I really hope the final version is A LOT better. So far not very impressed. The weapons lack any sort of tactile feel. The sound design is almost non-existent. The graphics are just garbage, especially for an Unreal 3 engine game. The gameplay is straight up boring. It's like a worse version of MAG. At least MAG had moments where it was fun. This game is not good. I understand this is a beta, but wow, put some effort into drawing the player in. The menu system is also very tedious an poorly assembled. It's almost as if they're trying really hard to make a bland, generic shooter feel deep with overly complicated menus.

I can hear the typing already, but the fact is, this is a beta, and frankly we aren't supposed to like this game yet. If we do something is wrong.

wut

There are plenty of betas I played where they made huge improvements, but I still liked it.

Isn't the point of a game to like it? If we don't like it anymore than the 1st build, then isn't all the work null and void?

Its not the end of the world if there is a bad patch or something, but a game can trend towards being more or less fun in the long run.

I just said that to make a reference to all the winers.

And plus, no, we aren't supposed to like a beta. It is a plus, but we are supposed to test it and make it better.

I mean the ultimate goal of the bet is to have a game people like, and I just kind of assumed that if a beta is progressing well, people will like it more and more as time goes on, not look at it as their job or the daily grind until all of a sudden, release comes and OMGWTFBBQ I <3 TIHS GAEM SOOO MUCHH Just my opinion tho. I reasoned not liking a game = not makin progress.
