Don't worry anon, I like DMZ too. These two however are so far apart, especially map size and freedom of mobility.

I love the art design and aesthetic. Menu design is amazing. That's the best thing about the game right now. The biggest issue is the audience Bungie is trying to cater to. As it is now, this game will only interest a niche audience.

I associate their design with 2005-2006 deviant art wallpapers. It's super derivative and in essence no different from putting on a t-shirt with someone else's design.
It looks cool, I like it, but it doesn't register as their own creation, at all. Art is derivative and most FPS games look like copies of each other so I don't even mind that aspect. It is "their own style" if you ignore stuff like NeoTokyo and Synthetik. What I do find annoying is comments trying to elevate it as original or mindful.

The playtest was fucking dogshit.
The player is way too squishy with way too low TTK to face multiple aggressive enemies that are heavy bullet sponges and are ready to pick on the corpses of whoever is left after PVP fights.
Not all runners can stealth and even then it's just not fun to crouch walk around with a knife.
On top of that they nerfed the speed of healing and using stuff, which makes zero sense because the ttk is so fast.
The game is truly outstandingly bad

You don't understand how modern games are made. It's impossible to make a game with the kind of graphics that force a 4090 to run at 30fps and turn a profit without mainstream appeal, and that means appealing to the lowest common denominator.

the maps are just straight BR maps and down follow the usual extraction shooter layout
gameplay is also mostly like a BR
but its an extraction shooter but looting has the least thought put into
they 100% wanted to make an apex legends competitor and changed course later on because people got tired of BRs

The TTK is fucking stupid
You get caught by a camping retard, you lose instantly
In Tarkov you don't stand out like a clown and are not hunted down while escaping by mobs at least
I'm not buying this garbage, I hope it flops

There's an episode of Hoarders where this lady shits in buckets and prepares disgusting food in the same filthy room, and the whole episode she keeps acting like she's surprised to hear her food is contaminated with shit particles, until the very end of the episode where they're going to demolish the house or something and she just drops all the pretense and says she loves the thrill of eating contaminated food and is sad to see it all go. I feel like shilling a game this obviously dead in the water is just a love of wasting money at this point, just purely an expression of mental illness.

The aesthetics wasnt the issue. The gameplay showed basic bitch gunplay and there is high risk of Fortnighting the game with all the main character vibes it has.
Also deus ex guy's VA isn't that good, he's a one trick pony and I only ever hear Jensen when he speaks.
