Beta Whining Post – Things I Don't Like
First off, I really like the new equipment customization and the addition of new anomalies.
But personally, there are quite a few things that disappointed me.
- Mimic's Glowing Jaw Removed - When the game was first released, the glow was so bright that you could see them from far away at night, making the game too easy. However, at the end of last year, a patch significantly reduced the brightness, making nighttime gameplay really unpleasant. Now, it’s beyond just being unpleasant—you might as well not even bother fighting at night. If enemies also had trouble seeing me, it’d be fine, but they seem to have no issues spotting me. It just feels unfair. On top of that, with this patch, the daytime (at least in the FOREST area) has gotten much darker, so even during the day, I often have to take a hit first just to see the enemy’s muzzle flash and track them.
- After the patch, the colors feel off - It reminds me of the Kolkhoz Zarya area in ITR1 (PC) , which I really didn’t like. Everything is darker and has a reddish tint, bringing back the exact thing I disliked. Maybe it's just me, but I much preferred the brighter color scheme from before.
Mimic's Voice Change - Instead of having that eerie feeling of something inhuman trying to mimic a person, Mimics now just sound like generic goons from a low-budget FPS, which really sucks. Personally, I preferred the ITR1 Mimics, aside from their overly repetitive lines.
Stuttering When Opening the Backpack - This is probably due to the new customization feature. Since it’s a technical issue, I assume it’ll improve over time, but for now, the stuttering when taking items in and out of the backpack is really annoying.
Even so, this game is still the best VR game I've ever played. I just wrote a post complaining about the things I don’t like, but I still believe the developers will ultimately create the best single-player VR experience.
