I am of the opinion that Darktide’s HUD is too intrusive and it really needs customization options.
Mostly, I desperately need the ability to turn off hit markers and crosshairs for melee weapons. It’s entirely unnecessary. Melee weapons have excellent feedback for hits and kills on their own, Darktide doesn’t need something else clogging up the dead center of the screen in melee combat (which is the time when you’d want your screen to be clear the most).
Frankly I expected Darktide customization being at least on par with V2. I was wrong.
TBF they had years to continually improve on VT2’s UI and settings. And if it’s one thing we’ve seen from DT, it’s that recreating everything your last successful game did right isn’t just an automatic process. Stuff like that is what another 6 months of development might have produced. When you are implementing things like mouse sensitivity a couple months before release and game settings are literally resetting themselves randomly during gameplay…yeah.
V2 has been out for 6 years. And this is the second day of the beta. There will be more.
Yep, yep, yeppers. I like to play my first person melee games without crosshair in the way. It ruins immersion and just gets in my way. I like to have it on for ranged but not for melee.
Perfecly agree with that. We absolutely need deeper customization of the HUD : games feels way more immersive with nothing on screen, exactly like in the many trailers.
Please yes, let us turn off crosshairs.
It too much automatic focus on the stupid crosshairs…
When i die and see through the perspective of another player there is no crosshair and it feels so much better.
