Having played the newest update I had a startling rememberance of that old Robot Chicken Lando/Vader skit. This time though Lando is exclaiming "This game keeps getting worse!" while Devolution Vader threatens "Pray I don't develop it any further!"
(btw., if you've never watched it, go on youtube and search it up, it's fantastic! Plus the guy who actually played Lando in the first Trilogy is playing his old role in the skit)
Shit no-one asked for and none of what we DID ask for.
- new system of searching loot that takes like 10 times longer and it makes you a sitting duck
- taken away the ability to take all loot at the same time which previously helped survival (maybe that's why it was removed?)
- AI are shooting THROUGH CONCRETE WALLS (cause it's logical their .45 acp peashooters act like .50 BMG or Russian 12.7x108mm, amirite?)
- now we need to be at the workbench to fix our clothing with thread and needle (has Devo never mended his clothes irl? Or is he so appallingly incompetent at such menial task that he truly does need a workbench to pull it off?)
- compass is fucked. Or maybe Devolution is directionally-challenged, who knows - needle should be pointing towards North instead it's pointing the OPPOSITE direction you're facing
- while nutrients go down slower, they also go up a lot slower than before
- sound is really muffled for some reason
- compass directions in missions are fucked (I was told to look for abandoned house EAST of the highway, but it was WEST)
- still no pregnancy system (instead eggs are now more difficult to get rid of, god knows why that made sense to him)
- the cybercrap that last patch said "will be developed in future" still gives the same message (aside of that, looks like Devo and I have completely different understanding of what breast augmentation implants should do, lol - personally I think my version is much more pleasant, not to mention pleasing)
- still can't jump higher than 5cm - I swear a freaking grasshopper was mocking me the last time I tried!
- plastic trash bags still present a bigger obstacle than Elbrus, plus for some reason I keep sliding on them
- hoverbike is still dragging it's ass on the ground/lagging/whatever the hell it's doing that makes that annoying sound and slows you down
But oh look! Devolution moved some boxes here and there! But all is not lost, a new map arrived (even though old maps still had issues to fix), loot boxes are now varied and some are interesting.
Sadly that is not enough to save the game. Devolution seems more focused on continually fucking around with creating a better DRM for a game in beta than he is on making sure there is something good to actually protect. If he goes on like this DRM won't be needed cause people simply won't play his game anymore, cause it will be shit.
In the end, his name really is well chosen.
Devolution, cause game's certainly devolving as time goes on.
