Quote: Nothus "It helps if you know other people who play the game. You can play the entire game in co-op and it is infinitely more enjoyable this way.
The story is poor, but certainly longer than 8 hours, and there is a ton of stuff to do once the basic story is over.
I love this game, I am obsessed with it right now.
The hunt for new and better gear, the chance to find a rare weapon, the daily updates to bounty hunts and missions. Honestly, I would argue that once you get the story out of the way and reach a certain level with your character, the game just blossoms into something on a completely different level.
I must be close to about 30 hours now spent playing this, and I'm still on my first character. There are two other classes I haven't even touched yet. I've barely scratched the surface of the competitive multiplayer, I still have a long way to go before my character is maxed out, and I haven't even touched the special 'raid' event they released last week that is supposed to be a serious challenge.
The game received another nice new (free) update again yesterday and there are a few more planned in the next few weeks.
To say it's only an 8 hour game is doing it a huge dis-service. I can't get enough of it right now.'"
Complaints I'm hearing about it are broken loot system (grinding for hours and getting a pile of crap), and very repetitive mission areas, plus rubbish AI. Sure, you'll get a little bit of free stuff, but come on, Activision is the publisher, everything half-dozen will be paid DC (that was probably held back on release).
