Support NeoGAF

[Kenneth Haight]

I've already maxed out all my credit cards on hundreds of ARC Raiders copies because I anticipated NeoGAF would use this tactic.

[clarky]

Game looks cool, I wish I had gotten into the BETA.

There's another chance to test it out just before launch.

 

[thief183]

Can't wait, I need to get away from Hunt showdown. This looks like could be the one... even if it is third person

 

[Pop]

Easiest decision of my life

Way better than BF6

 

[Shubh_C63]

I am dying to hear this game world's sound. So satisfying.

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

One thing is for sure tho the music in this game is AMAZING

 

[Branded]

Wait, this game is paid?
I always thought it would be free to play for some reason.
One more reason for me not to care. Oh well.

Yup, this sucks. Will wait for a sale then.

 

[Pop]

Its already $40

You just want it free

Interestingly, they said no more playtests just 6 weeks ago. I wonder what changed...

 

[kevboard]

People are saying "oof" at a $40 MSRP? Why..?

1: buying an online only game is always a gamble because if it isn't successful, your money is gone
2: the game has microtransactions
3: because it is not free 2 play, the chances it will have a smaller userbase is higher, which ultimately makes it more likely that it will fail, which ties back to the first point of it being a gamble.

I didn't know this, its a no for me then.

BF6 is going to be taking up most of my time and for a while now I've been on just 1 MP shooter.

Cause they fell for BF6 hype, see them bitching one month after the game is out. That honeymoon phase

I guess that's why I'm a little confused, since BF6 is a $70 game.


Both look great to me

 

[Alpha Male]

This plus Battlefield = gaming heaven

You could apply this to almost any paid for GAAS game though. BF6 for example.

Both games had very successful beta's.

I didn't know this, its a no for me then.

BF6 is going to be taking up most of my time and for a while now I've been on just 1 MP shooter.

Battlefield 6 also has microtransactions and is almost twice the price.

Microtransactions is a no for you, so you buy a game which is more expensive and has microtransactions as well? Eh, makes sense.

Thats what I thought.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Looks really cool and I've had my eye on it, but really bad timing with BF6. I never preorder anyway though, ESPECIALLY when it's a new multiplayer extraction release. BF6 is my priority, and I haven't preordered that either (why would I).

 

[Gonzito]

So what type of games is this? Does it have a story mode? Can I play it solo?

 

[Branded]

40 ain't a sale for a multiplayer game lol. I'll pay 15eu on the grey market.

 

[clarky]

Its a PVPVE extraction shooter, a very good one. If you are after story and solo play your are probably barking up the wrong tree, however....

Excellent environmental story telling.

You can play it solo and it will match you against other solos but it can be quite rough.

 

[geary]

Think of it as the evolution of Tarkov and Hunt Showdown....Something Marathon begs to be...

 

[8BiTw0LF]

Deluxe Edition for me. It's Embark, so a no-brainer. They made The Finals, which is the most complex and unique FPS since Team Fortress and has the best MTX system (buy stuff - get more stuff free), abundant seasons with weekly events.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

I thought this was a F2P Nexon game or am I thinking of something else?

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Same here. CDKeys or similar, I'm not paying more than £15 for any new online shooter.

I wish they'd get away from that "All skins must be a hue of brown" thing they got going on. I usually buy one Battle Pass for these games but nothing I see has peaked my interest yet.

All seems pretty muted from what ive seen so far. Here's some other skins I found.

I am embarrassed to ponder how much my preference for Marathons art direction / characters has bouyed my interest in that game.

mtx can easily be ignored when all the maps will be free to all players and BF6 is actually a good game lol

I'm no longer going between many MP titles these days and BF6 is the easy choice for me.

But you said the reason for skipping Arc was the MTX. It will also have all free content. That's all I was pointing out.

Yes BF6 will also be my preferred title but ill also play this as well. But if i had to choose I'd probably go BF6 as well as its were my group will be mainly.

 

[Scary_Larry]

BF6 is going to eat this game's lunch. Should have released it earlier and at a cheaper price.

It might have a bigger launch, but Battlefield will always Battlefield. Players will start dropping 3 - 4 weeks after launch because that formula isn't built to last.

To be fair, it was announced as a f2p game.

Wasn't that years ago when it was a completely different genre?

Puh, i dont remember, been a while. It was a different genre?

 

[clarky]

Yes it was originally a PVE co-op shooter until they pivoted at some point to the extraction shooter it is today.

Here's the OG trailer from 2021.

 

[Negotiator101]

Didn't play but it's looks terrific, is it a slow paced shooter?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

...is it a slow paced shooter?

 

[clarky]

Didn't play but it's looks terrific, is it a slow paced shooter?

Very much so.

Explore, do missions. PVE and some PVP.

Or just camp an extract with me and let everyone else do the graft.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Companies care about the competition this much?
