Anyone playing Arc Raiders? I've never really played extraction shooters but a lot of my friends are playing and FOMO is kicking in and I don't think Foxhunt has got any life in it for the long haul and I'm not willing to commit to it.

I've thought a fair bit about it. Read EDGE's write up on it recently and seen the hype (that mag came out about the same time it released I think). The concept of PvPvE sounds fun but I've read a lot of people saying it's basically just PvP now. Watched a fair bit of gameplay and don't think it's for me, although maybe that's extraction shooters in general. The AI usage for voices and other things also put me off. I thought I was destined to get BF6 but EA's PIF takeover left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth and I still wasn't entirely sure they wouldn't do something similar to 2042 and make a balls of it. Feel like the shooter genre is a difficult one for me to feel as comfortable in now like I used to be.

Anyone played Cosmic Invasion? I'll be buying it next Friday as I've become a big fan of classic beat 'em ups over the last year thanks to games like Shredder's Revenge and Rita's Rewind. I'm also a big Marvel Comics fan (though I prefer DC, haha), so it seems like a match made in (Outer) Heaven.
