I love this game let me just put that out there, and I love what the devs have done to say they only have three small studios and don’t have a big AAA budget what they have put together impressive and they should be proud of themselves.
Sony played a big part in this and I feel they forced out an early release schedule and illfonic had to stick to it and Sony just stuck their name to this for purely profit reasons and couldn’t care less about the devs work and what they had done or not done as long as it hit the deadline.
I like many others feel this game should have been kept in the oven for longer as it needed so much more doing to it. this was released as a finished product far from finished as it shows with the bugs and lack of content and lack of weapons and equipment etc and maps and modes etc, this is an early access game still in its beta stages and is not a full ready release game as people know it.
I feel given the situation we are in with the coronavirus etc that sony wanted it out while people had no choice but to stay in and buy it and play it etc I may be wrong and this may be the devs doing but I feel someone high up made this game release earlier then it should have.
This ain’t no AAA title in some peoples eyes and maybe AA is another reason this beauty wasn’t given the time it needed to grow and Finnish properly. it has been prematurely brought out and that’s a shame as I would have rather waited till the end of the year or even a ps5 release to truly give this gem what it deserved.
Its been out a week and for the life of me, I cant understand why they gave double XP? it basically made everyone rush play the game and unlock everything and get everything within a few days and max out then what are you left with?? again rushed. it’s like sony threw their name on it to make a quick buck and left the mess and the rest fo the dev to pick up.
BUT, I do feel the devs will sort this out as times have changed and I’ve seen bad games turned into amazing games over time both gameplay and visually so I have faith in this team. would I have rather waited till the end of the year or next for a proper fully released game with levels to 150 and 30 weapons unlocked for fireteam and 15 weapons unlocked for the predator and better loot etc and more maps and modes on release and no double XP of cause… the devs will sot this but it will be a slow year of month by month update and week by week patch till we get to a fully polished game we deserved a week ago.
further to add I feel the whole game is rushed from the levelling up to the missions and timer etc this game should feel slow to start with and gradually build up to suspense and then frantic panicking to outright slaughter-fest but with the given timer and peoples need to rush through missions etc I can see why the queue times are getting longer as people, have already maxed out and found he game repetitive and same old same old, I hope this can be balanced out properly to make the missions meatier and fulfilling and getting to the choppa more rewarding and start making people grind in the next update and don’t give away double XP till the game has been out a while.
Anyway thanks ILLFONIC, thanks for bringing my childhood memories back and stay safe.
