Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Colonies Edition

Lost Planet hasn't been for sale on Steam for quite some time now but this negative review needs to exist in response to Capcom's recent efforts to keep owners of this game informed of the progress of their "investigation" into issues related to Games for Windows LIVE: It seems Capcom's solution is to remove it entirely. Great. Except their way of doing this is by applying XLiveless instead. Capcom have effectively taken a cleaver and sliced through all the online components of Lost Planet's gameplay: Goodbye Achievements, Goodbye Online Play and, worst of all, Goodbye Saves. This was all done without warning. I can appreciate trying to get Lost Planet as accessible as possible, especially on Steam Deck, but this isn't the way to do it, and has infact broken my trust in Capcom's ability to keep supporting their software library. It is an anxiety that only a digital-only future can promise, which sits on deaf ears in an age where physical media may become extinct in only a few years time. When companies like Capcom operate in this manner, they clearly take you for granted. Maybe these studios should understand there are consequences for doing that, no matter what belo…

I would replay the opening to this game 100x a week as a young one. Recommend.

Meh.

ON HARD YOU BETTER BE PREPAIRED TO WORK AT IT! BUT I LOVBED IT!

The campaign this time is single player so the multiplayer being removed is not as big an issue as it was for 2 but it is still a shame because it was a fun time.

Has aged like some pure and total horse milk. Gameplay is sloppy, shooting either feels okay or bad, enemies are spongy or die quickly and you will never know which ones are spongy or not. Maybe it is just the guns, but lackluster VFX can seriously affect that too. Not something I can recommend, mostly because the multiplayer is completely dead now.
