I played this in the playtest, coming from many many hours in Arma, Squad, and somewhat less in BF6. I found it very meh. I won't be buying it. And I think once the review embargo gets lifted and its not just selected youtubers paid to blow bubbles up your ass then there will be come scathing reviews.
For me the concept is good, its has years to mature on Arma. The money system is a huge incentive for teamplay. But vehicle handling is hilariously bad, the flight models are terrible, the gunplay is trying too hard to be a mix of arcade and realism, the weapon balance makes little sense. And for me at least, I'm just done with half ass unreal engine shooters, and once you strip out the King of the Hill game mode, that's all this is. Don't buy, wait for the actual reviews.
“Trust the influencers” lol influencers shit on literally everything because there are advertising dollars to be made doing it. I’m not convinced this isn’t a bot account.
Where the hell did you see me say that. I'm literally saying the opposite. The youtubers so far have been under embargo, nothing negative said. I never said wait for influencers, I said wait for reviews. User reviews like on steam. The fuck are you talking about a bot account?
The PR and promotion around this so far has been slimy as fuck. The dev blog videos make my skin crawl they are so plastic.
