It's not just the stealth. The shooting felt off, the Ai was all over the place, the janky animations can result some infuriating moments, etc. It really sucks because I was probably one of the few people who found the story and cast of characters.

Honestly, what annoys me the most about the game is its user score on metacritic. The fact that it's higher than most games released on the PS4 and PC is baffling, but at the same strange, especially when I found out that the amount of positive scores on the PS4 version is 95% the same as the PC version's. If these people actually used bots, then the game deserves all the critisim it gets.

The one big praise I can give to Left Alive is that it's nowhere near as bad as games like Gene Rain and Alekhine's gun.

Agreed. The game did recieve a patch so to give the devs some credit, they kinda tried their best. I mostly put the blame on Square.

"It’s a shame cause it will probably never be given the chance to improve on all that, especially the wander combat."

And it's all Square's fault. From what I have read, they didn't have much faith with the poject from the getgo, considering that they only hired a small developer that only worked on a mobile game to develop the title, and the little marketing there was was an early sign. Just shows that Square only made the game just so they get some extra cash from the fans.

The only way Square can redeem themselves is if they either let the devs improve the game or port some of the older Front Mission games to current platforms. They did the latter with Star Ocean after the failure of the 5th installment, so I won't be surprised if Square are actually planning to do the same with the FM series.

True. I agree on the same spectrumas you despite my previous post sounding a bit negative. And to Jammer, I forgot that the game got a patch that dumbed down the difficulty and added a mode for a more casual audience. Don't know if they're still supporting the game but if this was really the last patch, then I'm kinda disappointed. As Nitrowolf said, Left Alive could be something special if they have enough time to refine the game but ever since Square's tweet on Left Alive's underwhelming sales, only time will tell.

And as I said earlier, I have definitely far worse games. Gene Rain comes to mind since it's a scifi third person shooter where you play as three characters though Left Alive is a superior game compared to Gene Rain.

@Rangerman1208 You see now that's a better reply than your previous one...sort of.

You don't understand how a second party developer would actually function

It has nothing to do with the studio being 2nd party, it has to do with MS not managing their own game development.

Hyped up by some? MS hyped up the game themselves. All this talk about the cloud and the destruction and now the games crap and 'other' people were hyping up the game?

Good to see that some people don't get the full context of my comment as "by some" does include MS, guess it has to be spelled out for the less intelligent people
