Official Gameplay Reveal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmb2FJG ... XVyolQO3wj
I skimmed the video back when it was shown a couple months ago, but now I sat down to watch it carefully, and I will offer some comments.
When I saw it absentmindedly it appeared very impressive, but that impression collapsed on the careful watch. Right off the bat, the little mech they show is disgusting. Typical Western bucket design as seen in the Titanfalls, but even worse here. BattleTech > Titanfall > Starfield, but note that BattleTech's designs are still pretty bad.
The environments are a mixed bag, but the city they show is ugly, and not in a good dystopian way. Just boring buildings and layouts and colors. Boring flora too. Some industrial/office facilities they show in the middle of nowhere, where the shooting takes place, are pretty good for what they are, but the planetary environment is another mixed bag. It looks good enough on the short-scale, but I bet if you zoomed out it would look repetitive and unimaginative, lacking any grand features. I suppose Star Citizen has spoiled me forever now. I would have set all these reservations aside to wait for the final product if not for the fact that the world-building is obviously boring generic programmer story, which ruins what little interest I would have in exploring these subpar environments.
Enemies don't move at all when you shoot them, so what else is new. Otherwise the gunplay looks acceptable for the genre. I have a whole essay on Patreon on why first-person shooting MUST feel crap when you add heavy-stat ARPG mechanics to it. I'd be okay with it if everything else was stellar, but if you add the shitty world-building and meh environments, why would I bother?
And to top it all off, at least half the characters appear black, and probably way more than half if you add browns. Is this game going to sell a lot of units outside of white people nations? Only then I would accept this—but still wouldn't play the game.
The game is AT BEST a 3/5 going by the trailer, if the shooting ends up fun and the story and environments turn out half-decent. In all probability though, the game is 2/5 like basically everything Bethesda has ever made. A new jacket in Star Citizen is worth more to me than this entire game. It doesn't even have to be a very cool jacket.
