January 2, 2016 - Hello Everyone,
Welcome to the new year. Just to wrap last year, I beat quite a few games, but DID NOT beat Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts. But a lot of people I know are getting divorced and some even have cancer so I am not gonna be a dickhead and pretend like it actually matters.
But I digress - so today I decided to beat this little gem. But I kid! It's not a gem - it's got style but really it kind of sucks. In a world where Killing Floor 1 and 2 Exist there really is no reason to play this, BUT I DID, so you don't have to ;D

Jan 7, 2016 - So I did not beat this game. I have come back to this over and over trying to stick with it, but today I just threw in the towel on this on.
To put it short, it's not as good as #1. The environments are less interesting and more confusing. I just got tired of it really and I want to start making space and time for games I actually enjoy.

January 9th, 2015 - So you might be saying to yourself "But Matt, you beat BS:I way back when, why is it on your list in 2016?"
Well after the grind and disappointment that was Darksiders 2, and after the steam holiday sale where I purchased this and all its DLC, I thought I would play it through again.
I even uped the anti and played it on very hard just to give myself a challenge and I have to say, between the tight combat, great characters, and great and disturbing visual this game still delivers on all of those.
I have yet to play 1999 mode, or the DLC but that will be done in due time.
Great Game!

The Good:
-WWII levels are varied and have interesting design
-"Droping in" Mechanic makes it so you start each level (and each respawn when you die) by parachuting into it where you want to
-Level design allows you to take on objectives however you want
-Aiming allows you to lean around corners and cover
-There are quite a few weapons, and getting kills with them automatically unlocks upgrades
-Price is pretty low
The Bad:
-Aiming down the sights causes you to stop and aim, takes some getting used to
-Single Player is only 4 hours long
-Not a lot of replayability
-Multiplayer is almost completely dead
-Story line is very boiler plate, not that interesting
-Graphics and enemy AI do show their age here
The Verdict:
If you want some more WWII shooter action, you can do a lot worst than this. It is not a bad game and on sale it's actually worth the price just to jump and and kill half a day on. I would recommend it when it's on sale since the MP is pretty much dead however.

February 23, 2016 - I beat the base game of CoH. It's a great game with a ton of content even with only the base games (and I have the expansions left to go).
Really fun and well put together and as a person who sucks at RTSs I was to complete the campaign on easy without too many issues.

Bite Sized Review
The Good:
+ Really Nice Graphics for an MMO
+ The Interface looks really nice and slick, nice sounds on it too like when you unlock an achievement
+ 2 Weapon System allows you to mix up your character build
+ No classes, anyone can change character roles at anytime
+ The atmosphere of modern day but with ghosts and goblins etc. is great
+ Missions are voiced with cut scenes
+ Mission Variety is great: Combat, Stealth, and Puzzle
The Bad:
- Loading times/ how often you see them is a little excessive
- Que times for PvE Dungeons and PVP is too long, even during weekends when it should be fast
- Enemies get more health at higher levels, and just become bullet sponges near the end
- Equipment (except weapons) does not show on character
- Good/Interesting Vanity Items must be purchased with real money
- Expansion content is locked behind multiple $15 add-ons
- Can only make human characters in a universe where there are ghouls, goblins, zombies, and werewolves
- Base game story line has a weak and uninteresting finish
- Act of combat and combat animations are stiff and boring
- Dwindling Player base
- It is an MMO
The Verdict:
I loved this game for a long time and only recently buckled down and beat the base game storyline. I loved the world and atmosphere this game gave off, but at every turn I felt like the game could be so much better if it was a single player RPG instead of an MMO. The combat and animations suffer and the fact that enemies respawn after you've killed them just leaves the game feeling hollow. I truly feel if Funcom were to take this world and make a Vampire the Masquerade style game out of it, it would be amazing.
