This game is like the most polished turd. You play it, it"s fun, the game play is Call of BattleKov.

This fun comes to an abrupt end when the stutters begin. My system isn"t "New" But it"s not exactly bad, and the game cannot remotely stay stable, regardless of how low I set the settings, or however much FSR2 tries it"s hardest to cope with the frameloss.

R5600X and RX6800XT has frame drops to below 10 whenever effects are on screen. Smoke, Explosions etc.

I"m trying my hardest to enjoy this, but the devs NEED to sort out the optimisation. The slideshow ends, the fun begins.

Great game, but when you"re banning thousands of people, please don"t ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ put that ♥♥♥♥ on my screen for 10 minutes, I"m trying to play... I get it, bans are good and for sure deters other from playing, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ let me opt out of the showboating when it takes up a third of my screen.

This game has no endgame for most players. You wanna try-hard as a group? You"ll have to put up with bug abuse, PVP glitching, and literally bots(automated players) playing and hoovering up resources. This game no longer has end game. The servers sometimes roll forward months at a time causing progress and currency to be lost in the thousands.

Resource bugs, dupes, exploits? trading being disabled more than it"s allowed at this rate.
Heaven forbid you end up in a bug that needs customer support, you may as well kiss your account good bye. People who had server transfer bugs have been stuck in limbo for 34 days+, and they asked CSR, got nowhere, asked CSR again, got nowhere, and then asked forums, and then many people have been banned, from forums and the entire game.

This is the worst customer support I"ve seen. I am for certain that the AWS and AGS customer support are the same poor folks who have no experience with CSR for a video-game, and no framework to actually help you when you contact them.

Let"s talk about balancing.. *ᵀʰᵉʳᵉ ᶦˢ ⁿᵒ ᵇᵃˡᵃⁿᶜᶦⁿᵍ*
Great axe OP? Buffed.
Magic balanced? Nerf.
Musket Balanced? Buff the ever loving ♥♥♥♥ out of it.

AGS is looking more and more like a cash grab, and less and less like a functional studio.
This game is pretty. This game at it"s core combat system is Fun. It"s a shame that as you push into the game"s deeper functions, the game is a polished turd. The playerbase calls for changes, that get ignored and sometimes even the opposite provided, and then AGS also implements things on a whim that ruin the game, even when there is a PTR to test these things.

Don"t buy New World. Not until they finish polishing it up.

I will preface this:
I am a huge fan of Destiny 2. But I cannot recommend it to anyone. Season of the Chosen was a huge step forward.
This season has been a larger step back.

This is not a F2P/DLC game. It has Seasons and DLC, which is paywall content, and then also has F2P style MXT shop.
Being a veteran or a DLC owner doesn"t make the MTX cheaper.

They finally added a staple of games that have fashion and cosmetics. a TRANSMOG System. AND THEY FREAKING PAYWALLED IT. They made it a grind, CAPPED your transmogs PER SEASON, and then ADDED A MXT WITH REAL MONEY. FIVE TRANSMOGS will put you back £10.
You"d be forgiven for thinking this is still an Activition release.

This is not an Indy company. Yet we"re getting Indy level bugs and balancing.

Destiny is a LOOTER, SHOOTER, with RPG Elements and PVP elements.

LOOTER:
They added new weapons accessable though a PVP grind only available for one week at a time. They forgot to add these Weapons to the loot pools. Those most eager to get these weapons have now done this time-gated-PVP grind, and have nothing to show for it.
Content that is meant to reward exotic legs instead rewards helmets? This is beyond basic stuff.

SHOOTER:
The guns have a standout handful that are meta, and a million that are trash. In PVP, if you are not using a meta loadout, you"re going to have a terrible time.

RPG: THERE IS NO BALANCING.
Stasis, the new kid on the block(and funny enough the paywalled subclasses) and is OP broken. Bungie know this, and in last seasons stated "Stasis is oppressive, Especially Hunter Revenant. We are nerfing it"
Warlocks, Titans and Hunters have the same 3 stasis grenades.
This Season gave Hunters a mega-busted perk for grenades. It breaks PVP. Instead of adding this as a universal perk to Stasis, it"s HUNTER ONLY.
They then added class specific Exotics and the hunter one, named star-eater scales, is again, game breaking broken.

PVP:
THE ANTI-CHEAT is NON Functional. People with multiple VAC bans on record in the last month are Cheating in PVP on Destiny and nothing is done about them. It"s not hard to even say "You have a recent VAC ban, you are barred from normal PVP Queues" but no. Hacker"s run rampant in even the casual PVP playlists.

Amazing, satisfies my lootwhore addiction to a T, massive game, lots of choice in skill/passive/gear, Love it, Blows Diablo 3 out the water.

I play Battlefield for the Epic gameplay of 64 Versus 64. But this game. It blows it out of the water 10/10
