End yourself.

It's an early access shit.
People who praise/shill it use dumb buzzwords like gunplay to describe it, but never mention the massive desync the game has.

>>388084635
cool game, but the loot economy and gear and such is a pain in the ass to manage

>- Previous game from same devs still in early access
>- Devs like to heavily censor shit, banning reviewer that doesn't present the game under a good light under the pretext that they have malicious intentions behind their review rather than objectivity
>- Run like ass
>- Look nothing like the presentation screenshots but to be fair, nothing ever fucking do
>- Early access locked behind a giant paywall, as well as pre orders goodies

That's what I gathered so far.

It's a garbage game designed to look good in screenshots so they can scam people out of money

I bought it, refunded it and am still able to play for some reason

don't forget

>- Massive desync, will get you killed 95% of the time.
>- AI are literal aimbots, will snap to your direction and one shot you in the head from 50-100m away with a pistol

>Hit or miss servers, ranging from buttery smooth to horrible desync. Usually somewhere in between depending on time of day.
>Still in Alpha despite being called Beta (lots of content still needs to be added, optimization needs to improve a bit, AI needs adjustment still, sounds are broken as fuck right now)
>All the stuff relating to guns is cool as fuck: customization, animations, sounds, shooting niggas, etc.
>Going in with gear and fighting other well-geared players is a lot of fun and feels really rewarding when you get to take all the shit they brought with them, unfortunately there are a million faggots running around with hatchets or glitched pistols right now
I enjoy it a lot 'cause the gunporn is top notch. and the PVP can be extremely fun, but it has a few major flaws (mostly server and balancing related) and is missing a ton of shit that's planned for a 2018 release. Also finding good PVP is tough right now with all the idiot hatchlings running around farming loot a week or two before a stash wipe is gonna take place.

Oh I don't know, I don't play the game, I refuse to play the sum they're asking for just to try it, but since I'm a huge fucking sucker for customization, and it's a massive selling point of the game, I tend to follow these threads.
I'm basically just spouting the shit I've read many times in these threads, I just forgot to point that out.

>>388085394
You know that the $45 version lets you play immediately now, right? It was just the alpha where you had to buy the super expensive edition to play extra early. I mean, it's still basically in alpha, but they're calling it beta anyway, so you can play with the cheapest edition.

>>388085727
I don't know, I watched videos and review and all that crap, and I know I'm going to sound cheap but there's just not enough content to even justify 45 bucks.
Man I miss the era of demos.

>>388084960
>refunded it

how ? it's not on steam yet

>>388085806
Well there should be an open beta at some point. Hopefully by then the game'll actually be a beta.

>>388085904
I guess.
I just want to try it out, that's all.

Desynch is definitely an issue. Its literally unbearable if you live in Oceania. If you dont, you'll have the rare lobby where everyone is invincible and moving very erratically. All you have to do is run to one extraction zone, wait a few seconds, then run to another one.

The bigger issue is how utterly broken the Defender armor is, and how AI Scavs have a knack for 2 hit killing you with a pistol in the dark through a fence while being positively shredded by 5.56.

That being said, its a VERY fun game with a LOT of kinks that are getting worked out. It is in closed beta after all. Id wait about 4-6 months and then see if a lot of the major issues have been fixed.

it's deathmatch games with equipment loss thrown into the mix for stakes...

>>388085389
I think most of them, including me, had no idea a stash wipe was coming. Do they announce these things somewhere? Is it regularly scheduled, like every other week or something?

>>388084635
I early access shit by Russian devs whose biggest achievement so far is a shitty browser FPS. It has all sorts of red flags.

it's early access shit that's being shilled on /v/

you can buy it and refund it and still be able to play, it's what I did. Bought it for $47, installed and played for a day, refunded it and am still able to play
