 LawBreakers is the new team-based FPS from Arjan Brussee and Cliff Bleszinski's new studio: Boss Key Productions. It's a (very) fast-paced multiplayer shooter that mixes Unreal Tournament style modes with Overwatch style character abilities in a futuristic world where gravity has broken. Here are some videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bRK4BQkNmQ (Cinematic trailer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DceFfKIjvjI (Gameplay trailer) http://bit.ly/2uBgAtv (Class breakdowns) http://bit.ly/2ujLEP9 (Mode breakdowns) I didn't notice anyone talking about this game, which I'm not really surprised by, seeing as the publisher, Nexon, seems to have done very little marketing for this game. Thankfully, Boss Key did a really good job and has made a really great game with LawBreakers. It reminds me of the best parts of UT with some new Zero-G stuff thrown in. I've seen some people compare it to Overwatch, but it doesn't feel remotely like that game when you play. It's a much faster, more shooting focused game. It feels kinda like a mixture of Titanfall, Unreal Tournament and Overwatch. It's out now on Steam and Playstation 4 for the low price of £25/$30.

This took me about 3 games to grasp, but I'm having a lot of fun with it. Played all of the betas, and am excited to finally see it release. Gives me the same feeling of the old Unreal Days.

I don't like Ctrl as the button to propel through the air. It feels like it should be something easier to hit like right-click (or spacebar somehow) since it's so important for moving. I think I'll rebind it to Shift and use F or something for secondary ability. Fun so far. Reminds me of Dirty Bomb.

Is this actually good the very very short time I had on the old beta didn't feel great, and the art style is kinda freemium. Interested as I'm hoping we get another big UT/Q3 classic multiplayer shooter style game. Is it worth grabbing? Or wait for a sale? Was looking at fort nite but that looks a bit lame and minecrafty despite being epic so wasn't sure on that.

Hexenritter posted:Are there any persistent elements or stuff you need to play to unlock? Just cosmetics, loot crates on levels like Overwatch. Weapon and character skins. Nothing gameplay. You have access to all the characters immediately, and you can’t edit their loadouts. FWIW I’m finding it to be super fun so far. The speed is great, the mobility is great, and none of the character abilities feel oppressive yet. The biggest thing that feels off so far is the speed and art style make it kinda hard to tell who’s who in the middle of a fight sometimes. I’d agree that (outside of the crates) it feels more old-FPS than Overwatch. I think a big part of that is there’s not much in terms of characters having dedicated roles, they all feel just like different preferences for weapon types rather than “this is the defender guy. This is the attacker guy” since all the characters and weapons are pretty drat lethal. I’ve been mostly playing Enforcer, that rifle is fine and dandy at any range and holy poo poo that handgun up close is brutal.

This game is a lot of fun and all the characters are fun. However, I seem to be getting hit with a bug where the matchmaker gives the enemy team a dude that does twice or more kills as the next highest person and I'd prefer that he end up on my team sometimes. Really though, the only issues I've hit are like mentioned above, it can be hard to pick out who is who quickly, but I'm sure that'll change with experience. Another is the loot system, because it feels like the crates are filled with stickers you can barely see that crowd out the actually interesting drops.

This game has been on my radar for a while because it looks real fun. But the lack of players (3000 at peak), on launch day, is very concerning. I don't want to buy a multiplayer only game that will be a ghost town in a week.

Ironically it's holding me back too I get the feeling it'll be dead soon as good/bad as it maybe. Think it could have a bit more art flavour and interesting characters. It feels a little like a freemium game but isn't. Don't think they have the right publisher either?

Yeah, that's a totally valid worry, and I have it too even having bought the game. Won't be much fun to play if there's no one to play with. Just hope that doesn't end up being the case, I've been playing it basically all night/morning and having a blast.

I think it feels like a really well made multiplayer game that didn't bother spending development money on a superfluous single player campaign. It knows what it is, and it happens to perform its roll better than most shooters I've seen. Before I'd played it, I thought it looked fairly generic and bland, but actually playing it made me realise how well Boss Key understands shooter mechanics. Everything just feels really good, from the movement to the shooting.

