“My singleplayer game does not function properly because of server maintenance. I love the game when it works but this kind of practice deserves a thumbs down. EDIT: SKIP THIS and just buy World of Assassination which includes this.”
“the game is great, almost a masterpiece, but the DLC politics IO is going for are so atrocious, they alienated me, a life long fan of the series, for years now. there once was a time where you needed a GUIDE to know how to buy this game…”
