    Not a great first impression when the first thing you ever seen/hear about a game is the CEO of the company that made said game’s conspiracy theory about why people are saying their game sucks.

    Oh yeah, there’s always someone “paying” for bad reviews. Yet they can never prove it.

    The game looks fiiiiiiiiiiine but I’m already exhausted at the thought of another $80 USD price tag with DLC/microtransactions and forced multiplayer elements.

    AAA studios are all doing the same sorts of things and putting just a little twist on it hoping it’ll be enough to persuade you away from all the other AAA games and studious out there doing the exact same thing.

    I’m not a hater, I don’t hate your mediocre looking game that absolutely fails to stand out from the crowd, but I’m not gonna buy into your advertising for it either. To anyone who finds a home in this game and enjoys it, I’m legit happy for you. Mostly I’m just never going to think about this ever again.

      Mindseye is $60, and it’s much easier to stand out from the crowd when the crowd is all the way back in 2010.

    While these are former Rockstar devs, so there is some incentive to potentially take them down, what they have shown is… Not impressive yet

    “Driving and shooting, the game.”

    Oh and you can make your own scripted driving and shooting levels

    The plot is basically current day American life. You don’t need the game to play it. …because life is “The Game”.

    The game looks like a mixture of GTA, Mafia, modernize APB in a cyberpunk-esque universe with generic Unreal 5 graphics.

    The mod tool is the biggest feature in my eyes, but for the average gamer does that make a difference? I don’t think you need to pay to criticize this game, but what do I know? I been paid by Russia and China to have this account on lemmy 🤷‍♂️

    I mean, if it’s a technical mess, that’s one thing, but I think this looks great. More importantly, we really haven’t gotten many games like this in so, so long, and I’m hungry for it.
