Invites will be sent in waves throughout the test so don't give up hope.I didnt get an email, mustve been a mistake
One hour of gameplay but with commentary
PS5 Pro here :
Frankly, I didn't know what I was expecting...As a mostly single player user, this is the usual online, busywork, boring stuff.
Spend 30 minutes to loot stuff, maybe shoot a couple of drones and maybe other players.
I know it sounds stupid writing these things in an online/extraction shooter topic of all places but, for those that play mostly SP games and were curious about it, well, this isn't gonna change anyone's mind when it comes to this type of game(s) IMO.
Lifeless, robotic, "A", PC-like game animations ala' PUBG, boring enemies, boring weapons, usual boring game loop and the little atmosphere that it has, is lost due to the boring robotic enemies and boring by today's standards post apocalyptic esthetics - there's nothing "magical" here, nothing to get lost/immersed in, the world is boring and the few cool touches like the synth soundtrack and kinda' 80s costumes etc are clearly remnants from the initial vision that they had for the game before it became yet another extraction looter shooter - the first trailer actually looked neat, fantastical and "different" than...whatever this is right now.
Yes, GFX are neat (but nothing great), it runs at 60fps, the sound design is nice but the rest...
Clearly these games are not for me and my impressions are for those that aren't fans of this type of game either but are curious about it.
Edit : the only Extraction game I've played was Hunt showdown for 20-30 hours, that one at least had some pretty good atmosphere and art direction.
Curious to hear your expound on the atmosphere. I definitely dug Hunt Showdowns atmosphere but this looks like a step above to me. What does Hunt do right in that regard that AR doesn't?Edit : the only Extraction game I've played was Hunt showdown for 20-30 hours, that one at least had some pretty good atmosphere and art direction.
I would gladly take one for PC.So You get 2 friend codes if you play at least 30 minutes plus 4 matches?
I will be happy to share the codes I get...Will be on Xbox
I don't fully agree with this.Eurogamer does this all the time, where they get someone who isn't a fan of FPS to review a Halo release. Almost completely useless information contained.
Not sure if they're platform dependent but if not I will give you one. I will start playing today so I can get the codes ASAP.I would gladly take one for PC.

I'll hit you up later on if you are still struggling.Now xbox also showed up, but still no PC. If its crossplay why does it matter? Just let me play this on PC goddamn
On their site it says you have to play 4 rounds and at least 30 minutes. I don't play many online shooters anymore, maybe that's one of the requirements to qualify or probably just random selection.Just got a code. If I can share I'll send them on here
Once you are in you have to play 4 matches before you can invite 2 people.On their site it says you have to play 4 rounds and at least 30 minutes. I don't play many online shooters anymore, maybe that's one of the requirements to qualify or probably just random selection.
I think it's platform dependent because they ask you to choose on their site.Not sure if they're platform dependent but if not I will give you one. I will start playing today so I can get the codes ASAP.
Also, Love me some Tyrone Biggums...
Is this the 5 o clock free Crack giveaway?!
But I'm at work.Right now.
Tell your boss to fuck off that should get you off early.But I'm at work.
Yeah I am pretty hooked early on but I too sort of want to stop playing and wait for release just not sure I can put the crack pipe down yetI didn't realize I still had access because of previous tests I guess.
I hopped back in and played a round. It's... a lot better than what I remember. But this is one of those things where I see what's there, and it's pretty fun, so I'll just wait for it to release before putting more time into it.
I'll hit you up later on if you are still struggling.
A broken calendar is right once a year...The avatar change was justified. I made the right decision...

I appreciate the offer but I'm AFK for the next 10 days. Use the code yourself and post impressions that will either piss me off or glaze the game...as long as they're sincere it'll be the best gift you can give. If I get sent a code over the next few days (no luck yet) I'll share it with someone here.If i get a code on pc i'm gonna give it to my dudeMen_in_Boxes , he clearly care about trying the demo way more than me

1/2 gives me an eFG percentage that would make Steph Curry blush.A broken calendar is right once a year...
A night and day difference graphically between Marathon and Arc.
Yeah Marathon is first person but the comparisons are going to be inevitable with both being an extraction shooter and especially since both are running alphas/tests right nowIsn't Marathon a 1st person game? It's an interesting comparison for these two games for some reason.
Yeah Marathon is first person but the comparisons are going to be inevitable with both being an extraction shooter and especially since both are running alphas/tests right now
That said they are night and day different from top to bottom
I don't blame anyone if they would rather play Marathon but this game is miles ahead in many categories for my liking
And they don't need a safety and compliance team giving them the ok for things like proximity chat like Bungie does and I personally have already had fun with prox chat and love listening to other players
Interactions like these make a game more enjoyable for me to play and even watch
