This is a PvP RPG.
So there is a boss to beat??
I believe that's where the genre is heading.
Yeah, me and some friends will be picking this up as soon as it releases.
The lack of clarity may not be for me. Never been one to grind without defined boundaries. See how it goes.
Game looks like the standard coop game many "SP gamers" tend to enjoy, a la Monster hunter or Helldivers. However, if you really want to know, the PvP element will eventually wear those people off, as PvP always devolve into meta-gaming and few of those types of players are willing to put that much effort into a game.

It'll capture more SP oriented gamers than most PvP games because it provides the hooks they're looking for.
21K while they're still sending out invites isn't earth shattering. That puts it in the Hunt Showdown ballpark, which currently sits at 22K CCU.21K crossed. I think there is no doubt now.
Also #19 on Steam Wishlist compared to #60.

I already play The Finals regularly lol
They need to throw in some form of rare collectibles that can be displayed and viewed at your base. Like cards, or the mixtapes, or similar. Maybe even some minor cosmetic things could work, like patches you can display on your pack.
Then you concede that the doorway is no longer a fatal funnel, but a risk-free power-position.
From your perspective, explain why.
What are you admitting to? Explain.
Without using the fatal funnel myth that we just put to bed, explain why.
Explain why this is unique to the third-person perspective.
From your perspective, regardless of camera angle, is pushing equal to brain-dead?
Yes, in real life. But, in third-person shooters, you've already conceded that the doorway is dangerous because it's a risk-free power-position and not a fatal funnel.
You've already conceded that the fatal funnel effect is not only reduced in third-person, but has transformed into a risk-free power position that allows anybody to win out. Also, when you say "brain-dead play styles," what other play styles are you now calling brain-dead, and how are they unique to first-person perspective?
Using your reflexes and aiming skills are not exclusive to either camera angle, and are necessary to both third and first-person shooters.
Again, what are these other play styles?
Nebulous. Far better? Why?
You're truly a master tactician.
You can bet on every horse in the Kentucky Derby and claim victory afterward, if that's your thing.
I never found one either and my son found 2 in one run at one the residence on the dam map
Max level Scrappy brings you a fresh can of 4C, cooking oil, and a frying pan.
Deodorant too!

Game will be carried by PC and ~90% will have moved onto something else within the first 3 months after it's release.
No. It looks really polished and release ready so id say during summer
The only way they could do that is by creating a mode that eliminates PvP
They would need a pure PVE playlist which I personally would be in favor of and just let me explore their world they created with possibly reduced XP or just some sort of penalty for not having to worry about PVP
Like making AI deadlier.
I would say that the fatal funnel is moved, not eliminated. FPP eliminates the fatal funnel which produces significantly less interesting combat scenarios.
Because we don't have a drone following us IRL.
I am admitting that we don't have a drone following us IRL.
You tried to put it to bed, not me.
Read above. It gives the lower aim skill / reflex player more viable options to best the high aim skill player.
If this isn't brain dead, I don't know what is...
I never said it's risk free. I said that it gives defensive, stealthy minded gamers a more representative advantage of real life tactics.
No, I said the opposite.
I never said these things. Stick to what I actually say as it creates more interesting conversation.
Not sure what your question is here.
True.
Stealth, hiding, observation, timing, psychology. 3rd person perspective is significantly more tactical in nature because the more intelligent player can win over the high reflex player at increased rates.
Because Chess is better than Checkers.
I was just using your words against you so you could look at yourself in the proverbial mirror.
Or bet on two or three in a field of hundreds and claim victory after. That represents my position far more.
And what you dont seem to realize is that the lines on the sand separating people between "SP enjoyers" and "MP enjoyers" is actually very lucid, even if the games themselves can be blurrier. Me saying the game would look more attractive to the former by having a PvP-off mode, then having people immediatly agree with it soon afterwards is a good example of where those lines are drawn.
I disagree. I think most gamers have found enjoyment in both MP and SP. It's relatively rare for gamers to be exclusive MP or exclusive SP. Just how rare is the question.
You didn't say anything I disagree with. Having a PvE exclusive mode would appeal to more people on the left side of the spectrum.
Again, it's what "considerable" means. Is 2% of the gaming population considerable or 30%?
Do people have an issue with top down cameras in RTS or MOBAs for the same reason?
What are you calling "Heroes journey era multiplayer" are just normal single player games with some added MP elements, those have been common enough since the 90s. It was already perfectly possible to set up a online/LAN campaign of Baldurs gate 1&2, or play a bunch of console games in the couch with friends. Heck, the MMO craze began back then, and a lot of modern GAAS are just variations of those or just straight up the original concept.
This was my entire thesis. The migration from sports era multi-player to heroes journey era multi-player. You finally understand.
Nothing in the game seemed unfinished. They should shadow drop it tomorrow.
PC seems more solid than the PS5, I had crashes between raids all the time.
