Every week or two. Lol. Clockwork, gat damn.

It is still EGS exclusive, probably until October (if they even put it on Steam.. probably though?)

As much as I loathe EGS, I saw it was $30 with a $10 coupon on sale, so I bit with a friend. It was a lot of fun, but holy hell it lacks some real obvious QoL stuff for a looter game.

The combat is fun though. All the issues we had could potentially be patched out, and I am hopeful for that (crashing, "blue screen" freeze, a little desync) .. netcode itself is actually really good though. I would not pay more than $30 for it in its current state, but the game was pretty fun just for the combat. As shitty as both games can be, this game actually handled way better than Outriders did in a lot of ways, and I paid even more for that POS.

Well, still holding out hope for it. Sounds awesome.

This looks friggin' awesome. I've only played (and beaten) Dark Souls 3, but this looks great.

Well, I personally think it was a crappy trailer.. there was no hype on my end.

*snip*

I just meant that it doesn't really hype me up, and seeing the stuff that was normally just possible (like the rendezook/jet eject at the end, or the ATV into a helicopter) shoved into the trailer.. it just felt like a bunch of army guys doing army guy things. Not necessarily Battlefield. Hard to explain. It was a good looking trailer, for sure! I just hope we get a legit BF themed trailer later on (much less, an updated BF theme!), because this just felt very generic to me despite how good it looked.

After actually reading about the game, though, it does sound interesting. Still not preordering, but I will watch it closely. BF5 wasn't treated the best by DICE, however I still enjoyed it at launch.

Well, I personally think it was a crappy trailer.. there was no hype on my end. Needed more battlefield theme.

BUT. I have seen a video by JackFrags and it has alleviated some of my worry. There will be no SP campaign, but there will be bots, I guess. Both SP and presumably filling games. And bots will allow progression. We haven't had bots since BF2! Finally.

Also apparently a battle pass system, free and paid. Paid will primarily just be cosmetics I guess, all gameplay-affecting stuff is in the free track.

And we get a gameplay trailer on Sunday, which I guess is the "reveal" they mention here.

Ehhh.. I mean, I'm looking forward to it but that trailer wasn't all that exciting to me.

(up to) 128 players and 7 maps at launch. Hmm. They must be pretty big maps, guess there's no in-between?

I stopped playing when it went F2P, but I swear every other week is "Warzone players complain to devs about X" or "X being abused in Warzone" hahaha. Sheesh.

God, what have they done to this franchise?

XCOM 3 when?!?

Also the cheapest I have seen TW:Warhammer 2 thus far. Like, half the cheapest price I had seen previously ($20). I am tempted...

... and the reviews are... not great.

Sounds like it needs a few months of patches, but not too surprising considering this studio's last game.

I forgot I bought this, I'll check it out. Eventually. I can only assume that GWS strategy is to employ as many studios as possible with the least amount of money, hoping they get a hit.. eventually.

Instead of making Dawn of War 4 or whatever. :'( Or even a new Space Marine! I hate this so much. Really cool universe and they just throw shit at a dart board instead.

Yep, used to have a very popular ARK server and the devs are very unhelpful. This sounds kinda neat, but from what I've heard the game isn't really going anywhere.

I haven't played in a while, but I recall XCOM 2 forums being aflame when they did something to the old launcher, and it broke a lot of things...

Why the hell would anyone want yet another launcher?!

How long before someone kills themselves in the booth I wonder? Amazon seems so out of touch. All that money, and this is the best they can "muster" for their unhappy staff.

Is there a way to play this without all the MP stuff baked into the main game?

The last time there was a free weekend I thought I'd check it out since I love Wildlands so much.

Well, okay, the first five minutes of gameplay is cool but then I go to this rebel "base" and I see all these dudes running around with their gamer tags over their head. Kinda took me out of the game world and immersiveness.

Not only that, the UI looks expressly designed for MP (at least it looks like they REALLY want you to play mp).

Enough people complained, you can turn off other players in the "base". They also added AI squadmates that you can customize and give orders to, as well as level up. You can dramatically change your personal experience, difficulty, severity of injuries, how plentiful meds are, etc. Lots of control.

It still feels like a weird arcade game with some shoehorned Ubisoft magic, to me, but it's certainly a decent game for most people at this point.

I have tried Gen Zero a few times, from the beta up to the current release, and it just feels empty to me. Huge map, but kinda lacks focus? And they give you WAY too much ammo. I had a suppressed sniper rifle with a ton of ammo within the first hour.

They even give you the DLC weapons (RPG, LMG, etc) right out of the gate (if you own them) which is a bit ridiculous. Any feeling of being outnumbered and alone is just completely murdered by the fact that you are a walking (or bicycling) arsenal.

It doesn’t work on its most basic levels. Armor and weapons have been broken by recent patches. It crashes constantly. Matchmaking is broken. Some classes are useless at endgame and will get auto kicked. If you can get to endgame. it’s not a complicated or innovative game,yet it simply didn’t work at its most basic functions. It couldn’t even provide a simple co-op online looter shooter. Come back in 6 months. If anyone still cares then.

Can vouch for this. I regret buying it. Left a bad taste in my mouth after I finished the campaign with a friend. Felt like a budget game at a AAA price.

Burning Crusade Classic is "free" (still just need a sub). But yeah, charging people just to make a copy of their character lol, jeeze.

Them and F2P don't really mix. But they definitely seem to really want P2W, cut features to sell later and loot boxes in games, so I guess this is the next logical step.
