This game looks nice but I can't get over the fact that they have "make you better than everyone else for a little awhile" key presses, in a FPS anyway.
Now I'm waiting for the female sniper whose butt expands when she puts on her goggles.

personally, it looks like an unfun clusterfuck
Not as hyped for Bastion
At a glance, he's a very simple character. But without good situational awareness and knowledge of positioning, you are just a big target, and the huge shield you have in turret mode is basically just screaming "SHOOT ME."
Some people may think this is the point, to tank damage so the rest of your team can deal it, but it's not. Your guns actually deal a crazy amount of damage, and staying alive will let you mow down enemies.
Also, I find there's something oddly charming about his design.

It's definitely a mess of visuals, but it actually looks pretty fun.
The game designer inside of me screams that they opted for the easy lazy route of having big red letters and big blue letters to tell teammates and enemies apart, rather than doing something actually clever.
Sniping will be a piss easy show, assuming the game gives you any sightlines.

I've always hated when games do this. It really takes away some fun possibilities in FPS games too, most notably hiding becomes impossible.

Well it is an alpha, I'm sure they'll change it later on.

It's kind of a shame. They took a lot of influence from TF2, but forgot what was probably the most important design decision
