Still no AI even close to the Original Series.
They now fixed 1200 bugs AGIAIN and wrote that like they're proud about it.
Game Still runs like Crap.
And now with the newest update it wasnt enough to have 120gb free space for said update, some poeple saying they needed 400gb+ free space to install that update, not even f'ing updates they can do right ....

Sorry but it should never have been released in that sad state, and im getting really pissed off because of it.

The one DLC i do not like, a "Pirate" themed dlc without anything that Aid pirateing, the story is creativ, the ships are cool but thats about it, and that does outweight the one flaw i have with DLC.

Oh also this new faction will not only eat you alive ingame, but thanks to they're mass ammount of ships they will also eat your PC alive.

My favorite Race in the X universe is back, and man they have good looking Stuff.

i write those reviews way to late so i dont really remember alot of the story but i do remember that this one was good, and oh boy the music is also really good (something that is a continuation in the series) overall i really enjoyed this DLC.

There it is, the ship i love, newly made and so good looking.

The OG one is still better in my mind, just because it has more guns, but this one here, it just looks so good, and the Hangar is amazing. Kinda disapointed that Egosoft has two locked doors in that Ship, i would have loved a Capatains quartr and something like a scince lab (since its an exploration ship (ish)).

Still a Positive review for me, and since i allready invested around 20 years of playing this series on and off, i will happly give Egosoft my money if that means ill get more content.

Quite different to what the X Universe does normally, but since im played them since the very first one i really enjoyed that we could replay historical (in the X universe atleast) moments.
I also had no problem finishing all of them, i heard many other had but oh well.
The ships you get for breezing trough the Scenarios are "interesting" and one of them got to be my new playership, i wont spoil what new ships are there, even tough you can see them on the Store Page lol.

I do kinda understand the frustation poeple have with that, but its clearly stated on the store page what this dlc is so it - atleast - should not have been a suprise to them.

Summary:
I Quite enjoyed this DLC, the new Ships are great.
The nostalgia is just to strong in this one to not give it a good review on my end.

Sony now also has lifted the Selling Ban on all Countries but Ruzzia (nobody cares), they also removed the PSN Account requirement quite a while Back and i did say i will change my Review when they do both of that, so here we are.

Would i recommend this game?
No.

But you did say you will change your review!
I did, but in the meanwhile AH (the Devs) started to make Warbonds with less content while putting the Missing content into the Super Store, so you have to Pay more money.

Also, AH is really Bad at Balancing and can only Nerf everything, also with every Update new absolutly avoidable Bugs appear. Like the latest one, where we could call in our Hellpots without any cooldown, making litterally Walls made out of Turrets.
They could easly avoided that Bug by Playing they're own Patch for 2 Minutes ...
Then they fixed that bug but then like 50% of the time your Keyboard Inputs where just lost when ordering a Stratgem ...
And the list keeps Growing.

So yeah, thats the reason why i still wont recommend Helldivers 2. Greed and Stupidity.

Bumpy Start wich - and i assume here - was caused by releasing early because of confusing timezones.

But now it Runs really well, much more responsive then in any Emulator or Mobile, much faster UI elements (like they dont need some miliseconds to appear, you click its there), better Graphics then on Mobile and Controller support works really well and is easy to understand, even then you can rebind everything.

I played this game Alot on different Emulators and thus know that the Story is really good, you play as your Own Character in the time of the SAO incident.
I wont really write much more about it because of Spoilers because yes, like i said, the story is really good.

Graphics are Okay, its an Old (6 years) Mobile game so dont except a graphics explosion or something.

The Gacha (or monetization for us Western Poeple) is okay, the Devs do have lot of Free "Pulls" and you can get the Premium currency realitiv easy, and if i look at other Mobile Gacha games its dirt cheap to buy stuff with Real Money, wich in the end you dont need to do at all.

If you are SAO fan you will really like this game, and if you are not but you know some JRPG's, you will do like this game also, dont really know if someonme who isnt into Anime would like it.

And thats about all, its free to play, the story it has is really nice (and not done yet) so for that alone its worth to check out.

Sword Art Online: Lost Song, a - Suprisingly - Enjoyable Game

Unless we talk about the Janky old Console controls that is.
But one of the Biggest Suprises was that this game is like 99% Voiced, there is ONE quest that is not Voiced and ill think it is because it was Added after the Release in 2015.

Well, like i said the Controls are Janky, Aiming with a Bow or Spells is not nice, atleast i had trouble of "selecting" the right target most of the times.
The running/sprinting animations are Hilarious if you do look at them, but then again its a 2015 Console game.

Graphic wise, well i mean if you can live with somewhat old Graphics you are Fine, the world itself is pretty blocky overall, the Characters itself are Okay however.

The story is Good, the "new" Characters are Interesting (however, since i played Fatal Bullet first, they're where no suprises for me).

Well anyhow, i make this short now.

Graphics: Okay, it is a 2015 game
Music: Fiting and Good
Gameplay: Okay
Story: Good
Fanservice: Yes!

