3. I don't know how five years of development for a brand new IP is a cash grab. Making a game based on a movie and shoveling it out for $60, that's a cash grab. Every game a studio makes funds the next game lol.

4. If you're not sure then that's the problem as this game did exactly what they said the entire they were developing it and after it launched. A looter shooter with co-op that is not a live service. Now while the co-op was kind of a miss because of the p2p system instead of dedicated servers the rest of the game was as advertised. You can talk about balance issues or a vision about how to achieve certain goals not aligning with the players but that's not anything indicative of a cash grab.

   I think the problem lies with gamers specifically being told one thing but expecting something else. For instance I was watching one content creator's video and in it they said because these devs are taking the time to patch and bug fix this game after launch, it's a live service because of the work they put into post launch that makes it live service. If you're dealing with people like that because live service is their expectation so they twist things to make that a reality, you can't really satisfy that person nor are their views on the game valid.

   From my view the only failing of this game is that it wasn't a live service, the way it was designed, the type of game it is live service is kind of what you need to keep people engaged. Barring that you definitely need a pre-planned path to expansion content as any game that relies on repeat, short period grinding really needs fresh content. Not saying they have to crank it out forever or every month but maybe had a plan for two expansions in the first year after release before they move on.

6. I think maybe the reason behind all the mistakes they have done and that they are doing is that the working enviroment at the dev studio might not be the best. But I still feel like the game was made with much effort and love. But some stuff in the game is badly done in my opinion: Not sure if they have used motion capture for the characters ( movement looks weird), Story is mostly told via diary entries ( not included in dialogue enough), Voice acting does not always fit to the emotional state of a character and at some point there are simple errrors with missions or gates/branches you have to pass. Overall I think I have never seen a game being developed so weird. And I think in terms of graphics the game is not optimized at all. What I mean is for example the disgusting blur caused by automatic redolution scaling ( maybe to hide unfinished graphic designs) or the strange camera shaking.
   Definitely a fun game to play but I am most unsure about its future.

9. If PCF give this game a offline feature, where we can PLAY THIS GAME ANYTIME WE WANT TO, I would probably come back and bring my friends with me, because WE can play offline whenever……I HOPE THIS IS NOT A CASH COW, and if so??? SHAME ON PCF AND SQUARE ENIX!!!!

11. The game is still broken af, devs are clueless, patches are always releasing more bugs than they claim to fix, they claim to listen to majority of community opinion to their questions but they will only listen to the minority of morons who want the game to be a nerf fest, they can't balance anything, their out of their depth, pcf have sullied their reputation and it has damaged any future games. People paid for a game and got a continual beta

    Only brain dead zombies will defend these tools.
