I honestly quite liked it, playing it some time after release. A shame it ends on a cliffhanger note with no sequel going to happen.

It's as bad as HR is
Not as bad as IW

But it's definitely inferior to DX

I liked it. The best and worth thing about it is that it's mostly set in the one city hub. Which is good because it's absolutely massive and contains a lot of stuff to explore and find. But it's bad because it makes the story feel way smaller scale compared to other games.

Be warned, and I wish I was exaggerating, the story straight up feels incomplete. I'm not talking about a cliffhanger, those are fine. I'm talking it was obvious so much more was planned and they just rushed to finish SOMETHING. So what you get is a very stretched out first act of a story.

Never been that disappointed with a game before.

Ok so

Took me like an hour to mess around with settings to finally get it stable. Seems really poorly optimized, especially considering i've got a pretty good build. Gameplay is enjoyable so far if a bit janky

I loved it. I tried to get into HR but I kept getting boxed in because it tried to force stealth but gives you very limited tools to do that so it's mostly just playing hide and seek. MD felt a lot more natural with avoiding conflict and the majority of the game is just exploration which is done really well.

I'm only in the intro of the game and so far, the storyline has me captivated.

I only wish I had an rtx card so I could enjoy the ray tracing in the game.
I've seen it maxed out before and it makes the game, drop dead gorgeous.

I'm actually playing MD right now, going through the 3rd DLC. I like alot what they did in MD and it's a great game. I mean it got like 8's and 9's across the board from review sites, as much as you can't trust them.

It's good, play it. The online story is dumb as fuck tho, obviously. I think alot of people got rubbed the wrong way with that.

IKR It's just one of those games that comes along at the right time and does everything right. It happened when the stealth genre had been pretty much declared dead by the gaming press and CEOs of gaming studios, and people were looking for a resurgence to grab onto. It gave players a competent stealth system in addition to shooting mechanics and rpg mechanics. It hit all the right notes storywise. An interesting plot full of mystery and conspiracy that had a lot of details for players to notice on repeat play throughs.

Good voice acting, good music, great setting, great writing, interesting characters, compelling themes in the story, and it's probably at least 30-40 hours long. It's honestly one of my favorite games.

It's more than a cliffhanger. It legit does not feel like a finished story. It'd be like if Empire Strikes Back was just the battle on Hoth.

I would assume those are complete stories though. A massive cliffhanger doesn't mean it's an incomplete story, look at God of War 2 and God of War 2018.

I think of it as the game nobody asked for instead of the sequel everyone wanted. It wasn't terrible, but it's incredibly unsatisfying.

I did say "I would assume". So what makes Half-Life 2 an incomplete story? Again, a massive cliffhanger does not mean it's story was unfinished.
