ARMA: Gold Edition

Arma: Armed Assault is the spiritual successor to Bohemia Interactive's Flashpoint game, which changed the name due to legal issues with BI's previous publisher - Codemasters. Name aside, Arma plays and feels much like OFP, with the same radio commands, the same clunky movement animations, and even the same AI features. To me, the similarity is more of an advantage since the game can be notoriously complex and non-user-friendly. Strangely enough, I didn't experience a lot of bugs, except for the AI... Like honestly, the friendly AI is braindead to the point of it being easier to Switch teams and do everything yourself instead of waiting for these idiots to respond. At the same time, the enemies can magically spot and kill you from across the map or not notice you within two meters - it's infuriating. Storywise, the game offers some variability, letting you play the missions in the order you choose, which will influence the plot and the difficulty of some objectives. It is a welcome change to the standard formula, but the story and characters are nowhere near as interesting as in Operation Flashpoint. For the story, I suggest Queen's Gambit, which is shorter and much more exciting and memorable than the main plot. The music is generic, and the voiceovers are fine, I guess, but the acting doesn't carry the weight of the story, so it doesn't look believable. Overall, this game deserves some love, even though the multiplayer is long dead, but the maps are great, the gameplay feels familiar, and the sense of freedom it provides is incredible. It's a slow burner, but if you have the patience, it is worth your time and money!

In many things is a nice step up from the original game. The Island is a very good playground for an unlimited amount of missions and fan creations. The campaign is definitely inferior to previous game, but is interesting and on par with many non historical games of the era. Graphics are better than OPF, but movement and gameplay wise feels worse for some reason, not a deal breaker but is something to note. Given that GOG doesn't have ARMA 2 nor ARMA 3 this is a good investment if you liked the original game, doesn't have the soul of the original game, but it was a good attempt to keep the franchise on the spotlight (at least to realistic shooter enthusiast) for ARMA 2 to exist and everything that came after.

ARMA: Gold Edition - Crysis? Не смеши сынок, сейчас 2007 год. В наши времена эта игра была эталоном для всех. Для тех кто любил ад, ад на видеокарте, ад в пиз… Игра хоть уже и отжила свои года, но в наших сердцах будет жить вечно…!✊ ГРАФИКА - Игра вышла в 2006 году, и как же хорошо графика сохранилась на данный момент. Есть небольшие проблемы с оптимизацией, а так всё на достойном уровне. "У gog версии есть микрофризы!!!" ГЕЙМПЛЕЙ - Чистый Dark Souls. Одна ошибка может стоить жизни, а передвижение должны быть максимально аккуратными. Онлайн нуливой, по этому зови друзей или играй в соло. СЮЖЕТ - Плохие Русские против США которые не поделили остров Сахрани. АДДОНЫ - Мастерской для этой игры не существует, так что всё по старинке. Что на счёт количества? Не то чтобы шибко много, но в достатке.

Its terrible, everything is bugged. Missions that don't complete, tutorials that don't work, guys that cross walls like ghosts and get stuck on them, guys shooting to you through walls...the only good thing is the work that they put on the factions and maps, but is wasted here. Hope they remake it someday on Reforger engine for good, because this is unplayable.

I came from Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising to this game and it's still good and interesting. Tips: - In the first destroy-convoy-mission, check your car to get more mines and rockets. - You can lower the difficulty of the AI to match it to OFDR. - In the armory you can see all units, weapons and vehicles and try them out.
