Seems interesting but I kinda want to play with others as I feel like multiplayer is what'll make or break it. I'll check out later once multiplayer isn't borked.

Crashed a few more times just messing around on the inventory screen! Hope these reports are helping!
I know it's too early to really care at all about builds and stuff, but... does anyone know how to increase Status Power? I have 0 and have a mod that scales off it. Don't see any nodes that increase it in the class tree and none of my current gear adds any... anyone happen to have found maybe an armor piece that increases it?

I could see that, in the way that cover is often a trap and you want to keep moving all the time
And in how it pisses people off because they don't know not to play it like Gears.
I went from wtf is this to I might actually get this day one. The demo did its job I guess.
What not to like ATM;
-There are a handful of PC-related options missing such as motion blur setting or seeing what type of AA solution is actually in play.
-Walking/Running feels kinda weird with KB/M but the actual gameplay is fine.
-30fps lock in cutscenes. (they said this will be fixed in the final version)
-Even at the highest settings game doesn't look clean. Graphics, especially the effects are fine but the IQ is not great.
Positives;
+No serious technical issues or bugs. The game runs and plays pretty solid.
+Prologue was a slow start but once you handed your weapons and skills game clicked instantly.
+Started as Trickster, even the first set of skills can create beautiful chain kills.
+Gameplay is not groundbreaking but it's intuitive and it borrows solid ideas from other games.
+Loot will be interesting by the looks of it. Higher-level gear will probably open up some interesting build ideas.
Neutral;
-World building and characters B tier at best would've been a lot more exciting if this had enough budget to create a universe like Destiny, The Division, or even Anthem in this matter.
-Couple of mission areas feels extremely gamey but this could change in later levels, naturally the game has a lot to offer on top of what's already in the demo.
-Soundtracks are important for this type of game, demo is lacking in this department.
-Since this is neither Diablo nor Destiny I hope the late-game opens up even more to not get repetitive.

Opening part of the demo certainly doesn't do this game any favors. Also looks extremely dated on PS5. Audio is poor quality, especially gun sounds. Sounds like AC Valhalla. No HDR options other than an obscure HDR brightness number? 🤣 Hope it gets better!
Yes, game has been giving me quite bad performance as it did for my friend.
PSA anyone with large steam friends list. Sign out of Steam friends / go offline and it'll reduce stuttering big time if you are experiencing it.
I was getting bad general stuttering, not in a city yet so cant speak to that.
Can't believe games still have this issues, I remember it from COD Ghosts lol

This seems...eh.
The controls are really rough, there's a crazy amount of acceleration on the camera that you can't turn off, so even if it starts slow it just cranks up and goes super fast. The game never feels right as long as it's like that.

Just watched some videos and seems like its the same for everyone when it comes to stutter:
Obviously on a 3080 the frames are good in the starting area. In the city its CPU limited though.
Seems like the stutter mostly occurs when an effect appears on screen. like when punching an enemy with this freeze/cryo punch.
I have been very much enjoying the main character and some of the cutscene direction (outside of shake)
She DID ruin our cool one liner....but I still <3 herneed to find a girl that looks at me like Eva Lopez
me too, he's much more playful than the gruff automaton i expected
Not sure if you did the "Mc Cain" side quest yet, but the cutscene there and "Why do I even bother?" had me smiling
I HATE how some games give you an HDR or Brightness slider with nothing to compare it to.
I kinda dig it. Feels like a SyFy original. Neat destruction/lighting/environments. Janky, but fun.
Oh yeah, this is the good type of cover shooter. The type where you don't have to take cover.
It's a pretty fun game but I'm hoping the demo is an old build since it's rough. Cutscenes are littered with audio issues and stutters all over the place. They also really need to add more options for camera movement to adjust acceleration and deadzone because I really don't like how aiming feels.

Definitely narrowed down all my crashes to either switching from one menu screen to another, or trying to exit the menu. Had 10 or more at this point, crazy. Haven't lost any progress or loot though. I guess that's something to be said for storing everything server-side.

