that was painful to watch

if there isn't an obnoxious MP achievement grind.

I had a brief play. It definitely has some input lag and the default mouse speed is laughably slow, I could barely turn around corners let alone shoot anything. Controls feel floaty. Some of the weapons seem kind of nerfed, I'm not sure what the lightning gun is good at, and the vortex rifle shoots like a rail gun but doesn't do rail gun damage. Demon rune is kind of fun when you grab one. FOV is annoying.

It feels okay for a casual game, but I don't think I'll play it with any kind of lasting value. Feels like a console game.

You gotta zoom in and charge the vortex rifle for max damage. I usually use the static rifle instead. Fire off your charged shot then switch to another weapon to finish the man off.

Why would you need more than 1 key to switch between 2 weapons it doesn't make sense

Also, beta, morons.
Oh no I can't tweak every aspect of the game through menus. Newsflash : they're testing the server loads and gameplay balance, not player UI.

Somehow I can't see people playing this twenty years down the line.

Oh, and they've just announced a Season Pass too.

When do you think they'll release the source code for this then?

One new weapon

Unfortunately I think that we are in the minority in terms of customer base - most of the people purchasing FPS-genre games are used to this new style, for better or for worse. Competitive FPS market analogous to Quake3 is a niche market... they made the game that will sell the most to the current market which is also a 3 month life-cycle until the majority of the user base moves on to the next game.. these days games are like movie releases - money grab for the opening week then few more weeks of play and on to the next release. The old days are gone, in my opinion.

But I will purchase this game when it comes out in the hope that they tweak it and enjoy what I can. The Beta made it clear that I'm not any good at these games anymore so I'll sit in my rocking chair and enjoy the nostalgia of it for the few weeks people are playing it.
