This game is the truest expression of consistent updates, player feedback being taken into consideration, and lots of fun. What Left 4 Dead started, Killing Floor 2 perfected.

It's HALO

But in all seriousness, while this game had a very bad launch and I was unhappy with it at that time, I can say that playing through it with a friend is the best way to go. Halo 2 still provides several areas of annoyance for dropping co-op campaigns, so that is the one thing I would have to specifically gripe about. I had to play at least two missions multiple times because of crashing at cutscenes or random disconnects that were not network related. Think BIOSHOCK and having to save a thousand times an hour to make sure your progress was adequately kept.

All of the games are enjoyable, and I have spent a healthy period of my life training for the dreaded LASO campaigns. There aren't many games out there that make you feel like pushing for that kind of impossible goal, but HALO is just one of those series that makes you want that glory that can only be found in the completion of what is probably some of gaming's hardest additions.

I have put in a few hours, not nearly as many as I would have liked, and it the signature Dragon Quest experience. It looks great, plays great, and the story is, while a formulaic, intriguing enough to keep you playing through the hours of level grind and character progression.

I think that this game is honestly pretty decent. Most people will advise you go straight into Warhammer 2, and some of them have a point. I myself am milking this title all the way until I feel I have really gotten it down, and then I will move up to the next game. Also, keep in mind that all dlc you buy in Warhammer carries over to Warhammer 2.

There are a lot of people out there who think that DBZ games hit their peak during the Budokai - Tenkaichi era, but XV2 is here to show that the good times are here to stay. With a somewhat lukewarm reception, Xenoverse 1 was a strong game with a lot of flaws to dig through. XV2 has brought all of those great features from before, thrown out the bad ones, and created a more refined experience for DB fans everywhere. The combat is intense, albeit a little bit repetitive at low levels, the story is everything that fans know and love with funny, creative, and exciting tie-ins for your character to shine and save the day in every way possible, and the hub world while still a little off putting is miles ahead of where XV had us. All in all, if you are ready to experience DBZ / DBS through your own eyes and not through the eyes of the characters we know and love, then you are in for a treat!

While I am not a huge fan of the DLC system for this game, if you can get it all on sale then I think you have more than enough game on your hands to fill your schedule. Good action, great visuals, and wonderful (if not eventually repetitive) banter between the crew. A solid 8/10 from me.

For what it is, and when it originally released, this is a proper game with a proper story. I would recommend it to anybody looking for a bit of a thrill while taking on what can be either a very easy and enjoyable game, or a turd pushing monstrosity of difficulty.
