What Went Wrong with Exoprimal?

Capcom's newest live-service bid is available now, and despite some solid action, results are a bit mixed. Here's what we think happened.

Live service tells it all

It’s true, it’s what made me stay away from it. I have yet to see a GaaS game that feels like a complete experience and not some anemic husk of a game with grindy mechanics ad nauseam.

I tried the beta and completely couldn’t stomach the repetition. I’m glad there’s people who enjoy it, but it’s not for me and that’s really due in part to the GaaS structure.

From what I've seen, you could swap out the Dinosaurs for Zombies or something and it's still the same game, it just looks really boring and repetitive.

Honestly it seems like the PVP and GAAS aspects just made it all crumble apart. It would've been a solid game if it stuck to being a straightforward co-op pve game like Monster Hunter is.

It wasn't Dino Crisis.

this is what i thought

You beat me to it, no one wanted this, it looks like a bland live-service game, I predicted early on this game wouldn't do well.

Many of us just want solid SP games, not GAAS stuff …

So we automatically just shrug and skip releases like these.
