The stream has ended but you can watch the VOD below. It will be available for 14 days.
The Cycle: Frontier was a pretty cool game. It's quite competitive and very punishing. If you die all your gear and loot is gone and dyig is pretty easy. There's both monsters and other players trying to make sure of that. It's quite clear I don't play a lot of shooters cause I am not winning any firefights in this game.
I do feel like it's taken my favorite parts of Escape From Tarkov and adapted them into their own game. I'm not quite sure if I like the whole matchmaking system though. Instead of matching you with players and you all load in at the same time you get thrown into a random active map when you deploy. This map is open for hours and players come and go. This means that most of the time hotspots will already have been looted when you get there. No matter how fast you are to get there. It also makes it easier for enemies to spawn kill. Luckily extractions are personal though so not everyone is flocking towards the same places.
I'm probably not gonna be playing it anymore on stream but will try it a bit off stream. I think it can become real good once its out of beta and they add more content to it.
This was a 50/50 Cycle and Elden Ring stream. Didn't really do much besides exploring in Elden Ring today. I've probably had 25 hours of gameplay since last time I killed a major boss. There's just so much to explore that I keep on getting lost. I've switched over to a great sword now to switch up my style a bit. The twinblades are cool but it was time for another flavor.
I'm not sure when I'll stream again but I hope to get live soon! Later!

Stream info
Taking a wee break from Elden Ring today to play the Closed Beta of the Cycle: Frontier. This is a game I've been excited to try out for a while. It's loosely based on Escape From Tarkov but with a sci-fi space setting. You load into a raid, loot, kill and try to extract. If you die you lose all your gear and if you survive you get to keep everything you found. Along the way you can encounter both monsters and other players and both will try to kill you.
I was trying to play this yesterday but the servers were having some issues and I mostly got stuck on loading screens or got disconnected. It's a beta after all and it was even the first day of beta. Can't really get mad.
I'll probably be switching to Elden Ring later in the stream depending on how well I like this game. If I go into full addiction mode I might just stick to it all night. Only time will show! Exciting, isn't it?
