@deviltaz35: It doesnt matter if you think Abby was justified. The fact is she tortured and murdered someone who saved her life. No matter how you look at it that is an evil act.
The villain is the character in a story that commits evil acts to push the story forward, and that is what happened when she killed Joel. By definition she is the villain.
@Spartan_418: Torturing and killing someone who had just saved your life is evil.
The stuff with her helping Yara and Lev is just bad writing. We are told that Abby gunned down a bunch of kids a few days before the game takes place and she shows absolutely no remorse when asked about it, so the fact that she feels like she has to atone for killing Joel by helping Yara and Lev is just not believable in the slightest.
The story was bad but I think the writer of this article needs to look up the definition of “Villain”.
A villain is a character who performs evil acts in order to push the narrative forwards.
Ellie never commits evil acts in the game, when she kills Abby’s friends it’s always when they struggle and attack her. She actually only kills them in self defence and even then she feels remorse afterwards. Showing remorse is not the sign of an evil person.
On the other hand Abby is evil, we see that within the first two hours of the game and at one point Mel even pretty much tells her that she is.
So the story sucks, but Abby is the villain, not Ellie.
Shame that it takes one of the biggest faults of FF13 and runs with it.
The linearity of dungeons worked in the original FF7 because they were short and just a way to get to the next area. In FF13 and a lot of FF7 Remake the dungeons ARE the areas, and they go on for way too long.
The have changed the combat a lot, many fights now revolve around the new burst counter mechanics which makes the gameplay pretty different from the first game.
It adds a new mechanic, not change the combat. Combat is just like it was in Nioh 1.
No it isnt just like Nioh 1.
The burst mechanic is almost as important as parrying in Sekiro, its core to the combat in Nioh 2, and it wasnt even part of Nioh 1 at all.

@nikolistary: "The best thing Coalition can do is make Gears an open world game similar to Assassin's Creed Origins. Make it an open world RPG shooter with third and first person options. Expand the lore and make it matter."
You haven't read the reviews for this game have you?
This score seems way too low considering there are only two negatives and one is about the story and the other is basically complaining that it is a Gears game.
