I’m getting some mixed signals, here. Help me out by clarifying, if you would:
The game was truly exceptional (blanket statement)
The game was bad (blanket statement)
To be fair, it’s totally acceptable to just not enjoy a game as a whole and you don’t have to have specific reasoning for it, but as someone who really enjoys many aspects of the game I have a hard time comprehending someone disliking it without a selling-point for the dislike.
Again, totally fair to dislike it, I’ve just not seen reasons posted
Some Reasons I've not been turned off by WoM or 2.0
I, personally, haven’t had a lot of the problems that folks are talking about on the forums. When I do play I’ve been having a rather good time and I don’t really have a problem with lack of sounds (a lot of the time I play with music blaring or talking to someone in the room, so I hardly care about the backstabbing sounds but I do see how that could be a big problem).
I’ve also not had troubles with frame-rate, but my rig runs most games pretty well and I’m happy to drop settings to maintain performance, so I’ve not really noticed a hit there.
I love the stagger mechanic. I don’t know why people are complaining that they don’t like hitting a bad-guy a few more times; they don’t feel spongey to me, only a little tougher (and not at all tough if they’re prone). If you fight with your team, there’s no difference in time-to-kill and that’s sorta what Vermintide was designed for!
Lastly, I really don’t have many problems with the beast-men and I always assume I’ll get hit from somewhere I can’t see… so I am usually prepared for it. I don’t mind the reach on the spear-men, the rate-of-fire from the archers, nor the coloration of the gors.
Also, ninja minotaur are twice as fun because a monster that doesn’t announce it’s presence just seems like a smart monster
I’m like the perfect storm of “ignorance is bliss”
Lastly, I’m sorry to hear you wanted to refund it. I am, however, surprised to hear that it’s your first game/DLC refunded. I’ve refunded around 15 titles because I’m curious but then not satisfied. Always good to sate your curiosity knowing you can safely return it if need be or keep it if it’s fun!
