I’ve been playing Tech Test 2 on Xbox and I think it’s fantastic. Huge fan of The Finals so this has been on my radar for the past year or so. The game looks great and I love the art style. It’s like stepping into 70s sci-fi, like the Atari Missile Command cover art, in the best way possible. Fun gameplay, interesting mechanics and a lovely mix of ideas that work well together. Definitely looking forward to the release.

It’s been my experience that 100% of extraction shooters would be made better or hold on to an audience longer if they had a PvP-less mode.

These companies are told by analysts that it’s always better to have the players make the content for them.

That’s why PVP games are always free-to-play and co-op games “require” each player to buy their own copy (so now you have to do the companies’ dirty work for them by convincing your friends to spend money.) It’s all fucked, and it’s all about following the money.

It’s the Toyota Camry of extraction shooters.

I think it needs 30+ years of experience to be able to prove that statement

Nothing wrong with that, that’s legit a statement of praise.

The problem is it straight up is not applicable to this game.

The new normal for what?

For AAA games. Make a barely serviceable game with the least possible effort so that it can serve as a wrapper for micro transactions.

Live service, sure, since that’s the entire point of live service, but we’re spoiled for choice of fantastic games across different scopes and scales that don’t have any microtransactions at all.

Only if you’re a pirate.

Always feels good pirating a game and then receiving all the content for free while suckers are proud to pay.

If you think the only way to find fantastic games without microtransactions is to pirate, then you’re missing tons of great games.

We probably have different tastes and standards for our entertainment.

Just about every game released in at least the past 10 years that interests me has some form of microtransactions or DLC.

I think you’re having trouble finding the good stuff in the first place then. We’re flooded with more great games than ever. And microtransactions are one thing, but something like a DLC expansion isn’t pressuring you to buy it if you like the base game. Even still, if you had a problem with the existence of any DLC for a game whatsoever, there’s still tons to play.

I’d encourage folks to watch some gameplay videos on this instead of just reading this article. Every one I’ve watched showed gameplay that looked like lot of fun and the folks playing had a much different opinion than this. Looks a lot more interesting than Marathon at the very least.

lol, it’s Jared Petty… I’ve not seen a single positive preview or review from him since he started doing IGN articles. No hate to the guy, I liked when he did Kindafunny content back in the day, seems like a genuinely nice dude… but… this doesn’t seem like a game he’d like (he’s more of a retro games and RPG kind of guy). Also IGN has plummeted in my expectations with a lot of the drama as of late (people quitting and corporate ownership). I played a few rounds this morning, loving it so far, but I’ve also been pumped for this game for a long time! So I’m definitely biased and I’ve also not played enough to say it’s AMAZING! But I have watched multiple people play (JackFrags and OperatorDrewski were both great) and I’d suggest you watch those instead of taking an IGN article from this dude as your final opinion.

I feel like a lot of these studios are just paid to put out mediocre garbage in the hopes that it will sucker an audience that doesn’t know any better.

It really is throwing shit at the wall to see what will stick at this point.

Glad I stopped caring about modern games.
