Mixed emotions.... Don't know what to think of the game.

[Buruko]

I still can't tell if i like this game. At all! It leaves me dissatisfied but the pvp is probably the only fun thing i could see myself playing maybe an hour of per day.

Also I have to ALT+F4 to get out of the game because the game menu is just down right ******ed and i spent over 5-10min trying to figure out where the exit game button was.

What dissatisfies you about the game exactly?

A lot of PC players dislike the UI cause it was designed for ease of console use (different input devices) however the logout is under the 'Settings' option of the EGO wheel at the lower left hand corner of the window you open with your character in it. There is also a key that takes you straight to settings to bypass some of these extra clicks.

I personally see it going 100% f2b/f2p in the next few months (They probably see that too so they put the cash shop in it) It gives me the feel of a cash grab (like a Zombie game which recently came out which i will not name.) And like every f2p shooter that's out there.

I would wager a reduction on price after say 3 to 6 months, but I don't believe the client will ever be free. The model they are using is not based on in-game purchases as all the items are cosmetic or convenience none of them are needed to advance or play the game.

A cash grab is very much like the game you did not mention where the only way to play or participate is to buy external content, other wise your play time suffers. They have nothing like this in their setup.

What are your favorite things about this game? and what do you dislike about it? I'm curious if this is just me or if a lot of people are feeling the same way.

Like:
- Open world
- great story
- combat scales with player count
- the shooting is great
- customization options of weapons
- weapons have a unique feel not just among type but also 'brand'
- vehicles are a blast
- the lore and universe are fantastic
- the game has balance so I can play alone or in-group

Dislike:
- waiting for the show to see more tie-in content

I've sat here for 20 minutes after the first dislike, even that is kinda trivial, to think of something I do dislike and other than on a few occasions biting off more than I can chew I haven't really encountered a deal breaker that would make me go 'whoa WTF' just yet. But we'll see if that changes, at the moment I'm having a blast.

I have a feeling from the snippets we have seen from the trailers of the series we are gonna have to dish out some serious whoop arse on the Volge after Defiance has sent them packing.

my problem though, is the supposed DLC, doesn't seem to be DLC in the same sense were used to. They may add some extra exclusive DLC missions, but they still said they're updating the game for everyone to play, since it's a persistent world. And most of the stuff they detailed out for the first DLC is just a new vehicle, a new hat, a few new guns, maybe a new outfit. So it's all the same stuff now that we can pay for (essentially). They're just spoonfeeding more of it to us over time. It doesn't necessarily mean new PLAYABLE content. Just more content.

I personally am interested to see just how much content they release after each episode. If it's a pittance, then you'll play for an hour between episodes to do the single mission. But if it's lots of new content (as there's quite a large unexplorable map left for us currently) then I will stick around. Otherwise in about 2 weeks the new dead island game comes out. Which ironically, I feel is more of a playable MMO (even though it's not) than this. There still is more social interaction and tons of loot and player progression and such. But still, it's just an online buddy shooter anyway. But at least I feel like there's more buddies. Anyway, enough of that.

Okay there is the 5 DLC packs they have planned, and then there is the expanding content that is coming with Episodes they are not one in the same. The 5 DLC packages have been stated that they will not penalize the community as a whole requiring them for purchase to keep the story/game going. However there will be content exclusive to those that purchase the packages: playable race, weapons, vehicles, perhaps specific side quests, or different story tie-ins. Who knows! Which is why this is so awesome, it's nothing like anything before.

The Episode content I imagine will be a few additional missions here and there, or part of a set of story missions driven by show events. But I doubt it would be many hours of game play time. Which is fine, you could be getting that kind of content each week, we'll have to wait and see.

my big dislike, and only real dislike, is knowing that there's a major patch coming in a week. I want to play, but I know that my experience will be better next Monday.

Of course, the only bugs I've encountered are falling through the world in the same 2 places - can't complete a pursuit because of it, and the loadout 2 bug.

Hoping there'll be a UI update to make it easier to manage my tight inventory, I'm riding at a 32/34 most of the time around ego 470.

Have you found the logout menu yet?

It probably took me about an hour or two to kind of "get into" the game, after that I was hooked. I don't really care abgout the lack of chat, because everyone just ends up trolling each other anyway. But you can still chat in co-op groups if other people are interested in talking.. Game is good for casual fun and I just try to enjoy it for what it is

[Jeronan]

For me it's the total oposite. I absolutely hate the PVP in this game. Next to the terrible itemization, it's actually one of it's worse implemented features.

[Giromba]

I agree with somethings...
I dont like to wait until the game become enjoyable, I payed for a Full game
almost every mission is same thing and almost every guns sucks
but the gameplay Its cool
Its seems to be another GW2, another 1 week game

[ironhands]

why does almost every gun suck?

[Dantos]

My main dislike is the whole gun leveling thing. That way I could junk a sizable portion of my inventory. I try to carry around 2-3 copies of the same gun type I use, I dont mod anything because I know I'll be tossing my current gun after a short while.

Other than that, I wish there were more vehicle types, arkfall types, environment types, just visual diversity I guess. The last perk equipped constantly disappearing also ticks me off a bit.

Also chat, the world seems so quiet and lonely

[Giromba]

just the 85 ammo clip rifle with 420 dmg and 1k+ dmg snipers its good to kill a big amount of guys.
pistol, shotguns, plasma rifles, 220 dmg rifle isnt good to do missions.
maybe Granade lunchers can do some damage but inst that good
