So now that the game has been out for a few days, has anyone had a chance to play it properly? How are you liking it so far?

[...] Okay. What about multiplayer? Did you get a chance to play PvE or PvP in coop?

Wasn't expecting too much (not really type of game) and tried it out. It started great. Loved the setting and the atmosphere created in the destroyed snowy new york. The first fights started and that was a lot of fun too. Then you learn about your base and you can upgrade it. Pretty cool. Fun game. At that point I thought about getting it. But really quick it became boring. Every fight felt thw same. Hide, shoot, enemy dead. On bosses hide, let them shoot, wait for animation where they dont shoot, shoot them, and repeat till the bulletsponge is dead. So after I explored everything in the PvE-zone I went to the DZ. Managed to kill quite a few people. Even had a long and interesting fight. But after an hour it's boring and repetetive. I don't know what they will add, but so far I feel this game is lacking content and motivation to play past the first few hours. But well, let's see how the full version plays out.

c) I have a BAD computer and with some LOD tricks I managed to get decent FPS and gameplay. But I keep hearing the game is badly optimised. There isn't much the community team can do about it but I really hope the game will get constant updates to make the game smoother for low AND high end performances.

I like it. The game feels a lot like h1z1 or dayz if anyone played that, but more refined and constrained to a specific area. Basically, you start at the NYC docks, doing a bit of running around and a few tutorial missions to get your gear and levels going, but the real fun is in the Dark Zone. The DZ is a PVP area which has better loot, but that loot isn't yours until you extract it by chopper (which you have to shoot a flare for, wait 1.5 minutes and hope you don't die in the meantime). There are keys you can find by killing NPC's (or by killing players :D ), which can open boxes that have good loot. And that's where it goes a bit iffy. If you come across a person, you have to gauge if they're trustworthy enough to let you live and if they don't have friends. Three of the biggest issues in the beta are a) content, b) the rogue system and c) performance a) There isn't enough content to get a good grasp of how well the game will be in the long run. Obviously it's a beta, but you really hit the endgame quickly and from there on you just run around and hope to be able to open a box. Once that gets boring you head out and kill players for fun. b) BAITED SoBayed You can bait people into going rogue by shooting them once (less than 20% dmg). Your name will go red but you won't be rogue yet. Unless they pay attention to the small skull newer players will open fire and you're able to kill them without consequences. That has to change. c) I have a BAD computer and with some LOD tricks I managed to get decent FPS and gameplay. But I keep hearing the game is badly optimised. There isn't much the community team can do about it but I really hope the game will get constant updates to make the game smoother for low AND high end performances. I've just read on the subreddit that anticheat will be implemented so I'm not going to comment on that. The beta was fun, I had a great time playing it and watching streamers go through the game. A really interesting take on an FPS RPG on which I would spend countless hours if I had less self control. Thanks for the invite, and too bad the companion app didn't make it :(
