This game’s story disappointed me. It started off great but like halfway through it lost steam and never really picked itself back up. Trevor, Michael, and Franklin are all incredible characters that are performed to perfection but I just wish they were attached to a better story. The villains are all really forgettable as well. And there’s always WAAAAY too much driving during missions. I get it’s GTA but I just got sick of driving from one arbitrary objective after another. Also the gun play isn’t good even by 2013 standards.
Whilst an amazing experience, this game is flawed as hell. Linear and repetitive mission design, stupid AI during stealth sections, most of the side quests are all pretty lame aside from the mythic tales.
But where this game works, it works marvels. The visuals and art style, the combat, the music, and the ending are all stellar.
Although I’ve got a whole slew of problems with the game, I platinumed it. So I’d say it makes up for it’s shortcomings tenfold.

People keep defending this game by saying, “well it’s not a bad game” and they are right. Dark Souls 2 is not a bad game. I also hate Dark Souls 2.
This is a terrible sequel and that’s why I hate it. A good sequel expands on what was good in the first game, and improves what was bad. DS2 doesn’t do that.
The gameplay is such a mess both in level design, and especially combat. It’s actual bullshit at times. I’ll use the Heide Tower Knights as an example. Their attacks have little to no windup, making dodging needlessly difficult and parrying next to impossible, some of their attacks can pretty much magnetize to you, and you gotta fight them in groups. Coupled with the awful hit boxes that plague the whole game and you’re not exactly in store for a fun time.
SOULS-LIKE GAMES ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR YOU TO ENGAGE MULTIPLE ENEMIES AT ONCE UNLESS THE ENEMIES IN QUESTION ARE DESIGNED TO BE FOUGHT AS A GROUP OR DUO!
If this game wasn’t labeled as a sequel to one of the best games of all time, I’d like it way more but sadly it isn’t. Do yourself a favor and just skip to DS3.
