I hope to provide a comment or 2 on the game, as I see it from my 48 hrs of play and my Lvl 25 Hunter. (On PS4)
I have to admit, I was, and still am, excited about the game when I first heard about it, and made my pre-order, as well as Vanguard pack, as well as the expansions.....
I was definately not disappointed, and we all know that the Artwork and the Soundtrack are absolutely incredible. Congrats to you guys for making some thing that someone who started with Pong, Intellivision and Super Mario look at in awe each time I play.
Never been a "hardcore" gamer, as I just do not have the time nor inclination really. I have alot of other things to do in my life (2 kids, wife, travel, etc) but I do feel that I speak from a vantage point of someone who is just above casual gamer, and below "hardcore, professional."
Here are a few of my Pros, Cons, and Suggestions for you:
[u]Pros[/u]:
- Like I said, graphics, music unbelieveable.
- Like the control setup. Easy to use, and get used to
- Appreciate the upgrade system, with using materials etc to upgrade, instead of just plain XP for everything
- Companion app is neat to play with.
- From my limited time playing PvP, it wasnt bad, like that there are different maps, but that side of the game isnt my cup of tea, really.
[u]Areas for improvement[/u]
- [u]Farming/Materials system:[/u] I dont mind a little grinding to get stuff, but when it takes up all of my valuable playing time to just get materials that I do not get while playing other aspects of the game, it makes it difficult for me to stay connected to the game and feels like more of a waste than actual accomplishment.....
-[u] Engrams/Rewards:[/u] There has been more than enough vitriol spat by people from all ages and groups about this. I think it needs improvements as well. Especially when doing tough strikes (Havent done raid yet). I have spent 30-40 miutes on a strike before, and do not feel the rewards match the difficulties of the strikes (and I can imagine the raids too)
- [u]Storyline:[/u] I wished there was more backstory and development in this first installment. It makes me sad to see such little explanation (and the naming of enemies etc leaves something to be desired).
- Enemies: I wish there was more variety. Bosses are just repeated models of other characters, it seems. Would like to see larger variety and even more (better named) enemies per race, and more races.
- [u]More Maps!![/u] - I know that there are more coming (hopefully) so thats all there is to say about that
[u]Suggestions (if you have made it this far)[/u]
- Do not change the music, please! One of the best soundtracks ever.
- If you add more Dinkledge content, please find a better VO director. I feel that he is an excellent actor, but needs better direction for what he is doing. I feel that with better director, he would be far more effective as the VO role.
- Add a female Ghost voice (if you are a female character, it makes sense right?)
- Would love to see some kind of spin in the story, where things are not as they seem and that the traveler is not all sugar and spice. I also saw, and liked a suggestion, of being able to transfer to fight for the darkness....maybe a somekind of good/bad actions that push you one way or the other (consequences are a b****)
- More, different Bounties. I am getting bored of the same old runs again and again and again and again.....
- Same with Patrols.......maybe offer up longer patrol tasks? Collect, drop off items, escort/courier something to someone at the other end of the map.....ya know spice it up (but reward approprately!!!!!)
- In game chat with those not in fireteam, as a selecable option for those that want to. Hell I get enough of listening to my kids at home, I dont need some 12 yo telling me how bad I am (thanks, I already know :) )
- Allow more people per clan. Unlimited. Would love to be a part of DoD and have it show, cause I am proud to be a dad (and happy to find time to play!)
- More customizations - Make your own custom shaders for items, armor, ships.
- More vehicles, guns of vehicles, variety of vehicles, and not just paintjobs.....
- I have more that I would love to share but have spent too much time on this already....
Congrats to the Dev Team, as the game looks and feels amazing. Keep hotpatches and additions coming, as it should be a work in progress cause nothing is ever perfect. Listen to everyone, and not just the ones who scream loudest. Maybe in game polling somehow?
I have bought all the expansions so expect there to be some good stuff coming our way, thanks for that. I am really looking forward to exploring the worlds more!
