I'm just doing what I'm best at... whining.

I played the PC beta a bit today and gotta say its impressive. From what I have seen of the console version, it does appear more Polished on the console (it is not that it looks better persay, just seems like it is better prepared).

Definitely not my type of game though, but there is a good possibility I will buy it on the PC anyway.

I find it funny with the PS4 fans claiming that they will get it on PC instead of X1, yet had it come out on PS4, they would get it for that console, although PC still would have blown it out of the water, graphics wise :).

No.  I would still have probably gotten it for PC.  I got BF4 for PC.

How are you liking the Beta?

Don't care about it because its a FPS but I hope it does well since overall the X1 is a pretty good console.

186 people reckon it looks like COD with mechs.

So there are at least 186 people in this thread that haven't played the Beta!

This▲. I have played about 6 hours of the game on PC and I found it mildly fun. I usually reserve playing FPSs on PC since I prefer M+K/B in FPS games. I do not own an XB1 or a 360 (sold my 360 a few years ago) and I own a PS4. My complaints about the game have ZERO to do with the platform(s) it is available on. Even if it was on PS4 I wouldn't buy the game.

The game is CoD combat training with mechs, jet packs and parkour. That's not a knock against the whole game as I enjoy CoD (though I didn't get CoD Ghosts) and I enjoy the mech and asymetrical aspect of the games infantry combat. My complaints are the brain dead AI, the ugly texture work, and the very low player count.

I have read all the endorsements defending these "shortcomings" and I just don't agree with them and keeping those things in mind while I played the Beta didn't take away the cheap feeling I got while I was murdering bots to get my Titan every match. I know the game is supposed to be accessible for newer players as well as superior players but after getting to level 14 I just felt like any of the accolades, challenges, unlocks I earned were meaningless. It feels like they could have found a way to work in more human players while limiting the number of Titans on screen (even though I know they want everyone to have access to a mech) to accomodate for more playing styles and to avoid having to use AI enemies. Heck, if they could have at least made the AI better it would have gone a long ways to making the game more satisfying.

I understand why some people like the game its not a "bad" game game but the hype I personally believe is way outstripping the actual quality and fun of the game. The game is in no way revolutionary or a game changer in terms of the genre. It's a solid FPS with interesting mechanics (none of them are new by any stretch of the imagination) that are limited by the visionary contraints of the creators. Maybe when they figure out how to work in more players (which I don't see why they couldn't on PC at least) and/or better the AI in TF2 I might be willing to plunk $60 but as of right now I am skipping it and I'll keep playing the FPS games I already have.

It looks good. I will admit I would have bought it if it was on PS4 for $50~60.  It's not enough to convince me to drop $600 on a XB1 + XBL + the game though. I will get it on PC or skip out and play something else for a while.

Why?  It's not just about PC beating the graphics, it's about not wanting to plonk more money getting an X1.

If you have a gaming PC and a PS4, it's pretty normal to say you won't drop $500 on an X1 + extra for XBL Gold so you can play this game.

I want more reasons to get an X1 than this, like a really awesome Halo and Gears, and lower price would be nice.  I'm certainly never going to buy any multiplat game for X1 as long as the PS4 version is better.
