surprised to say this actually doesn't look fun to me [like, at all].

i'll reserve judgment until i'm playing it for real on my PC, but doesn't look good to me.

[Final Spark]

I'll give it a shot for sure, looks interesting.

 

[Starbuck2907]

I have played this game. It is good. I like it better than Overwatch.

I have sold old keys for the pc beta that still might work... I am supposed to share them...

 

[PnCIa]

Looks interesting. Quake Champions made my interest in arena shooter spark again...i may pick this up.

 

[alt27]

bit old for twitch shooters now. I would get destroyed, lol

 

[ozz ex machina]

I was in the early alpha of this game and wow. I've been involved in early tests before but this game has to have had the biggest turnaround I've ever seen.

It's the only time I actually felt like the feedback myself and others gave actually was listened to. The game was utter crap back then but the last few waves of the beta was so much fun. Will definitely be getting day 1.

 

[Senteevs]

Correct me if I'm wrong (no doubt you will), but wasn't it going to be free to play?

 

[SlickShoes]

I don't personally have a problem with spending $60 on a multiplayer-only game, but there's definitely been a trend lately of multiplayer-only games with shockingly sparse content (Rainbow Six, Star Wars Battlefront, Overwatch) so I feel the criticism isn't exactly unfair.

That said I'm not sure charging for a game like this makes much sense at all, unfortunately. As bad as most free-to-play models are, there doesn't seem to be a lot of viability for smaller paid-only multiplayer games like Lawbreakers. Network effects can be a real bitch.

How does Siege have shockingly sparse content?

Battlefront is probably the only one of the three you could level that at because it had boat loads of paid DLC.

Originally it was IIRC, but with Nexon publishing it, it might be a good thing that it isn't.

 

[Renegade Frost]

Because I guess gamers here will act like single player games have more value than multiplayer ones. Not true, but whatever.

I can always play a single player game, not true with multiplayer.

Drawn to death was kinda bad, I hope this is good

 

[deadlast]

looks Unreal

I see what you did there.

I think I may have missed the reason why Cliffy B. skipped on the Xbox for this. Is he actually against the platform?

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Pretty lame dig by Cliff. Multiplayer only games have every right to be worth $60 as much as single player games, especially this generation.

No they don't, they should be f2p (including this one).

 

[KatamariOnTheRocks]

Battleborn has a full campaign

I'm in day 1 for LB, played a ton of the beta and really enjoyed my time with it

Stay classy, Cliff.

Did he say this?

 

[Hupsel]

Cliff was amazing during the conference. He was totally honest, even said that the game wouldn't be balanced at launch (like it usually happens with multiplayer games). Thumbs up. Ill probably buy it.

 

[KillerMan91]

In Geoff interview he said that with so small team they wanted to concentrate only on two platforms and PS4 made more sense than Xbox because it has way bigger userbase, They might look at Xbox version if the game is successful.

 

[Rhoc]

Good price will probably check it out on release.

 

[GET2DAACHOPPAAAA]

Getting Blink vibes from that trailer

That would be cool, otherwise I hope it will run on my laptop with the lowest settings enabled lol

Thanks for the info, by the way.

 

[Spartancarver]

$30 is an easy buy. Looks fun AF and I need a good multiplayer shooter to keep me occupied til Battlefront 2 drops.

In if it's as good as it looks in these trailers.

 

[Simply Sami]

When it was at PAX they were saying PC only. Sony must have thrown them a bone for console exclusivity.

Nah.

Cliffy said he has a small team and they could only work on the one console. It made sense to go for PS4 with the bigger user base. He didn't rule out a future Xbox release.

 

[brokenbeans]

It's not worth 60 so we will sell for half price and say it's a great deal.

 

[Carl-Sagan]

Interested to see how many people decide on picking this game up. Competitively it looks fun but I think it'll struggle.

 

[Cnoodles]

Ha ha No, no they don't deserve to be full priced if they are Multiplayer only

Would you like to explain? Overwatch is easily one of the best FPS this gen and my most played game and is completely worth full price.

 

[CommandThrower]

I'm in on day one, and the skins you get on the $40 deluxe edition(and for pre-ordering normally) are off the chain.


I've really enjoyed my time with LawBreakers, the game has changed a lot since the Alpha, and it's currently my favorite hero shooter out of the available hero shooters.

 

[Bornstellar]

Looks a lot like Titanfall.

Thanks for posting.

Sounds like a good amount of changes/fixes.

 

[Parmadillo Marshmallow]

Does the game have unlocks, progression, and class customization, or is it more like Overwatch with fixed characters/loadouts? I don't care about cosmetic customization, I'm referring to gameplay loadouts.

 

[Forsaken82]

It's more about nobody in their right mind would ask $60 for Lawbreakers so it's a pretty lame dig by him.

I bet you thought the same thing when Overwatch was announced as a 60 dollar retail product as well.
