its fun for a while but dont spend any money if you dont want to regret it later.
if you dont have problems with angry kids that yell at you, try it out, the game itself can be fun.

coop is a joke, just ignore that it exists.

as a sp game it was fun for about ~50hours before it got boring.
(and i did A LOT of side-missions, you can experience the core-story in a LOT less hours if you want to)

the scripted singleplayer missions are nice and also worth a 2nd playthrough because you can choose sometimes between 2 options.

nothing special, just rent it out of your friends library ;)

the game is funny for several hours before you realize its plagued by cheaters and a pretty ridiculous moneygrab-galore.

dont support this!!!

a funny shooter for a while

the "definitive massively multiplayer space epic" game stands on the foundation of peer2peer technology which is a joke. you can experience a broken peer2peer instancing system with max. 32player-sessions and no hosted gameservers. which is not only prone to bugs, glitches and cheats but also showcases frontiers technical expertise.

there is ZERO content in the game at the moment except you are allowed to grind a bigger ship which you can use for nothing afterwards. every "content" that is present atm is purely random generated. random generated bulletin board missions, random generated signal source types (which are mini-instances with some singleplayer "content" in it), random signal source content, random npcs, random everything. there is no plan/organisation/meaning behind anything so far.

and there is also ZERO player interaction besides sending text messages (when it works), inviting 3 other players into a wing (when it works), blowing each other up (if instancing bugs allow it) or drop a little bit of cargo for rp reasons to pirates. no guild support, no player-trading, no crafting, no story, no nothing.

and the "background sim" is a myth. i still suspect that there is some poor guy in the basement which has to flip all the systems manually where players try to push something in any direction.

seems like rollercoaster tycoon was not the experience they need to craft the persist mmo that they promised and they have not even realized it yet but keeping making weird promises that no one expects them to fulfill if you look what they actually have accomplished so far.

updated: 13.02.2016 - nothing significant changed. its still a mess. dont waste your money.

lol .... so poorly optimized, so much bugs, so much game crashes. if you want to pay full price for an beta which may work on your machine or may not work on you machine, do it, roll the dice.

if you want to just play and have fun and expect it to work when u meet the system requirements, dont roll that dice and wait for some updates that maybe change anything.

today we got an 15GB update which fixed nothing, maybe we get another one in the future which fixes things.

maybe we even get all the content which the console version has.

but until then, it's not worth it. buy it for your console and enjoy it there.

*** I'll edit my review when/if some major bugs/crashes/fps_drops_by_lazy_devs has been fixed because it as a game itself would be really nice, if everything would just work as described ***

imho the best realistic hardcore shooter out there.

the graphics are a little out of date, its the gameplay where it shines!
i prefer insurgency over arma, battlefield or counter-strike any day ;)

11 out of 10 bangs for your buck ;o)

easy to learn, hard to master, nice graphics, much blood and funny situations =)