Overall i would give this game a 6/10
I would give it more but i just cant with those Controls, also, if you are anything like me and dont want to play Kirito, you will take a while to understand that all the Side Quests are only aviable when you play Kirito.
I Arrived at the Last area when i finaly relized this, and felt really stupid.
Worth to play if you are SAO Fan, for everyone else not really.

Short Spoiler for everyone who Likes SAO overall:
They even have Lux as a Playable Character in This, however, without looking it up how to unlock her its really unlikely that anyone would ever unlock her.
For poeple that dont know Lux, shes a Character from the Girls' Ops Manga - oh and that manga is worth a watch too.

Fatal Bullet, a good game that could have been much more.

The story is Good and you grow to like all the Characters pretty fast, the only thing that is missing there is some Background on some of the Characters that came from other games.
And what the heck happend that for example Yuuki is still there, in general some Background info is missing.
(I did not played the other games and it was midly confusing to see all those new(old) characters)

It hits the MMO part really good without beeing an MMO to begin with, wich is really sad.
You have a ton of different Weapons, they're all can drop up to Level 11, and then you also have errrm ... 6? Different rarities AND up to 8 "Chips" that modify your Equip.
All of that (minus where the stuffs drops ofc) is up to RNG to drop.
Wich would be fine if you could run arround with Real players in slightly bigger Maps, but you cant its a mere singleplayer game as of the Date i wrote it (around 200 players playing).

That brings up the Point i dont like about this Singleplayer Game, the shear ammount of MMO style grinding you have to do to Progress, since your Stats dont up your Damage you need to get better Gear.
After 20 Hours of playing - and suprisingly not dieing that much - i started using a Trainer because i wanted to progress with the Story. It still took quite the while to finish the game however.
Now at 42 Hours i finished the game and even got the "True" Ending without knowing what i needed to do for it.

Warning There are Some Spoilers following.

You may ask why i still needed 42 hours to finish the Main Story, well im one of those Person who will suck up every little drip and drop of Story - and then after sink into the endless Realms of Wikis and the Internet in General, when i like the Game/Series/Movies/Universe that is.
Plus, there is a Romance system in it, wich gives one soooooo much Content - and in case of Yuuki so much sadness ._.
So naturally i progressed to bring up almost all characters up to 4 to get all the Content and was suprised that there isnt much for all the OG Cast and other Games Characters - until i unlocked Kirito Mode where oyu chase down Death Gun and get all the "Content" scenes with the others - from Kiritos POV.
And apperently this is needed to get the True ending, the first two ending are Legit that you only can save one Person - Kureha (the Main Characters lost Childhood friend) or Zeliska (who is an GGO Admin), so it was an .. well easy choice tbh.
Anyhow whatever choice you take, you get the Option to "Rewind Time" to save your Friends. After that you get from your Afasys a Charm Item, wich enables you to Kill the last Boss and Save your Friends.
So i did ended up with all Three endings.

Spoiler End.

So what could the Dev dne different? Easy - not setting up the game as an MMO and then NOT making it Multiplayer.
You might get confused by this because the Store Page and even I said that this game has Multiplayer, but all the MP it has is doing some Coop missions (aka boss hunt) or some PvP - no free Roaming.
If the Maps where Slightly bigger and Connected to each other without the need of Loading Screens (its UE4, its possible), and you could encounter Other Real Players out there, the game would be still alive an healthy.
In short, its the normal Bandai Anime game wich could have been much more.

Now that this done, lets get some TL:DR.

Graphic: Good because UE4 offers alot.
Content: Alot
Story: Enjoyable
Music: Really Fitting
Grinding: To much
Fan Service: Heck Yes!

Overall if i would give it numbers, a solid 8/10.
To much MMO style Grinding, while beeing a 99% Singleplayer Game.

Oh, i didnt meantioned the DLC's? Well, im not done with them Yet, the last DLC plays after the True ending so i will defently Edit this to Include the DLC's.
(So far, the 10€ price tag for the First three are not worth it at all - like legit 10 minutes of content lol - but i only paid 22€ for the Game including all DLC's)

Well, heres my very short comment on the Fourth DLC, its defently worth the price tag for me, be it just for the biggest of suprises and sadness ._.


Also as a side note, when you played this game, watch SAO S3 Episode 1 again, the GGO Part, look at the Billards Table ;D

Well then, Bethesda did it again and Sold sorta Skyrim again.

Okay its just all the CC content for an incredible low Price (even better with the X-mas discount).
And this is also the whole reason why it gets a "Thumbs Up" from me, the price is unmatching, altough, i rather would give it neutral Review if there where such thing.

Why? Well the update that came with with DLC broke mods und a whole different level this time, and Many Modders are "retiered" because they tought that Skyrim is now Done Done.
But this time the update broke something with Mods and it is apperently really hard to repair.

Yes i only have like an hour Play time here, and even with the Normal Skyrim version not so much, but you can belive me that i played it alot more - infact i think it is my second most played game out there.
