Not surprised but I'm still a bit bummed out. A stealth game with mechs and all other sorts of cool stuff? Sounds good but in the case of Left Alive, I guess it isn't. Shame.
Why are you so excited? Honest question, I don't know much about the game.
I was excited because it's set in the Front Mission world, but yeah :(
Can't say I'm surprised. Just reminded me of those knock off titles that try and emulate more successful games, like Cold Fear back in the PS2 days (although that one wasn't too bad!).
Maybe this is just his elaborate way of saying that pop tarts suck and that toaster strudels are actually a better breakfast.
We need more people like you in this world in terms of gaming tastes.
Gaming has turned to either AAA or Indies with nothing in between and is quite frankly a shit trend with fuck all variety.
I'd take this over the 100s of Anthems/Ass creeds and other "AAA" blockbuster GAAS games.
Is this better or worse than Brandon Jones calling Anthem his poptart.?
People are saying it's just "last gen jank" but the gameplay looks worse than that. Like even old games had better AI than "enemy stands in place and shoots you forever"
Lol, alright then.
OT: I was intrigued by the core cocnepts behind this, but a shame to see it may end up a janky shadow of what might have been.
Old jank isn't just old games. It isn't a diss on older games being less advanced and worse. For the record, I don't think there's really any "last-gen jank" because last-gen was devoid of true jank for the most part. Maybe stuff like Infinite Undiscovery. There aren't many anymore. I'm talking about actual jank that was considered jank even in the PS1 and PS2 era. Games which you can see clearly tried to be more than they were success at and were bursting at the seams just being a mess. Those games were very interesting to play even if there is annoying stuff to suffer through.
We rarely get that anymore and this is the poster child for jank in the current generation.
I wish people would just call it jank instead of referencing previous generations. I've seen complaints about animations and stuff looking "old" which wouldn't bother me. Criticism of games for having "outdated" mechanics is pretty common (see crackdown 3, for example) and I wish people would differentiate more between just old/inconvenient design and legitimately broken shit. It seems like this game has both, though.
Does anyone knows when the reviews will be out? Or the embargo is already over but nobody care to review this?
I am so confused. How could they turn this series into a fucking survival stealth game?
When will we get a proper Front Mission 6?

I already know the answer: never
I had hoped this game could be the Resi "Revelations" type games but for the FM series but looks like they could not even muster that. Still curious to see more impressions not that I care to get this or anything.
You don't really see this kind of game with suspect production values and gameplay from most established indies let alone a big company like SE and they have put 2 out now in such a short space of time now. Truly does feel like the PS2 era again.

The game got a 31/40 from Famitsu, which is about a 5/10 by their standards: https://gematsu.com/2019/02/famitsu-review-scores-issue-1577
True, this game may review in the 50's.
This will be confirmed upon the reveal of Death Stranding's full cast. :3
Still going to grab it in the future. I expected these reviews but something about the game is still drawing me in.
Can't say I'm surprised. Still, got the game pre-ordered digitally and can't wait to try it out.
Regardless of its quality, it seems to be trying something new that I've personally never seen before and that excites me.
I'd rather take a chance on a game like Left Alive than say DMC5, a game where I know exactly what I'm getting.

Seriously. kill.switch gameplay looked better than this, and that was a PS2 game that preceded the cover shooter epidemic.
I can tolerate janky PS2 game design but the moment I see the word ''buggy'' the game is dead to me.
2008 wasn't enough, huh?
Or is it the stealth formula he wants? That would make sense.
