Toxic PS2 players downgrading this game
Now look, i know its not the best game out there right now. Its early acces what do you expect!?
I see all these 0.1/-1 hour playtime people instantly voting down on this game since they just don't like the idea of Planetside battleroyale. But give it a damn try! I dont even like battle royales but this game is great fun.
It's the exciting big battles from PS2 in a 20minute match with 12 man squads.
It can get really dangerous really quick when 4 12 man squads clash with eachother over a compound only for a 5th squad to wipe the last survivors.
Or for a lone squad survivor to revive the entire squad and make a comeback. It's only been 2 days and i have already had amazing experiences and met really nice people.
I honestly think this game can become something great and add a great game to the PlanetSide IP.

Well these were just my 2 cents and i know that it won't do much, but these dev's did a great job on the core mechanics of the game and they could have a gem on their hands here. Keep doing you DBG!

**IF ANY DEVS READ THIS**
Do not, i repeat do not give up on this game. With enough time this game will flourish and these day one ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ will bugger off complaining in PS2 command channel that Vanu are too strong, and that NC are too tanky. They always find something to cry about for real.

i gived it a try. it still painful. no big battles from PS2 at all. end is kinda fun but i seen this all already in better forms.

It creates a minified version of PS2 battles and comprimizes it into 20 minutes!

What is there not to like about this? I guess theres just a bunch of people butt hurt that PS3 isn't coming :P
the only fun i had in this game is talking with random people, the game itself is bad as ♥♥♥♥

Why is it that bad tho?
IMAMETAPOD Sep 20, 2019 @ 2:42pm 
its not that bad imo, but unfortunetly I dont think it will survive against the 3 big dudes out there

minified versions already exist in BF.

it's poorly balanced in late games. players without anti-vanguard stuff cant do much. it lack propper ping system. no vehicle upgrades. no weapon upgrade system. no ways to organize squad. and slower progression than PS2. those loot boxes just UGH.
and on top of that it gets repetitive really fast. i guess it is fine to play 3-4 games on evening.

and it's very sad to look at. all this effort putted into PS2 could bring more people than current PSA online.

Vanguards are basically useless in late game since the circle is tiny as ♥♥♥♥. It lacks a ping system because its EARLY ACCES. This will most certainly come, all of the aftermentioned issues like squad management and weapon upgrades will probably come, the game has been out for 2 days.

by that time everyone is dead 4 out of 5 times. i played 5-6 games where we just steamrolled enemy teams with 4-6 vanguards.
it lack ping system cause it not working to begin with. looking at enemy and spoting dont do anything most of time. and i cant ping "hey there is good stiff here". that was never implemented in PS2 and anything new take years to implement. arena will be ded when this feature wull be implemented.

and no. they will not come. belive me i'm PS2 vet.

I'll one-up you: Planetside 2 as it exists in 2019 is a pretty bad game with severe balancing issues, declining playerbase that cannot sustain a playable pop anywhere 24/7, and uncaring devs. Yet it's still in a better position than PSA to survive simply because it isn't just another BR clone in an ocean of those.

I've quit PS2 years ago, and I can still see from the get-go months ago that PSA is nothing but bad news, even without taking "Hey, PS2 is probably a better game" into account. Everything about it screamed "CHEAP ASSET FLIP BR CASH-GRAB".

Fortnite BR pulling the same stunt from Fortnite STW and succeeding was an exception, not the norm. Enjoy and defend it all you want, but if Daybreak can't even keep the only MMOFPS out there worth a damn in a healthy state (a genre they currently have almost complete monopoly on), don't expect them to manage that for a cheap BR clone when hundreds of competitors already exist.

Friend recommended this game to me out of nowhere's. Easily more fun and playable in comparison to the original PlanetSide 2 which lost my interest pretty quickly. This game does pretty good mimicking the BR feeling and playing like PS2 as I recall it.

Honestly the only BR that has caught my attention so far that isn't PUBG. Which I've almost invested nearly 3,000 hours in so far. (Of which I'm going 3,000 more lol) This game has the potential to be great in my opinion.

Just needs TTK rates lowerd a bit and maybe emphasis on squad leads like PS2 where you can act as mobile spawn points. Maybe even adding an item in that forces a respawn on use. No clue. The game is still young, but I prefer it much more than I do PS2.

yeah TTK is pretty high, especially with orange shields which are everywhere. they need to seriously decrease the number of orange drops. but the game is fun without question.

Honestly, it's hard NOT to see the reason folks are hating on the game. Took the money from subscriptions from other games (Which is not uncommon) within the company to make what looks like... from everything I've seen thus far a shallow BR with no real heart or soul. There's nothing unique here. Flavoring to a degree, but it's a spinoff game at best. Downloading now to give it a go, but I'm doubting given the track record of this engine and this company's commitment to player experience.

What am I expecting? Hacks, both subtle and not. Grindy systems. Introductions of expensive weapons. Lack of content creation post launch.

They've got a nasty track record and they're eating that up right now. Coulda actually tried to improve the titles they already have up and running, but they seem to be running away from doing actual improvements and just adding a gun here and there. That's not really gonna cut it if your yearly contribution is a single gun for each faction and the occasionally wayward hex edit of some values for various balance changes.
