Feedback welcome. Note: Yes, there's too much screen shake and too much knockdown.

Looks nice. Music is good, but a bit more dynamic would be nice. And tone down the screen shake. The existing texture look pretty decent too. Maybe as a martial artist, some kicks or something?

So, is that in engine?

Probably my initial reaction is that the core experience of combat is rather simplistic. It seems like melee combat is essentially "run up and punch dude" with the occasional Ray Lewis dance that seems to produce fire everywhere. Are there any plans to make combat dynamic and skill based, something that is sufficiently fun and engaging that the gameplay could stand alone without the MMO trappings? Or is that just a really preliminary build and dynamic combat is something you have planned?

I'll caution you-- prepare to get killed a lot at the lower levels. It takes quite a while to really get a feel for the sometimes huge battle maps and to unlock the weapon attachments that help up your firepower. Learn to communicate with Squadmates (you don't have to via voice if you don't want to)-- because you'll earn XP faster and it makes the game far more exciting when you can coordinate efforts with others.

It was very much worth the $100 I spent -- still playing it years later. At $20, it's an embarrassment of riches.

That looks awesome. What version do I exactly purchase so that I have all the current maps and such? It is a little confusing for my dumb brain.

Anyone wondering what Squadron 42 will be like? Here's my guess:

Hours of unskippable iterations of this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qexLUpQJPw8

Punctuated by iterations of this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMW0g0n1isI

I suspect that what we have as far as 2.0 is concern is largely what we'll get with respect to the feel of flight, so folks bitching that flying feels like a clunky FPS should brace themselves.

they have also stated the flight model in SQ42 might/will not represent the flight model in SC(PU), reason being SQ42 is Single Player so there is no need for balancing.

Battlefield 4 Premium.

Here's more Epic Moments (picked at random) and Hilarious Moments. (watch the guy 1:30 in-- he blows up a tank, is teabagging the tank with a squadmate, then hears something...) I picked that video at random too but it only took a minute before I was cracking up.

It's a testament to the richness of the gameplay experience that the highlight videos themselves are plentiful and fun to watch. Star Citizen videos are funny only in the trainwreck way.

For gently caress's sake. So what happens when SC comes out? Do they gently caress up the mission balance, or do people get to come up with some contrived explanation for why in SQ42 a ship does one thing and in SC it does something completely different?

Fair enough.

Okay, this is what I see:

Very nice city layout, I got a Steel Canyon vibe and liked it very much. Interiors look serviceable, I suspect that'll have an art pass to address the floors and bare walls.

From the hotbar in the the center, there's a bit of old CoX legacy powers in there. That's fine. I didn't see much from it, but I suspect that'll change.

I saw the hit indicators in the top left. I could not tell from the particle effects what was a critical hit and what was a normal hit. I suspect that'll be addressed with a sound and particle art pass.

I'm not quite sure if you've had this thought, but as Beer pointed out the current punch power set you have leaves little to any dynamic gameplay (ie I'm a Ray Lewis toon and I run up and box people till they fall). I was wondering if you had considered Nu X-COM's cinematic camera for some finishing blows? Having the option to turn them on or off, of course.

Remember back in CoX I was a big proponent of bringing back wacky levels of KB to both the PvE and PvP parts of the game. For melee sets, as this demonstration shows, you may want to consider the advance/retreat side of melee momentum in a fight. A guy slowly pushing me back means I need to look for the opening in his pattern, where as if I'm pummeling a dude I'm expecting him to be dragging dirt by his heels.

Time of Day seems to be working alright, skybox is a bit bloomy, but that can be fixed. Don't see any lighted windows, or neon signs yet, again that'd be a future art pass. Locational lighting seems awesome though.

Are the various sectional bars in the health meant for 10s of HPs or are they more tell tales of possible tactics shifts?

Mini-map seems functional, god. Not sure what the yellow pips are. Do you have a plan for how enemy detection range is determined or is it a straight diameter?

That's about all I got for feedback right now in this context.

Happy new year from the Midwest. I moved here from the UK in 2008, perpetrating a sham marriage in a doomed attempt to get close to lowtax. Finally, with the announcement of the Concierge level SA account, I have a shot at gatecrashing a bad videogame YouTube recording session where I will talk about the thousands of viewings of Lauren's story about a chicken in Costco until Shmorky vomits.

Either that or I will go to Yosemite again, that poo poo is beautiful.

2016 is truly the year of dreams. May all yours come true <3
