This is remake of my Review but this is what FF14 is becoming and please try to prove me wrong...
First they love and I mean love using the word "critically acclaimed" maybe it was long ago but now its a copy paste game.

First DT was just a bad expansion for me at least this is pure opinion as honestly its a matter of taste not omg its so bad.
They took my favourite job, once one of the most complex and rewarding, and turned it into a brain dead button-masher. It’s now by far the most noob-friendly class in the game. Why? Because it’s easier to design content around simple jobs. Less depth, fewer bugs, easier balance, but at the cost of identity and mastery. And this trend will continue.

No Reinvestment, Only Cash Shops. Yes, the game got more successful. But where did that money go? Certainly not back into FFXIV’s development. Instead: Cash shop updates got more frequent and more expensive. Major patches take longer. Expansions are now spaced further apart, but with no actual increase in content. So its not less content its just longer wait time for the same content... But also maybe DT is going to last 1 year extra... nice... so nice... Im sure we will get 1 year of extra content to make up for it right? (This part could be false and I really damn hope it is as wth? we gone wait almost another year to end expansion and get nothing just "ohh we want to fix the timeline so just um no content as we dont want to chance expectations or anything")

So where’s the reinvestment? Where’s the return for the players funding all this?
If we’re getting less frequent content, why is the subscription price still the same?
Over and over copy pasted content.
The fate system has never worked since ARR yet still present in game. Its boring and compared to GW2 a massive downgrade. Like you tried now maybe at least copy their work rather than reuse the much worse version of your own. PVP is as bad as ever, its just boring and slow and the server delay just kills any joy of it. They do all balancing around CC mode yet purposely make that mode non existent. No daily roulette no tome rewards nothing. FL has rewards yet all balancing there is just out the window.

New cosmic exploration is just Macro spam. Thats it. Thats all it is. Macro after macro or if you are a gatherer. than you get to gather for 2 min and than wait 3-5min for GP to recover before you can do anything else... Wow so much testing done so much effort put into it. Ohh you can reach 500k points for every crafting/gathering class and you get a resking mount.... Ignore the fact it takes over 500h or just enough to learn basic drawing skills or get a simple grasps of a new language. But you get a different colour of mount thats has an easy version to get... Like Why not make it a 8 player mount, epic mecha for those that put in the time. No? just recolour pre existing mount? okey...

Still no housing update but now that 300k players dropped out, Devs finally care about Viera and Hrotgar players so they are finally after years and years of asking, adding a bit extra support for them. Its not in game yet so hard to say if its even gone be big or just like 10 hats.

Worst of all, the devs now say: “Just take a break from the game.”
Alright, sure. But if you're encouraging people to unsub and step away, maybe: Turn off housing demolition timers. Reduce sub costs. Recognise that when people leave, queue times go up, making the game worse for the people who stay. You can’t have it both ways.

Obviously there a lot of good but right now I dont know. I can already predict the next 5 expansions. I get having familiar modes come back in new expansion means you know what to excpect but maybe try to shake things up a lot more? Of course things like Trials and Alliance raids are a ton of fun, challenging (at least the first few weeks) but not super punishing yet far better than dungeons that are just too basic to ever feel alive in them. Than you get Extreme and yea those are hella fun. Only thing I hate is again server delay it just makes it harder sometimes because by the time you see the player move on your screen they have moved 1s ago. This means in random groups coordinating with just reflex rather than pre assigned position is almost impossible yet it wouldn't be if the delay was not part of the experience. In general that kills immersion you see people run in spot because they stopped running but game still has to show them running for 1s before it updates you.

Hunts are fun though are also the only thing that brings back any community stuff in the zone so outsider of that its a dead zone 3 weeks into launch. Oh and if like 100 or more players partake you can get lucky and the game wont bother rendering any dmg from mechanics you fail because it has too many players to hit everyone, :D. In general I would say its a maybe not a no or yes. But since I can only chose one for now and not knowing what the future holds for the game. I would say No. I wont stop playing now, but I dont think devs care either. Ill wait for 8.0 to see how badly they turn every class into streamlined version of one another and see how PVP goes and than make a decision.

