Atlas Reactor - Gameplay First Look

This game looks great!

The only problem is that I was burned by Daybreak Games in the Landmark/Next fiasco, and the Atlas Reactor beta signup looks exactly like the old Landmark deal.

Now whenever I see AAA game companies trying to shift their financial risk onto their customers, I see red. And this game is designed to aggravate players into spending money forever with micro-transactions, too. So I won't be giving it another look.

Hey Magicman,

Definitely like the new format, very informative and helps to leave a little mystery to the beginning of the game as well, which is a plus for me because although I watch first looks before I decide to play something, I enjoy the newbie experience a bit more if somethings are a surprise. The pros and cons help a lot as well, since those often determine if I will really try a game... for example if the "con" a site gives is that it has "clunky controls", I'm probably not going to touch it reguardless of how many pros it has. On the other hand if, say I have my own "con", the art style for example, but the site's pros are overwhelming enough about the right stuff, I might give it a go anyhow. Also enjoyed your insight on this one about the complexities, definitely is something I will be checking out when I get time.
