'I dislike or hate the game' (General feedback)

Hi guys, I'm not here to jump on the bandwagon or to rant about this game. I'm hoping that the devs and others see this post so that these glaring issues can be fixed with their game. It is extremely obvious that this was an unfinished product that is being sold to consumers and that's just flat out wrong. I put about 40~ hours into this game and I regret almost every single moment of it.

The first thing that I'm going to talk about are bugs and glitches. I have found too many, probably one every 5 to 10 minutes with some of them being game breaking. I have also found myself in death looped saved states because enemies that I killed respawned on top of me (mind you I was playing on insane difficulty) and just mauled me in half a second over and over and over again. While hilarious to watch it was also maddening. Then there are other bugs such as being magically launched into the sky when I jumped at the Nomad and the doors propped open and flung me into the sky and getting stuck on walls and objects like no tomorrow. I've also had enemies fail to appear so I could not complete puzzles after failing them until I reloaded a saved state and, low and behold, they appeared like magic. And I've seen ships going straight through walls and mountains. Even Halo didn't do that crap and that game is over a decade old now. The list just goes on and on.

Then we have some very serious bad gameplay mechanics. I'm talking about mechanics such as the life support system. You're supposed to explore these world but you can't because you can't even step foot outside the nomad (at least not early on anyway) unless you like the thought of death. Do you want to stop and fight some enemies? If you're playing on insane mode then forget about it. Almost every single fight I pretty much either flat out ran out of life support to sustain the battle or was about to. And if there wasn't any nearby (like the time at my death loop where I was searching for some and ran out) then sucks to be you! And then there are timers  and battle animations that are far to long to be even remotely useful. I used the barricade just a few times and regretted my decision to put any points into it at all. It literally takes 2 to 3 seconds to deploy the damn thing and you can't move at all during the process. You were better off using evasive maneuvers and finding cover than exposing yourself to death. There are other issues but I'm just pointing out a few for now.

Next we have the piss poor optimization. I'm going to ask you to look at this game if you have not heard about it called tera rising. Now I hate this game so don't think that I'm promoting it or anything because they gender locked all their classes to female for neckbeards in their basements that want to play as loli's or some bull. But look at how gorgeous this game is. I played this game with a GTX 770 on max settings and consistently got above 60 FPS. This game is gorgeous and looks far better than this game does. Just look at those damn trees. Yet, when I played this game with my upgraded graphics card, a GTX 975, I can BARELY play on high settings and most of the time I get severe frame rate dips to the point of unplayability. When you ask your customers to have literally the newest graphic card that was JUST released, you're doing it wrong especially when there are games that look far better and can run on potatoes made of wood. The guy in the video put his specs on there as well and low and behold, a 760.

Note: I loathe tera, this is just to show an example of excellent graphics with excellent optimization.





And the sounds are just bland and bad. They don't exist and when they do they aren't immersive. They are very forgettable and it's down right ugly. Sometimes too much is bad, in this case, there's nothing to begin with.

Lastly are the animations, yes, they're bad. Probably to the point where it will take months to fix. So if you're expecting a quick fix it won't happen probably until at least fall at the earliest. They pretty much have to redo almost all of them.

So if you wish to buy this game then go ahead, but know that this is an unfinished product. I used to do betas in games and actually test for bugs. You do stupid things like jumping at walls to see if you get stuck or melt away into the ground and test the collision detection. You also look for bad game mechanics and gameplay errors (such as the death loop that I mentioned above). This game isn't even in its beta phase. This is literally in its alpha state. Please stop selling unfinished products to your customers. Even if this product is fixed more than a year down the road I still do not know if I would buy this because I feel so insulted that you would have the audacity to sell me an unfinished product. I'm pretty unbiased and I like to think for myself but this is not acceptable. It's literally the second game in a decade that I have asked for a refund for out of 3 because the quality of the game was so damn horrific that I just could not deal with it anymore. Hell at least I lasted a good 40 or so hours on this one, the other game did not even get an hours worth of play time.

Bro do you even read? I said that I loathe tera, I had a reason for putting that video here lol!

You played 40 hours and got a refund? Ok the rest of us will enjoy the game.

What the hell is wrong with this community? Like damn bro I make a well thought out post and I get replies from 5 year olds? Is this what our world is turning into??????

I'm not belittling you, I merely suggested that perhaps the difficulty and you dying so often was the reason why you are upset. I even said that you are better off providing suggestions about balance since you are experiencing the game at the highest difficulty. Take the barricade skill for example, I thought about taking it but decided not to because like you said, there is plenty of cover already, so i'm glad I didn't take it as it would not have benefited me in the heat of battle. Instread I took the skill that gave me dmg resistance and regen bonuses when I'm in cover.  So it seems to me that you are probably just unlucky, maybe if you chose better skills that compliment your build, you'd have a better time.

Were you expecting an outpouring of support? 

Pretty sure I said in my very first sentence that this was not a rant and secondly I am a very logical person and you would know this if you know me in real life. I make judgement and decisions based off purely factual information and my own experiences and pretty much nothing else. I'm different from most people. If I was hindering a mission because I was injured I would have no problems with someone killing me off so I didn't hold them back anymore and I'm not joking.

Also what I stated was a fact and I can prove it if you'd like. For some all I'd have to do is reinstall the game while I still own it and take my own recordings and others are already on youtube. A fact is a fact and is provable.

Actually what I expected was well thought out posts to meet my own. Not garbage posts of a single sentence of LOL DIDN'T READ XXDDDD!!!!!!

Well played. You got me there for a couple of second. 

I actually don't have an opinion of you nor do I find anything about you disagreeable since I do not know you.

Try not to pull the persecution card out so quickly.

I believe the life support system is something that improves for each planet. The journal tells you that when you leave Eos wait for radiation levels to clear. You can't really bitch about the life support system and constantly dying when you're engaging with enemies while playing on insanity.

From what I've seen, the optimization is fine for most people. Hell, I'm playing on a GTX 770 with textures on Ultra, Ambient Occlusion and Anti-Aliasing to their highest settings, and everything else on medium/low and my game is running surprisingly good (some scenes/areas give me a frame drop, of course. but nothing that's over bearing for me personally). Sucks to hear about your glitches though. You have every right to be angry about that. However, I do think you're overreacting by saying the game is unfinished and seems like it was in its alpha state. You sound like a child. 

Cmon. How you gonna ask "do you even read?" after a comment saying tl;dr.
