Peak cinema, game of the year. GG devs

really fun, but investing 40 hours into a game for them to change security lockers is a slap to the face. If you are going to change how a perk that takes 35-40 hours to unlock, you should be more careful. I'm done playing until they revert the nerf.

You can change what it does but you should offer respec to people who invested their entire gameplay experience towards that singular perk. Saying "you're looking into respec" isn't good enough, you should have known the backlash or asked before changing.

They made this game lame and dropped support so fast. Nerfed heavy, no mod support, no workshop, pvp game mode is wack, no story pvp. Just a lamer l4d with a card system and devs who took a coop game too seriously.

fun game good update

Fun game but I will never recommend a game that locks core content behind dlc. The DLC for this game is a joke, you can't buy the discount prices on the dlc if you have base game AND there is a class locked behind dlc. They really used to know how to do dlc, but all of this is a joke. These dlc are the equivalent of the headhunter packs in previous games, very minimal with some loot added, about 10 min of content per dlc. Very lame cash grab and bad behaviour. The game is fun, microtransaction dlc isn't.

proud we were able to review bomb this game so hard that Sony backtracked

Died in desert due to heat, went back for stuff and died to cold because it was night time. 10/10 game, will die again.

Review bombers are lame. Game keeps getting better and isn't terrible. I don't believe its worth 70 dollars but now that it's gone on sale at least once for 42 usd, I think that price or lower its definitely worth it.

Really fun game and a lot of promise for the future with frequent updates and attentive devs

My biggest issue that I want to see adjusted is the micro play.
Macro play is essentially commander stuff, managing units and resources, which feels really good and fleshed out.

Micro play of being a ground unit is fun as alien, but feels pretty rough until mid-late game as a human. You just run for ages as you wait for command to have the resources to make light units and heavy units to explore map. First 10 minutes is just a running simulator due to lack of mobility as you explore map and really throws the pacing off for me. Fall damage is rough on humans too and is a bit too punishing.

Ai controlled projectile units are infinitely better than player controlled ones due to their accuracy and range. They will snipe you down from insane distances, making approaches difficult to say the least.

I think either Ai distance needs to be dialed back (or at least their accuracy needs to be nerfed) or human controlled units need an auto aim of some sort to have the same level of efficiency.

Really enjoy the game though and mid-late game skirmishes are a lot of fun

I shoot my gun and sometimes I hit people

10/10
