Oh shit a Lawbreakers thread, I can finally complain about it.

It's shit. The medics were a terrible fucking decision and they ruin the game because of how absolutely useless they are. There should have just been more health pickups. That said the actual gameplay isn't half bad, but it's nothing special.

wasn't it like 50GB?

devs these days have not only forgotten how to compress audio, but how to re-use assets as well

bloated piece of shit

So how's the game? I vowed not to touch it since my counties E3 coverage decided to literally spam the trailer during any stream pause. The cinematic one. Even though seeing it probably 100 times during the event, I still have no idea what you do.

>>385812108
They have not forgotten how to compress audio, they are deliberately doing it. One of the most known contenders of that crime was the first titan fall, 70 gb download of which 55 was pure audio. The excuse back then was to counter pirates.

>>385811815
To be fair this was probably in production since years. They probably realised they are doomed months ago but they couldnt just throw away all the work they did.

>>385812108
That's the new form of anti-piracy messure for 3rd world counties. It works.

>>385812231
Why can't games just feature meh-quality textures and sound and only have you download better ones if you want them?

>>385812216
Its Zone Control, CTF etc. Go watch some gameplay, it looks like absolute garbage.

>>385812231
>The excuse back then was to counter pirates.
That's funny because back then I got faster download speeds p2p than I did from Origin.

>>385812296
Why bother creating two sets of assets?

>>385812356
They have to do that for multiplats anyway

>>385812231
>to counter pirates.
actually its consoles. Decompressing audio takes resources and can be an intensive process

The other way around. Completely unliveable shitholes like Romania have insanely good and cheap internet while burgers are stuck with 500gb a month for 60$.

>>385812291
it works at making me refuse to download it
it's not like a 3rd worlder who can't download 70GB due to shitty internet was going to buy it anyway

also reminder that Overwatch is only 10GB and with all its flaws has an already established playerbase

Couldn't find 10 players half of the time I've played it in the beta.
That said, out of those +-10 matches I've played the game is garbage, uninteresting characters that strongly rely on maps.
Nothing can beat the guy with rail gun in open maps, especially if you played some Quake like me and have some experience with rail gun.

The game is just not fun, not because its unbalanced, but because it bringly absolutely nothing new to the market, and there is no playerbase at all on the start. It's dead on arrival.

>>385811612
honestly as a oldfag it was the most pleasant surprise in years, i am considering to buy it. this game is not for casual kids since it is all skill baby. no press Q to win, this is literally how a good class based FPS should play like. if you don't like it, your probably shit at FPS

The problems with Lawbreakers is the gravity gimmick makes it so hitscans dominate. It was already annoying going up against a good Gunslinger in the closed beta but in the open one he was pretty much the new Wraith. Even I was doing good with him and I get like 35% accuracy with these kinds of characters.

atleast they make example for other companies not to tackle on more successful franchises.

>>385813450
Every country in Europe has beautiful landscapes like on the picture. The average wage there is like 300$, how you like that?

>>385812430
The irony is the game was developed for PC yet it's still a bloated mess. Compare to Quake Champions which looks the same yet is only 16GB.

>>385811612
I had high hopes for this game but i really found it to be bleh. there are many many questionable design choices in this game. A lot of this game is marketed as a return to form of the skill based arena shooter but then they make it class-based and focus on objectives instead of frags? its nature strikes me as counter-intuitive as you're suddenly on the back foot relying on your team mates more and devaluing the nature of individual skill. the best way to win a game is to win a team fight. In which case everyone should just pick the best character at fragging. (which would probably be gunslinger i guess).

Movement feels strangely stiff and bad in a game thats marketed with the Zero-G elements. if you dont cleanly enter the Zero G-zone you'll struggle to gain any sort of momentum. there aren't that many movement skills suited to it i feel, as a lot of them are vertical instead of horizontal

Visually this game is awful. all of the characters profiles look exactly the same so its hard to instantly tell whats what and what is the best course of action against certain enemies immediately. not even taking into account their complete lack of personality or general interesting elements.

>>385811612
Acceptable gunplay. Movement is floaty, both literally because of the antigravity gimmick, and in the bad way. Maps are small and have Overwatch-tier simplistic and boring level design albeit with a bit more verticality. The game modes are utter garbage; you get to choose between KotH and like 3 different flavours of CTF none of which are good. Visual design is uninspired, and the characters are boring and forgettable edgelords with no personality. Gameplay-wise there's some reasonable variety here, but there are too many gimmicky assassin classes. I guess they want the Genji player audience.

Game's probably going to flop hard, and I can't say it really deserves any better. Uninspired, unoriginal, and unfun.

I played it for 15 minutes, found it terrible, the playable characters felt like stock NPCs from the UE4 store due how dull looking they were.

i just want a good ut99 assault. no class shit. requires teamwork to advance (assisting with the use of impact hammers and rockets to help boost teammates through a shortcut to objectives).

>>385811612
Played in on saturday and loved it.
Maybe it's overwatch burnout, but it felt great darting around the anti grav zones and not falling prey to shitty map design.
By the end of the beta, i was hip fire boosting around, but felt I was still shit.

>>385814204

Anyone involved and anyone who invested in this game deserves their loss.

the whole flying mechanic is stupid as shit, rather go play cod

>>385811612
so this game is clearly going to be a PC blunder. what about on PS4?

Lol hell yeah /v/ros! this is going to fail just like we predicted Overwatch, Destiny, Battlefront, Splatoon 2 and the Switch were going to fail! Fuck video games! :D

>>385811612
It won't surpass Battleborn's level of failure. Battleborn not only had a massive waste of a budget, it had a shitload of ads for like 2 months on TV.

Sick balance, Cliffy.

The Wraith class felt kind of fun but overall it felt like a cheap f2p game. It'll go f2p by the end of the year.

>>385811612

>>385816042
It's aesthetic looks like a 360 game and the 360 audience largely moved to the PS4 this gen, so it will probably do ok.

>>385812216
It's Overwatch except more fun and with a higher skill ceiling
Which is exactly what I wanted since Overwatch was such a disappointment.
I could play Titan exclusively for days but probably not for $30
I'll see how the playerbase looks in a month

On top of the utter lack of marketing, you need to be good at the game to have fun with it. It's a recipe for disaster.
Games like that always flop unless they have a big name behind it. Only reason Quake Champions is doing remotely well despite its glaring bethesda- brand flaws.

>>385811612
This thing that annoyed me the most apart from floaty annoying contols, shitty gunplay and boring maps, was the constant swearing. After every kill your character has to swear like he's 14 or something.
