Bought this Friday based on the feedback here lol. I had a very brief encounter with it in the open beta and liked what I saw there tbh. This is a loot game through and through. Just like when Diablo came out, the new generation of gamers who were exposed to hype went out and snapped it up not realising what it was. You then saw user reviews trashing it as the campaign was beaten in 6 hours or the max level was reached in a similar time. People trashing the game play as samey etc etc. This type of game scratches a certain itch as far as I am concerned and only a certain type of gamer is interested in scratching it. in this case normal FPS shooter fans need not necessarily apply.
I am only level 4 at the moment and so yes I have not seen a lot but I know already that I will like this game as the mechanics of the game are sound and there seems to be plenty to do. I like the environments, I find them quite inspiring; encouraging me to explore further than I am meant to on certain missions. I think I will lvl another character at some point but may be not straight away.
Yes, when Shadows of Mordor and Assassins Creed Unity comes out, this may leave my drive for a while. However when they are done and never see the PS4 again I just know that the Destiny disc will be back in there.
One question for now - doe this game do PUGs - have not really tried yet, but when I saw a patrol mission saying 1-3 players, I could not see an obvious PUG option. Wish they would give manuals away with games that have mechanics over and above shooting things!
I have put in a request to join the OcUK PS4 clan btw if some one can approve. Cheers.
