The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Can't launch the game because I have to sign into XBox Live (on a windows account that I'm logged into already everytime I boot up my PC) and after entering all the details and confirming a Code via Email it greys out and does nothing…”
“Requires logging into a Microsoft account to even get to the menu. I understand why they'd require this for multiplayer, but let us at least get to the main menu without logging in :-/”
