When I launched the game the RE ENGINE logo appeared and i got a little excited. I did not expect that to be the highlight of my time with the game.

Ouch

 

[WX3]

The part about needing to win the matches to progress the story really turned me off! I could only imagine the frustration I could cause if someone is really into this shit.

 

[BbMajor7th]

The concept has zero appeal for me - the general lack of enthusiasm suggests I ain't alone.

 

[SmokedMeat]

It's a full price multiplayer game.

 

[M.W.]

It's on Game Pass. It's decent, dumb fun.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

you just did my friend

mixed game Game pass

 

[Codes 208]

I generally dont dicuss games i dont give a shit about.

And before someone points out the irony, im here because someone asked.

 

[DryvBy]

Because it looks, and always has looked, kinda "meh"? So "meh" indeed that I didn't even know it's out...

It's on GP so yeah.

 

[FoxMcChief]

It doesn't look like something I would enjoy.

If you haven't purchased this game on every platform available to you then you've failed Capgod's Dino Crisis test.

 

[brian0057]

Why should we?

 

[Gambit2483]

If you haven't purchased this game on every platform available to you then you've failed Capgod's Dino Crisis test.

But, It's a Gamepass game....Capcom never had any faith in it to begin with.

 

[DavidGzz]

People talking shit over one miss in a long time from Capgods. Sacrilege. Anyway, this looks bad, like a less fun Earth Defense Force.

 

[bender]

You can purchase Game Pass games. No excuses. No more begging for a Dino Crisis revival if you don't buy this game, all of the season passes and all of the in-game items.

 

[nial]

le saviors of the industry

 

[Pejo]

I think it looks fun but I won't pay the current asking price for it and I'm not a member of gamepass, so I'll just wait.

 

[Thief1987]

But Capgods though. What happened to that. I thought Capcom was untouchable.

The only thing they are untouchable is re-releasing old shit for twenty fifth time.

"Purchase Gamepass games"..??

I hear the words but you're not making sense.

 

[Griffon]

When a multiplayer game isn't good enough to even salvage into a F2P model, you know it's deader than dead.

Capcom will grab the little sales they can get on release, and promptly forget it ever existed.

This will probably be dead by the end of august imo

 

[Gamerguy84]

No one likes Tbag games

 

[genesisblock]

This is a AAA game?

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Because its absolute average crap on the same level of Redfall.

 

[Bridges]

Because its absolute average crap on the same level of Redfall.

Insane take.

Game is fun, good performance and so far have not encountered a single bug.

You may not like it but this is not Redfall. This game actually functions as it was intended.

 

[Shits_McGiggles]

It's a shame because cool exosuits are one of my weaknesses along with mechs. Live Service games bore me and the game being $60 and then having to buy battle passes that expire and effectively cut me out of content that I purchased because I didn't want to make playing the game into a second job makes the game an automatic "no buy."

Additionally, the fact that they used drag queens to advertise their game was a huge red flag and I refuse to even touch the game because of it.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

You may not like it but this is bit Redfall. This game actually functions as it was intended.

We got 5 review codes so the whole team of editors played together. Game is trash sorry. 4/10 at best and you will see it soon in all reviews. Its about time we stop accepting mediocrity for $70 and hold these developers reponsible for releasing half cooked products with barebones things to do. When you pay AAA price, you expect some sort of quality behind it. Ye it can be fun...not $70 fun nor will it have any longevity. Trust me, this will be forgotten about in 2 months and lobbys will be empty in no time.

 

[EruditeHobo]

After Street Fighter 6, it seems Capcom can do no wrong. So why is there no hype surrounding Exoprimal? The game has just released today and yet no one has really talking about it. The steam reviews are pretty low for a game released by AAA studio. The reviews on steam aren't that great as well.

You literally answered your own question.

 

[twinspectre]

Because it isn't Dino Crisis.

 

[adamsapple]

I thought we were already talking about it in the other threads ... I guess there's no OT ?

 

[Raven77]

I find it funny that you start your post wondering why on earth nobody is taking about the game, then go on to talk about how bad the reviews are...

I think you kind of answered your question, no?

 

[Josemayuste]

Meh.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Because it isn't Dino Crisis.

Yea, I would have paid $70 for a Dino Crisis this month. Instead I'm just ignoring another multiplayer game that gets none of my money. No offense if other people are enjoying it, that's great.

