played the last beta event then since launch mate (on and off) about 600 odd Ego rating.

Watched the show, are the locations and npc's same as the show?

 

[Septian]

There are a few Episode missions that have Nolan and Irisa in them (about 5 I think) that appear to be before the TV Show, which do seem to tie in ok to the tv show. However the Game is based around San Fran area and the tv show is around St. Louis, so nowhere close
I've read that the first series is already set in stone, so hardly any crossover (which is a bit dumb) however the second series of the TV show, if it makes it along with the game, will tie in considerably more.

I watched the first TV episode and I liked it quite a bit tbh, The game is pretty fun, quite samey however, just think of it as a Rift Shooter and you won't really go wrong, it's still pretty fun blasting stuff and riding vehicles around.

I will be playing it on the Xbox if I get it will the consoles get much input into the story do you think?

 

[Septian]

I would hope that It will take from all the 3 platforms, I have no idea though mate
A few people have been saying its superior on the PC, however it does seem very much like a console port, chat interface and menu options are hideous on the PC, but apparently it plays better, also people say that they plug in controllers to drive on the PC, which i've not tried as I don't have one. But I can imagine it is loads better. Shooting is class with mouse/Keyb though, aim assist off headshots is easy due to mouse accuracy

 

[Kegs]

Yeah mouse and board is always better for fps imo, pity we can't all play together.

 

[Cathral]

Got it on the PC but been playing on the US servers mainly as got fed up of open mics with foreign labguages being shouted all the time (least I understand the americans )

If anyone else playing on Euro I will switch back

 

[Git]

pass.
