Bamco's cross-media animu extraction shooter is currently 95% off on Steam. Man, it really crashed and burned so badly, huh? They really pushed it hard with an animu and multiple toylines but now it's displaying signs of EoS.
It wasn't the greatest game, but after it died, I was able to enjoy it for the singleplayer game it was meant to be. On the NA servers, I have yet to run into a black market dude since I started again in February
Fun gameplay and community was mostly up front about fighting you save for the box bastards. Just a hell of a grind and no out of run grouping was very dumb.Also the waifu stealing was retarded because everyone just ejects
>>735061456During the survey they conducted after the 1st month, I wrote that they should went full lewd with the costume micro transaction, did they follow my advice? I dropped the game after the 1st month.
Oh also the quest design sucked absolute ass. The game is already a grind, no need for quests like that. Variants locked to color is also dumb. Let us customize our colors.Lastly the show had extra weapon slots but in this there's just fixed melee and a gun. Lame
>>735061456Playstation gave this to me for free so I tried to play it.After like an hour I still don't understand what the game was supposed to be about.They put you in a mech with like two attacks and you run around collecting shit for no reason.
>>735061456I really liked the anime but man the game was doomed from the concept.>>735063207It's about collecting shit and getting shot in the back constantly.
>>735063323Why would want to collect shit to get shot in the back more efficiently?What reason would I have to want to play this game?Seriously, developers don't seem to bother to think of that nowadays. It's like they think people grind just for the sake of grinding.
>>735062736How was the single player component of it? That's the main thing I'd be interested in.
>>735063632Because if you're a mecha fan you're always starved for games. I don't know. I played it for a month while waiting for Monster Hunter. Bit too stressful for my tastes, and too much of a chore rather than something actually enjoyable.
>>735063651The actual single player part is pretty lame. The gunplay isn't anything special so it fell flat for me. My joy comes from running around on the big map as a mech, not in cramped rooms full of enemies
Does it have panties or is there zero reason to fork out for cosmetics?
>>735061456Your 3 dollars are better spent somewhere else.
>>735061456Thank god the extraction genre is starting to put out flop after flop, hopefully it dies off soon
>>735065848extraction genre is the gayest shooter experience. I'd rather have a hallway-cover-shooter simulator than an extraction trash.
>>735061456>They really pushed it hard with an animu and multiple toylines but now it's displaying signs of EoS.When was the last time a multi-media franchise was successful?The utter flop that was Unknown 9 should have taught them not to bother going hard on an IP before the game does numbers
Jesus Christ this game looks like shit.
>>73506289672 gig needed? WTF
>>735061456I watched someone play an hour of this and couldn't figure out what he was doing or what the overall objective was.
>"animu"
>>735067261Gotta fit all these beautiful graphics somehow.
>>735061456>still haven't added PvE modewhy is that so difficult to do, why are the devs for these types of psychopath griefer games so stubbornjust make a separate queue with player-to-player damage disabled, that's itno additional dev time needed, instead they would rather let their games die
>>735067360It's so fucking bright what the fuck
>>735067625The magical power of colour filters being used in lieu of real art direction.
>>735061456>extraction shooterIf I want a PvP game, I will play a PvP game. Forcing PvE to intersect with PvP ensures I will simply just not play your game.
>>735061456>animu>look at screenshotsur a fuckin' liar OP kys
>>735067360>>735068195Is this what they call UE5 slop?
Anime was kino how did they drop the ball so hard.
I keep wanting to try this but I missed snagging it when it was free on PS.
>>735068445They dropped the ball already with the anime by killing the best girl. All interest I had in the game died with her
>>735061456This game's setting and designs had lots of potential.The Mecha design was very cool.But they ruined it pursuing the dying live service extraction shooter slop.
Theres a japanese interview with the games director where he talks about being inspired by his experience dying in steel battalion line of contact, where that game had legit permadeath if you didnt eject when your mech was destroyed and your pilot died it would wipe youre entire save file and just delete your in game account.Thats the most interesting thing about this game really.
grim
>>735061456Gameplay was kinda decent but I didn't meet more than one other player during the beta and he just zoomed away.The grind seemed very heavy...They should remake it into a singleplayer or coop lost planet type game.
>>735065941>When was the last time a multi-media franchise was successful?Cyberpunk?
>>735061456I went on a couple week kick on it a few months back on PS5, and holy fuck what a lame game. I killed a few players without even realizing they were players sometimes, but the player base is so low and so passive that they barely even fought back and I was never fired on first.I didn't complete the "campaign" but I did a fair bit of it and the story was okay, and I didn't mind how it was presented via animatics with the occasional CGI scene, but fuck me the gameplay in it was a dreadful slog and finding some of the 360 era data packet things was a real chore. I thought about platinum it for shits and giggles since it'll probably get turned off after the SAO game comes out but looking at what you've gotta do to do that hell no. I might just watch the rest of the story on youtube that way I can get it all in order and not disjointed the way the game presents it.>>735063756The gunplay heavily reminded me of Fatal Bullet and not in a good way. The enemy designs in particular are very Fatal Bullet. In the anime the monsters are mostly these weird wheel shaped handy things that roll around on their arms - clearly they couldn't work that out and just went with basic bitch wolves. >>735069928It wouldn't have mattered because she wouldn't be in the game anyway.For some reason they didn't leverage the world building they had with in the anime and your hub is a derelict warehouse you spend 300 hours unlocking upgrades for and can never leave.Baffled by the decision to do this. Why isn't there a hub world with characters to interact with and complete quests for? What was the point of making all those characters for the anime if you aren't going to put them in the game? Insane shit.
