The game honestly isnt that bad once you play it for a bit. I've been enjoying it a bunch.
I'm kind of on the fence about trying it out but watching Aculite playing this is just something else.

I'm a sucker for campy 80s crap but the art direction of this game is really unimaginative. And where are the women? Too hard to animate?
oh boy another battle royale game !!!
tbh I appreciate it being a hybrid of the 2 most popular BR instead of being a flat out clone of one. Also I do like the approach of the cash system.
I'm liking it so far, they need to fix the graphics stuff soon, it sucks a lot to play in 800x600
I really hope the address hackers soon. It sucks that I keep running into them...
I've been enjoying the game a lot. They made a blog post earlier about the networking issues they had at launch which is interesting to read.

That's som rad stuff! Also i found this stuff on Steam guide, might be useful for you guys, it's fps boost guide, check it out
The first update has gone live. Lots of great stuff here.
Bikes no longer spin out constantly and now have air control, allowing you to do tricks and fall on your head, which will knock you off.
You can dive through windows.
More customization options like sunglasses and more kill cards.
Added the FAL rifle.
Performance increases and much more.

New update is awesome, glad they fixed the server issues. LOVING the QoL stuff they did.
Ehh, idk but the SA servers tend to get laggy like mid-close to end of the match. Hopefully they fix this
Yeah the QoL stuff is fantastic, like automatically picking up ammo and cash/prizes stuff when you walk over them, and they changed the warmup to 60 seconds, so it feels a lot faster to get into a game.
So i just noticed that shots on some guns, like revolvers and the M14 are not 100% accurate as it says, even though you are crouching and standing still and the person is standing still too. I think this carries to other weapons, since sometimes i'm crouching and somehow i'm missing a lot of shots with a golden M16 per say. Anyways, is anyone up for some duos matches?
Still Radically low framerates?
Not so much, i can play now on 1024 with a decent fps instead of being forced to use 640 and yet not be enough. There is some configuration that i posted above that helps even more, i really recommend it
This is legit the least optimised game I have ever played.
I get 40-50 fps in farcry 5 @1080p maxed out but I get 27 fps in this game @720p lowest settings
What do you guys think about a reward system that gives you extra money depending of what position you died, from 25th to later? Because sometimes you can get into like 5th place or such and have no money at all, either because you never run across of it or you spend it in the shops
Ok, so i'm confused now, does armor do anything at all? I was using lvl 3 armor and a green level M12 just destroyed me like paper. This game is weird sometimes
Did you have a helmet on too?
Yes, lvl 3 as well and that's what i found weird: all of the time if not most of my combats my helmet is intact but my armor gets destroyed. I really don't understand because a low level gun shouldn't be able to kill you so quickly
Ok, i have played this for a while and i must say this game it has it's goods and bads, so here it's my take as a EA title:
Way to early to be released, it should had more refinement on the mechanics before launching, the whole animation and model assets stuff could be done later during EA.
Is not pay 2 win but it cuts the fun of customizing your character by half since most of clothes are way too much expensive to buy with in-game cash.
Shooting and the armor system is something weird, shooting over the shoulder doesn't mean you will land your first shot even though you are crouched and standing still and the target is like medium-close range and going auto while engaging a close range battle means praying to RNG to be on your side. Armor doesn't seem to protect the way it should, with a LVL 3 armor and helmet you can still die very easily for a LVL 0-1 weapon, especially SMGs since the armor barely protects your health.
Weapons are not balanced correctly while comparing to other types, a small pistol, i think is the Grueber something like that, is more accurate than M14 somehow. Shotguns are mixed bag since there is only 3 variations: 2 LVL 0's that are pretty much useless unless you don't have any other weapon and one LVL 4 which is a god like when used it. FAL destroys people meanwhile the other rifles struggles to be efficient while comparing towards the SMGs, especially the AK.
Punching is a joke, wins who smash the M1 button first. Even though your character is not doing the animation he still punching. Is funny because if you spam you can kill someone with a weapon very quickly.
Consumables are ok, just the radar should be a timed delay instead of amount of uses because is extremely useful for quiet times and close to the end game.
The zone should be more quick, to engage even more battles and instead of being a just pop and the zone is there it should be a slow burning like the other BR games do.
The events are meh, you barely has a chance to participate unless you are close to it, so it should be more frequent, have more variety and be available in more areas simultaneously .
Bikes are a joke: they are not common to find, you can't use one handed weapons(pistols, Terminator shotgun) meanwhile driving it, which it should be a thing and the races you barely has a chance to participate because you need to be lucky to have a bike within you and be able to reach the start and the finish line with no chance of encountering danger since you are very vulnerable on it.
Shops are a good idea, the only thing is you should have a ATM close to every shop so people are more engaged to withdraw money frequently to buy.
Idk what else i have to say
Hopefully we can see this idea come back again from another developer
