despite everything, this game will have a bright future, im certain
Game is trash tbh. Wouldn't recommend buying it.
If you want to face against new people this game is not for you. Something has to change this dead game.
nah
En quelque mois le jeu meurs déjà Zéro équilibrage Pas d'investissement de la part des devs jeu prêt à mourir
Worst new player experience known to man. They will give you a tiny tutorial, then you will be DRAGGED through every menu in the game. But you will not learn anything, that's literally illegal. No, you have 5 seconds to take in the layout before they blacken the screen like a mobile game and tell you to click the next option. Close the tutorial? Don't worry! It'll keep opening so you can't interact with any of the systems! Want to skip and figure it out yourself? The boxes close when you hit next, and the next one takes 5 seconds or so to show up the entire way through. Literal agony and there is no way anything is worth 5 minutes of unskippable garbage content that does nothing to ACTUALLY prepare you for the game because, once again, you cannot do anything during this sequence. May as well have been a hypercam youtube video showing off the interfaces.
I genuenly enjoyed the game for a while. But the dev team are really dog****. I cant play this anymore. The lag, the de-sinc. When u just brought in ur best gear and u loose connections with the server right at the exvil. Genuenly so done. Its not fun to play when the game devs cant fix an issue 2 seasons in. Why should i play a game that is already hard af and on top of that the dev team consistently throws curveballs that make the game unplayable.

-still runs bad 3 months after launch, cpu bottlenecked because of terrible multi thread use -worst movement of any fps I've ever played, took the floatiness of the finals and combined it with the sluggishness of valorant. If it's supposed to feel like you're knee deep in mud the whole time, they succeeded -I've seen so much praise for "bungie gunplay" being super good in this game and I don't agree. It's not horrible, but it is not the shining star people make it out to be. The guns feel clunky, input laggy and slow, theres bullet magnetism, and the targets you're shooting at don't move in interesting ways. This combined with the abysmally low side strafe speed makes gunfights feel incredibly unskillful -nade spam slop ZZZ -gorgeous art style, I really love how it feels to be in the world -there's a shell of something good here, but it does feel like I wasted my money and attention
In short: Great game and I cant wait to see what's next. Do not believe what's online this is a great game and for 40 bucks and getting free additional content in a world of AAA 80 to 100 dollar games. I think your money will be spent well. Look Season 1 was a lot a struggle for a guy who mostly plays alone. Season 2 has had its ups and downs but Solo was implemented and has been a blast especially Dire Marsh Night. I have not done the end game as I have been trying to learn it via videos but its not a solo game mode and makes sense. But mid season they are helping with that problem with end game having a PvE mode. I would say overtime things will get better, marathon is a blast and I think it will become a great game. But I want to enjoy this till the very end. Hopefully as long as Destiny 2. Hell I am looking at the statue bundle. Read the codex as a book, hear the audio logs and what the factions are saying, watch YT vids about the lore. Tau Ceti has layers of events you might be interested. What I am trying to say is this game rewards learning the map, hearing movement and noise and your aim. Also if you are a rook don't kill other rooks. Work together.
