I played this game once during a free weekend, and now there is another.
So what have I learned? Well... I want this game. :) Buy me it.

Quick summary of the game good and bad:
1. Survival done well
2. Dino's are deadly be ready to think you are playing dark souls.
3. This game looks amazing
4. This game is fun to play with friends, aswell as alone.
5. Death is part of the game, so if you can't take being repeatedly killed by other players or dino's. This is not a game for you.
6. Hardcore mechanics. Yes I am talking about defecateing. Not many games have the nuts to add it. But this one does.
7. You can ride dino's.
8. You can tame and train dino's. WHO DOESN'T WANT THAT?!!!. :3
9. Realism, because punching trees damages your hands, as it should. None of this super macho man minecraft balony.
10. Good netcode. -> Many players doesn't mean super laggy.

And one final observation: Your friends can be your worst enemies in survival games with dino's.
So what do I rate this game?
8/10 would buy, should buy

That being said, someone gifting me this would be greatly apreciated. :3

10 / 10!!!
Why? Do I hear you mumble?
Because my dear friend, this is a space game. A space trading / combat game. Technicaly its a sim and not a game since its sandbox and without story. But who realy cares about semantics at this point.

This game is one of the best space trading sims I have ever seen.
Sure it has some bugs but it definitely deserves your money more than money hungry thieving rascals such as Elite: Dangerous.

Lets just go into some specifics of why you should buy this game if not already convinced by my beautifull 10/10.

If you are not into any of all that then you are a sad and deeply disturbed person to whom I have no desire to speak with any further.
Unless you are just not into space games, then I forgive you.

But on a serious note now. This is one of the best spacegames I have ever seen, and I am comparing this with games such as freelancer and despite all of the awesomeness freelancer was, I would pick this game over freelancer. And that. Is achievement worthy.

Do you like taking long strolls through an alien infested spaceship? Fending for your life with limited ammunition and a job to do?
Do you like being jumpscared by naughty aliens who love corners? Say no more. You will love this game.

Space Beast Terror Fright is an arcade style roguelike FPS intentionaly trying to be very hard.
And it tends to succeed at both the terror and the fright.
I don't think there can be anything more frighning that the motion tracker alerting you something is heading your way. Any you have no idea where its comming from.

When I first looked at this game I though it couldn't be that great but after my friend bought me it and I tried it. I found out its actualy great fun. The scares, atmosphere and constant feeling of being hunted makes the experience great. And while all that, your objective is to download intel (and by doing so aquire upgrades), after that you overload the reactor to blow the ship up. And escape.

However this is easier said than done. And bringing in your friends can hinder you more than assist.
Since you will have to split some upgrades, and there is the friendly fire danger. Not to mention your friends may do stupids getting all of you killed.

Its a great challenge and has currently at this version several modes:
Corridoors, dungeons and maze (for the love of god don't try maze even on easy till you are trained up.)
The difference between the modes decides the layout of the ship each mode adding its own ups and downs.

Every map will be a random seed (unless the party leader sais otherwise.)
There are currently only two types of weapons, rifle and shotgun, thats a bit sad cause there is basicly no weapon variety.

The difficulties are easy, hard, extreme but don't be fooled. easy can be VERY HARD.
You will most likely die many times untill you get the strategies leaned and even then, death is just a second too slow on turning arround. Or trusting too much in the movement scanner. Take none of your upgrades for granted because YOU WILL LOSE THEM, very VERY often.

If you enjoy a challenge, you will enjoy this game. Oh and eugm... IF you do get hit, you will die.

Todays review: Arma3

Short Scorebased review: (Longer review below.)

Overall [73/90]
Singleplayer [7/10] - The game is hard you would do well to save as often as possible.

Multiplayer [8/10] - Its great for multiplayer, sadly the in-game browser still lacks refresh button and fails to ever find the server you want to find. On a properly forwarded server still stakes 30m - 1hour of tinkering for your friends to find it.

Vehicles [ 7/10] - Vehicles are cool, plentiful, feel well balanced and responsive

Weapons [9/10] - Lots of weapons, with now as added bonus you can customize them.

Multiplayer Missions [3/10] - Couple of premade missions, most of them proof of concepts no real fun to be had untill you download some from workshop or armaholic. I recommend playing my zeus based map which is like playing with a dungeon master who can spawn everything and anything. If not that use their awesome easy to use editor and make one yourself!

