60 Dollar DLC. Hah thats funny take this downvote.. 60 Dollar DLC asking price for AI Generated Art and Content -THAT SHOULD ALREADY BE IN THE GAME AT LAUNCH AFTER 10+ YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT. Lazy Disgusting predatory behavior on my childhood game of choice. Shame.

-Edit-
Post Playing.

1) Lack of the God Teir Editor in OG sins that allowed me to endlessly replay the game hundreds of hours in maps I could hand craft.

2) The Maps presented for play are lacking less than 4 maps that actually have more than 1 star which in the absence of the editor is absolutely unacceptable when I enjoy conquering and fighting over star clusters. ONLY 2 huge maps at launch? LMAO Really? you had since 2008 and couldn't be bothered?

3)Also Mod support is a win HOWEVER there is not really any graphical adjustments I can make >Not that its a difficult game to run at all but as I mentioned in the lack of the editor lack of options is frustrating

Edit (1) So the game plays Amazing and looks Superb. Love the Effects and details they have added and I think it does indeed surpass Rebellion in mechanics and game play HOWEVER Rebellion still wins when it comes to Editor|Customization (For your specific Empire) I figure mods will sort this out eventually and it looks like there's a lot of support for skins and stuff.

I do feel conflicted that the Market is actually something you have to protect now as well as can be destroyed makes the game feel more strategic when you have assets like that in your territory but in cases where you do have multi star maps if one star systems has them all in one spot ALL OTHER EMPIRES cannot effectively manage their economy by buying and selling till they research long range jumps and find them(Assuming they are not being gate kept) I feel like it should ultimately go back to just being accessible at the start of the game.
>Minor Factions hold the markets<

They streamlined the research its kinda the same where you will eventually get enough money to just buy out everything in the end regardless of how you progress your only limiting factor in this game in terms of advancing is how long it takes for you to find the markets.

OH Yeah BTW YOUR AI SLOP IS OBVIOUS. At least the Original has REAL ART. Take some pride with 16 YEARS of time to add some REAL not lazy art.

Edit (2)
-Diplomacy is Bare bones and I can't tell what the hell the AI think of my proposals.

-A.I. Is lacking.

But I can say I am pleased and while I CAN recommend it I WILL keep my down vote on behalf of the lazy AI SLOP and the Lack of Editor >Removal of core features<

(Basic review)

Note, If you want 'Contact' for plot don't bother go away... run.

Its just another "expansion" That says its cool but its really underwhelming.

Waste of money, lack of creative foresight

No actual aliens. NO ACTUAL ALIENS. Go away enough said.

(TLDR Rant below)

>REEEEEEEEEEEtextured Stuff that's not really interesting, NO ACTUAL ALIENS (besides plot dROneS)

>Horrid optimization the game stuck me at 25 FPS despite trying to change settings. (My PC is good enough to handle Ultra so that's BS)

>The "plot" is pretty shallow. They could of really done something interesting with aliens, GONE ABSOLUTELY NUTS with it however It is funny they joke about it as one of the characters says "Well we don't want to start war of the worlds do we?" YES! YES I WANT THAT inf****ingstead its another "ohno dumb allies doing dumb things and we gotta stop em BUZZ LOOK AN ALIEN DRONE SCAN IT!" Boring, lame, a waste of time.

The DLC is out of place in Arma 3 because it wants to be something new but forces its self to be the same.

Worst part about this DLC is that they try to make "No gravity and floating stuff" "Scanners" and all this "Experimental" game stuff seem amazing in the trailer. Its not. Not at all.

THE AI HAVE the damn awareness of a Drywall.

The Plot Scanner and drone hacking are the only really interesting concepts here and I applaud it, moving toward electronic warfare in a futuristic milsim is a good step for Arma 3.

Campaign is way too short for the price

No actual aliens

The MAP is beautiful and that's good too bad the game forced me to stay at 25 FPS so I couldn't enjoy it.

Campaign only Utilizes 40% of said beautiful map.

Still no Actual aLiEnS

kthxbye

DIABLO 40k!
