Worth it without friends?

[PackieTackie]

So I love this kind of games heard it has similarities to EDF which me and my friends also play, thing is this game is like 7 times more expensive than EDF so it's hard to convince them, just wondering if the randoms can be toxic or nah as it has friendly fire unlike EDF and if there's anything else I should be aware of

No it is not. For a few reasons.

The game is not balanced well at all.
Server issues.

And solo is very boring, it can be done but at some point you will ask yourself why are you doing it.

Not only that, but pugging is also pretty darn bad. This game is only good playing with friends.

The new EDF coming out soon. I would wait for it.

Having giving it a try today, I’ll +1 this.

Good game overall, and solo is doable but if ever played Destiny 1 solo, like that…just feels soulless and lacking when know be better with friends.

No. Randoms are all either useless or a-holes

EDF 5 is more expensive than this, and so will be EDF 6.

Absolutely not. Get in quick match and sometimes it will be awful,BUT when it good it real damn good.

[FengAnime]

Yes, I play with randoms and so far so good, i have no friends so I only play with randoms

[Reny Daret]

It's not even worth it for a penny now brother, you can't even play!
Just wait - don't buy anything just yet.

well EDF is on sale rn probably aint fair but it's an old game, maybe it's a region thing too
also I only know just now EDF has friendly fire I only remember I was sent flying by a friend but I dont notice damage lol

It can be a challenge to play solo at the higher levels. I would say so far most people are friendly. Friendly fire is a part of the game, part of the fun as long as you are not doing it intentionally, but there are tones of ways to do it completely by accident.

I would not say the game is that similar to EDF, but it is really fun.

[PackieTackie]

hmm varying answers here, I'd just wait till someone I know is interested, the price is still pretty steep

[MulticamDruid]

Without friends? yeah its fine, randoms are generally pretty good. Pure solo? nah you wont manage higher difficulties and it definitely won't be as fun.

[hagare]

you can always do randoms.
Or find discord groups with other people who play

I don't have friends so I play solo or with randoms in any game and I play a lot (not just on steam).
Experience with randoms are pretty much the same as in any other online game, sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe ♥♥♥♥. I'm having fun even when being killed by friendly fire. They won't apologize, but will bring you back. There is a chance you will meet a griefer (just like anywhere).
Solo is a lot more challenging, but less fun. You can alternate and have it all.

Sure, the random group matchmaking actually can be more fun, as friend groups tend to be too organised for the chaos to really unravel.
