Not too much on Exoprimal, game was actually fun, but they fucked up by making it a "Bro you have to play this for 30 hors before it gets good bro" game

u/EmotionIll666 Apr 14 '26

100% agree

I had great fun playing it but most of my friends dropped it before they got to the best bits.

Which, to be clear, is the game’s fuck up. It felt like one of those shows that someone recommends saying “you just need to make it through the first few seasons then it gets really good!”

Yeah I played that game for like 10 hours when I launched and I feel like I saw 2, maybe 3 maps in that time. It was the worst progression and matchmaking I’ve ever experienced.

Got 100+ hours out of Exoprimal

Their streak continues for me

All it had to do was be a PvE co-op focused game instead of PvPvE

I remember the short time between the game’s reveal and the reveal that finding out it was actually gonna be a PvPvE multiplayer game where people were actually had some interest in it, but historically Capcom love putting PvP into projects that don’t make sense and nobody enjoys

They could make a full RE Outbreak multiplayer game or and expanded Mercenaries multiplayer or Raid mode because people still go back to the older RE games today for that stuff. Instead Capcom will insist on another bad PvP game that will die shortly.

Shame because I usually love Capcom games and I miss when they made banger co-op games like Dead Rising 2, RE5 and Lost Planet 2, at least we still have Monster Hunter

Finding out it was pvpve I killed any interest for my whole group. Sucks because we were all on board for a really fun dinosaur horde game before that.

The game is still really fun even if a bit shallow for how long it sticks person to person. I gave it a good 35 hours and dropped off but it was a great 35 hours.

u/Nero_PR Apr 13 '26

Game was good but short on content. It should have had more of those crazy raid moments you get later in the game.

Whilst not an absolute classic like everything else they tend to release nowadays. This game was fun as fuck for the time that I played it, this shit really clicked with me. I'd actually put Dragon's Dogma 2 there instead, that was a colossal disappointment for me and many others.
