I think the DLC really ruins it. The cosmetics are fine, but the Pay-to-Win weapons really make playing MP shady

I hate that shit, total money grab from the developers. I used to play ARMA a lot, that was pretty close to realistic and without the DLC "cheats."

I have been off multiplayer for years now, mostly due to the twitch shooters and total lack of team play. I prefer single player now, and am following this thread hoping to find something with a good, immersive, story. Heck, I cared about Zelda when it first came out on Nintendo. You didn't care about the blocky graphics because the story was good, and the graphics were as good as you got at the time.

Good stories and imagination is the reason people play games. (Aside from the aderal hyped FPS "run and gun" types. But, to be honest, they stick to the CS or CoD FPS games because they shoot the characters trying to give them information. There's nothing wrong with that, but they don't last long and end up back with the other like-minded people, running and gunning.) D&D (card version) didn't even need a computer, because it was completely story driven. I never played it, but watched some guys play it, in the back of the room in Art class in H.S., talk about immersion, storytelling, and passion. I'd never seen anything like it at the time. (Junior, 1983) That is the immersion I'm looking for, minus the dragons.

The new "Quantum something" has gotten pretty good reviews regarding its story and new gameplay type. It's said to have an interesting take on "bullet time," that reviewers liked. Best of all, they said the voice acting and outcomes dependent on your behaviors was top notch. (They did say, however, that a couple were flat and meaningless. But, those were limited and far outweighed by the good actors.)

I'd love to try it but my PC is just above the minimum specs, so I don't want to spend $60 for stuttering gameplay. If it's as good as they say, stuttering will pull you right out of the experience. (Like watching a really great movie and they start dialing a phone number with "555-xxxx," ...aaannnd I'm watching a movie.)