I was gone play this game but I hate fomo and this game is 100% that. No reason to do it yet choses to do it so f it. It also takes a lot of good parts of warframe and ruins them.

I'm not a fan of this dlc. They said we would take a step back and act as mentor and yea... we have no purpose in the story at all. Like I like being mentor but this is not even close. We let people do stupid stuff, we let villains wreck havoc and we just stand there, never actually doing anything (other than like 2 times in story and one of the big times does not even matter as another character completely takes the show).

Story quality is extremely bad. Most mmos have those horrid side quests you read when you really shouldn't. This expansion is all of those bad side quests crammed into a main quests. You were supposed to have fun and go on vacation yet this was just a horrid journey trying to teach someone nothing and doing nothing other than observing.

Its sad to see bad side of gaming community attacking a game that never was the problem. Discussing is the word for them.

This game is a gem. Its amazing and worth playing. Its co op is a bit restrictive in a sense that you cant go far from each other but other than that. I love it. I am terrible at it ofcourse but I never played it that much still. It was challenging you to think few steps ahead to succeed.

Ehh I loved this franchise but it seems they are taking the route of since there are whales who will pre order the dlc for any price they will start increasing the price to as much as they can and try to get as much money from them and those that cant afford such high increase for the dlc can wait for 50% off and they will still get their money if later, so why not charge a lot now and make more money.

They are anti feedback on anything they dont care about consumers now probably because its the last warhammer game so they might as well exploit the living out of it before moving on. If you do get this game never get it full price because this company does not respect you.

took him more then 7 years to remove content and call it an update to the final release! this game is bad, dev hides behind saying hes perfectionist and so it takes him 2 years to make a screenshot of the stuff hes going to add to the game only to then disappear for years again and add nothing. This game is far from perfectionism, it was so much better before the steam release now you step onto 1 cube outside your zone boom all stats 0, start again lol. After years of updates we have gotten nothing for this game. I hate trove but if you want a game like this but actually fun go play that instead, it will be a far more pleasant experience then this game. There really nothing good to say about it.
I understand some indie devs struggle but he hid for years so the hate he got was well deserved, he had so much support for this game back in the day and rightly so. The game showed promise and people did not care for slow development because its a solo dev game but over the years of doing nothing and ignoring community for no reason he could just have said he cant work on the game or anything sure it would have been a bad blow to the community but at least people who fought to defend him would not have wasted their time for years only to realise this was basically a scam. so even the devoted turned against him and again he 100% deserved it going avol for years as that has no excuse does not matter if your solo or not. Slow development is, well slow but at least it means game is going somewhere even if its bad what he did was disappear for years then remove content and call it update for the final release...

Really like this game its simple cut stuff up push it to the right place and get paid, yet each spaceship can have its problem though at the start you will have basic gameplay but as the game goes one spaceships get bigger and can have problems you have to overcome in order to not die and be able to make maximum profit out of them rather then getting them destroyed, you get neat upgrades some are meh as just minor stat boost but some do change what you can do or how effectively you can do them most important one for me was better oxygen tank as when ships get bigger you need more time from the base before you crack them open and start selling but increasing grapiling strength means you can push parts easier wich can save you cash and time

I think it good to have grail knight and his dlc seperatly because if you just want the class then here you go its 2.99 but if you gone spend more time to get his challanges then you here you can pay for full price i would expect dlc to cost

My top new favourite shooter. What makes this game awesome for me is that it has ton of operators to chose from that add some difference to gameplay but at the end its a shooter at heart it doesn't matter what gadget you got as long as you can aim you'll do fine. Overwatch has many heros to chose from but unlike R6, overwatch is heavy in team play so if you random que and get a team that cant play as a team your done its end of fight there only so much you can do but in R6 team play is less important and you can single handed take out all the enemies but if you do play as a team then obviously things get much easier. Its basically Counter strike just on steroids there a lot more to think about like gadgets, destructible walls and best way to stay away from cameras to avoid being spotted but also trying to spot enemies on your camera gadgets. There a ton to do yet it never feels like too much if anything it just feels right.. like its just meant to be.

