Day 1, i suck bad at FPS but this is a whole different beast.
For those who played the alpha/are more informed than me:
-Is there a lot of enemies diversity? I keep seeing the usual ones with 4 arms or the cyborgs.
-Are there bosses like those spider-tanks?
-How big is the exploration component?
-Are the shooting mechanics good for entry-level players?
1) Enemy diversity is pretty nice. There are two factions, each with their own different types of enemies. Think Halo. You've got your Brutes, Elites, grunts, etc. Then you've also got flying enemies, and big "Wizard" enemies that fly around and have shields and stuff. Enemy diversity is good.
2) There are some big bosses. There are named enemies (think Diablo) and then they have big bosses like the Spider Tank. Bosses seem awesome, and there is usually some strat to take them down, not just shoot them until they die.
3) Exploration is pretty disappointing to me. It's cool to roam around and do random missions at first, but there really isn't much to find. There are cool nooks and crannies, but you're not really rewarded for finding them. The random exploration missions are pretty much MMO filler. Go here, kill that, bring back 10 random pieces of shit you pick up from a certain enemy. Note that my disappointments may be because of the limited content offered in the alpha. I'm not making any real judgements on it until later, but thats my current feeling on it.
4) The shooting mechanics are amazing and is what has kept me playing this game. Really tight and satisfying, but hard to explain. You have to experience it yourself.
