is this game really that bad?

[joakim]

Anyone who thought it was good?

[tecknode]

Seem that the publishers have no real support. They have yet to answer ANY questions I sent them.

[Slaughter3123]

I would suggest not buying it

[godslayer1975]

i would have loved game instead of hating it if they had one thing STEALTH crouching and sneaking hide bodies the game would been decent then but how a game like this wants you use stealth does not have stealth mechanic its insane (walk real slow behind enemy to see no attack from behind so it does not matter wtf ) .

i would have liked it but one mechanic missing destroyed the whole game if it was there i would have recomend the game since story was not badand liked world set up but no stealth in game they want you to be stealthy is just incomptence .

i had it for ps4 but returned iton 9th day before by policy ended as i have 11 days for a full exchange or return on any game dont matter reason if you bought new and beat it in that time you can return it its one thing i love about EB games being a onyx card holder you have over week to try out or beat any game you buy

Check the reviews and you'll see.

If you want an exemple Metal gear survive wich was review bombed by kojima fans got mixed reviews, so left alive is that bad and when they launched the game on PC it was unplayable as in no one tested the game before launch, so it's a huge scam.

As a Metal Gear/Front Mission game: This is trash. Front Mission Evolved and Metal Gear Survive are better games.

But looking at this as just a game in the grand scheme: This game is painfully average by virtue of there being significantly better games out there. It might be worth looking into for $20 at most just to satiate the curiosity with low expectations. Also, the optimization is apparently garbage since it won't run well on older mid-range GPUs like the GTX 1060, so apparently you'd need something super high-end like a 2080 Ti to only mostly maintain 60 frames.

So yeah, this game kinda sucks, but I just had to know with first-hand experience.

[talemore]

I read a review who said it had a watercooled GTX2080 with a 4,2 Ghz i7 and couldn't keep the frames from screen tearing. But people tend to be dramatizing when it comes to frame rates and think that since the frame is at this value it must mean blah. If the frames goes up and down you have a problem. It had blah frames, doesn't give any information at all. Was it screen tearing? Is the game running clunky?

[Apoc]

The game is pretty bad performance wise. I had an old 970 when it released and it had constant frame drop and stuttering. Now with my 2060 ( and the patch it had earlier this year. ) it might be better but it still happens, it can't keep a constant 60 fps and it does not even looks that good. It's not unplayable but can get annoying because there is nothing explaining it unless it's pre-loading something when it feels like it or maybe spawning patrolling enemies somewhere else on the map.

What makes the game pretty bad for me ( Beside not being a Front Mission game. ) is that it's a stealth heavy game with no stealth kill, no enemy vision cone or any indication of the range they can spot you and instead of a detection bar or something like that, it seems to randomise either an enemy will not see you, spot you instantly or investigate your position.

I wanted to give it another chance now that's it is on sale and I still feel like I paid too much and regret giving it another chance even though it's playable once you know what to expect and keep those expectations really low.

- story is ok but under exploited
- optimization is awful. you'd better have a computer from nasa in order to maintain a stable 60fps at 1080P
- AI is dumber than...dumd
- animations are really clunky
- stealth mechanics are useless once you get a decent gear
- voice over is "meh" at best...
- wanzer battles are rare and not that exiting
- sometimes very difficult for nothing

this game wanted to be everything, but the execution failed big time.

I only just finished chapter 1, but so far I have to say it's not as bad as I was expecting from the reviews. It's no master piece, it's got a lot of problems, and yes I'd rather have a real Front Mission game, buuuuut... I can't say I'm not enjoying it so far.

I agree. It's pretty broken, but it still has a lot more positives than most reviews point out.

[NuTroPeX]

I see the reason why this game has negative reviews. But at least I got it on sale. What kind of game gives you a p shooter to start out with when fighting giant mechs & let's talk about when killing hostiles they only give ammo drops. you can't even take there weapons. Don't get me wrong the game is good. Although a few changes m]needs to be made. Climbing over obstacles that could be climbed over in real life is a challenge in this game. like rubble & ground debris for example. In real life would be easy to get over. But, nooo let's make difficult.
Change a few mechanics in this game & it will get better reviews. I haven't got past the first stage cause trying to fight giant mech with a F%^CKING p shooter. when I kill a hostile at least give me a weapons drop along ammo drops.

[Slowku]

It's way worse than average. Don't listen to those people. It is bad. The only good thing it does is it reminds you of Metal Gear Solid. And it's hilariously awful.
