This really is a very poor review indeed. It reads like a general commentary on the Souls series rather than an actual review of this specific game. How are the graphics, framerate, PC port? How is magic, miracles and range weapons employed this time around? What are the characteristics of the new weapon art mechanics and are they an improvement? How does the change to a mana bar effect the gameplay? Etc Etc. This is just lazy Gamespot. There are so many excellent gaming websites and YouTube channels that I think you really have to raise your game - especially for the big releases.

"Impedes on your enjoyment" - Grammar much?

I thought Witcher 3 was a masterpiece but also pretty boring. I lost interest in the teens and didn't complete the story. Gwent was great though.

@aegis_kleais There's a difference between a game that receives new content constantly so that you can play forever, and a game that doesn't have any content but just tells you to play the same thing again and again (a la Destiny).

Looks nice. However, if it's anything like Destiny you can throw it in the bin right now thanks.

The Last of Us was truly and amazingly immersive game. There were some other great titles this year, Mordor, GTA, Dragon Age, Alien, Far Cry, etc some great titles. However, Destiny is an abomination.

Most people levelled their factions up to just below the next level in preparation for the dlc

Make sure you do the weekly, that's 500 rep per week alone
