What else is there to say? It’s not the worst launch of a AAA game in the last 10 years but this was the third -tide game fatsharks made and the one I was most excited for. None of the lessons learned from VT2 stuck. A bunch of new bugs, crashes, and optimization issues appearing between beta and launch. I returned the game on steam but ended up with a key bundled with some hardware upgrades I picked up over cyber Monday, so I’ll be back eventually but I’m never directly spending a cent on another fs game.

Out of all the things I’ve seen in game development in my 30 year tenure as a gamer. This one really made absolutely no sense to me. They essentially spat on the community that carried their asses through VT1 and VT2. Disgusting.

I am probably going to hit the refund menu soon. It’s clear the FatShark prioritizes the mtx store moreso than the actual game
A $25 microtransation is prioritized over a crafting system and solo lobbies with bots

My feelings as well. I’ve played these things since the birth of the industry, and this just feels incredibly tone-deaf; especially with the upfront inclusion of a cash shop with predatory marketing. The VT2 cash shop was much better, and much less scummy
