Thumbs up for calling it a ARPG!
If only the game would be playable. Waited in the queue over 4 hours. After that couldn’t get passed the character creation. The game refused to continue.
One day later: another 4 hours queue, character creation screen for the 100th time because it doesn’t save it then crash at the first scene. Repeated the action, the crash repeated also.
Total play time: 0 minutes. The worst in the list of bad game launches.
I fell asleep waiting for the queue yesterday. The day before that I had forgotten I was on queue after waiting so long. We’re on the third day now and I still have got zero game time haha. I’ll try again today.
Looks like Fortnite and Monster Hunter had a baby
