Machine People.... Yeet.

ArmA 3 is Bohemia Interactive's Military Simulation game released in late 2013 and a successor to their acclaimed ArmA 2 released back in mid 2009. The reason I'm reccommending this game is because of it's playability on a grand scale. I started playing it back in early 2014 And since then, I'm still discovering new ways to play this game, and still loving the old a great ones. But I'll go through some pros and cons. So it's not totally biased.

Pros:

Grand Scale Warfare.
If you're just recently coming from a game like Battlefield or CoD or any other FPS war game looking for something more big, or you're just wanting a big realistic map to drive a tank around, this is for you! ArmA 3 comes out of the box with a 270 km2 mediterrainian map named 'Altis' with everything from hills, towns, airports and military bases, based off the real island 'Lemnos' in the middle of the mediterrainian sea. It also comes with it's sister island, much smaller in size, clocking in around 20 km2 named 'Stratis'. And their buyable DLC 'Apex' which comes with their Pacific jungle terrain at about 100 km2. There is something for everyone, and the grand scale in a game with the ratio of detail is unmatched.

Realistic Bullet Physics.
In A3 bullets act how they're supposed too. Trying to shoot a sniper zero'd in at 600 metres and a man 200 metres away is likely not going to hit, but go over his head. So naturally having the correct range is key. Bullets have proper peneration with a 45 .ACP round not penerating a wall decently, in comparison to a 7.62 round flying through it. The bullets follow proper drop like you'd expect, and they even have rebounding! (Oh the times I've trolled my friends firing at their feet, it rebounding and killing them...Woopsie).

Awesome vehicles.
The use of Tanks and aircraft is just amazing, they have a good range of all kinds of vehicle types. From civilian trucks and offroads, to NATO tanks and a artillery truck that looks like a mobile SAM turrent. And the jets that make you piss your pants when they buzz you and they're not your team.

Sandbox Style Game.
This is probably the biggest part of A3, and it's the pure creativity of the community. With the use of a workshop and mod support. And the ability to simply create missions and upload them to the workshop. This game stretches out from all the things I mentioned and becomes a really good game. I believe mods help games blossom and shoudn't be used to reflect on the game in a negative way.

Cons:

Clunky.
Although the game is a mil sim, the game can get really clunky. From odd movements and annoying vaulting animations, this game can get really irritating when you're running for you life with a hail mary of bullets behind you, and you're sprinting to vault over a fence, and your character lazily vaults over it, like you're taking a nice casual stroll. It can really make you want to throw your keyboard.

Bulls*** AI:
The AI can be challenging and fun a lot of the time. But sometimes, they can be bloody irriating. The fact that they can work out the exact area to shoot you in the head from 300 metres after firing two rounds can really get on your nerves. And this is apparent to newer players. The learning curves on how to take AI out efficently can be annoying, but sticking with it can help, although it shouldn't really be like "Sticking with it", the AI should just be decent ;)

Overpriced DLC.
Now ultimately I can't say sh**, as I own all of them, but the DLC are way too overpriced for what they actually are. Helicopters gives you two Helis and the ability to sling load vehicles in a Huron for 12.00 USD, Marksman which I didn't mind paying as much for as it gives you seven new weapons that can be used for long range, including new scopes, better Ghillie suits and a remote laser designator. Is a little bit more bang for you buck, unlike the one I mentioned above. And Karts is kind of useless unless you feel like being a go-kart master and thank god only costs 2.00 USD. Probably the most expensive and the most debated on weither it's worth it's rather big price tag is Apex, including the Tanoa map I mentioned above, clocking in at about 35.00 USD, which is kind of horrible considering ArmA 3 itself is about 40.00 USD, five dollars above the DLC. Alright, I won't mention any more about the DLC.

Bad optimzation.

Now before people say "Get a better PC Scrub". I do have a fairly average PC, but I'm not getting at that. The game has been known for it's rather ♥♥♥♥♥♥ optimization, and the fact it is 32 bit, it's not fully using the memory efficiently. The game has been known to run at like 40 frames for people with really good PC's, and although it was a huge improvement from A2, it still needs more work, hopefully they can fix this in the upcoming months.

Bugs.
Need I say more? Bugs are irritating as ♥♥♥♥, although not as common as back in 2014, some are still there, and can be really annoying.

Anyway, that's my summary of ArmA 3, feel free to debate any of the topics with me, I'm more than welcome. Thanks for reading this far, I appreciate it. All and all, ArmA 3 is a must have for PC gamers, due to it's massive community and it's creative elements, that truly turn this from a good game, to a great game.

cheers!

Pay more money on DLC than your heisters get out of a bank robbery.

21/10 would ♥♥♥♥ up Brotherhood of Steel so I can witness an explosion that would make Michael Bay piss himself again.

Amazing, a simple but yet very effective and thought-bringing interative story. Well worth my hour and It would of been worth money. Good job to you!

UPDATED REVIEW!

"Great game. For early Alpha does have a lot of content. May not be the best game out, but still worth a good old $30. You will spend quite a lot of time in the Walking Simulator. ;)" -2014

it's been about two years since I wrote that, Now DayZ has had a lot of bad updates as many have known *cough* 0.55 *cough*. But I can firmly say after playing the 0.60 experimental servers for the past couple of weeks, I can say that this game really has risen up to the challenge, we're finally starting to see the content we've been waiting for to be added and it's here now, if you're thinking of getting into DayZ, now is a good time. Due to it's lower price than it's beta price will be, and it's new Direct X 11 renderer coming in next update and currently available on experimental, I would recommend trying it out! Over the past two years I can still recommend this game due to it's fanbase, the dev team that take so much crap for this game, and yet still push foward, even if the development processs is quite slow, it still does a great job being what it is, and that isn't a Walking Simulator, but a Looting Simulator

Give it a try!
