Yes, this game is a nightmare, it is definitely a bad example of what the gaming industry should try to become.
Why?
1- Single player mode:
A)you cant play the story mode without internet. I mean come on its a console game, some people buy their consoles to play game by themselves, without internet and other people. Listen to me THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN PLAY THE MAIN CAMPAIGN WITHOUT INTERNET. and even if you have it the servers tends to fall. When that happens you have to repeat the same mission you where in from the beginning.
B) All mission are the same thing on a different map. You basically get to a place, let you gosth scan for info, kill all the aliens, go to another place and do the same thing 3 times and is mission complete. If your connection to the server is lose, then you have to do it all again, making it even more repetitive. Honestly, what where they thinking? after the level of excellence of so many games out there, how can you even thing this is fun?
2- Story: lol
No but seriuly, when the story ended, i didn't even realize that was the ending, i thought that was the beginning of the game, the end of act 1. Seriously i can write of how awful the story was, short, full of clichesit was but you will never understand the horror this game is by words, only by experiencing it yourself you might understand and i HIGHLY recommend you not to play this game.
3- DLC: the story feels probably like act one of a movie cause it is, there are DLC already annouce for this game that promise on expand the story. In other words the game is not finish and to have the full game you have to pay even more money. And to make it worse if you wanna play with friends you need to be a PLUS sub to play together.
SO basicly you gonna spend at least tons of cash on this game if you wanna play it with friends and get to the very end of the story. And this game is really not that good, so is not even worth it.
4- Gameplay: even though it has some good stuff, is to repetitive, even all the classes feel a little similar in way to many aspects. But the worst for me is that it feels to rigid. You cannot roll or jump to the sides to doge bullets, so it lack mobility and freedom that other shooters have.
Conclusion: i can go on finding why this is not worth your time and money, but im gonna leave it like that. the game industry has become one that abuses his customers. they deliver mediocre incomplete games, at the price of a full game and now you have to be online to play them, so its not like you own the game, they own it, you have to pay your internet and you pay your play station plus sub, so you can play their game, and if you wanna finish it, you have to buy the dlc. I regret buying my PS4. But still have hope maybe this game will fail badly, that people wont support this kind if crap and that developers will respect us and deliver on their promises.
And don't take all our money in just one game.
