Man it's such a shame. I was looking forward to trying it, but I'm not going to create a psn acc for it

The game is very repetitive, anyway. I was bored after about 20 hours. By then you've already seen everything there is to see.

Every game is repetitive, it comes down to whether the repetition is entertaining. It wasn't for you but for a lot of people it is. It is trending downward according to Steam stats but it still has around 60-70k concurrent players during the low points and in terms of hours played it's be in the top 10 games.

Personally while the overall mission structure is "repetitive" I think the randomization of mission parameters, how the mission play out and the spectacle make it very fun. I would still be playing if not for the Sony shit. It's a great game to peace out with friends.

Agreed. Fun with other people. Boring as fuck solo.

More stuff is coming / is already out. It's actually a really well done implementation of a live service game which I never thought I'd say about anything. That does mean it has a shelf life though and the live service won't last forever, which is a bummer. I'm curious what they'll do with it once they're finished actively managing the war story. Maybe hand it over to an AI in 2-3 years.

Hmm well I played on and off for about a month and didn't notice anything new.

Do you know if they plan on adding some new game modes? I'm already sick and tired of the whole "shoot bugs, rescue hostages/blow up objective, shoot more bugs then extract" thing. I get that a lot of shooters have a tendency to only have 2-3 game modes max, but those games at least have PvP to keep things interesting.

Not sure. I do know new creatures are planned and coming, and player vehicles are planned. I haven't played in a couple weeks though so I'm not sure what all is out and what's still cooking.