The beta for this owned and I managed to clock in like 10 hours, however buying this is probably a bad idea since theres hardly any players and will probably go F2P soon

This game is great. It's been mentioned here, but all of the class-based shooters I've played it comes by far the closest to capturing that feeling I got from UT - fast and responsive movement, powerful and satisfying weapons, smooth input. I've had a ton of fun playing every class; the game seems really balanced (which may not last as people learn the game, but so far it's promising). I'd say the biggest issue is that many people interested in buying it are being so fatalistic; "Is this game DOA? Should I buy it?". If everyone asking these questions just bought and played it, you'd never go for want of players.

It's worth mentioning that Titanfall 2 has a pretty small player base on pc (around 2000-5000 a night) and I never have any problems queueing into games quickly. A lot of people are quick to pronounce games dead on arrival, but that ain't necessarily so, just because it isn't in the top 10 most played games on steam.

MOVIE MAJICK posted:The trailer made me think of Tribes. Does it scratch that itch a bit? You do get into a lot of fights in anti-grav zones where you are both flying through the air trying to hit eachother for a good 5 seconds, in that way the combat does have a Tribes feel.

I really hope this gets some attention. Reviews are good, game is really good and fun but playing with pubbies who desperately attempt to play Enforcer as a cover shooter is pretty terrible. I need a goon presence.

Night Blade posted:You'd probably like Vanguard, a character that has a forward propulsion jetpack. You can ski hop with her as well if you know what you're doing. Confirmed Vanguard is the best class. Like I was so confused at how to play until I played Vanguard. Ski around the map with a minigun? Can do. My favorite match was playing Vanguard on not-2fort intel. Right out of spawn fly forward into the anti grav then coast to the gravity well, hop at the right time and do a couple loops around their base firing like a maniac before boosting back out. E: Also the trailers for this game are great Shadowlz fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Aug 8, 2017 |

based on the beta this game is super cool. a bit too much hitscan but otherwise good and the movement/abilities feel a lot better than its competitors if you're interested in an FPS first and a Hero-based game second. unfortunately I'm broke as a joke so I can't buy it right now but hopefully later this month. and lol @ 3000 seeing unplayable. games with small communities are fine, you end up actually seeing the same people and that's cool. better than just fighting faceless randos every single match. lots of my favorite multiplayer games regularly have 500-1k players on at peak and it's still fine unless you're worried about getting stomped all the time (but that's the fastest way to improve anyway), and from the sounds of things there are plenty of awful people playing this.

Vanguard rules. You have to be hit and run because she doesn't have that much HP and the minigun shreds at closer ranges so you have to plan to just in and do some damage then jet away to recover.

Loved the hell out of this game in Beta (not even the last Beta, the one where Wraith was op as gently caress), and will probably be picking this up Friday when I get paid. Do we have a means of getting goons together for pub-stomping fun?

As someone who has been horribly addicted to pubg for the past however long it's been out, this game really scratches that forgotten UT-like itch. That as well as frequent Tribes flash backs I think I'll be stuck into this a fair bit. The movement and shooting just feels really natural somehow.

I plumped for this over Hellblade yesterday whilst waiting for the washing machine repair guy. Having a lot of fun. Still think the characters look kinda lame and don't like many of the gun art. Also not sure if I would have preferred loadouts/pickups to 'roles' but the pure moment to moment is great fun. Will probably get more out of this than hellblade which is a steam sale game to me, esp as I've never really enjoyed ninja theory that much?

gently caress I wanna play this but like... where should i play it. I assume PC or is goon presence on PS4 more noteworthy. Also didn't Nexon add the price tag or was it never gonna be F2P from the start.

I'm gonna pick this up and play it for the next month until Destiny 2 comes out, which is approximately how long the game will have a player base.

Man this game is full of satisfying maneuvers to do, like sticking someone with an exploding dagger and gunning them down as the dagger blows up.

Catching most of the enemy team standing in a healing station, just as your Gunslinger ult spins up, is a pretty amazing feeling. Hello instant triple kill!
