I'm a little biased but I never played DS. Just never got around to it. When the remake came out I loved it. I legit own the game not piracy but I figure a review still helps sell how much fun it is. I went from pirating it to owning it. I wish they continued remaking 2 & 3 as well.

This game. I don't freaking know. I'm not upset, I'm not mad, I'm not even happy/excited. I'm neutral. Its a lot like Outer Worlds 1. I remember it not being all that good but it wasn't awful either. OW1 was a game you'd play a little here then do something else. Best example? Time filler. You don't play OW1 or OW2 for the story you just play it to explore the worlds, dress up in goofy shit, and blow shit up with even more goofy weapons.

Completely dumbfounded on why people are praising its campaign. MW1-3 OG were ridiculous but they knew they were. VA's still did a hell of a job delivering lines that made you hyped during the wars all the way up to MW3. MW Reboot edition? Hell no. The whole thing has 0 wars. Suddenly a forced Korean one just explodes with no build up in previous installments and does more shock effect that felt copied from MW2019's russian mission. Literally shot for shot almost. People claim its just as good as MW2019's campaign. Not really a high bar to beat imo. SPOILER DO NOT READ FURTHER BELOW... SERIOUSLY. STOP READING IF YOU WANT NO SPOILERS SECOND WARNING. Price tracks down Makarov at a nightclub in NYC. Then beats him down in an alley to death. Wow.. what a buildup for 3 fucking games just for Makarov the guy who is suppose to be a threat just look like a spoiled street punk. Nice job. Korean invasion feels like a news paper article. You visit it on the front aka mission 1, visit it on the middle pages mission 2, then see the conclusion on the source page aka mission 3. There's not a whole lot of Korean war going on. Its just Price being some edgelord betraying people left and right claiming he's doing what's right. When price in MW2 sent the missile up in the air it self explained why. It devastated the US but it halted the Russian advance too. It made legit sense. This Price? Lol no. No sense.

I'll tl;dr this shit. 1. Dom/Marcus felt like cutaway void fillers than the actual dynamic they were in GoW1-3. Half the time felt compressed where you could remininse with them because Lucas/Mag needed backstories. They are poorly done, no I don't mean her being a lesbian. I mean how forced and self injected the whole thing feels. You could of implemented two random cogs or Tai and Clayton Carmine and they would of filled the spots Baird/Cole weren't in, easily. Instead you have two bland new people who're as interesting as a tree branch. 2. Coalition / Xbox has some weird fetish with making FPS open world, or semi open. Halo Infinite semi open, Gears 5 semi open, there's another I'm forgetting but E-Day does it too. "Oh nvm the e-day worry just run around doing pointless filler open world stuff! That has no weight baring impact besides picking up weapon mods." Cool.. it happens like 3-4 times. Pulls you out of the urgency or plot. 3. It has a memory leak. Plenty have mentioned this before but its ridiculous. Not sure if its been patched now but for myself and two other friends, its still there. 4. The story is just ridiculous I feel like. Trench is forced claiming UIR can build creatures like locust. Making military command incompetent cliche. Hoffman wasn't incompetent in GoW1 he was utilizing what he had to win. Idk sometimes it felt like it was trying too hard to be COD. Using shock effect to replace decent writing. I will say it made me want to emulate GoW1-3 on xenia. So thanks I guess.
