loss of hope that is, in the company's ability to reliably manage the development of this "live service game". However, I do feel bad for Joseph Staten. He was brought in real late in development, and is now used as a scapegoat while general manager Bonnie Ross hides from public scrutiny. Seems like management needs a real shakedown, or 343 just needs to be stripped of their rights to this IP.

I don't own the original, but I've seen tons of footage and mods, which is actually what got me into vehicle simulations (currently 27 hours upon editing review). Its dumbfounding to me why people with both games post negative reviews, and are suggesting to buy the original over this one. Do they support crooked business practices, or are they just the typical ignorant person that is clueless to their surroundings/investments? Either way, the old game is dead/no longer receiving updates because the devs got ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Don't believe me? Then you can check out the old reviews HERE (which is how I and probably many others learned about it initially).


The devs cut a deal with another publisher to release this, which is inarguably in a much better state than the original Spintires at launch. I would say it is still better even up to date; although, there is the exception of things that come with time like more mod support and vehicle/tire customization. Typical arguments for negative reviews is stating how the maps are the same (if not, very similar) for the logging runs and the apparent abundance of mods/customization as previously stated. Spintires: Mud Runner was never advertised as a whole new and original game. This game was made in spite of the old publisher as an enhanced version, that is actually supported by the devs and has already received updates while only being out for approximately two months. I believe that I'm not the only one that can see the business model for this game is to render the original obsolete. This game can, and probably will be, a great story about betrayal and triumph between a publisher and development team. Stay focused and stay true Saber Interactive. ♥♥♥♥ up Oovee!

PUBG, a game from humble beginnings which has exceeded all expectations, it's topped the sales charts, dethroned Dota as the most played game on Steam, it's swept across the internet like an African bush fire engulfing us all in an inferno of twitch streamer kill streak montages, gameplay videos and memes. A game which has caused more of a stir than the death of the beloved noble beast Harambe, may god rest is gentle soul.


Be that as it may, something is still bugging me. At first I kinda liked it, but after a few hours I was totally bored, I kept returning to PUBG, not due to any desire to continue playing it, but because of it's immense success. The constant nagging from friends who swear it's the best thing since sliced bread, and that it's the only game worth playing right now, luring me into a duos or a squad, which usually turns into a game of "how many times do we have to sit in a lobby after one of us dies at the start, before we actually get into a real game" After that ritual, if we haven't rage quit, we usually agree on the sensible option which is "hide like little babies in buildings, preying for good gear, and a favourable circle" If all goes well, you'll be rewarded by making it to the top 10, where you will get to enjoy an exhilarating gun fight with the worlds laggiest combat, the glitchiest, most buggiest hit registration and the most unreliable aiming mechanics in a game ever. Not that any of that really makes a difference, since nine times out of ten, you won't even see your enemies as they scope you with a fifteen times silenced sniper rifle from across the map. All of this leaves me asking one question.

Why does everyone like this game?

• Laggy
  
• Buggy
  
• Crappy mechanics
  
• RNG on a level which makes winning the lotto seem like a matter of skill

The biggest problem with the game, it's main flaw, the thing that makes it an incredibly tedious chore, is the gameplay. The gameplay is just horrible, it is as exciting as watching your grandpa take a nap in front of a golf tournament on TV, on a Sunday afternoon, after lunch, with the only highlights being the occasional fart, and some snoring!

Who wants to play a game which lasts 40 minutes only to have 2 or 3 seconds of action, 99 percent of your time is spent looting, looking for gear, searching for items, scavenging for upgrades, scouring the map for collectibles, foraging for equipment and jogging, Oh Jesus, put your trainers on chaps, because there's lots and lots of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ jogging. Endlessly jogging in some toxic, blue, electrified, force field, thingy.

But wait, what if we spice things up a bit, make the looting a bit more interesting. Perhaps by adding some magical items to the game, looting would become more of an adventure, and the game would take on a bit of an RPG kind of flavour. Yeah that would be brilliant, hmm let's see, what about a magical imperishable crown of undeniable awesomeness, granting the wearer immortality, charming good looks, and a 12 inch penis, oh yeah, I forgot, they already have a lvl 3 helmet in this game, that does all of that, let's check:

1. Makes you indestructible *check
   
2. Makes you look like a bad ass *check*
   
3. Gives you a massive fat ♥♥♥♥ to ♥♥♥♥ everyone on the server with, harder than an African American inmate serving 20 to life *check*

WAIT WUT!? I thought this was a competitive hardcore first person shooter?! Magical crown of awesomeness? WTF!?!

So yeah, magic items are actually a thing in this poor excuse of a competitive first person shooter/3rd person shooter for noobs/not really a shooter more of an RPG/survival game. All that's really missing are the zombies, or wait, hang on, are we the players meant to be the zombies? The mindless creatures roaming around the country side, aimlessly, scrounging for fragments of what might have been a fun game, but isn't because it's broken in every way imaginable?


To wrap up Player Unknown's Battlegrounds sounded like a cool idea, but in practice, turned out to be more of a disappointment. Nothing new here folks, just more early access, pre alpha, beta, still in development, low budget rubbish. A game that still can't decide if it wants to be a hardcore competitive shooter or a half baked Fallout DayZ H1Z1, blended with the hunger games with a side order of jogging simulator, and sprinkled with magic power ups.