Editor [6/10] - It works, but doing advanced stuff requires lots of google usage lots of wiki diving and being best friends with the bohemia interactive website. Also doesn't generate a full mission as it does not include some sort of default description.ext in the mission file.

DLC[33/40]
1. Zeus [10/10] - Play as a dungeon master, make a scenario on the go. & Its free.
2. Karting [8/10] - Make races, drive in karts and wear the arma 3 karting outfit, adds racing elements for race lovers.
3. Marksman [9/10] - Adds weapons, loadouts, weaponmods, some items, facepaint, garrage ... Its good, trust me.
4. Helicopter [6/10] - Adds two helicopters, and helicopter pods. Adds sling loading (aka pick stuff up and drop it elsewhere)

Long review below:

If you have played Arma 2 and loved it you will love arma 3.
Its the same game with better graphics, a lot of additions and great changes.
Anyone can just say that though so lets get into some specific as to why arma 3 is a great game.
For fans of the series and for new players.

Lets start with some points for new players.

Arma 3 is a realistic military combat simulator. Or that is at least what i'm going to call it.
Every iteration seems to contain 2 big landmasses. One is generally a lot bigger.

In this case the big landmass you'll probably find yourself always playing on is "Altis".
Its big, varied from mountainous to large flats and has a small dessert.

The game comes with many vehicles for both ground, air and water transportation as well as combat. We have well known vehicles and newer "imaginary" versions based on existing vehicles.
There are also UAV's that CAN be controlled by a single or multiple players.

As for the gameplay.
You play as the traditional teams Bluefor, Opfor, Independant or Civilian.
Movement system is great, feels very fluid and responsive.
Vehicles can be damaged as a whole or you can shoot out their tires/engine/...

Realistic physics allow for some HOLY **** moments. No Seriously if you have no idea how physics apply to fast moving vehicles this game will teach you by making your car roll over at high speed bends, or lets not forget the time I drove a truck on top of a plane hangar because I hit a quadbike, then bounced up onto a sand barrier, which launched me in the correct angle and with my speed I made it up there. Then I asked an admin for salvation because falling off was certain death!

Player damage can range from "just a fleshwound" to holy **** my ****** leg is gone... MEDIC!!!!!
If you get shot in a leg you won't be able to run etc...
+10 for pain "uhhhh" "ahhhh" "uuuuuuuuhhhh...."

Arma 3 is mainly a big sandbox. Missions can let you roam all of it or just a small AO. Still you know at all times that everything you see is somewhere you can go.

Almost all buildings can be entered and interestingly with enough explosives, almost all of them can be destroyed into nothing but ruble too.

For veteran players:
Its arma 2 with better graphics. And some improvements. The old maps can still be played and included with mods.
WARNING BUTTON BINDINGS MAKE SENSE NOW
G = GRENADE i = INVENTORY

Car mirrors now actually work.
Lots of overhauls to the core game systems.
Helicopters from the DLC pack now can lift, cars, vehicles, boxes,...
In-game server browser is still ♥♥♥♥.

Arma 3 has a launcher which allows you to play without battleeye if you don't want your computer data compromised.

NO SERIOUSLY BEFORE ACCEPTING READ THE TOS FOR USING BATTLEEYE I THINK MOST PEOPLE WOULD DISAGREE IF THEY ACTUALY READ IT, YOU CAN STILL PLAY WITHOUT AGREEING TO IT

Arma 3 zeus maps, aka make your own fun on the go, its a sandbox dungeon master, ITS FUN, try it.
Arma 3 has arma 3 dayz epoch, its great, try it if you love zombie survival.
Racing is now possible. Karting and other vehicles too.

AI are improved, no longer retarded and are deadly at close and long range. Expect to be fighting them like trained professionals because they will wreck you.

For the rest its basicly the same as Arma 2. I guess. Simply, if you liked Arma 2 then buy this one... You'll love it... Its worth it.
Thank you for your time.

Free weekend, download it because I can, can start up the game without problems.
Then get in the game after setting everything up.
Can't play the game because there is a whole bunch of blackness making unwanted love to my screen.

Realise game requires newer graffics card.
Don't have money to buy one.

Blame the game. No but seriously on the serious note. I can play lots of games fine but some games like this, farcry and watchdogs just seem to have something build in to stop people with lower graffics cards from playing them regardless of having DX11 and being able to play other DX11 games just fine.

