For those of you anime fans, manga fans, shooter fans, and general videogame fans, there is a new videogame coming out set in the Ghost in the Shell universe, which if I’m not mistaken, is a manga, one of the classics I suppose.
You can sign up for the closed beta through a link on that page, but there is also a sweet trailer, with some nice music to listen to while watching futuristic cops get blasted to bits, assuming they’re even cops.
EDIT: Well would you look at that, also being published by Nexon.
Ready to laugh? YOUTUBE has taken down the video for “Fraud”. Fucking top kek!
Now onto my opinion:
From what we can see, Gias is very standard. It looks ALOT like Black Light. This is a HUGE issue for nexon NA. DB was accused of not doing anything new too, and well, Gias may follow.
We also see the return of the Energy Sword. Fair melee is hard to come by in shooters. Block N Load, Halo, BLR (kinda), are good examples of balanced melee. DB use to have balanced melee… Which, I will included a bonus rant at the bottom for that. Gias has potential is that point. Balanced Melee could draw in players like me, who like to stab, instead of shoot. The issue is, we don’t 100% if melee if confirmed. Maybe it was a lucky stab.
Another thing is it has alot of CoD like deployables. From the looks of it, it is probably going to be a X kills for X perk system. Which isn’t bad, but it doesn’t help the game. The idea of being a re-skin of another game is enough to kill it. EA… Activision… Looking at both of you.
Another issue is that Military sim is on it’s way out. This has happened time and time again. Pong, yes, fucking pong, was a HUGE industry. If pong was still how it was today, HardCore MLG players, would be sitting down to play a game of online pong, while screaming “I fucked ur mum” and “Fuck CoD, that game is for casuals.” The issue is Gias is trying to make a pong game. Atari had this issue. Accounting on pong to never die, they were so sad, when they barely sold.
I feel Gias, unless it makes a class system, or something that isn’t just “Pick a gun, pick a pistol, good job, here is a fighting robot, oh look! X-ray vision” The game will flop.
Now for my side Phantom rant:
First off, SD has said “We hear both sides, and can’t decide if Phantom is OP, or Nerfed.” LISTEN HERE SD! READY?! AS A PHANTOM PLAYER, CLOSED BETA, AND OPEN, PHANTOM IS WEAK! Phantom’s biggest issue is they are trying to balance him with an SMG, instead of balancing him with a sword. I said like like 5 times, and every time it’s been “Refractive armor is the issue” or “U jus hatin”. No. Because phantom has an SMG, they have to account his range. A sword has a in front of face range, while an SMG has a across map range, with large bullet drop. By Phantom having an SMG, he is now considered a ranged attacker, there for giving less HP, damage, and cloak. This becomes an issue for players who don’t wanna use an SMG on Phantom. There is sadly a “no going back” on Phantom now. Phantom till this day pissed me off how FUCKING USELESS HE IS! Meanwhile, the devs are going “Oh, idk, these nubs are QQing saying Phantom is OP, WHILE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY FUCKING PLAY PHANTOM SAY HE IS WEAK!” But then why are there complains? Surely is Phantom was weak, everyone would see it, even if not playing him. The issue is most players don’t know how to repair the EV, they have no idea this isn’t cod, AND GUESS WHY! BECAUSE SOMEONE AT SD SAID “HEY, LETS HAVE FUCKING PEWDIEPIE PLAY THIS GAME, INSTEAD OF PLAYERS WHO COULD BRING IN THE CORRECT AUDIENCE, LIKE TOTALBISCUT!” Don’t listen to the QQers, Phantom is god damn weak, and there isn’t any way to fix him.
It will have to be really good to survive in the current market, and as some people have said (Kotaku) it just seems to be another Blacklight left in the Ghost in the shell universe to attract weebs who are interested.
I jump at any free to play game though, so I can’t wait for this regardless.
