Yeah I get a lot of people saying I say bad things about the game. It’s definitely true. Oddly enough they never have anything to say about the subject at hand and instead repeat a version of the mantra, “Love it or leave it!”
I remember having these same discussions with Fortnite fanboys when I still had hope that, that game was going to be fun.
But hey! Fortnite at least made a big success by making a free battle royale version of the game and are able to float on cosmetic revenue and hype. That was good enough of a move to distract people from how terrible the basegame was and the fact that we weren’t delivered any promises.
Part of what I enjoy about gaming and gaming communities though is debating people online about the good bad and the ugly of a game at hand. This game has better fighting mechanics in my opinion, something about the combat feels less stiff and more satisfying to me than VT1. However you’re not gonna catch me raving about this. The UI looks WAY better than it did in VT1 in my opinion. The career paths are pretty cool despite being very unbalanced and super rudimentary. Though I’d rather have em than not and I can’t expect them to add in a Skill Tree even 1/10th as detailed as the ones in games like Path of Exile, Diablo, Torchlight, ect. The lootbox upgrade system I actually do enjoy more than the dice of VT1.
Doe this suffice? There might be one or two other things that I really enjoy in this game over VT1. That still doesn’t change the fact this is a bug forum and they made basically what could have been an amazing expansion/dlc pack into a disappointing standalone game that still has major problems from the last one. All the while it doesn’t have lore pages, beastiary is a mod, numeric ai is a mod, bots are still braindead, you still get weapons with traits that don’t work for them, and have you seen this thread?
Not to mention this thread is about how abysmally low the playerbase is.
Point is that there is a lot of bad and ugly in this game. It’s the same deal with it always seeming like there is only bad stuff in the news. People don’t comment as much on the stuff that works.