So if you don't have the graffics requirements sure maybe I should check, but if stuff just appears in my inventory I don't. So now I wasted bandwidth, and my time downloading this game. So my opinion of it is ... **** it.

I have the earlier games 1-4 and il play them because the new one just denies me to.
So my review will be as the developers choice is for not allowing lower spec graffics cards to play.
I can't play, so il thumb it down. When you fix the arbitary blockade. I might reconsider.

For the rest, despite having my eyes stabbed, this game is the same as the ones before, buy the old ones, they are better.

I can't even. Give it a score without..., I will just have to tell you about it for you to understand.

First off, at the starting scene there are no voice actors for the characters involved, just REALY FAST text that passes you by. Also you have no idea ♥♥♥♥♥ is going on.
Then you get thrown into the game.

I tried interacting with EVERYTHING I could think of, no way out of the first room. (And i'm not going to spoil how to beat the room eighter) after about 30 minutes YES 30 MINUTES of searching I finaly find the most abstract things you have to do to leave. And am thrown into another room wich also took 20 minutes to solve.

As I struggle tirelessly to interact and be repeatedly killed by a single foe in a sertain bs room.
I get to a room with lots of water, you are supposed to somehow escape by fixing an underwater core. That requires you, and I ♥♥♥♥ you not... To litteraly launch yourself like a dolphin onto a platform wich takes like 50 tries.

Some of my friends come to me for help with these kinds of games cause they are "Too easy and obvious" this only is so abstract you need to actualy have the patience of a saint. Btw I was promised to be shooting things with guns. 4 hours in, stuch on like the 5th room. I finaly ragequit. 4 HOURS people. This game has interesting puzzles but my god are the abstract, hard to solve because there is no serious indication of what you have to do as a goal. You just "Figure it out yourself"

I was watching a walkthrough on the side, and even people who do walkthrought for these type of games had no idea what the ♥♥♥♥ was actualy going on... In fact it took longer for them to solve it than me for atleast as far I got.
This game is rage inducing. And i'm generaly pretty calm.
So what would I rate this and what do I think of it.

Puzzle Design: -3 "Some are just a bit long winded and difficult."
Map Design: -5 "I have no idea where or what the ♥♥♥♥ I should be interacting with."
Graffics: 7 "Looks good, even for my old pc."
Plot: -7 "After 4 hours I am yet to find a plot."
UI: 8 "Easy to use, very bad system for panic situations."
Gameplay: 1 "Game is too hard and abstract at current."

Final conclusion:
The game is as fun as grabbing a bag of,... lets say grain, then emptying that bag into an airvent making it be blow all over and throughout a skyscraper and then tasking someone with finding all of the grain, piece by piece.
Just as fun as trying to find anything you ever need and just not finding it for hours on end. And then realising you are missing something else,... The search continues.

My point is, games are supposed to be fun. This game in the 4 hours of time I gave to try and be entertained. I was not entertained. I did not have fun. And thus this game failed to do what its supposed to. And before anyone goes, well you just don't like this type of game. Actualy I generaly don't, and wouldn't normaly buy a game like this, but I do enjoy some of them. They are fun when they make sense, and you feel like you are actualy progressing and doing something worth your time. This game did not make me feel like it was worth my time.

I will make my best efforts to finish a game, and aslong as there is some kind of fun to be had I can keep going. But this game is not a game I will ever finish. I rarely review games, but I just felt like I had to on this one. If you want to buy this game for the "shooting any type of gun" aspect, I adivise you don't touch it with a 20 foot pole. Because like me, you will never, ever, get there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit:
I recently made a lets play / walkthrough vid, I will be doing a series on this game with me speaking my mind about the game. You can find the vid here: http://youtu.be/rXqHieo2RJs

Great game. Community has alot of rotten apples in a sence that elitism occurs alot.

I suggest, play with friends in your team. And only with friends. Expect alot of verbal abuse.
But to be fair, its fun and competative. Although in order to be actualy able to beat even the bots, you have to read up on how your character works, how theirs work, and how the attribute system works.

If you don't first do the tutorial and pay attention people will get pissed off at you for playing multiplayer.
So whats my review?

Game itself: Good.
Community: Not the best but there are nice people there.
Replayability: Just as replayable as counter-strike, every match everyone starts from scratch. However every match is new and different.
Would I recommend this? If you have patience to learn how everything works you can have fun. If you are impatient and don't like learning, endlessly looking at wikis and trying to improve yourself. Then walk away.

My rating? 7/10
