half of my playtime came from closing the game and coming back in the morning to find out it hadn't closed and was still open in background which is as good an indicator of any of how buggy the game is years later. buy on sale cause there's obviously something here but don't get your hopes up that you're finally getting a finished product
edit: i did like the part at the end where keanu reeves who up until that point has been living in your walls said "i guess you are a real cyberpunk after all V" though
edit 2: the game now causes my entire pc to shut off at random intervals

i want to have sex with kate she has child rearing hips

okay this is epic

First they came for the matchmaking, and I did not speak out because DMZ was still fun. Next they came for my wallet by making DMZ P2W, and I did not speak out because I had disposable income. Then they came for the mil-sim skins, and I did not speak out because I could still play the old CODs. Then they came for BOIII, and I did not speak out because I didn't like the jetpack games. When they come for Plutonium, there will be nobody left to speak for me.

Would love more campaign DLC like this. If Eugen needs easy content, just clone the campaigns that are already in the game but let us play them from the other side's perspective. Please eugene i need climb mount varodnaya but from BLUFOR's perspective

Definitely a worthwhile DLC, if a bit expensive. Adds quite a bit of flavor to the game with the new call types and vehicles. While the purpose of some are obvious (the sport car, for instance, is good for speeding and car thefts), some vehicles do not have such obvious uses. It might just be because I'm stupid, but I can't for the life of me find a use for vehicles like the fireman's pickup. I would definitely recommend this DLC, but it may be wise to wait for a sale.

This DLC definitely isn't for everyone. If you choose to do the mission, it adds immense challenge to your game. These rulers shouldn't be underestimated, since one bad roll can lead to even your best soldiers lying dead on the ground from a giant crossbow/robot fist/plasma sword wound. Trust me, I know from experience. If you don't want to deal with these tougher than usual boss aliens, or just want the customization options, your best bet is to enable the DLC (trust me on this, disabling the DLC only disables the story mission) and just not do the mission until you're ready. There's no penalty for doing this, except for the thought that Dr Vahlen, the head of research from the last game, could be dying down there (you monster!) If you do intend on fighting these boss aliens, you may be interested in this mod. Since rulers react on every move, being able to have every squad member overwatch at once could make the fight significantly easier. This could be considered cheating, though, so use your best judgment.

Summary
You won't exactly miss anything by passing on this DLC. Nothing in it is the most story critical, but it does sort of tie up a few loose ends from EU. If you're looking for some neat customization options, or maybe just some new enemies who you intend to steamroll, then this DLC might not be the best for you. But if you're a more experienced player looking for a real challenge, then this DLC might be just what you're looking for. I wouldn't exactly recommend this DLC at the current price (a $10 price tag is ridiculous for what you get,) but I would definitely grab this on sale.

Anyone who thinks that this game is worse than fallout 3 probably has the weed mod [www.nexusmods.com] installed.

I only played a little bit of it but it was alright

Jokes aside TF2 is probably one of the most likely candidates for best game of all time.

In war, not everyone is a soldier. This War of Mine shows you the horrors of war through the eyes of a group of civilians. Taking quite an influence from the Siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War, you are put into a city under siege and forced to survive. Though the gameplay is nothing special, what truly shines about This War of Mine is the message behind it. Survival is tough in this city, and you must do whatever you can to survive. This leads to you quite often making terrible choices to survive, such as robbing a hospital or a church just trying to help innocent people like you survive and stealing from an elderly couple, and if you come back to where the couple was, you find out that they have starved to death because of you. Ultimately, This War of Mine is more of a work of art than a game. It excels at showing you the savagery of war through the ones most affected by it, but the raw gameplay is honestly not the most fun or enjoyable, at least during the daytime. At night, however, comes the real fun of the game. You must send one of your playable characters to a location in the world to scavenge for food, medicine, and anything else that your group needs to survive. If you're a roleplayer, you'll be delighted to know about the character creator where you can upload a picture and create a description for your own custom character. But if you want to stick to the base game, it can get a little boring. There isn't much replay value, and once you've seen a location you've seen it all. If you're looking for a gritty Call of Duty style shooter, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for a fascinating tale of how life under siege affects innocent civilians, this is for you. I don't believe that the current price tag is worth it for such a short experience, but if you can get the game on sale, it's definitely worth it.
