Fun game. I haven't played in months. When I left, the F2P stuff wasn't too gross. Hopefully it's still fine.

Game looks potentially fun, but that "banter" was embarrassing.

The game is super fun and the weapon customization you can do is pretty awesome. Also the style of the game and the way they handle the gore is just terrific. Dudes losing a leg limping around holding their stump until they fall over and die. Blowing holes in arms and chests and seeing rib cages etc. Awesome.

The F2P stuff is fine. Spacebuxs can only be used for cosmetics now (previously for everything if I remember correctly) and the Blutes you earn from matches, leveling etc you use for the tech tree to unlock all the weapon specific stuff.

@iluvmsmarvel: That makes this worse, somehow. As if that was possible. They should've gone the opposite direction, tried to sound like the classic, brittish snobs, horrified yet removed. "Dear me, you really ought to stop drinking so much, your kidney is in a terrible state!"

I don't know, parts of this look like dumb fun, hitting grenades with golf-clubs is A-okay in my book and the potential character destruction is a really neat touch, but the art-style for the weapons, the effects and the characters is just bland. Some of it is even a bit embarrassing.

The game looks fun, but extremely annoying and unfunny at the same time. The commentary certainly doesn't help, either.

Game trailers that include fake player banter are so terrible. This trend must stop.

Also this game is trying way too hard to be offensive and wacky.

I've actually really enjoyed what I've played! I just can't wait to have more weapons and maps. The game practically feels like a third person arena FPS, which I think is the main reason I keep going back to it periodically.

That was a poorly thought out trailer. The banter thing doesn't work if it's not straight screen capture of gameplay.

That said, I'm fan of cartoon gore and am willing to give it a shot. The trailer did no favors for it though in my opinion.

I... had never wished for better "mute all" functionality on a trailer before.

Well played, I guess? At least it captures the full experience of playing a F2P online FPS.

Aaaanyway, gore looks fun, graphics look neat, I wonder how procedural it is and I don't think the character models look nearly as funny as their creators think they do. May give it a shot, be reminded why I wanted to mute the voice track in this and never touch it again.

The banter isn't fake per-se, it's actual banter from Let's Plays by the Rooster Teeth/Achievement Hunter guys, just clumsily put into these other clips.

This video is far too radical for me.

Everything else I've seen about Loadout looks fun though!

Looks like a cool mash of Ratchet & Clank, Borderlands, and TF2.

And on the forefront of the grand debate of "Let's Players being paid by companies to express positive opinions about games", we have this. Classy!

I really hate the aesthetic of this game. Instant pass.

Rooster Teeth Let's Play = Screaming and saying "Holy fucking shit!" everytime 10 seconds. I say that as someone that watches and enjoys some of their stuff regularly. That being said, they just put clips from a previous lets play over top of new footage for this trailer. It still seems strange since the devs worked with them in the past with RTX and such. I couldn't get a feel during that Let's Play if it was promo or natural. It seemed less natural than other videos they've done.

@thatonedudenick: That's the problem with mixing stuff like this and what's supposed to be their natural reactions when actually playing the game.

Loadout or Bro-out? This is the kind of ridiculousness that might make FPS shooters tolerable for the masses.

Man that was a bad trailer. I'm guessing they're targeting people who find this kind of stuff funny. Which does not bode well for the kind of community this game will have. At least people are saying the game is fun.

Why do people think this looks terrible? I love the unique (well maybe not unique, but more unique than most) art style, and the weapon customisation I've seen in other videos looks awesome.
