I completely agree with you.
The gameplay is fun, graphics are pretty solid, and everything around this is varying degrees of meh to bad. I played on launch weekend so surely they've fixed some issues, but my biggest gripe was how many long load screens you'd have to go through before getting into a mission. I also found the loot to be mostly lame. For $20 though it's worth picking up IMO. There is a good game here with Anthem, just needs more time in the oven.
I think it was a pricing mistake. They had it on sale for $40 (like most retailers do right now) and the 50% off code stacked with it. They then raised the price back to $60 when they figured it out.
Glad I ordered right away then. $30 isn't a bad price, but with everything out now and coming out within the next week (MK11 and Days Gone) I would have been less likely to spend the $30.
The original Homefront dropped to like $34 on release day at amazon from $60 and lasted several days. They had a lot of pissed off customers they were doing refunds on too
Maybe not $20 that soon, but surely it'll be $40-$30 by August. Sony's first-party games seem to get cheap pretty quickly.
It is a terrible game, with a great concept. They just made so many mistakes in designing it, it's truly not redeemable at this point when considering how the game was supposed to be. I logged maybe 30 hours into the game before selling it and they were just meh hours at best. Lately I got on the Divinity 2 train when it was $30 at BB ($24 for me) and have already sunk double that into it having a blast playing with the GF.
Which version? I still can't find the PS4 version sold by newegg.
Well I'm glad I didn't get one after reading this. I have better things to be playing.
If you like destiny you might like this. But I was bored as its essentially the same thing as destiny in many ways from what I can tell. Story is thin, characters aren't very interesting, etc. I just found it very uninspired and uninteresting.