 

[Rykan]

Oh, let's see: Multiplayer FPS made by a developer that has a track record of developing terrible multiplayer shooters, launched at full price so that it can compete with countless free multiplayer shooters from developers far more experienced and successful than they are.

Who would have expected this?

 

[lh032]

its on gamepass.
Thats an indication of a shitty game

 

[LRKD]

I'm a whore for dino games, but it gave major Anthem vibes. GAAS that will die within a few months, not worth more than a few bucks. Done with online only games for the most part, its too annoying getting invested in something that will someday go offline completely, or even just compactly change to the devs wishes over time. Look at overwatch 2 changed everything to be inferior, and removed access to the original.

 

[Zannegan]

I like the absurd premise, like EDF with a budget, but the GaaS trappings have me sitting on the sidelines. That and I'm at a stage of life where I have to be more selective with my gaming time. It looks fun, but there are other games I'd want to check out first.

 

[digital_ghost]

The only thing they are untouchable is re-releasing old shit for twenty fifth time.

Your right man there's no difference between this.

And this:

You're free to your opinion. I am having a good time with it and I just think the Redfall comparison is a bit ridiculous. I completely agree that it's not worth $70 (It's actually only $60 but not worth that either) and I also agree that it probably will not survive very long. But it is still a much more competent and complete game than Redfall.

It kind of reminds me of something Capcom would've released in the 360 days like Lost Planet 2.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

All there is to say about ExoPrimal:

 

[LavitzSlambert]

It just doesn't look like it would be anything fun. Very generic design and yet another GaaS grind fest focused on PvP for content. It's not something anyone was asking for, and it isn't unique enough to make people interested. Not at all surprised that nobody is playing or discussing the game itself.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

I wanted to play it.

But they asked me to make Capcom id. I turned around then and there.

This. LOL. Literally stopped right there too.

 

[March Climber]

It's a fun, low pressure (so far) multiplayer arcade shooter. Kind of feels like a modern old-school arcade game.

GOTY? No, but I'm willing to bet most people will shit on it without ever playing it.

After playing the final product for a bit, the bolded is a perfect description of what the game mostly is and what's happening here.

Also, there are some here giving misinformation. I'll clarify:

-You can gain more story bits(chips) even when losing.

-You have to go to the database and click on the lore chips to help push story progression along further. The goal is get to the center of the database map(escape plan). The lore chips are fully voiced as conversations between the main characters.

-There is literally an option to queue for PvE only right when selecting 'Dino Survival' (it unlocks after beating the very first tutorial mission) and you won't ever have play cart mode(where you have to fight each other to win at the end) if you don't want to ever again. The PvE mode does have you fight an enemy dino for a little bit(maybe 30-60 seconds?) at the very end, but otherwise it's a completely separated race between 2 teams. Also, raids where both teams combine are part of the PvE queue.

-Even if you are losing a PvE match and the other team finishes first, if you manage to finish within the time frame presented, they will still award you with a victory. It literally happened to me 5 minutes ago. Both teams won and both were awarded winner XP. You will get better XP based on good performance. If you're doing your job as a healer, tank, or dps, then you'll be rewarded with good XP.

-You only unlock additional skins, stickers, and icons through the battle pass. New character unlocks are on the free level system.

I'm not going to bother defending this game as it has it's apparent faults(and people make up their minds rather fast on this forum), but I will make corrections if needed just so that things are made clear and that misinformation isn't being spread.

There's no need to shit on a game using lies. Shit on it with truths instead.

 

[MacReady13]

Hmmmmm, I wonder why Capcom decided to release this particular game day 1 on game pass yet not quality games like Resident Evil 4.......???

 

[MacReady13]

GOTY? No, but I'm willing to bet most people will shit on it without ever playing it.

I'll give it a go when it goes on sale real cheap (which going by impressions and therefore you'd assume, low sales numbers) will be very soon.

 

[StueyDuck]

Because it's neither great nor terrible... it just exists.

And will probably be forgotten within a couple of months

 

[Freeman76]

In this day and age u gotta do better than this. Its generic shite we've all played a million times before, and just another excuse to sell a battle pass.

 

[Varteras]

When a major third-party company releases a game Day 1 on a sub service, it's almost certainly because they had no faith in it actually selling. There was incredibly little marketing for it. What was shown of it made it fairly clear that this was Capcom throwing shit at the wall. No one is talking about it because there were too many signs of it being mediocre at best. The best chance this game has is being surprisingly good and managing to get people and publications talking about it later.
