Looks great, but will this be another game that's mostly about visuals and lacking in the gameplay department? All the gameplay videos I've seen looks like you just spam your weapon trigger until a mob goes down. In fact, I've seen videos where you could be point blank and you still need to shoot several times in the head before they go down. I'm not a big fan of that kind of lazy gameplay.

It's not lazy. This isn't a realistic tactical shooter where a single headshot should be an instant kill. This is an RPG with guns instead of swords. That said, if you're not playing with a potato for a controller, and you aim for the head, fire in bursts and control your recoil (like any other shooter), the time to kill still isn't very high.

Personally, I thought the gameplay felt great, but if you're expecting a game that's completely different than what it is or ever claimed to be, then of course you're going to be disappointed.

The beta was okay but got old over a weekend, the gameplay just doesn't seem to be that deep?

It felt like you needed a pretty solid group to survive in the Dark Zone. I imagine it's only going to get more competitive on release, so I don't think it'll be accessible for someone like me that can't play on anything like a regular schedule for a dedicated group.

The safe zone stuff would get boring quickly too, so going solo or ad-hoc grouping there isn't worth it.

The atmosphere is the main selling point for the game, I don't think it'll have the longevity that some people are hopping for.

The only hook is to grind for higher DPS weapons... so you can kill people and AI faster with no end game?

Are you some kind of wizard? You mean, in like, no other online shooters you don't grind for higher DPS to kill things faster? *mind blown*

Depends on the game, but with this one there's really no competitive multiplayer modes so the satisfaction of being able to kill players faster is short lived.

This game felt like a job.

the reflections in the game dont look anywhere near as good as they do in this video. At least not on my 970 at max settings. In the video, you can clearly see that objects being reflected but in the game (beta) everything had a massive blur to it, removing any and all crisp details.

That's odd. I have a 980, and during the beta, the reflections looked just like in this video. Perhaps you missed a setting, or maybe it was a beta bug?

Couldn't fit the extra texture data in 3.5 gigs.

Looks awesome. Can't wait to play it.
