Off the Grid: Why It's Taking the Internet by Storm-My Honest Review!

[@Gavlar040378]

It’s promising but obviously needs work. My main gripes are: - performance on console - not much feedback when taking damage - end game with the circle closing to zero very quickly, and the boring win screen makes winning very underwhelming - there’s potentially too many people in this mode with respawns and the extreme mobility and it’s too hectic at times - audio needs improved as it’s very difficult to be aware of what’s around you Really enjoying it despite the above and I hope they improve it because it has massive potential. I’d really like solos and duos modes too.

[@jaffainc]

Defo agree with a lot of these points for sure!

[@joshblystone9347]

I really enjoy both watching and playing this game! Knowing that it is early access, I'm hoping the devs can fix some of the performance issues but all in all, it's a nice game.

If u dont like brs dont play it then we dont need your criticism this game is great

[@jaffainc]

ive played BRs professionally for the past 8 years. I know a lot about the genre, but no game is perfect!

[@bergdk237]

What, i played it for a few hours and uninstalled it😆 It has a very long way to go before i would consider it even a decent running game.

[@MattMorii]

if i wanted to play a third person battle royale i would literally just play pubg for a multitude of reasons. 1) PUBG is overall just a better game than this. (it looks better. runs better. plays better. 2) it looks like just another typical battle royale that offers NOTHING in terms of actual originality.(just mashing different things together). and 3) it looks like another bog standard mobile game that gets a release on steam to overwhelmingly negative reviews. people are sick and tired of these battle royale and extraction shooters that are saturating the market with the same cookie cutter gameplay mechanics to one up eachother. it's overdone. and it just isnt a good game. this game will have it's niche audience. but i doubt it will survive for long.

Will be dead in 3 months time as 1. streamers stop being shills for it with their promotion. 2. they don't optimize the shit out of it. A game that looks as average as this does should not run so badly...

[@SeanBeep]

He went into the game files and changed the graphics, this isn’t how it actually looks. Also the dev team has made some huge changes since play test, they’ve come a long way since then

[@nheptunez9358]

Just get a better pc haha ps5 runs perfect you prolly just suck at the game

[@IsSalty]

@@nheptunez9358ps5 doesn’t have forced ray tracing on the CPU, my PC would smoke your ps5 in every single benchmark, I get 40fps on average on this garbage game. You’re playing a downgraded graphical version of the game on ps5.

[@willgrupe7653]

tf u yapping about, the game looks great and runs just fine on my ps5 lmao

[@IsSalty]

@@willgrupe7653 Anyone with a decent graphics card that plays modern RTX games think the graphics are bang average. PlayStation players think it looks great because it’s upto modern PlayStation graphical standards. The PC version is forcing ray tracing onto the CPU for absolutely no reason, so the game looks and performs poorly. I don’t mean this as a dig, but PlayStation players really aren’t the benchmark for what great graphics look like. Pretty much all modern graphically demanding titles are watered down for console. On PC where this game should be thriving, it looks bang average if you have a top tier PC, if you have a mid range PC capable of playing at PS5 levels, you have to drop the graphics to potato levels to get 50fps.

[@LosAngelesBeast1218]

All these games are the same...the gaming industry will never recover.

[@IsSalty]

This game is taking the internet by storm? Since when? Quite literally the only ones raving about this game seem to be KZbinrs and a small minority of players, the vast majority online are saying it’s awful, and it is. I find it quite strange just how many KZbinrs are creaming this game can calling it “unbiased” when it’s very clearly biased.

[@jaffainc]

Have you watched the video? If you had you’d know I talked about the negatives of the game as well.

[@IsSalty]

@@jaffainc Yeah I watched it, I agree with all of the negatives, the devs have made some of the most amateur mistakes I’ve ever seen, such as taking ray tracing, a technology that was essentially pioneered by NVIDIA and they created cards specifically designed for real time ray tracing, and forcing those calculations onto the CPU, which doesn’t have those capabilities, even the highest end CPUs are less efficient at ray tracing than a budget RTX card. This is a decision the devs made for absolutely no reason. It’s mindblowing. This game will be dead within a few months, the only thing Off the grid will kill is people’s wallets if they buy into the crypto. But to reiterate, it’s not taking the internet by storm, a small minority seem to love it, the rest of the gaming community by and large think it’s a mess.

[@TheDem1on]

taken the Internet by storm? haha. what do they pay u?

[@kingkovic]

it has more players then warzone actually

[@IsSalty]

@@kingkovic Where is your evidence for this? There are no public player counts anywhere. Warzone has estimated 350k concurrent players across all platforms and 60 million monthly active users. Where is your evidence that this unoptimised mobile shooter is bigger?

[@musestarlight1]

Does it even matter though warzone still boring AF bro
