Game feels rough, was really hoping to like it but honestly it doesn't do anything better than whats already out there or has been done before.

Amazon Games' Crucible will launch May 20th
- Thread starter Trey
- Start date
Those are DLC packs. The gaitme self is free and if you play before June you get enough free credits to buy the first battle pass.
Ehh
it's fine I guess there is a severe lack of feedback
as with all these style of games I find movement much to slow
maybe with a larger pool for feed back they can turn it around

I understand, but for me there's straight up no free option ! lol
edit: seems like a couple of regions have the Free2Play option turned off so far, am sure they will sort it out eventually but still ... lol

Terrible first impression... I had the tutorial bug (but restarting it seems to have fixed it?) and the overall speed/level design/graphics were disappointing. Horrible tutorial to introduce the game.
I don't like it when developers 'fake' their screenshots too much, the game looks quite bad on high graphics - so was underwhelmed.
The character design was great though, so I hope they are able to stick with it and address the issues.

Just played around 4 hours of this game to get a feel and honestly, there's a good game underneath all the jank. When everything clicks and you get good teammates, it's kinda cool how individual abilities can affect a teamfight and positioning/sightlines have to constantly change. There's a solid game here worth salvaging, but I don't know if it's going to survive that long with all the issues currently plaguing it.
The balance on this is all over the place. Sometimes you feel like you're doing good damage, then you try another character and you're basically tickling the enemies. The dude with the minigun has the biggest hitbox in the game, moves super slow when he's shooting and does barely any damage, whereas the little tiny robot has turrets that absolutely shred people, and is really difficult to lock down.
The game modes themselves I actually like, but they really need to even out the characters a bit or every game is going to be using the same four.

Looks very much alike The Cycle. Can't they come up with innovative stuff anymore? But since it's free I'm gonna take a look, although my expectations aren't too high (especially since it seems that every bloody game wants to trap you into its grind and fear of missing out and wants you to commit to it full-time... you shall not have another game besides me!)
I mean, it looks kinda fun, but many games are fun and there are only so many games you can play simultaneously.
Also this.

Yeah, not a fan at all. Just feels way too sluggish, feedback feels like crap and it's just mowing down until you see another player. The story dump in the tutorial followed by Summer saying "Intrigue? I just wanna kill things!" meant the story part was a total waste of time.
Game modes had some good ideas. Some abilities are neat and hope they're ripped off by a better game. But that's about the nicest things I can say.

Yeah, not great. Kinda enjoyed the first match I played with Mendoza - but winning is always a bit enjoyable at least. Tried that heavy mini-gun guy after that and that was super horrible. It felt like I didn't do any damage at all and I was slow as fuck.
Graphics are very subpar. They look washed out and the Anti-Aliasing isn't great. Still jaggy, even at 1440p. Is there even music in the game? Why is there no text-chat in a team based game or did I just miss the button? Why are all the AI enemies just standing around being no threat at all?
EDIT: And how is this a product of a company that has virtually limitless money? How is this their entry in the videogame market?

Played a match... meh. It's just mediocre. Neither good or bad mediocre. I liked the 4v4 game mode I played, I feel like it has potential. Match time was good as well, around 15 minutes. Gameplay was a bit clunky, though I think this should be judged based on the games budget.
Game's shockingly bad. Incredibly slow and boring.
It's a shame, because all the characters look amazing.

It's kinda wild that it feels like Amazon just sorta farted this game out to no fanfare or marketing. The fact that there aren't any Twitch Prime offers going for it is BONKERS to me. It makes me wonder what Amazon's other game going out this summer is going to look like.
As for the game itself, it's fine. I'll echo most people with that much and say that I wish it were more interesting because i like the characters and (generally) the movesets. They have interesting ideas but almost no strong execution.

Not even close.
Its a 6/10 until voice comms are implemented then I'd bump the score to a 9.
Its a fun game in a saturated competitive world.
Yes. The execution is lacking, but the entire concept of the game is wrong. Hives take too long to spawn. Enemies aren't interesting to fight. Matches feel aimless and slow.
I bet it doesn't last the year.
Yea by ruining the competitive aspect of it. No voice chat is fine, but text chat? Eh..
They're adding that in. There's a lot about the game that seems like they rushed it out. Basic communication features shouldn't be in a future patch. There's a bunch of polish stuff missing. I really enjoy the game when playing as a 4-man premade party, but it has a lot of issues.
Is it officially out in the UK yet? If not is there anyway I can Region switch or something to get it? Want to try it out of curiosity.
EDIT - I checked and steam let me download it so I assume it's out here too.

Christ this is annoying.
Match-make with randoms, the loading screen tells you what to do and instead the rest of my 'team' scatter to farm random PvE content whilst the opposition heads to the hive and sets up an ambush.
Match after match players don't seem to get that there is a goal and when the hive is up you should at least be heading towards it <sigh>

Yeah people don't seem to understand the match flow yet of splitting off to capture & farm, and then coming back together to fight for the hive. Having text or voice would make it much easier to help people understand what they're supposed to be doing.
Yeah I played two games. First game, two of my team were inactive immediately and the third quit after 2.minutes.
After getting killed 3 or 4 times I quit too... Only to see that I couldn't start any other game, I could only rejoin the one I left... So I rejoined it to at least get some xp whilst I was shit over and over.
I get that quitters shouldn't be able to just leave and get a new match... But I honestly have to stay in the game when all 3 team mates have gone? In a team based shooter?
Second game was kind of fun. We have two full teams of 4 and there were some back and forth fights over the hive.
It has a handy dandy ping system so at least it's got that.
IMHO it's a perfectly fine game but as many have said the market for competitive shooters is pretty saturated.
I can't see this unseating overwatch as that has such an entrenched player base.
EDIT, left in the shit/shot typo as either works... I was also using a controller (I know its pc only right now) and the controller options and settings weren't great. No aim assist or stickiness make it pretty brutal against m+kb
I've played a lot more of the game and I am enjoying it a lot, but I do think it's going to have issues getting attached with people. The matchmaking system seems to take a long time because you match in as your desired character. Bold choice, but it's going to hurt them.
Also, Bugg is really overpowered.

Game is fun if you play with others over discord or whatever, borderline unplayable without it tho. Specially the alpha hunter mode, that requires a ton of talking
Downloaded, installed, played, streamed, closed, deleted. I'm just bad at it, and the world is so big that I find hard to find what I'm supposed to aim. Also, runs pretty bad on my igpu, so, pass.
3.6k players during the prime time. It is F2P... B-B-B-BOMBA
The MMO is going to meet the same fate. It will be the 4th Bomba in the row...

I actually think the MMO is going to do alright. Whole lot less competition in that space and people in to MMOs are always dying for a new one even if they don't always stick with them. There's nothing else coming out like that at that level that I can think of except Pearl Abyss's next gen of MMOs and who knows when those will come out (let alone in the US).
It won't be long before the entire game folds, I'd bet. It has around 600-800 players and that's probably not enough to sustain a game like this, especially when it's free to play.
It should have launched with one well developed mode and focused everything in the game around that.
I tried the game for a couple hours, and at first I was excited to try something new, but I didn't have much fun with it, and gave up on it.
The developer update made me laugh

They're clearly very receptive at least which is great to see, I just couldn't stop laughing at the dude talking with his walmart mic
