It's really hard to say that this is a bad game. Because it isn't. It's fun. Dumb fun, but fun all the same. It presents its story in long cutscenes that you can (and probably will) skip. Because you don't need to know the story to enjoy the niche of mech suits slaughtering dinosaurs. But as fun as it is, Capcom has dropped the ball in so many places it keeps coming back to frustrate me.
1. Over-priced. $60 base game, $70 if you want the deluxe edition that immediately gives you access to all suits and the season pass. You'd think for as much as it costs, they'd of made it easier to play with friends.
2. Cross play? Read the fine print. Playing it on gamepass? Read the fine print. You can only play with friends if they are on similar systems. PC can only group with PC. Xbox with xbox and Playstation with Playstation. You play against other systems and have them in your group...but you can't invite them to a party. Which is a shame, because this is a blast with friends. Oh, so you bought it on Steam (because who doesn't like to play shooters on mouse and keyboard), but you figure you'll just play on game pass with your Xbox friends? Game saves don't crossover either. Despite it all being connected to your Capcom account.
3. You have to sign up for a Capcom account. Which wasn't really that bad, but when you're itching start playing, download it, create an account...whoops, the tutorial takes an hour before you actually start playing.
4. $60-$70 game...oh, and it already has $60 of DLC. Don't worry though, the skins aren't worth it, save your money on those.
5. TOO MANY CUTSCENES. You have to watch the same cutscene every time you load up in the lobby. And then you get to watch yet another cutscene with minor variations in dialogue before you can see what classes you're grouped with and decide you want to change your suit. EVERY. TIME.
5. Tones of skins. Most of them reshades. You get loot boxes as level rewards and guess what's in them? Endless reshaded skins, Avatars that only your friends will really notice (but they won't because you're playing on a different system and can't party with them), and even more boring nameplate backgrounds standing between you and what you really want: that unique skin for your chosen suit.
tldr; It's fun, but poorly packaged.