When i started i never used to care about my drone at the start of match I just used it to find objective and scan enemies for points now I still do that but I actually try to keep it from being destroyed and try to hide it somewhere I get advantage of spying on enemies. I never even used to use my second drone you get but now its my most used gadget there so much power in info you cant ignore.

Its a fun game and with many operators you can find your preferred play style, only thing i hate is having a ban phase now in ranked as now that means you can have your favourite operator removed which is not fun at all which there was 2 ranked ques those that want bans and those that dont. They also removed other modes from ranked so now only bomb mode exist it was for balance but some operators have no use in bomb mode due to increased area even if they concentrate one bomb side they still offer little, castle is great but with so many operatotors on attacking side that counter him hes becomes a bad pick and required a good team work to make him work which usually you can save that teamwork for better operator in first place this does make it harder for both teams and more fun i guess since two objectives mean 2 choices for both sides. in one game we decided to put all our effort to one bomb side and it worked because they decided to put all their attack effort to one site too it was hard fought battle but if we had split up to defend both it would have been a loss plus getting to the other bomb site would have cost them time and we would notice as there was no silent way to get to it which mean we could defend one bomb site and just listen if he hear breaching we know they are going for the other bomb site if we dont we know they are coming here.

Only thing that can really ruin the game are smurfs and cheaters but i find their anti cheat system far better then that of CS GO its not perfect but its better.

Well i no longer get dc from servers not sure if they fixed it or just luck though. So far the game is great i could not build the knight i wanted because of items being locked away by level requirements so I ended up only playing archer and ill say archery here is not like chiverly where you felt like you could easily own people here its much harder to pull off, arrows travel very slow and have high drop of meaning you need to be close with bows do be of use to the team you can also snipe but its a lot harder then just staying up close but with elevation advantage. SO if your worried archer gone be op here they are not they can mess up your day but more often then not you get hit by an archer once every now and then and its usually just loosing 30-50 health and thats it archer moves on to the next target as he probably lost you now unless your coming after him as there so many player archer have to many targets and they dont always hit because of their very slow projectile speeds,

The game is fun even as beginner you have certain classes prebuild for you so you dont need to level up to access certain gear as you can select those prebuild hero's I just wanted my own style of fashion as you cant edit them but they fill most roles you would want. But once you start to build you can make interesting builds like my archer has a blacksmith hammer which allows me to build up defences so when we rush enemy base while my team takes on players i build up defences to slow down enemies to help us cap objective then i pull out my crossbow and start sniping away.

Combat feels great although i think shields are quite op but I guess i dont know how to deal with them I do know that they take for ever to kill compared to other. When i did switch to a raider for a bit it was really fun charging enemies even 2 at a time and getting my ass kicked when I played archer before i learned few things from my attacker so was able to use that knowledge to win 1-2 scenarios which was a lot of fun. Only thing i had problems with is sometimes you click things like kick yet nothing happens or you press attack or switch weapon and your character that stands not doing any of those things and thats not even when I'm being hit a guy held his shield so i smash F to kick him nothing i hit it again nothing third time boom works, started to think my keyboard is messing up but it only happens in this game so maybe its server latency not letting me or something but overall its great fun. I do feel archer are not realy big importance in the game as they do small amount of damage other then head shots but im okey with the damage regardless but their projectile speed and how easy it is to block arrows makes them mostly good to killing other archers its not that you dont feel useless against infantry but you dont really feel like your giving that much to help hence why i also went with a hammer to build defences to make up in other aspects.
