  I have to admit I didn’t notice that the voice lines were IA :s

    Which is a bit ironic given the story of the game is that AI has taken over the (surface) world.

    I took someone else’s recommendation here and picked it up last week. As an old, solo player I’ve been killed by players twice out of 30ish games.

    Most all the solo players I’ve met are friendly and offering help on voice chat.

    I usually avoid PvP games and I didn’t like ARC Raiders at first, but it has grown on me.

    Unless you use the starter kit, you’ll always have at least one safe pocket slot, allowing you to bring back at least one item (or a stack) even if you get knocked out. Moreover, so often my stash is full even after multiple expansions, so the game encourages using those resources to craft weapons, which again makes it less of a problem if you get knocked out.

    Later quests are not easily completed, but you can focus on completing the daily tasks for battle pass progression. There will be simple tasks like having to open containers or doing damage to the ARC robots, so you can just go out with the stater kit and do those, not worrying about losing your loot. With that mentality, at least sometimes (though often in my case playing solo), you’ll extract and get a lot of loot on top of your XP and tasks progression.

  frankly i didnt even think the voices could be ai voiced, which is a bit worrying if they are.

    Even more worrying that it’s not disclosed in Steam’s AI usage section on their store page:

    AI Generated Content Disclosure

    The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

    During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.

  How aggressive is the in-game monetization?

  source

  • Zoot@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    None to speak of. You can earn the in game currency all in game, and they only thing you would use the “paid for currency” is for cosmetics, but again, you gain plenty of free cosmetics and even earn the currency required to buy the other ones.

    I will say getting the currency is more difficult than say getting helldivers super credits, but it’s still a fair rate and the game just came out. I expect more “packs” or ways to make the currency.

      Is there even a way to get the currency? The battle pass doesn’t count, that probably gives enough currency to buy the next battle pass when it releases.

  They also make the game “The finals” which also uses AI voices. If I recall correctly, they paid some people to offer their voices to be used for AI generated voice lines.

  I wish they didn’t though because the rest of the game is really good. It’s like they took the look of mirrors edge and combined it with battlefield gameplay in a smaller map design and no vehicles.
