Been watching streams of this game and I am seriously considering canceling my pre order. I wanted this game to be good so bad but everything I have seen and read says this game is below mediocre at best and just plain boring at worst. Terrible quest design decisions like the main story requiring you to collect random chest in order to progress the campaign. Playing this game in Single Player on any difficulty other than easy is a chore because even some fodder enemies have shields that require two magazines to deplete, and no, you can't prime shielded enemies for combos. Terrible spawn points for when the game auto match makes you into an existing game and you get literally cut off from the rest of your squad because of a locked door. When you go down, you still can't view what your squad is doing because there is no free camera on death; you're just stuck looking at your broken Javelin. From what gameplay I have seen the voice acting is pretty good and the game looks great and the controls seem better than what they where in the demo.
EA screwed themselves with the staggered release dates. If everyone got a copy the same day, they could have at least got sales from people who didn't know the game was this "meh" but now, more people can see how "meh" the game is and just not buy it. I fear BioWare will not last much longer...
BS PR statement. EA has made 2 games during the time of the deal. When the franchise wasn't exclusive, far more Star Wars games were made and most of them where far better, even considered classics. But of course they are not going to publicly attack one of their partners. That's bad for business and scares investors. "Everything's fine. Everything's fine..." while the room is burning around them.
When I can play the game, it's fun as hell. The gun play and combat mechanics are enjoyable. The enemies feel a bit bullet spongy and they will horde the hell out of you. Guns sound great, environments are beautiful, movement is fluid. Enemy A.I. I feel is not that smart. There are a lot of staggers. Sound design is good. Honestly I would buy this game. But holy hell the load times and lag are terrible. I really feel like I am playing a Beta and not a Demo. And that is BS. I spent money to pre order this game and was promised a Demo; which is a slice of a "complete" and "functioning" game but 80% of the time I am looking at a load screen wondering if I got trapped in a infinite load screen or is the game still match making. The net code is absolute crap and I could not progress at all because of frequent disconnects and infinite load screens. EA/BioWare needs to fix this before the beta ends because I am seriously considering getting my money back and waiting until this game goes on sale AFTER the fix the connectivity issues. EA/BioWare has to know that this is literally there last shot after the Starwars Battlefront 2 fiasco.
@soliaired50: Actually, I would disagree. As a fan of the Prime series, I was really bummed to hear that Retro wasn't working on it. Now, I am far more confident Prime 4 will be as good as Prime 1-3. If it means we get a good Prime game I am fine with it. Not that I thought Other M was a bad game, but I really didn't like what they did to the story and to the character of Samus. Retro was far more respectful to the classic games when it came to the cannon. It's not the best news, but it's good news Retro is on the project even if it means a reset.
This is getting freaking dumb. I already despise I have to pay for Netflix, Hulu, Crunchy Roll, and Funimation to get the shows/anime I want. I already pay for Spotify to get the music I want. Now they want us to pay for multiple streaming services to get the games we want to play? Screw that. If there is one digital entertainment media I will own it is video games. I don't own movies, I don't own music, all those forms of media are either streamed or rented. By I will own my games.
Wow, so Gamespot rated Persona 5 dancing game lower than the Persona 3 version because they felt the burlesque scene was over sexualized? What is this? 1890? That's like calling French Can-Can dancers overly sexual. Really would like to know what classifies as classy sexy if burlesque no longer fits.
@Barighm: must have played it back in 2014 because it's one of the best feeling games to play. Every action is responsive and the movement is extremely fluid. I will say, there is a lot of advance movement features and some of the squishier Warframes require excellent understanding of the Parkour system in order to survive high level content. So there is definitely a learning curve to the controls. But when you master it, there is nothing more rewarding than chaining head shots while wall running, aim gliding over enemies and stabbing your dual swords through their torso.
