So you can be offline and still play the game?

I guess you are pickier than me. That is fair enough. It also does not address the multiplayer issue, I am sure it gets laggy when you have more shit going on. Just a vid that people can watch and get an idea. Better than just hearing people talk about what it looks like.
I mean that's cool and all if you can. Nothing wrong with that. This thread is just a summary of reviews, you do with the information what you like
Yes, but it is a bit cumbersome. I mean, if you want your progress to be saved everybody has to login to their PSN
PS4 France : 6,5/10

Fun... but Friendly Fire interferes with your enjoyment.

Read the Q&A here ^
From that article though
"Is there a single player offline mode?
You can play the game offline with 1-4 local players. However when played offline, mission progress will not contribute to the global galactic campaign."
I wish you could at least unlock a friendly fire toggle though. Maybe after playing through it once, or only in offline mode or something. May be more fun with friendly fire on, but options are always a better idea imo.

I'm surprised they didn't ask for a surrender option. Filthy casuals.

To be fair, I am still on the fence for sure. If the framerate (which can be really hard to sus out from YouTube) drops a ton with 2-4 people I am not sure it would be worth it as a Vita only purchase. Especially with HM2 right around the corner.
*note:I beat Borderlands 2 on vita twice. My opinion may be null all together

lol.... Friendlyfire is part of the game -_-
Sold.
Have you try it ? If we believe the reviewer, Friendlyfire is a good thing when you can deactivate/activate it depending other players.
I also hope for a patch of some kind if the multiplayer is bad.

No. Didn't get a review copy. But two of my friends did.
And I agree with you. Depends on the players. If you got some assholes in your team, you're screwed (as always) -_-
Yep! I love that, too
This is the most French review ever.

The game is not even out yet and people are leaving troll reviews on the user scores on Metacritic.
Other negatives noted in the review:
-excessively repetitive
-useless single-player
-expensive game

Friendly fire will be an issue with griefers.
If I end up getting this, i'll be playing Matchmaking with strangers...in which there will undoubtedly be griefing. When designing an MP centric game, always expect the worst from people.

Wasn't on my radar at all but this looks like crazy fun. What a perfect game for me and my Destiny friends to move on to now that we lost all motivation to play until the next expansion. We need more co-op fun.
Oh snap, just realized my PS3 only friend can join in on the fun too!

Whoa this looks good, I like me some carnage. I have not followed this game since it was announced, guess I should do some research. PS+ bound?
Oh snap LongHorn! Are you getting it dude? If you and Jeff and any of the others bite, I might jump in. Sort of get the feeling it'll be a PS+ game soon though lol.

Hmm...I don't think so. Earliest I could see it happening is next January. I think this title will see some pretty strong sales
Yeah I agree. Although it will eventually come to PS+, I have a feeling it will have good sales too. The trailer for the game... doesn't do the game justice. lol watching from beginning to the end of 1 mission, sold me on the game. The game informer video was really really fun to watch.

Unless your Vita and PS4 are using different PSN accounts, this game is cross buy.
Italians are casuals : confirmed

Ill start working on them to get it. Seeing Jeff on Wednesday irl so ill twist his arm a bit.
I honestly think the friendly fire is going to be a funny element to the game and will add a lot of strategy/thinking to the normal twin stick shooter.
Really excited.

This has Abandon Thread written all over it.
'What?! I just got here... Abandon Thread'.
Interesting to see what the price will be once it hits the store in Europe? 19.99/£14.99?

I'm disappointed the Vita version is so bad. Why even bother, you know?

here is another Vita vid, He does 2 3 and 4 people at the same time. There is some slowdown but nothing near the "unplayable" comments. May go for it. I think if you play this on a PS4 and then go right to the Vita you will have some major system shock for sure. Again, depends on your tolerance for this stuff.

When I went to IndieCade East this year, they had a playable demo of this running in the Sony section. Pretty awesome game, and to confirm whats been mentioned earlier, if you encounter trolls/griefers, they have a system in place to cordon them off.
This is also not a good game to play with buddies while drinking. Unless you like accidentally setting your friends on fire with a flamethrower.

The fuck? Never heard of it. Will check
Woot! Great to hear
I liked that detail..
I commended all the Teamwork playing reviewers.. but I didn´t commend óne guy who was playing like an asshole.. and somehow I ended up in games with him all the time..
Btw.. when you want to play Multiplayer, you go to the multiplayer portal on your ship and then a list of available games pop up.,. then you can chose one of them. You can see the amount of players, the difficulty, what kind of enemies they are playing against and the time they have played.,!!
