I went back and played some more, and most of my thoughts haven't changed, except:
They really rushed through the prologue. Maybe slow it down, do some more exploring...actually give time to get to know the people before everything goes to hell. Your character goes into the typical rough life talk..... It's so BASIC.
Let the prick bad guy at the start have a slow build at being a prick instead of just suddenly.
Games and shows these days act as if everyone has ADHD.
Do something about character creation. Why is it a lot of games now have the same damn shaved heads? Why do most of the guy faces look the same, and why can body styles be different?
It's all cookie cutter patterns. Lazy.
I did like the death animations, skin and flesh tearing off bones or whatever, but it shouldnt happen all the time.
Story could be OK, but plays like a bad late night scifi movie. The woman who puts you in cryo is stupid aggressive to you for no damn reason when you first meet her again, everyone calls you outrider...how about the people that know you call you by...your name?
They make being an outrider sound like it should BE something with no actual anything to back it up.
Is it the same handful of people that work on the same games? Mass Effect Andromeda, Anthem, Destiny, Avengers?
Can something kinda original pop up? Geez.
Must be like the only time we agree on something. It has a decent hook. Can’t comment on story as yet as I skipped just to get a feel for the action.Started playing more of this game on PC and got to the town and rescued Jabuka. At this point, this game is a strong buy. It's using the Gears formula but has way better story, better characters and I love the RPG elements of the game that push it slightly above a typical action shooter.
Strongly recommended.
You spent 2 hours coming up with that comeback.You spent 10 minutes figuring out the cover system.
By that logic you struggled with this one for nearly a day. . .sounds about right.You spent 2 hours coming up with that comeback.
honestly devastator is most definitely the most op class of them all, dont know how people even struggle with it lol
Gonna chime in here that mods will make difference in the long run. For me Technomancer feels a bit meh in the demo due to lack of mods, and modifiers on weapons and skills that are actually usefull. In the Xbox Preview event when I played Technomancer you get some ... fun armor combos where you are able to stack up four grenades, and some other neat stuff.Just finished my second playthrough as a Technomancer and it confirmed my thoughts about how the Trickster class is broken and unbalanced. I was able to complete the rescue of the Captain on the first try with the Technomancer on World Tier 4 while I kept dying with the Trickster. The Trickster doesn't have any long range attacks for such a squishy build. It requires you to get up and close with enemies like a tank but with attacks with paltry damage and high cool downs.
In the mission with the Captain before the end of the demo, you are greeted with snipers and enemies cowardly hiding behind cover. But you have no grenades and no ranged attacks so you have no choice but to get up close with only one attack that actually does any damage.
The Technomancer feels much better. It's not much of a ranged class as enemies bum rush you all the time, but at least you have more than one attack that does damage.
The Trickster is fun on lower world tiers, but on WT 4 it's an exercise in frustration.
you are playing it wrong. i died like once with trickster and multiple times with other 3 characters. you have to teleport around and use the bubble strategic. bubble is for defense in the same time and offense, because you cast bubble and move inside it while killing enemies in close range, medium range or long range easyJust finished my second playthrough as a Technomancer and it confirmed my thoughts about how the Trickster class is broken and unbalanced.

I don't think you read what he wrote. He's saying the game spent 10 mins explaining the cover system.. . .holy hell. You spent 10 minutes figuring out the cover system. Maybe it's not the game here -
Dude. I suck at games and I’m shredding everything on WT5 with the Trickster. Don’t use the blade skill. Pick the skill that buffs your ammo and then you mow everything down.Just finished my second playthrough as a Technomancer and it confirmed my thoughts about how the Trickster class is broken and unbalanced.

Likely an exaggeration...?Sure. . . except it doesn't.
Maybe gaming isn’t a hobby for you because it’s an expensive hobby and if you see this only being worth ten i don’t know what more to say to that ridiculousnessI'd spend 10 dollars on this game and that's about it.

Guess what every game is just rehashed ideas of other games that’s what gaming is nowadays. Gamers have seen and played it all so now its just about making fun and well made games to enjoy. I don’t go into every game looking for it to be the greatest thing just like I don’t for movies,shows or books because that’s just ridiculous.I assure you that is not the reason I find this game bland. Perhaps you need to play some games that aren't just rehashed ideas of other games in the same genre?

IMO Technomancer (at least what is in demo) is no good and I didn't liked to play with him. I guess thats testament to how differ playstyles of all classes are.Just finished my second playthrough as a Technomancer and it confirmed my thoughts about how the Trickster class is broken and unbalanced.

i will try to play it on SDR to see if there is any different between HDR and SDR on PS5. you are not only one who says that consoles has problem with HDR in this game.I've tried the demo on XSX, PS5 and a 2070s PC now. I have a VRR TV so there isn't much between the console versions but they are both clearly not native 4k despite what the marketing suggested.
PC seems ahead performance wise even without DLSS, 75 - 90 fps at 1440p ultra. There's no DLSS in the demo or at least I couldn't see an option for it. My TV is miles better than my monitor but it still looked better on PC - I think there is something wrong with the HDR on console as it doesn't look quite right.
Loading was like 2 seconds on all of the machines.
It controls so much nicer with mouse and keyboard. I'm used to Destiny 2 and that game really flatters your controller skill with all the auto aim but I didn't find controller aiming at all smooth in this game.
I don't think I would buy based on this demo but it's better than I thought it would be. Wait for sale I guess for me.
It’s terrible, game looks markedly better in sdr.i will try to play it on SDR to see if there is any different between HDR and SDR on PS5. you are not only one who says that consoles has problem with HDR in this game.
Every class is good in this game. It just depends on what gear you’re wearing, the mods you use, and the way you play. Trickster especially at the lvl cap in the demo is a monster. The twisted rounds skill can make your damage insane and while you say not to use the blade skill, it’s also extremely good as well for taking out packs of enemies. It’s just a class that’s designed to hit the enemy first and keep moving. That won’t be for everyone.Dude. I suck at games and I’m shredding everything on WT5 with the Trickster. Don’t use the blade skill. Pick the skill that buffs your ammo and then you mow everything down.

This helps. The damn blade takes to long to cool down.Dude. I suck at games and I’m shredding everything on WT5 with the Trickster. Don’t use the blade skill. Pick the skill that buffs your ammo and then you mow everything down.
Games similar to it have gone free to play with only charging for new campaigns & seasonal content. They could follow the same model.Maybe gaming isn’t a hobby for you because it’s an expensive hobby and if you see this only being worth ten i don’t know what more to say to that ridiculousness
This helps. The damn blade takes to long to cool down.
This is definitely a $30 game for me, though. Not dropping $60 on this or any new live service looter shooter after the Anthem debacle. These types of games are generally shit shows for 6 months.

I think back in december they already said there's not live service to this.Not dropping $60 on this or any new live service looter shooter
Apparently this is not live service. You pay once and get it all.This helps. The damn blade takes to long to cool down.

I just started it and I’m not seeing the hype...granted I’m only doing tutorials but eh...I’ll continue playing to see if it clicks for me...I'd spend 10 dollars on this game and that's about it.
I mean I can't believe Outriders has the same shitty issues where mini bosses and mobs take upwards of 5+ minutes to beat even with a good build. They did the same shit as Destiny 2 and Division 2... ooooh wait they didn't.
What do you play when all the sidequest are done? I can't even reach tier 5 world...Had a great time with the demo....will play it off and on until release to get crafting stuff and such.
