[@armsdealer75]

Looks more like outriders tbh

[@A_mir0_0]

But worse….

[@Riddletold]

wow... they sure did improve the hook... it looks so much better than before. 5:26 ajax is clearly a gigachad with that white beard coming out of the helm, special forces veteran granpa protagonists have a special space in my heart since mgs.

[@luxter858]

The grapple looks much cleaner

[@sheene.c9455]

Everyone says it’s Destiny,Warframe,Outriders & Anthem vibes but from cutscenes I’m getting Appleseed Ex-machina vibes. Ajax gives strong Briarios energy !

[@uzuchihanasuke1221]

That'd be the animefan in you talking...and it's right...

[@dododino9418]

damn yah, loved that anime

[@riddif]

Damn Appleseed, you making me old

[@MrJacobleeroy]

You’re spot on!

[@PhatsouL87]

The game looks Appleseed-ish. But seems to have the system similar to the other games mentioned.

[@sfturbo]

That bad guy looks so badass

[@SonnysEdge]

The game looks promising and gives me vibes of Vanquish, Appleseed, and Anthem. I'm glad they chose a third-person perspective. Minor improvements, such as enhancing melee combat with a cyber sword for cutting or tearing through enemies, could elevate the experience. Introducing more advanced enemies, bombs, and other elements has the potential to be a game-changer.

[@Charles_Harrington]

They designed Ajax knowing everyone would pick him

[@SRP379]

So we can finally play as Lord Shaxx...

[@mbphilipblack8993]

Hahahaha for real Ajax is literally him😂😂😂

[@yoshighomi]

Dang... the impact of the bullets and the sound effects are crispy! Loving this. There are some minor complaints, like the sound of the grappling hook, but overall the game isnt looking too bad.

[@Chocobooo92]

Pardon , but what?! The shooting sound effects are so flat and lack of impact. Check the destiny. This is how it should to be done.

[@Userdoesnotexit]

'' the game isnt looking too bad.'' wtf you mean >?? u blind. the game looking amazing

[@Userdoesnotexit]

nah this one does sound crisp @@Chocobooo92

[@yoshighomi]

@DreamHighAnimation clearly because the game is still in production. I'm not here to debate but giving my opinion, so not sure why this needs an explanation.

[@God-T]

okay not gonna lie this actually seems like a solid game with some high stakes i'm actually gonna buy this game.

[@wehappyfew9501]

Gives me a vibe of Destiny, Warframe and Anthem rolled into one but it looks really cool

You’re know your getting old when this game gives you serious Vanquish vibes back on the PS3. Really digging the character designs and overall art direction. It’s just to bad it’s going to be another ftp, looter-shooter slog.

[@COA5T]

If you go to the website and look at the Dev notes, the Main Producer said that he does not want melee to be a main focus of combat in his game. It's there as a tool, but he prefers ballistics and skills to be the core combat.

[@cbl3git77]

Playing the beta gives me the same feeling as anthem. This could be an amazing game but it depends on how the community act towards it and if its a game that can truly be played for years since its an mmo

[@riothegod5750]

it’s not an mmo dawg

@@istealpopularnamesforlikes3340 People are foolish and gullible. Looks no better than any of the other 3rd person looter shooters that have failed for the past decade. This one just has better lighting cause its made in UE5 and that is doing most of the work for them. That's literally it. Most likely going to see a lot of games get overpraised for doing the bare minimum when it comes to UE5

[@IseoluwaCobham]

This game for some reason reminds me of anthem

[@beherid5111]

Im happy they changed up the big dudes voice a bit, it was throwing me off. Full metal alchemist type beat.

[@maxrathgeber4485]

the script for some of this dialogue was... questionable. And the enemy AI made it look like an UE5 tech demo. Oh and the "here's how to beat the boss before you even start fighting" is what all modern gamers want in this post-BOTW era. We want our hands held, yes, for sure.
