Hood: Outlaws & Legends - Gameplay Overview Trailer

I preordered this a while back. It's a benefit that it's not an expensive game either, so hopefully people take a chance B with it. I think it looks good from the footage.
The only thing that I think looks rough is the melee combat versus players. Just looks like you're flailing around.

This looks cool in concept, but is it going to be essentially MP only? Feels like a bit of a Sea of Thieves situation where you'd really need a solid group of people to properly enjoy it.
Focus Home has been putting out some really unique and top shelf stuff lately. I'm excited for the prospects of this game, but the chances of me getting into a co-op game like this are pretty slim.

Hmm, I always like these types of multiplayer experiences, but I wonder how they discourage camping. Strategically, why spend resources going after the key and chest when it's probably far easier to set up an ambush to kill the other team after they get it. That also ensures you can safely extract it while they have to respawn. The team who initiates the PvE aspect seems like they will always be at a disadvantage.
I could see stalemates around the sheriff where each team is waiting for the other to go for it so they can intentionally alert the sheriff/guards and then attack so it's "2v1" so to speak.

Wait, what's the point of crossplay if you can't party up across platforms?

They didn't want players to be forced to create another account just to play.
The dev also said if demand is high they'll reconsider in the near future.
The lack of cross-progression is disappointing. The lack of cross-platform invites is confusing.
Strange that it is not an optional thing they considered from the start.
The logic also doesn't make sense.. if the lack of cross-platform invites negatively impacts player count then the demand will be low because there are fewer numbers of players.
Cross play without cross platform invites is kind of completely useless lol
I totally respect the insistence to rely on console/platform specific UI instead of asking users to make more accounts, but in this case they're only erasing features by not doing it. Feels like cutting off the nose to spite the face.
Plus, they could implement a password/lobby ID system if they didn't want users to set up all new accounts.
I've played in all three closed betas for this and I'm sorry to say but it's nowhere near the experience Hunt: Showdown or EFT are.
It's actually really frustrating how much emphasis they put on stealth for their trailers etc when the actual game is just a bum rush to the objective and the AI enemies are a joke.

I could definitely see that being the case. These trailer always promote the game being played the most ideal way, which is rarely ever how it goes in practise.
medieval castle infiltration sounds cool on paper, but they it is explained it in the video ie strict phases of setting spawns, pickpocketing a key and then defending whoever carries the chest sounds a bit boring and eventually repetitive. Sounds like it takes away all freedom in how you might approach a heist.
This is what I was mostly afraid of. They make it look cool in the trailers, but figured it would just be a mad dash to the loot, and every game would play out the same. Just rush the treasure, easily kill the mobs...then PvP at the end to see who wins.
