I was delayed so much today I only was able to play a half hour so far. I didn't realize there were so many decent items in the tutorial map. Basically got a full load out and 3k creds from it. Nice!

I'll be back on after dinner to get in for real, at least for an hour or two.

And I swear to S'pht, I will leave work early tomorrow!
 
Bought, installed, ran tutorial, then a raid and extracted! Then I had to leave for work. So now I have a nine hour shift ahead of reading GAF and other media about the game until I get home to resume my career as a Runner. I am enjoying the time with the game, just like ARC Raiders. Both multiplayer focused titles that I normally shy away from have gotten their hooks into this old fart and I am ready for it!
 
I will say people are SO bad at this game lol. Just running around like retards fighting all the UESC they come across, not taking the high ground, not chilling for a sec.

Lost so many matches already 'cause of randoms just being RANDOM as fuck.
 
Solos are so fucking sweaty in this game. Everyone also seems to have laser aim. Not sure if that's aim assist or if I'm actually going up against good players.

So is it good. Or another disappointment. I think I want to get it.
I think the genre is up to your taste. As far as PvP oriented extraction shooters go I like this the most so far. Played a lot of hours of the slam.

I saw a Push Square article where some of the other PlayStation studios posted some art for the launch, and holy shit who the fuck hired the Santa Monica artist. I think we saw this person's ugly ass art work at Christmas or something as well but I wish they would keep it to themselves.

Intense but good.
XP and progress continuing despite dying is quite relieving

Teams make extraction runs alot easier but still possible on solo

Will be playing this a few times a week after initial launch time
 
I love the lore and narrative of this game lol

I wonder how much of this they will make or if it will be an every season type of thing.

I hope so. DLC being free is pretty good. Im sure added levels and characters will add more lore
More raids too should mean more lore lol
 
Ok never mind I am just ASS myself lol.

I have won maybe 3 matches so far and lost the remaining ones in the time it's come out. :messenger_tears_of_joy:
 
My girlfriend got home and wanted to watch a match so I was showing her the game and had a pretty damn good match. Lots of UESC fights, a team fight where we came out with good loot all despite not being on comms or even wearing a headset (my monitor has 2x5w so above average speakers so I did have basically audio) but with 5 minutes left of the match I just barely hear my teammate ask if anybody else just teleported backwards.

Server took a shit and started lagging and OF COURSE A FUCKING TEAM WAS COMING UP ON US. I saw the team called it out on coms teleported backwards and by the time I came back I was dead alongside my teammate.
 
I did three closed tests and knew the game wasn't going to be for me but I was curious about how it scored. What's up with the reviews not being up on Metacritic/Opencritic yet?
 
Because its someone else's opinion and not yours? You could have a completely different taste/experience than the reviewers
But isn't that true for every videogame? Why should a MP game not be scored based on fun, graphics, and all the other traditional traits of videogames.
 
I was being told that you are not able to review a Multiplayer game in such short time.
I know its taken some shit on line, but I am I missing something, is that a meme or something I am not aware of? Didn't they just have a big open beta that is basically the game that came out? People need more than 4 days to determine that kind of thing?
