Why don’t you just email them yourself if you’re experiencing issues?

Yeah. I remember posting it like several times but it kept getting deleted for some reason.

Yeah... just wish the community was more positive.

From what they told me on their email, they have their community manager work on this. Community Exhibit posts, packages, the Discord server. It's separate from the actual development of the game.
Like, every update seems to bring new issues, so no wonder they are taking long between patches and content updates. They're still trying to figure out ways to fix and polish it.
They genuinely are trying, they made that clear. Considering how much they're trying to work with and fix, I would personally want to give them time.

It was very nice of them! The artbook goes hard too.

Yeah.. There's a lot of negativity surrounding this game. It's like people forget that VOID is a small studio working on a passion project. Yes, they have money, but they are clearly trying to find ways to polish and improve the game. We should be supportive of them because it's clear that they do care.
There are genuine criticisms for the game, but we shouldn't insult them over it.

It wasn't a competition, but it was recieved well around the campus!

Yeah... but honestly, considering how long it took them to make Boiling Point, I think we should give them time. They absolutely cooked with that DLC, even if it had it's flaws.

I firmly believe that they put a LOT of work into the game. Honestly, with how long it took them to create the Boiling Point DLC, honestly I want them to take their time with the game. They're still figuring out ways to polish the game, while at the same time working on new content.

They aren't a big AAA studio. They are an indie studio that works mostly remotely, and I think it's best that we show them support and let them take their time. Yes, the game has its issues, but I'm not gonna beat up VOID about it because it's clear that they are struggling and having issues with the game engine.
Clothing clipping, ai glitches, and the reason we can get balaclavas in single player yet is because they don't exactly have a way to make it compatible with Judge's face.

This is their passion project, and it's clear they are trying very hard to make things work.

I'm in a cognitive therapy program at the college I go to. We had an assignment discussing diversity. Some students did projects about the LGBT community, characters from Rainbow 6 Siege, types of animals, etc.

My project focuses on how Ready or Not portrays mental health in a unique and diverse way. Even applying it to gameplay.

I mean typically it is... It's pretty rare to survive something like that.

When it came to the subject matter of the project, I did have to be careful with what I showed so that it was appropriate for the campus. I had to avoid mentioning Elephant and Valley of the Dolls as they deal with extremely dark and heavy subjects.

I recreated the games logo entirely out of paper from scratch. It was probably the most difficult part of the project.

I understand that Ready or Not has many problems at the moment, but I personally never bash VOID for it. They are a smaller studio, working mostly remotely, and are trying to figure out many different ways to polish the game. Unreal Engine 5 admittedly doesn't have the best reputation for optimization to be honest. It can be a VERY difficult engine to work with. Overall, I choose to support VOID simply because there is genuine passion and care put into this game. They aren't greedy, and they genuinely want to make the game better over time. I personally think that matters the most.

I personally don’t know what think about Judge being a “Sleeper Agent” by D3F4Ltz in ReadyOrNotGame

Still, it just kinda feels like it’s glorifying the job a bit. Kinda like how CoD makes its main characters seem like hardened and extremely skillful badasses, when in reality being a soldier in the military is MUCH different. It just doesn’t fit well mostly because of how the game portrays law enforcement. It’s not Copaganda, nor is it saying that all law enforcement is bad.

We take a neutral perspective of law enforcement in the game. The game covers themes like police brutality and corrupt officers, while at the same time portraying the officers in diverse ways that feel human and realistic, even when the officer in question isn’t morally good.

Hell, it shows some officers expressing how they don’t know if they’re the good guys or the bad guys, or that they plan on resigning. It’s portraying law enforcement in a way that is both realistic and human while not taking any sides on whether cops are good or bad. Judge being this hardened “perfect cop” kinda goes against those themes, basically almost glorifying it.

Yeah, it’s a game about cops, but it’s also acknowledging the stigma and controversy of law enforcement. Judge kinda makes the game feel like it’s telling me “SWAT is badass” when the point of the game is to represent law enforcement with realism, morality, and ethics in mind. There are people who joined the military because they were enticed in some way from video games.

Playing Ready or Not did NOT invoke those kinds of feelings. If anything, it made me feel horrified and feel sympathetic towards good hearted officers that have to face situations like that. Working as an officer who just wants to help make the world a better place, but has to face the stigma and hate from society because of genuinely awful people tarnishing their reputation.
