getting a mechwarrior 5 vibe from the demo

[The Sylvan Learning Center]

After 20 minutes, I feel like im basically just shooting targets, moving a cool machine around, in different directions, shooting targets.

going to a menu to swap items "at base," going back out to shoot targets.


the voice acting is really bad, the characters and story are as bland as you can get, at least for the demo.

I feel like this whole game is just going to be,"go here, press F here, go there, press F here. shoot some drones. back to base to swap out a better weapon. repeat.

I guess i wish it had a wing commander thing, where you spend time outside of the ship doing things, and making you care about the world more.

In contrast, I'm actually quite impressed by the story, characters and voice acting for a game like this. You can tell care was given to it. There's a lot of actually funny moments and interesting twists. Again, I wasn't prepared for how good the story element of the game is.

Also it isn't just moving from location to location shooting things. There's a ton of exploration involved. Things you can stumble upon freely. Little puzzles to solve, extra story snippets etc.

The demo is a good introduction but definitely doesn't represent the whole.

Don't agree bought the game, played with friends found it to be repetitive ad boring and the story, let's not even go there. Not to be compared with this game.

Honestly OP, that part about entering a location, blasting stuff and going back to wait time traveling sums it up, once the shine of the new game wears off.

Go somewhere, try to solve 90% of the time riddles that reflect the ability of a child to match the correct coloured spheres, that despawn on a timer, with the receiving end, while doing light maneuvering.
10% combat, which already on normal is over and easy pretty quickly.
Not to forget you have to loot/mine ressources to enable upgrades, that reflect normal game mechanics in other titles, like fast travel, or even have less frustrating RNG on the ship shops.

The graphics are wonderful though, and the level designers were let loose on the maps.
The ships are customizable in equipment and looks, yet the equipment is very shallow.
You have the classic ARPG main attack, secondary attack and some skills depending on shipclass + module selection.

I personally have a hard time with this game, sadly, as i find the ARPG combo with space to not work for me.
Might be that WC: Privateer and Freelancer, or stuff like Pirates! and Star Sector spoiled me, but apart from some enjoyment in the combat section, it doesn't click with me.

Name another game in which you're not repeating the same effort as you described?

So, like, do you just hate games? Like what you are describing is literally every game made in human history lol

I play MW5 too and I gotta tell you, this Voice Acting is LEAGUES better than anything MW5 has in it.

If you expected some sort of game like Fallout New Vegas... uh no... I'd say the games more akin to Farcry, but with manners.

So, if you are looking for a high quality arcade style (with option to have an inertia based flight model) 1st/3rd cockpit fighter space game with an actual story mixed with some open world style extra content and the best part being not so much on the battles but experiencing the really well crafted "arenas" they take place in...then sure maybe you'd like this game.

Is this arcade fighter space game with a story and open world content the greatest video game released in the last 5 years? No, but it is certainly the best of its type of game in the last 10 years.
