    One has to wonder why Back 4 Blood even bothers having solo play as an option when players are left severely handicapped with unreliable AI partners that get stuck in place, disabled achievements and unsaved progression. Even when playing online, added elements like perk and corruption cards makes the game heavily unbalanced when it doesn't need to be.

Even when playing online, added elements like perk and corruption cards makes the game heavily unbalanced when it doesn't need to be. I understand it's not supposed to be the same as "Left 4 Dead", but these are the same creators who had the intention on delivering a spiritual successor, so it needs to live up to their legacy. This does not. Don't even get me started on the insultingly unfair difficulty, or the new survivor vs. monster PvP. It's all just a mess right now.… Expand

    possibly my fault for not noticing that i have to pay for a subscription to play the game, but i’m beyond unhappy that they make you pay for the game up front ON TOP forcing you to pay an additional subscription. one or the other, both is corporate greed is taking over here and i’ll eat my loss on buying the game, but i won’t pay for the subscription. if this cra$ becomes standardpossibly my fault for not noticing that i have to pay for a subscription to play the game, but i’m beyond unhappy that they make you pay for the game up front ON TOP forcing you to pay an additional subscription. one or the other, both is corporate greed is taking over here and i’ll eat my loss on buying the game, but i won’t pay for the subscription. if this cra$ becomes standard practice i’ll just dump the xbox before letting the greedy overlords suck every penny out.… Expand

    This is for taking the single player game away (or if there is still one, I will never know since you dont let me start the game). Now for the small money you made by your gain from helping microsoft sell live gold membership, let me help equalize it by preventing few people from paying you 60 bucks ;)

    Being as this is a spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead, the fact that they left out split screen, which is basically the only way I played Left 4 Dead, has ruined this before I even played it. Then they took progression away for single player. If you didn't want people to play solo or with friends at home why did you not make it online only.

    Impossible challenge doesn’t equal difficulty.

    Back 4 Blood in my experience has been mostly agonizing more than fun, even on the easiest difficulty i’ve seen teams get erased in one simple horde, as every 20 seconds you’ll get bombarded by special infected that can kill you in seconds, while the gameplay and gunplay itself is super fun with modding guns and being able to choose and    Impossible challenge doesn’t equal difficulty.

I hope soon they can slow the pace down to give people a more fair challenge.    … Expand

    This game is trash. I spent hundreds of hours playing both its predecessors and this game doesn't even compare to those. So many unnecessary features were added like cards, two currency systems, glowing weak spots on enemies, incredibly cheap enemies, gun stats, etc yet the developers chose not to include two game modes that people want which are campaign versus and local co op.

    With Back 4 Blood, Turtle Rock Studios returns in a great way to the genre they helped create, although it has some flaws that can affect the experience.
