    NOW only it’s finished? When did it become normal for these companies to release half finished trash and use their paying customers as beta testers?

        That’s one game that I never got into the hype train with and still haven’t got around to trying, even though it looks like it’s right up my alley. So I might be mistaken but wasn’t Minecraft originally an indie effort? I don’t like it but I can understand and appreciate giving indie devs support while they’re still working on things a lot more than paying the mega corporation for the privilege of being a beta tester.

          Yeah, it was an indie thing, but it was also one of the first huge success stories from crowdfunding/early access, too. So in typical game’s industry fashion, they copied it; but only the parts that make them more money for less effort.

    I never played it after the terrible reviews and after seeing the ugly busy ui/damage splatter. It especially hurt as a fan of the Rocksteady batman games and huge DC comics fan. Did the updates help? Is it better? Worth a play?

      I felt like Shadow of Mordor was a decent spiritual successor, and while I haven’t played Shadow of War it seems like more of the same. Same combat style as the Arkham games.

      The recent Insomniac/Sony Spider-Man games also had a similar combat style.

      If you’re absolutely set on playing it I’d say there’s a fairly good chance it shows up in Humble Choice within the next year or so.

        Actually, I just got it for free from my Playstation plus membership, one of this month’s free downloads. Just wasn’t sure if it was even worth my time
