The incredibly BLAND graphics, the lag, the multitude of weapons that all end up being small variations of eachother and all look and feel pretty much the same with minor RoF and damage attributes.. I could go on, but my point is, regardless of all the attention to detail in the customization, the game itself just simply licks the sweat off a dead donkey's dry salty ballsack.
Dude... if all you want is "shiny graphics" go watch the demos... again...and again...and again.
I'd take a game with deep complexity any day over a Vapid game made only for VISUALS.
So many gamers are simply towed around by their eyeballs like a donkey after that Carrot-On-A-Stick. As soon as it take a little bit for them to stop and think about something, suddenly they're scared witless because the shiny graphics can't save them anymore...

It's no wonder they're charging $20 for the Mercenary Pack, because that's the most money they'll be able to extract from people who've yet to play the game. A majority of people will end up disgusted and only a small minority, even smaller than the niche gamers in MAG and S8P will stick with this game simply due to it being a free game and possibly out of pure boredom. Once the final product releases on PSN, people will download, try it out and most will never touch it again. That's the single biggest reason they released the Mercenary pack, to milk all the eager and optimistic and people who like me, think this game has huge potential.
Unless the gameplay is seriously overhalled FROM SCRATCH, this game will fail within months of release. The ONLY thing that'll keep this game alive in the long term is the fact that it's free, which will entice the players with the absolute lowest of standards and that market alone.
Its a Beta.. meaning ITS ALWAYS BEING OVERHAULED FROM SCRATCH. Of course some people don't like to think, as documented in prior quote. Not to mention this segment again:

You just said "This game will fail, because it will succeed." If a game stays alive, it's economically sound. If a game is economically sound, that means it has succeeded.

I LOVE the depth of the dropsuit customization system, the market place and all the other details that allow you to customize your character to your needs, the MMO influence from Eve Online really shows in this regard.. but at the end of the day it's the gameplay that completely and utterly ******* SUCKS! It feels like an extremely budget version of MAG and Section 8 Prejudice combined, except it feels even MORE cheap and budget (in fact I feel like getting back into both of those games right now)
I sincerely wanted this game to conquer and succeed, but the fact is the gameplay just ain't fun.. although it has the scope and potential to be, it SO does! that's why I'm so genuinely disappointed.
So from me, goodbye and good riddance.
Definition of BETA: You ask other people to test things REPETITIVELY so you can figure out what is broken or needs to be changed.
You're basically telling everyone here that you came and "didn't want to test things repetitively". Why in the world did you sign up for a BETA then? Seriously? You're complaining that YOU chose to do something. We are not being given everything at once, because they need a good quantity of data on the items they give us before they drop a new one on the field. That means we're going to be doing the same things over... and over... and over again.
It's kind of like volunteering to work at a Zoo, then breaking down hysterically because there are too many people around you pointing at animals. |
