So the overall sentiment seems to be that we've gone from DOA, garbage/trash to "it's ok" in the 2.5 hours since the beta dropped?

What? This plays as slow as Halo and Destiny. As a 50 year old gezzer even I have time to react, make a cup of tea, watch corrie, then shoot back.
Edit: If thats a good or a bad thing is obviously subjective.

I dunno. I don't think i'll wait for it to hit gamepass tho

Don't confuse me anymore. I just had to recover my PS account, make a passcode, find out i dont have any cheevo's, just to play on my MS surface.

Yes but that won't change by release when most of the game is already available.

Are yall playing the respawn modes or the single life modes?

It's more like Overwatch with the way TTK works. Halo and Destiny aren't hero shooters.

I’m terrible at this game. Played 2 rounds getting zero kills and my team got pummeled both times.

I think only respawn modes are in, or they all I encountered within 1hr 20

You're free to have your own opinion and dislike it
But I don't think anyone can deny the quality. Is absolutely is top-class tier mechanics, even if you don't prefer that style of game.

Explain what a hero shooter is and how certain heroes have more armor and thus higher TTK?

The game doesn't have any glaring issues that I can see. Some balance to improve the damage of certain characters is probably needed, but that's an easy fix with enough feedback. A big question will be progression. How much does it have and are the rewards neat? The other question will be the pace of post-launch content. How often will new characters, new maps, and new modes be introduced? I don't think this game needs to be some wild success like Helldivers was.

Single life modes unlock at lvl 6.

That's what I have been trying to say for a while now.
The quality seemed to be there if you looked past the Wokeness for a sec.
Not saying it's going to be a guaranteed success (I'm 50/50 on it so far), but the gunplay is excellent and the game is really polished with clean af graphics and smooth animations.

Having an okay beta after having a really bad reveal is something to wave about? Its basically the whole game already available.
It also got really laggy for me. So much for the its really polished already.

It only has half the game modes, a fraction of the maps, and progression is capped at level 14. I'll be at 14 in another hour.

Absolutely.
Although Until we get say a month or so with the full game it will be hard to form a proper opinion. games like this live and die on maps and balance and personally i cant judge that in one night. but as a first impression, i do not have a hard on.
IMO I Think at best this will do just ok.

An ok beta after having to open it to everyone because its obvious the preorders were painfully low

Haven’t had a single blip of noticeable lag so far, maybe I just got lucky but it certainly feels far above average as far as netcode goes. So yeah, pretty fucking polished, especially for a beta.

The guy probably just has shit internet that he uses as an excuse to shit on the game.

Ok i'll play.
Hero shooters have different TTK's, however in this game the base TTK seems to be quite high. The base TTK seems to be around a high resilience build in Destiny or the TTK of Halo. That might float your boat but it feels dated. To me.
Regardless of being a Hero shooter or not the TTK is high and the movement is slow. Fuck the dodges and jumps/triple jumps are lifted straight out of Destiny, wildly regarded and bottom of the barrel Bungie PVP. Hamrick and his pals got fired for how bad and unbalanced it was.

Both
I wish the objective games weren't based on single life, though. I'm just impatient and hate waiting

I know there is faster internet connection around. It seems like a gigabit connection isnt enough for this gem. Its a pitty.

Bungie PvP is NOT bottom of the barrel. Destiny is more PvE focused, so the balance is a factor in PvP, but the mechanics are absolutely sick in Destiny PvP.
Concord is definitely more balanced, but at the same time the game really does require a lot of teamwork, moreso than many other shooters.

I have gigabit connection and been playing on PS Portal with absolutely zero lag.

I respect your opinion. But Destiny PVP is a unbalanced fucking joke.
Coming from the masters(at the time), neigh the architects of console PVP in Halo, im sorry its pump. Biggest disappointment in gaming was playing Destiny 1 pvp coming from Halo.
James Sawyer Ford

Yes, the balancing, due to how customizable that game is
But Concord is not like that. It's far more balanced, but has the mechanics that make Destiny a great shooter

Says you after what 4 hours of play? Impossible. Shagging my wife seemed balanced after 4 hours.
I'll reserve judgement until ive had a proper crack.

I tried, it feels nothing like I want it to. It feels like an Arkane game...floaty, non tight controls. It's also pretty boring but maybe I'll give it a go tonight with some buds and see if playing together makes it worthwhile.

Feel like I've seen this posted a good bit. Isn't this NOT open to the public and a closed alpha/beta? I just looked on PSN and I don't see it for download anywhere, except for preordering.
Not saying the game didn't completely bomb with preorders or won't when it launches but Sony seems to be going with what was announced when this game was first shown off, at least if what I remember.
Edit: Nevermind, I was completely wrong. Just happens to be on the PS+ page and not on the PS store page, which is umm weird?
