Game looks rough but the ability to kill pretty much anyone and really cause some trouble is an instant selling point. Probably can have a ton of fun just playing a bad guy and killing all the towns off.

Its too bad this game doesnt have a trimmed down single player mode.

The gameplay looks to be built around the cashshop to get people to spend money. I like single player ARPG games but online... just no chance I can put that kind of time into it.

The game has and also advertises Ultrawide support, I love this, sells the game instantly to me. Whatever developer ported this game is my kind of company.

Even now, I've seen so many PC exclusive games that still only offer 16:9, it's just shameful when you make a game for a powerful platform like PC and only offer standard widescreen....

and you can't say its hard to support 21:9, because it's not... i've seen countless PC games fixed and hacked to support 21:9 by random people over the years who don't even have access to the source code and do it through hex edits and third party software. Support for it should standard these days but it's still not.

yeah its graphics have that mobile look... even though they are very clean and well done for what they are.

Gameplay is turn based, not fun turn based though, i dunno why they keep making games like this. You can have fun turn based, Divinity OS, that is turn based and can really get random and crazy things happening during battles... but you won't get that here, its like an old FF game with a few gimmicks.

I kept wanting this to be almost like an action rpg game with the same look, but the boring turn based system, i just couldn't stick with it. I liked the voice acting, just seems wasted in this basic game.

Some reviewers are mentioning the slow start, the lack of different biomes, the bland and very repetitive design of interiors and the weak voice acting for the alien races. Gameplay is still great though.

It's seems like a much better attempt at being a Halo game than 343's previous releases but still not quite as good the original trilogy.

are there eventually more varied biomes like snow and jungle etc? Cause from gameplay i seen, just looks all the same.

I never liked the jungle much since its hard to see enemies, but I loved the winter areas in the first games.

I like how it looks a lot like the original game.

However, one big lacking visual thing I seen from gameplay videos is there seems to be no jungle or winter environments, just that standard grassy one we saw in mostly the first few levels of the original game.

Guess I'll find out when I play it, just seems weird they lack the varied environments when compared to the original game.

So much microstuttering in this game. 0.1% lows in every of the 3 games are as low as a 3-5 fps. Also have to lower the shadows and lighting engine to low-med or the cpu bottleneck is crazy and will hit the fps to averages of 20-30... and this is on an overclocked 11700k i7.... for a 20 year old game?

This is so noticeable in a game where you are driving constantly, the stuttering is so bad and makes no sense since the originals run like butter smooth on new hardware but these games stutter? You'd think a new release the game would at least run as good or better since they've had 20+ years to optimize them. Also they are using the unreal engine, they should be able to use multiple cores, why are there stuttering and cpu bottlenecks, makes no sense.

I don't get the people who made this release, any PC you run this on you would notice terrible performance and fps stuttering, how do you actually have so little integrity to ask money for this?

u wont be saying it deserves more than a 7, when in a few months they find a way to cram in a ton of microtransactions. Not exactly sure how but maybe they'll sell DLC thats near impossible and then try to sell items to allow you to finish it.

I never understood the point of cosmetics in a first person shooter game... you only see your character in a few cutscenes or when ur swapping out some armor or guns.

I guess maybe a bit when ur in a vehicle but even that is pretty brief and you can barely see your character when ur driving.

yeah its a pretty fun game... i held off getting it at launch cause I thought it'd be terrible, but I like it a bit more than Borderlands 2. Its a bit too long though, feels like all things I do in the game are a bit repetitive.
