Best Part is ignoring the crimes and just chill swinging around the City. game can be hectic. just non-stop "help me!" and you don't even get anything from it. you're still poor, behind your rent, and have no GF... jeesus. if I were Spider Man, I'd be charging the City a million dollars for every Crime I stopped.. literally a Billionaire in an hour, it's New York.

beautiful art and music ruined by a terrible writers. Goddes of MANA, you will sacrifice your soul to me because I need it to make sure the world is fine, or else.. calamity will befall your place. everyone in game = ok, we will kill ourselves because its a tradition done many times before our time. its for the better of the many. while the goddes try to hold back her maniacal laugh as she blackmail these fools to giving up their souls. the whole story is a convoluted mess about tradition, written by a naive 12 yr olds. let me tell you about this tradition, its called suicide with a fancy name of alm and mana and the goddess of Mana is a literal Soul sucking Demon with a beautiful face. there is a point in chapter 3 where the protagonist and his gf was being honest about not wanting to die, and wanting to live a full life together and it's the only reason I manage to beat the game all the way through hoping that they will come to their senses and do that but they didn't. Daelophus is what Kratos god of war could have been, but the writers neutered him insisting on these idiot premise of sacrifice for nothing.

The best game I have ever played. each chapter you finish, you are rewarded with a story that delves in deeper, the character within that chapter. this game tugs with your emotion, from realizing how dark humanity can be, and how also love can be found in many places. it's an amazing journey all the way, like a good book that you can't wait to turn the next page to. the pacing is nice, and just when you hit the cresendo of the game where you have the best gear and weapon and ready to kick some gods ass, the game takes a soft u-turn. it reminds you of the inevitable, and it doesn't forces you to accept it, but you realize as you go a long the whole reflection of ones life, from the beginning to the end, the greatest battle is within us.

spent 172 hours on the install manager trying to install 1/5 updates. broken install manager, that stops and loops to zero, simply amazing. never got to play the game once.

Wow.. this game game is so boring, I literally fell asleep on my desk playing this game. I love Big Robots with guns and I enjoy the hell out of Xcom series, but for some reason this game just missed the mark for me. Big yawn, I mean thumbs down.

Chinese Carbon Copy of ARK .. check.
mix with a little bit of magic .. voila ! Dark and Light.

I enjoy the "My Career". being able to scan your own face in the game is awesome. has a lot of cut scene video if you follow the story line, Big Pro's.

One thing that bug me the most, is the f*kin rediculous Justice, "ORANGE JUICE!"
I couldn't get rid of that guy fast enough.

oh and when you thought you got rid of him by letting him go to another team, the damn coach follows you where ever you go and guess what, HE STILL SAYS "GOOD JOB ORANGE JUICE !!" "WAY TO PUT THE.. SQUEEZE ON THEM !" shesus f*kin christ !!..

why can't my character say "Hey As*hoLe, Justice is gone so there's no more ORANGE F*CKING JUICE !!!"

BIG CONS :

* Online - yes everyone is hacking and 2k doesn't give a sh*t. not even gonna bother with that. it's been like that in the previous title, and it's going to be the same next one.. so stop expecting anything.

* 2K17 got rid of the awesome game opening introduction 2k16 has. where you can customize your own music intro and animation, it's one of the best simulation that you actually made it as a starting 5.

* The way you progress from being an All-star in College with a rating of 55 and be a total sh*t bag when you start out in NBA. pure greed by 2k for you to cough up the Money for that VC coins.

* Shooting : do you guys know the game has the player by default in handicap. low [0.3] in layup and shooting. rest are [0.5] which is 50-50 chance depends on your release.

VC POINST BREAKDOWN REWARD PER GAME: it's ridiculous, just look at the screen shot. all that hard work and you can't even buy a shoe with the VC they give you per game.

* I really hate Orange juice.

PRO'S:

* Graphics is amazing.
* Fluid Controls
(when you'r character has a high stats and can really move) breaking ankles is pure fun.

* Commentator in game is good but needs to have longer recording dialog, a long season can be mind numbing repetitive to hear burk lady talk about her cooking skills.

I'm changing my review from bad to simply Amazing. please watch
internet historians video on youtube, it covers everything that happened from the promotion - release - and the tribulations the develepor went trough, and of course the redemption.
Thank you to the never ending commitment of the develepors.

Good Game, Runs Smooth as Butter on my System. 84 fps to 144.

I like the customization on the fly so to speak, attachments.
reminds me of farcry 4 mechanics with Dying Light graphics, environment.

no consequence for accidentally shooting one of your team mate in Story mode is good I guess. just incase you run out of ammo LOL.

Amazing Game. Runs so smooth. running GTX 980 (70-90) FPS on Very High Settings. big open world to explore,.. can't wait to have my first pet.
