    It’s the Toyota Camry of extraction shooters.

    I’d encourage folks to watch some gameplay videos on this instead of just reading this article. Every one I’ve watched showed gameplay that looked like lot of fun and the folks playing had a much different opinion than this. Looks a lot more interesting than Marathon at the very least.

    lol, it’s Jared Petty… I’ve not seen a single positive preview or review from him since he started doing IGN articles. No hate to the guy, I liked when he did Kindafunny content back in the day, seems like a genuinely nice dude… but… this doesn’t seem like a game he’d like (he’s more of a retro games and RPG kind of guy). Also IGN has plummeted in my expectations with a lot of the drama as of late (people quitting and corporate ownership). I played a few rounds this morning, loving it so far, but I’ve also been pumped for this game for a long time! So I’m definitely biased and I’ve also not played enough to say it’s AMAZING! But I have watched multiple people play (JackFrags and OperatorDrewski were both great) and I’d suggest you watch those instead of taking an IGN article from this dude as your final opinion.

    I’ve been playing Tech Test 2 on Xbox and I think it’s fantastic. Huge fan of The Finals so this has been on my radar for the past year or so. The game looks great and I love the art style. It’s like stepping into 70s sci-fi, like the Atari Missile Command cover art, in the best way possible. Fun gameplay, interesting mechanics and a lovely mix of ideas that work well together. Definitely looking forward to the release.

        For AAA games. Make a barely serviceable game with the least possible effort so that it can serve as a wrapper for micro transactions.

          Live service, sure, since that’s the entire point of live service, but we’re spoiled for choice of fantastic games across different scopes and scales that don’t have any microtransactions at all.
