WCSRELEASE DATE: FEBRUARY 22, 2019
It's a Bioware title so I would have to imagine there would be a heavy emphasis on story and characters.

I mean even the footage we've gotten is a weird take on destiny game play. I mean if they went super modular with the different mech suits making the branching class trees appear with different looking mechs I would be interested. But I just have no faith in the game being anything but a game that I never play and never want to. | ||

I haven't heard anything about the business model, but its EA so its plausible it'll be terrible. However, your point about that jerk was disavowed by the Casey Hudson: I have hopes for this game, hell I think it would be super easy to beat Destiny 2's class design since there's not very well defined equipment and theres only a few abilities/choices. Not to mention they could just have more classes than Destiny. | ||

Destiny seems like its trying its best to make an emphisis on the guns as well as the classes themselves. Which is a good way to spread out the depth I think. I really don't care for an fps MMO like that but its cool I guess. | ||

So I'll look forward to it but maybe not get it since I don't feel like playing a shooter again. Enjoying Pillars of Eternity combat more than any recent shooter I've played and it doesn't even have great combat. | ||

With that said, I do hope it will be a good game! Looking forward to seeing what they have to show at E3. | ||

In addition to their locked-in melee attacks, defensive maneuvers, and ultimate attacks, each suit can equip two weapons, along with two pieces of gear – a category that includes a wide variety of tools like explosives, energy blasts, and more. However, you can’t just mix-and-match, since the javelins have access to different arsenals that accentuate their natural abilities. For example, the ranger can use cryo grenades, but only the colossus has the power to wield heavy machine guns. You also have a variety of options within each javelin type, allowing you to alter your loadout to specialize in certain weapons or tactics depending on the task at hand. During our hands-on time, we played a ranger with a cryo grenade modified to send out additional shockwaves from enemies who are killed while frozen. We also played a colossus with a flamethrower, while another colossus in the group used a mortar. Full EA Play presentation: | ||

But none of those games let me be Iron Man. And I have wanted a good Iron man simulator for a long time. From what the folks at Waypoint and Giant Bomb were saying, the game has some real slick, tight controls for the flight that make it feel awesome, but also like you could fall out of the air if you got hit hard enough. And the weapons have a real good feel to them, that something awesome is always off cool down and ready to combo. | ||
