I'll try to post some later. I live close to work so I ran home when I got the delivery notification just to bring it inside. Wasn't going to open it until later but couldn't resist. Pretty impressed on first look. Thief is already in the running for at least my top five favorite character designs ever, and they did it justice with the figure. Noticed one or two tiny air bubbles in the "water" but not a huge deal.
I'm just hoping the inevitable backlash from the Arc Raiders social sim types won't hurt the game too much.
Yeah agreed.
I will be shocked if this game retains more than 20k average players once a month passes. I just think too much damage has been done and more to come from rage creators.
I'll be doing my best not to look things up and also not pay the wider community much mind. No I do not give a rats ass what the "meta" will be two weeks in, let me figure things out on my own thanks.
That's how I played Arc and marathon alpha. More enjoyment to be had figuring shit out on your own.
I couldn't get my Fortnite buddy to play ARC Raiders. He definitely hated the 200 different loot items that all felt like meaningless junk to him. I suspect that's a big reason people bounce off and I wonder if Marathon will fair a bit better because it doesn't have crafting in it like ARC. All the loot seems easier to understand. (Still complex obviously)
Thing with this game will be whatever the meta maybe you'll only have it until you lose it. If the best gear is also the hardest to obtain then the chase will be real.
Yeah. I fucking love the art, the world and the music.
Forgot the name of the orange and black faction. They had slick style.
I've never reported anyone before until now.
What a hampton.
I'm mean pre ordered already tanked on Steam. If a platform will carry this game, It will be Steam.
The only people preordering the game are the ones who are sold on the game after playing the recent tests and did so when they went live.
I didn't play the recent tests ngl
A man of faith. Nothing wrong with that.
Lots of reasons. Some I've discussed in my longer posts in this thread and others. The game is coming at a perfect time for me, very interested in the extraction genre but bouncing off the longstanding existing entries. The art style feeling like it was made specifically for me. My general love of Bungie despite their missteps. Love of the classic trilogy and believe the hardcore extraction premise is a fitting evolution. The "controversies" being blown out of proportion far beyond reason. Being in the spring and fall playtests enough to see the potential here. Haven't played the glow-up versions but I've certainly seen enough to be very confident about the game's quality
Hope we get to see Lh'owon eventually.
This is exactly how I played Arc Raiders and honestly it was awesome. You only get to experience a new game once, why ruin it by looking everything up? I'll be doing the same thing here. I'm even contemplating not playing the free weekend and just going in blind.
Mine also. Things massive!Collector's edition arrived
Did you try Trials of Osiris in Destiny? I could be wrong but it is my understanding it it was pretty popular with the hyper-competitive PVP peeps. It wasn't an extraction mode, but it did have the idea of small squads fighting each other with one death per round and revives (sweaty). It seems like this is an expansion of that style of gameplay.
I saw this, but these are 1080p secreenshots. Thats not what i call high quality
Hopefully any stash space you unlock by doing seasonal stuff is a permanent unlock...
It wont be. Its tied to faction unlocks
So factional stuff is going to be reset too you think? I don't know how it all works but was hoping all of that sort of stuff was permanent.
ofc. They will wipe everything. You can unlock a lot of stuff through faction reputation, they probably gonna add some new stuff each season
Are you sure? I'll have to check my home PC later since I've been downloading everything on there as it's posted. You might have to dig for the good stuff. They've also removed some materials from that page, if there's anything good in my backups I'll upload and send a link.I saw this, but these are 1080p secreenshots. Thats not what i call high quality
You'll only be able to keep cosmetic based unlocks and lore stuff between seasons.
The spring and fall playtests had the Sony logo, not sure about the more recent ones.I just saw this, does that mean we won't see a Sony logo on start up?
