Yeah...I don't know what to make of this. I know it's possible to look at a game and tell whether it's your type of game or not but this....is a step too many over the line. I can't even read the rest of it...
Change title to " Five 2013 games ruined by multiplayer which we HAVEN'T EVEN PLAYED YET"
Jesus Christ you people never cease to amaze me.
