CSGO: You mean you want a battle royale
Players: No w-
CSGO: And you want the game to be free right?
Players: That's a bad ide-
CSGO: We also brought the jump glitch back
Players: Why the ♥♥♥-
CSGO: Primes also been given to anyone who has ever owned CSGO
Players: Are you guys ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ morons
CSGO: You can also buy your way into prime.

Valve you are actually ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ retarded what the ♥♥♥♥
Here's literally the simplest way we can tell you how to fix this:
- Fix VAC
- Fix Prime
- Fix Bugs
- Don't put a BR into a competitive FPS game
- And don't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ make the game free to play and then give everyone a coin for being retarded and actually buying this game.

There was zero communication between CSGO and the players, you legit just asked if we were free Wednesday, and now I wish I was busy so I never would of have to play this.

EDIT: A more structured, critical review.

I decided to try the game again to give a better review rather than just lashing out at what I saw earlier, and in a completely honest way, I'm still unhappy, but not as unhappy as I was prior. I still love this game if it is not evident by the number of hours that I have on my account. But still, I have some critiques on this.

The Battle Royale
When I heard the idea of a battle royale in CS, I was against it, they've never quite been my thing and the popularity of games like fortnite completely destroyed any hope that I had for battle royales in games. However, CSGO's battle royale does have some pros with some cons at the same time. Do take into account that I am biased against battle royales.
Pros:
- It's a fresh new take on the battle royale genre.
- Thing like escorting hostages add a great addition to the game mode as a way to get money whilst still being involved with anything around you.
- The idea of choosing and seeing where others drop is a nice feature.

Cons (take into account I am biased against battle royales):
- It doesn't fit well into a CS game, yes I understand that I don't have to play it but it does my head in that it's advertised on the main screen.
- Ammo is actually harder to find than real life aliens, the fact that you pick ammo up 1 by 1 doesn't make this any easier.
- Drones break if there is a ledge near where you are standing. I bought some ammo and the drone was confused if an inanimate wall was actually me.
- The amount of actual shake you receive when getting hit is akin to an earthquake, given I had some fun with my friends going around and bashing people to the point where it's like the Negev in warmup.
- Finally, it's a battle royale. You didn't have to follow this trend CS, even if it was planned a while ago.

Free To Play
This is one of the more concerning things that I had with the update, CS is already filled with cheaters and can sometimes make the game so irritating that I've put it down for a couple weeks. As 3kliksphilip said its probably the game with the most cheaters (Does CS:GO Updates not entertain you) But now I have some confidence in their decision for making it free to play, it allows more people to experience CS and will most likely double the population which isn't a downside. The thought that Valve has made the game free to play shows that they have confidence in VAC and that VAC will learn a lot more things due to the games new state.

Prime
This issue is one of the main reasons that this review is staying as not recommended. The idea that you can pay into prime and that people who have already bought the game will now have instant prime. This kind of makes me think that prime will be reduced to a standard trust factor match which cheaters are somewhat abundant. But if Valve is confident enough in their VAC, this shouldn't be a problem. However, the amount of cheaters who have probably been grinding enough to get prime on multiple accounts is worrying.

Valve in General
My issue with prime has nothing on this. Valve don't really know much about their audience. We believe that we are entitled due to the amount of ♥♥♥♥ they have given us in the past years (AUG Week, R8's introduction *solved quickly, nerfing weapon speeds *this affected pros but they can manage now, #HikoMissed). My problem isn't really with this, it's with Valve's transparency, they never tell us what they're going to do and expect us to all love their new idea like its Chef Boyardee's canned pasta. No one has really ever asked for battle royale in CS, we ask for improvements which are normally disregarded.

In short, I'm upset with this update, but not as upset as I once was, I still have faith in Valve although it is withering at a fast pace.

Response to comments:
@PapaNotedVevo: Agreed that it makes the player base bigger, dislike the concept of battle royale in cs.
@JustSqueeze: Cause why can't I? As long as I have skins and fun with my friends then who cares?
@Count Chocula: H1Z1s peak player base was 150,179, it's now 24-hour peak is averaging the 3,000 range. This isn't good for a game, it puts people off from the original concept.
@thehemmo: Yeah I agree with you now my man.
@waffle.jpeg: I won't play it, I'm not being forced to. It's a bad addition to a competitive game and I won't play it anymore, regarding optimization, I'm glad you can run this on your 12 year old labtop as you said. And yeah I was probably wrong about the optimization thing, some of my friends with lower-end pc's still cannot run it.
@RandyCo: Prime isn't mean to be something you can pay for, prime is meant to be for people who have played the long enough and deserve a place where they can play without cheaters, cool VACnet is enabled, I forgot that gets rid of every cheater ever, did you?

