Me and 2 mates tried this last night. We've been waiting for this for some time we were excited to get into the beta, sadly though after roughly 2 hours, we don't have any interest in continuing.
The game looks great, I love the weather system, at one point at night, we were going walking alongside a forest, abosolute crazy weather, full on rain and wind. It looked and sounded fantastic, then when the morning came, we had this foggy morning. I had my graphics on medium, but it looked gorgeous.
The guns sound great, real meaty and handle pretty well. No real complaints about the gun play.
The gameplay though, was severally lacking. I can't comment on other peoples experiences, but I didn't feel threatened. The enemies were so easy to take down and few in number.
There were two exceptions, we went into a dark bunker, which was very atmospheric, but proved to be disappointing, it was over too soon.
The 2nd time was when we come across some big robot. Which was tough to kill, but in a MMORPG type of way. I think we spent the best part of 10 minutes pouring bullets into the thing just to down it. Then when we finally did it, it damaged us when we got too close, so we couldn't loot our prize.
I have hopes for the game, but it needs some serious gameplay tweeks.

7 days isn't boring! They really need to hurry up and release A17, been waiting for a year now

Maybe it needs to add the other players in the server option that would really spice it up, just think while your fighting the robots another squad comes in to either join and help or turn and fight you.
Soldato
And you'll jump out after an hour not much to do but the game looks bloody gorgeous and the sound is incredible. Make sure you use headphones
I disagree. It's not a twitch shooter and I like that. You have to be careful and methodical.
It is indeed.
Oh yes!
Soldato
What do you have to be careful of. As a few have noted, the mechs offer little to no threat, so it’s certainly not them you need to be careful of. I took to running up and down the road just to try and aggro as many as possible to make the fights at least kind of interesting.
Methodical? The games points to/highlights everything you need to do/collect/look at.
Soldato
Exactly lol there's not much there yet but it's a neat idea and will get better
Soldato
Fingers crossed. It looks and sounds gorgeous. But at the minute it’s nowt more than a ‘tech’ demo
They did to me.
Soldato
those donkey/horse sized ones?
Yes.
Actually, it doesn't do so properly and I've reported that as an issue.
Soldato
weird. i thought they were borderline useless and i'm hardly what you would call a crack shot.
Soldato
huh? it doesn't do what properly? highlight/pinpoint what you need to do or where you need to go?
Both actually. For example, consider the church. The quest marker disappeared at times and it took me ages to find out I had to be sufficiently near the noticeboard. A similar thing happened in the farm when it took me ages to spot the note in the barn. Compare how GZ does it with how Borderlands 2 does it and you'll see how it should be.
