Hey everyone, I’m thinking for this one rather than posting a review thread like I normally do, we can just chat.
Has anyone picked it up? If so what are your thoughts so far? If you haven’t picked it up, are you enticed by what you’ve seen in reviews and impressions? Do you have concerns? Also, if anyone here has played the first one, how do you like or dislike the changes they’ve made?
Personally, I am 90% certain I’m gonna pick it up. Tonally it looks hilarious, and gameplaywise it looks very tactical and visceral. I also think the price is just right for me to be a bit impulsive ($40). I’m trying to hype my friend group up to see if we can get a party together. If not, then I’ll probably wait for them to patch the issue with public matchmaking on PS5 before I pick it up.
So what do you all think?
Randomly watched the Kindafunny gameplay on Thursday. I was interested because it felt like Division 2 and Starship Troopers had a baby based on the gameplay trailers. Game looked really fun and Greg gave it an initial 5/5 based on a day of playing on stream. Managed to convince my best friend in Australia to pick it up as well on PS5. It’s $40 and I had PS credit, so it felt like a steal.
I’ve been playing all weekend, when I’m not playing, I’m thinking about it. At first matchmaking wasn’t working, I really enjoyed the easy solo missions and then finally on Saturday our timezones aligned and we played doubles. This game is so fun with other people, the accidental friendly fire is hilarious at times and makes you strategic with where you shoot and walk.
It isn’t perfect, visually a little glitchy at times and the climbing is terrible, but I’m excited to unlock the jump pack. I can also see it getting repetitive without new content in the future, fingers crossed they planned ahead.
The battle pass doesn’t feel predatory, you collect the currency while playing and get the premium currency to unlock the paid battle pass. If you play a lot, you likely won’t need to spend any more!
I’ve been playing Cyberpunk and felt uncertain about it, sometimes it has too much going on… this game is mindless fun but also challenging and unpredictable.
Right now it’s my favorite game of the year (early I know). Now the matchmaking works and once my Pulse Elite arrive, this might be my main game for a while!
Based on your mention in the other thread, I watched the KF video where they talked about it. I usually align with Greg’s opinion on most games. I can’t wait to jump in…FOR DEMOCRACY!