I just miss source man, the games only full priced because valve can't afford to make Gmod assets free. If Source-style movement was back in the game, I wouldn't care what happens.

Brings a whole new meaning to "the governments corrupt".

Having completed this game, I have grounds to say this

The ending is possibly the worst end to a franchise in human history.
All previous entries in the series do not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ matter anymore to the game, instead they are just participants who wanted to be in a danganronpa game, so you know nagito. Yeah he's a fictional actor, not a character in a game he voluntarily wanted to be in the game so that he could be hired to be a star.
And all because of one Ultimate Cosplayer who had to break the fourth wall to kingdom come.

Now you might ask me, "Why havent you put up a tag about how this is a spoiler, you ruined the whole game for me!!!"
"Well given what you said how is this a positive review?"

Well young whippersnapper let me tell you why:

The ending is a reprensentation of a worker at Team Danganronpa (the creators of the game) and how they are fed up with people complaining for new danganronpa's so they ended it with the ending that no one could come back from, and I dont blame them one ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bit. The amount of ideas you have to have for a story of this calibre would be such a hard job to complete. But given that, they still could of ended this game on a better note than saying that this whole game is just a blatant lie and is a franchise, not a real life thing so you shouldn't care.

But I give quite the ♥♥♥♥.
I have:
- Danganronpa reload 1/2
- Anime box set
- The novel and manga
- Ultimate Despair Girls
- Danganronpa v3 (or 53 shut the ♥♥♥♥ up)

You want to know how much that totals to?
$200.54

It's quite a lot for something that is completely fictional, and something that has had the storyline run through a batista bomb and starship pain.

Now im going in detail on the final trial and by detail i mean im summing it all up so:

30-1hr in ur debating on who the mastermind is and found out that kaede didnt actually kill the first victim and that it was actually the mastermind framing her.

1hr-1h30 Junko comes back and you fall into depression bc the ending was in the past 2 games.

1h30-2h30 "Jesus Christ I understand that this is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fiction so get the ♥♥♥♥ off my screen."
*constantly holding esc*

Now the part that makes this trial hard is fact of how the final rhythm game is taken, you actually need a mechanical keyboard with 30 key ghosting and Rapidfire. Because even though the previous update came out they havent fixed the input delay from the screen.

The final trial in total is just Team Danganronpa taking the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ piss out of you.

Oh yeah btw the best characters other than Maki all die.

I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate you Team Danganronpa but hate myself for falling for this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scam, I cant even get a refund for this ♥♥♥♥ ending it was that bad.

That given good job.

7.5/10

The only game that makes
"CUZ THIS IS JUST A DEMO"
the most unbearable thing ever.

Overall:
The new installment is one of the best yet (if one of the characters can beat nagito from 2), but there are some cons that make this game somewhat annoying then the previous one, however it is a demo version, so I'm still giving major props to it.

Pros:
-Non Canon makes v3 very exciting
-Get to learn the characters
-Stunning Artstyle
-THE MUSIC IS LIKE A RUSH OF LSD
-Class trials have changed drastically

Cons:
-I hate Kaede's personality, she is far to reliable on other people making her seem like the old Makoto. aND IF I HEAR ANOTHER 'TELL THEM, X' IM GOING TO GO BALLISTIC
-The games are one of the most weirdest things you'll ever see, but don't worry DR2's take on hangman's gambit is gone so you can rest easy knowing that you don't have to be KennyS with your mouse.
-The demo seemed fairly rushed but that didn't really affect my hype at all.

Overall:
Design: 10/10
Music: 10/10
Characters: 10/10 (gONTA IS A GENTLEMEN)
Trials: 8/10


Extra:
The amount of references that they put into the previous games makes this whole thing so hillarious. Especially when the two veterans use their "signature catchphrases." That part killed me.

Spanked A guy across the room till he needed medical assistance.



10/10 Would recommend to everyone I know.
