It has been a couple days since the demo dropped and I was wondering what other people thought about it.
Personally I think this game is a mess:
Writing: Frankly it’s awful. The story is terrible and makes little sense, the characters swing between super serious to comedy relief. I feel like my character goes from a damaged orphan who regrets what he had to do to survive to literal psychopath. I see people who say the story isn’t meant to be taken serious but then why have characters who treat it seriously? At least with Borderlands we know that it isn’t serious and the characters and writing reflect that.
Gameplay: It reminds me of a mix between Mass Effect, Division and Anthem.
The game features a major cover system that is poorly implemented with it being difficult to use and far more fun to play in the open; which becomes a huge issue since at higher difficulties you must use the cover system to survive. It’s even worse when the games tagline is …
There seems to be a major issue going around which prevents you from playing any ‘old’ EA games.
To put this short, if you open up a game (in my case with Dead Space 2), you will be greeted with the Activation Manager which will activate your license key. However, it will say that your license key is invalid and is now asking you to type a new one in, but you won’t find your old key in the “CD keys” tab because it isn’t there anymore.
Small-ish update: If you have any EA game installed, don’t uninstall it either. You will be forced to type in a new key.
update 2: Even with EA Play, you can’t play the game.
update 3: So far, the games that are affected by this are: Mass Effect 2 DLC’s, Crysis 1, Dead Space 2, Medal of Honor
update 4: There is a workaround to solve the issue in DS2 and the ME2 DLC’s.
Something with some point and click problem solving. No real combat or way to die/lose. Decent modernish graphics? Mature theme.
Would also accept a decent “choices matter” walking sim.
Just looking for a story and not intensive gameplay.
Thank you!
