So with 2000+ hours on Warband here is my honest view.

This game is beautiful, HOWEVER.

PROS:
- Combat is smooth and enjoyable
- More ways to manipulate your army on the field
- Very addictive and fun
- Decent graphics and scenery

CONS:
- The game is missing so much detail and so many features. I know it's early access but it's very limited

- Very few new features compared to Warband - Just feels like Warband with better graphics

- Apart from the main quest all quests found in cities are the same 4-5 quests on the whole map. (Caravan escort, trouble with bandits, rival gang, selling stolen goods).
Theres no side quests which could take you down different routes and build different relations.

- Limited activities - I finally managed to capture a king of an entire kingdom, what were my options? I could only sell to a ransom broker for 2000g. Why couldn't I barter with his kingdom for land or more gold, or sell to his enemy factions for double the price? There's no features like this so make the game very dull.

MULTIPLAYER:
- Tried to join a server, waited 20 minutes in the queue, joined and instant server crash.

I'm trying so hard to love this game and it has so much potential. However I just feel it's rushed and could do with more work. Sorry Taleworlds.

Arma 3 has to be one of my all time favourites, it enables you to have a great time either playing by yourself or with friends, flying helicopters and driving tanks in epic battles with team mates always keeps you on your toes. Or you can play it sneaky peaky like sat on a hill 600m from your target with nothing but a 50cal sniper rifle.
