      Don’t feel lame. I’m not buying it now. Requirements like these are taking over gaming and it’s asinine.

      I’m not creating a new account for every new game I want to play. Ubisoft, Rockstar, EA, Sony, Microsoft… It’s absolutely maddening.

      Half the reason companies do this is to spam your email address, track you, and sell your data.

        Yeah…not sure why I’d ever make a new PlayStation account to play a game on my PC…I haven’t had a console since the PS3 (and it was my roommate’s so no account)

      I played for 90 hours, it’s fun. But like many games where the narrative is determined by hundreds of thousands of people, it suffers from the Marvel Studios problem where nothing ever happens. The aliens destroy X planet and it gets rebuilt and everyone moves back. No attacks on super earth, two enemy types, mostly the same set of planets.

      The gameplay loops are fun, but I have most stuff unlocked and was hoping the robots would really make an incursion, or the bugs would attack super earth. So far though, no dice.

      For $40 and 90 hours of play, I can’t complain. It just doesn’t feel like it has the staying power of a DRG though.

        Yeah, I was initially invested in the whole meta narrative, but when we wiped out the bots and they just… Came back again lmao, I lost interest somewhat. I’ll still dip in here and there, it’s a fun game, but I would have liked to see the campaign be more emergent and the missions actually reflect what’s happening more.

      I bought this game, then couldn’t remember my PSN password, or recover my PSN account. Didn’t realize it was optional. But I got a Steam refund.

        Please do not make me jump through extra hoops to play your games, devs.

        Even Paradox didn’t make me create an account to play C:S and devs shouldn’t aim lower than Paradox lol

          I read that the devs didn’t make this choice. Apparently Sony did.
