bratMario Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I wonder if I should rush to complete this asap or can put it away? Having in mind your experience, how long can live this STAR? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpwbjpwb Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I think that the game has a fairly healthy following in Japan. I expect that they will do a few updates, and simplify the server system a bit to reduce overheads, but I don't expect it to get shut down for a fair while yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I admit it's extremely difficult elsewhere, but playing on JP servers is practically impossible for me due to lag, so I can't even do it. I legitimately wouldn't mind all this if I could play more matches, but I sometimes wait more than 5 minutes without a single pop. Or being told to try again later.

bratMario Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 (edited) Thanks for your opinions guys. I decided to play this and it was exactly as I've expected: 1. Solo/DLC campaign (6 characters x 6 missions = 36 total missions) it was pleasant, interesting stories and super easy to beat although very repetitive. 2. PVP 4v4 unplayable/total chaos. 3. PVE up to 4P playable but boring. Unfortunately I had to wait around 5 mins to start "party" and every 2nd/3rd attempt resulted in matchmaking failure (no players?). I think the game service will be shut down in less than 1 year (even in 6 months). Edited March 25 by bratMario 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GravityQueeen Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I have experienced long waiting times at launch while searching in my region, but matchmaking was instant when searching in JP or USA. We can not predict when a game will shut down. But anyone worried could rest assured that Square will give a proper warning when the time comes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suicide_Tortuga Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Considering they have a roadmap for this year set, you shouldn't worry to much about a shutdown. The 100% takes less than 20 hours. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angulus Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 If they decide to shutdown the game, it probably will be in one year after the roadmap. So you have time to complete the trophy list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratMario Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 Just completed both stacks. I had to try for a few hours to play especially two modes (rubber duck / bath survival) and also ranked one. Changing play zone (from Poland to Japan, back and forth) didn't help a lot. It is why I think there is rather small player base or players are picky. Second, gameplay vs real players isn't fun because you (I) have to fire blind shots, I don't see a f*kng thing over my own foam which covers half of my screen/view, I don't feel this hits target (besides sound I hear). It's failure imho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
