Can you explain why the gameplay is "meh"? I've asked this question numerous of times and no one ever answers my question. I've seen a lot of comments about people who replayed it multiple of times and the multiplayer has gotten so many positive impressions. I don't see how the gameplay can be "meh" if multiplayer is great and player are replaying the single player.
I'm thinking about getting this so I have another game to cycle around Guilty Gear Xrd and Hearthstone. If it would great if I can finally understand what people mean when they say those kind of comments.
I'm speaking about single player only as I really tried to stay with this game but it was a struggle right to the end as the gameplay was so repetitive and not very interesting. I know that people out there think this is the best game in the world and they will point out that there are so many ways to kill the monsters, etc but at the end of the day all you're doing is stealth killing these creatures (how many times can I throw a damn brick, bottle, fill in the blank item and then run to beat the enemy over the head) and if you stripped away everything else but literally just the gameplay, I think you would have a much weaker game on your hands. That being said, games aren't evaluated on gameplay alone which is why I still think this game is great but when people say presentation great, gameplay even better, I have no idea what game they're playing.
I actually might pick up this remastered version just to try out the MP, which I didn't do on my first play through as i quickly sold it on ebay after being so burned out by the gameplay. Since MP should remove some of the concerns I have with it (as you're fighting real people), I might need to give it a try as I really did love a lot about this game. Def not paying 50 for it though. Wait until it's 30 which will likely be in a few months - def black friday deal.
