Some Personal Impressions after 5 hours
I spent about 5 hours playing the game in total one side team filling, the other side with a full crew.
SOLO
Def solo it can be super eerie and I do wish people had their team chat on during those times def can try to have more coordination.
My first impression was I kinda like this game I love the pacing, I actually like that it’s not balls to the wall PVP and instead you can sometimes run into someone and sometimes you can get out. I think that helps a lot to allow for people to extract at times.
I loved the overall vibes of the game and I’m okay with losing stuff, games like returnal made me be okay as long as there is some form of progression which I see that with contracts etc getting credits over time to buy stuff.
The UI I agree with folks there’s some tweaks that should be done to help quickly differ on what items do in certain categories etc.
Full Crew
I spent 2 hours playing first just me and one other person, then we found a cool dude as a third and did extractions together. THIS is where I think the game shines so much, I used to play destiny and it gave me that same feeling I had then. We were playing really well as a team coordinating together, facing bots and People alike, seeing how runs can still be salvaged as long as just one of us is alive. Just overall a blast I could have played way longer with a good crew together.
The moment where the game came all together with me, we were on dire marsh and trying to do a contract. We were chatting casually on team chat, then I hear something.. I wasn’t sure but it sounded like footsteps I was about to yell out to my team but I sort of ignored it fro a sec, but then I was like yo I hear somebody and sure enough I got shot from behind but I was calling out where they were. It was a rook trying to get us all down lol. We got rid of him. But overall I have to say totally enjoyed my time with game and I’m there day 1 lol.
TLDR
Game is fun as hell with a team, solo wish more people in teams had team chat on, would like to see more reminders in game for people to just talk.
The Sound Design in this game is out of this world, amazing gunplay and I’m enjoying the progression.
The game is best played with a crew I can see why at first bungie wanted to have people play as a team of 3 its def the height of the game.
I also think Duos will be a good addition as well.
Overall Def cant wait for launch and to play this game and find out more about the setting.
