[@TheCe1ticZombie]

Cool. I thought it was from the devs.

[@Thraakull]

it deffinitely is an interesting and INNOVATIVE new take on the shooter genre, basically it is the most unhinged military-themed anime that you partake-in once the game starts

[@WolfDarkrose]

games meant to be an anti shooter. so think spec ops the line. you are dirt and your reminded it a lot

[@802Garage]

This was SOOO well done. It truly captures what it feels like to play this game. It's the most fun I have had gaming in years. Yes, the game is unfinished and there are lots of flaws. However, if you go in with an open mind and choose to be immersed rather than focusing on every little flaw, there is so much to enjoy. The best part is the game is only going to get better. The devs have already pledged changes to the controversial water system and other aspects along with obviously finishing the game. They've already released two patches that fixed a ton of bugs. This game is a unique experience and I hope you all give it a shot!

[@soraxd5093]

They better don't change the water for crying babies.

[@Abaddon_09]

Hopefully this game can get the help to keep it going forward. I just find it crazy that PC players will blindly follow a project in the hope it comes good.We shouldn't even be getting access to unfinished games. Game developers must be absolutely laughing at the vast majority of us game consumers that we will pay for this type of product.

The games atmosphere matches it's playability state. Gritty and inhospitable... I've already locked in 25 hours to the game and can't wait to see what the devs cook with this game. The style alone is 10/10.

[@MrRafagigapr]

this makes me remember early path of exile or diablo 2 the feeling of being careful with every encounter and not getting complacent is great , I hope like arpgs did before they don't give so much player power through loot that the threat mostly disappears because players become very powerful , if they nail the progression and make harder zones later the game will for sure be some of the most unique things ever made , not making it another pvp game was their best decision

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

@@MrRafagigapr I agree. I do NOT want this game to become easy because of my loot. I don’t mind being able to take tougher fights, but it NEEDS to remind me every time I do so that even a single EXO kill is a HUGE risk and that I can and will get smashed to atoms if I push my luck too hard, no matter what gear I am carrying.

Huge respect for doing a run of elephant mausoleum with no HUD just for the video opening. Good atmosphere.

[@KaikuPen]

My first run there was a post Eurasian victory with endless mist and cyborgs… I ended up on a tank popping them in the head until HK’s came and I sprinted blindly through the trenches to an extract with no ammo left and no loot gained. Its my favourite map!

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

The Mausoleum can be utterly brutal. I legitimately prefer Ashen Mesa in terms of comfort and safety.

[@stephengarforth2753]

i am so glad to find a video of someone giving the game and devs supportive comments. lovely video guys! i hate that so many people are complaining that this isnt a fast paced shooter. people are saying that you die too easy that gunplay isnt snappy and reactive and that the game shouldnt have released yet "the game isnt complete" no it isnt complete and it isnt supposed to be cod "but it has guns and is third person, the devs dont know how to make games" the devs have stated that the game isnt meant to be a power fantasy shooter, either learn to enjoy something out of your comfort zone or accept this isnt for you.

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

Less so now than in the opening days of EA. The devs patched that REALLY quick when people complained about how quickly HKs jumped them just for looting. They now require either significantly more loot value, OR more kills to your name before they’ll spawn in. They also don’t spawn close to you anymore, though they WILL track you down regardless of where you go and prioritize you unless something else is actively attacking them. Not my _favorite_ implementation of the mechanic at present, but serviceable for sure.

Very excited for this one! The Ai, player movement and gunplay all look quite janky from what I've seen in videos, but that's the kind of thing that should be fairly easy to iron out on the road to a full release. What it already has is a super compelling and original art style and what look to be very well designed maps, which is actually the hardest stuff and hence the rarest in current gaming. Really hoping the devs can polish the gameplay up to the level this vision and art style deserve.
