Nightshade780

To me this was a game that I was greatly anticipating and very eager to play. I participated in open beta and was willing to forgive bugs and black screen issues on my wife's pc because it was a beta. This is the official release, and many of the bugs are still there. Primarily the black screen. The game is unplayable as all that comes up is a black screen. I was able to play mine maxed out on my rig no issues or frame rate drops. It even runs fine on my old Alienware mx14xr1 (about a 3.5yr old laptop). The flight system is horrible, the vehicle system abysmal. For starters there is no joystick support at all what so ever, you can use an xbox controller, but this gives it a cheap port feeling. Like they didn't give a care for the PC. Then secondly the spawning in vehicles is cheap un-inmersive, and feels like a half finished game. One would be expecting to be able to go to a hangar and jump in your fighter and roll out. But none of that happens. U just spawn up in the air already in flight, only to crash to the ground shortly after from the horrible controls. This also ruins the game as well because the battle field as epic as they wanted it to seem it is hard for it to look awesome as you see tie fighters, a wings, and x wings raining down on the battle field not from being shot down but from pilots not being able to control them and just slamming to the deck. The partner system is also disappointing and seems limiting not to mention for a battle field game the maps feel small and confined and very few players. some maps 12v12 and max is 20v20 this also seems as a limitation because of consoles. This is in no way epic and perhaps the reason for the spawn in vehicle system to make the battle field seem more crowded. This should have truly been made for the pc and watered down for the console peasants. I am hugely disappointed and have walked away from this tittle. Again I praise origin over their refund policy as it is amazing letting us walk away from shoddy developers. Steam has tried, but falls short on this as I feel their return policy is inferior. I hope they fix this tittle but as it stands this tittle has no hope. Pros: - good visuals - fast paced action - laser battles are amazing - feels like you are in a star wars movie cons - flying is lame and boring - spawns are horrible - map feels confined and small. - Black screen on start up that won't let my wife even play the game - partner system seems limiting - no joystic support for flying - power ups, weapons, and vehicles are icons like a retro arcade video game Hope this helps those of you that are on the fence.

If you are looking for a fun co operative game to play with your buddies and have a good time, then look no further. I will not go into details because many others have. So I will be straight. If you enjoy the game it is beneficial for you to drop a bit of money into it and get a jump pad, glider pad, and a vehicle. That's basically all you will need to spend money on. The rest is cosmetic things and trinkets.

Pure Awesomeness!! So I was very hesitant at first to get into this, and like most of you searched every where and read reviews and watched game play videos well let me not waste your time. If you liked x-com enemy unknown then you will love this. I am giving it a 9 because there are no jet packs or hooks to be able to place your snipers on high ground. So far at the time of writing this review I have logged in 13.8 hours. (in past 2 days) like wow I am hooked. Game has lots of things for you to find and discover(Easter eggs) etc. and don't forget to Save, Save, Save LOL....
