Does this somehow feel like the most soulless game to anyone else?

[CEO of Cunny]

Not even the AI voice acting. The general feel of the game is just incredibly soulless. There doesn't seem to be a distinct art style, playstyle, or theme to the game. It literally feels like they had an AI create the entire concept of the game. While playing I just couldn't shake the feeling that this wasn't something that was created because somebody had a vision of a good game. It feels like something that was created because corporate wanted a new multiplayer shooter to sell to Zoomers.

Does anyone else feel this? It feels like the most corporate, sanitized, and generic game I could have never imagined on my own yet here it is. The game itself is okay, but definitely not something I see myself playing for more than a week.

no, i think its a decent breath of fresh air. They put out a solid game. It's not easy to find solid games right now. They don't try to sell me ♥♥♥♥ when I hit the main menu and the gameplay has a low skill floor and high ceiling. Bits of imbalance but most people can play the game how they want and have success.

while i think a couple of the visual changes made in the full release make it feel that way, this is still one of the most fun and unique shooters to come out in a long long time

all team games are soulless

[Swanky McSwanky Pants]

I actually think the game has a lot of style, imo the only real issue is the ai really pulls the charm out of the game. I really hope to see real VAs soon in the future

While I generally prefer games with more distinct art style as well, this game does what it can gameplay wise so good, it can manage to live without it.

the only one that has soul is combat master

I'll add that this games style is pretty unique in modern gaming. the animations are a joy and are clearly made by passionate animators. The atmosphere is great and I haven't had a game get me yelling for a win like i'm watching my home team in a long time.

There aren't any. I actually use to love the genre but the past 5 years have been incredibly soulless. Overwatch had promise at the start but we all know how that turned out. It doesn't help that people have sweated their brains out so hard that they've sort of ruined the genre. Now every FPS tries to be the next e-sport for all the Koreans and like 12 people in the west that watch that drivel.

Doesn't help that all these games have the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ UI at this point. Adding battlepass and boring, ugly characters doesn't help. The game isn't bad but something about the game just feels so incredibly soulless that I can't bring myself to play it any longer. I feel like I'm in a skinnerbox waiting for a dopamine hit. The game basically feels like you took a bunch of random game ideas, shoved it into a competitive FPS and called it a day. Not bad, but not really anything special.

other than the same realistic graphics style that basically every triple A game uses, it feels great to me.

i almost never play PvP and haven't played most of the big name FPS games (CoD, Battlefield, etc.) so i have a bit of an "outsider perspective", but cashout is fun (and although i don't like bank it as much, it's still neat).

the concept of AI voices for announcers is good (IRL announcers have to make stuff up on the fly and you simply can't do that with pre-recorded lines), but the execution probably won't pan out as planned due to the limitations of AI (and most of the lines i've heard seem like it could just be a regular voice acted line, but at this point i've damn near muted them since it's kinda distracting).

the destruction is really fun and the variety of weapons makes it kinda interesting to think of a good counter-combo (i recently found that pyro + sonar is noice), and the fact that i can just blow up a wall in my way rather than trying to find an exit makes traversal so much better.

i dunno, i don't like PvP enough to have much more to say, but just like when Splitgate came out this one's been pretty fun. Even managed to convince my friends to try it out lol.

I usually don't enjoy sweating in a game but with this game it just comes naturally and it's actually fun. The announcer calling out placements and the ambient noises make me want to win. Even when we lose it feel great because it was a fair hard fought game. I don't often feel cheated out of wins and the game has lots of room for many different skills to manifest. Lots of room for clutch moments and tons of different strategy. Actually feels like i'm on some game show.

Kinda feels like they just picked whatever eccentric ideas they could come up with. 3v3v3 with a weird ctf koth hybrid. And then underneath all the quirkiness is just very average gunplay and movement. I don't see this game lasting long.

if it wasn't a team game, it could be pretty cool. but it's so beta and lame.