I know it's early but one huge beef I have with this game is the weapons. Are there going to be some cool ass sci fi weapons in this game or is it just going to be a basic looking ass shotgun, rifle, assault rifle etc? Anthem did the same thing and weapon loot was so boring.
There's legendaries in the demo that are certainly unique without spoiling any thing.
Wow that prologue was one of the worst I've played through in a big budget game. So much animation budget spent on the constant cutscenes, but they were all just boring and needless.
Also, are the cutscenes playing between 5 and 15 fps on PC? Some of them had massive frame pacing issues.
Finally got past the prologue and into the generic burning video game trenches. Ugh.
The aiming feels really bad on on controller. It feels slippery and loose, shooting just plain doesn't feel good.
I'll push on as people say it gets better but what an absolutely awful first impression the game gives.
It really feels like a B tier 360 era third person shooter up to this point. Bulletstorm was so much more solid in almost all areas.

The demo actually drops legendaries which you can see in some reddit posts
I really like the setting and atmosphere so far, getting some real Annihilation vibes. Dialogue is hit and miss with some really cringe lines. Gameplay mostly feels good but the AI is a little cheap as it always feels like they know exactly where you are at all times and I'm having some trouble with the cover system. Keep pressing the wrong button to cover which I'm pretty sure is because every other game with a cover system uses a different button.
I don't get it...I lower settings and get worse framerate...I started on Ultra, was getting 65-70 for a minute or two, then dropped into the 40's. I lower to high, starts at 33fps.
Yea, with everytrhing on Ultra I hover between 60 and 80 /90 depending on the scene.
But still feels okay. Only the stuttering is a bit annoying.
Yeah.
You would think the developer hadn't played a shooter in the past 5 years based on how the game controls. Which is odd coming from People Can Fly. Quite disappointing. No remapping either I think? The game doesn't seem to give a damn about accessibility.
I appreciate that they managed to work the word "bozos" into the dialogue not once but twice in the first 15 minutes.
Hmmm, when you get to the "Thank You For Playing!" end of demo screen... anyone else just stuck? Like, I can't back out of it with the button they list for "close," have to Alt-Tab and kill the process?
It's the same button as Gears of War. But, you need to get used to not really using cover that much, taking advantage of whatever your class mechanic to heal is and staying mobile and aggressive.
I got this when I wanted to leave the game before signing up with an SE account. I was just keep going back to the splash screen with no option to actually close the game.
I mean judging from performance on an RTX2070 I somehow doubt it. at least with Ultra-like settings.
Man, the cutscenes are like the entire charm of the game.
Your main character is hilarious in how dry his/her humor is and he/she has a ton of charm.
That moment in the beginning where a character takes a selfie with your character and you do this goofy "selfie smile" with the peace sign?
That should have tipped everyone off that this game just kinda has heart.
Also all of us on stream laughed our asses off at the "bad day" side quest cutscene:

Mr Chang getting shot by a FUCKING NINJA lol. I was just making a joke about the "chinese ancient shop owner" stereotype when suddenly a FUCKING NINJA lol
Crazy how much better my experience was on PS5 tonight compared to my first test on XSX earlier this afternoon. Resolution seems lower, blacks are crushed af, but the game is A LOT more stable at 60 during gameplay.
Not feeling the pyro too much for now, but I think it'll open up a lot in the full game. Which I'll probably buy with friends.
Audio is absolute shit though, and the neverending dialogue bugs are embarrassing, even for a demo. French localization is a joke too, but that's on top of the other issues.

Audio seems off in my PS Golds on PS5. I think that's my biggest complaint so far.
It is what it is. The story and stuff is SyFy original at best. I think this falls more in lines with Borderlands than something like Destiny/Division. There will be a campaign and some loot to grind, but largely there will be a natural end point. I could see myself getting a decent 40-50 hours out of it and being satisfied.
