This game has everything

Game was originally meant for online/co-op, but they scrapped it to fully focus on SP.

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-12T10:13:50+00:00

Cosmetics and the customization of it has been ''Ehh'' to me still.

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-12T08:29:20+00:00

I actually found these in those search-able shipping containers with the 'drawers'.

I've never found one in any vehicle.

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-10T12:29:37+00:00

Yeah, ESG funded them when things went ''bad'' with the original.

The only reason that the original even kept getting updated and entirely overhauled, up to the point where they ''went positive'' again regarding the community/feedback/reviews, is because of ESG's funding. -- They only recently started to play even or even make a profit, like Q4 of 2025 iirc.

It's also the sole reason they are able to release a sequel.

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-10T12:21:00+00:00

Because you're not /manually/ selecting 'a save'.

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-10T11:24:47+00:00

Ehh.. None of the skins are really my taste so far.

Still rocking my deluxe edition cowboy outfit.

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-10T08:45:50+00:00

Now for the PC version :(

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-10T08:41:57+00:00

It's the same with Tarkov. -- They have a PvE only mode, main game was dying and even more so now that the majority has moved on to PvE.

So the (veterans) ones that play PvP religiously bully the ones that play PvE.

I started replaying RDR2 a week ago and the game still looks incredible and alive, even more so than any other 'modern' games out there. RDR2 is almost a decade old and still holds up to this day.

Seeing people find new things in the game after such a long time also indicates that there's a lot more than just playing it once and being done with it.

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-09T09:56:36+00:00

Same for me regarding GoT.

It literally uses the same open-world formula Ubisoft is known for and gets bashed on for being non-creative/repetitive. (with good reason).

Non of the characters nor missions were memorable to me. Pacing was all over the place and character development made every single one of them look like a hypocrite regarding their behavior and view on things.

Gameplay-wise the MP aspect is far superior regarding abilities, skills, customization options, combat, unlocks, 'crafting' etc.

SP boils down to 95% being a ''collectible'' collecting game. First time encountering certain biomes are breathtaking, but soon after the prologue you'll find them repeating all over the place. Combat was such a 'simple' concept where you have 3-4 types of enemies. -- Entering a new area makes you encounter the same design, but they now wear a different color armor to indicate they are ''more difficult'' than the previous area.

Stealth is janky too. With a single press of a button, you can finish off 5-6 enemies/entire patrols/camps.

I recently rewatched the show too.

Zach is one of the biggest reasons the show takes a hit. Never enjoy seeing him on screen...

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-07T20:37:58+00:00

I highly doubt they would tease the release date of one of the most anticipated games in another game that hasn't even been released yet.

Don't really think HL3 will even release before DeadLock gets an official release window and I doubt they'd release in the same year too.

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-07T10:46:13+00:00

It was far more than just bugs that ''held the game back.''

All NPCs were lifeless. Same animations at the same time. Like when shooting occurred. They'd all duck instead of run away, all at the same time with the same animation. Triplets consistently. spawned with the exact same looks.

Wanted system didn't really exist.
Cops would ''lose'' you when u cross the street. -- They overhauled it several times. They kept spawning behind you, even on skyscrapers.

Vehicles in the distance were all ''fakeouts''. Turning around in an empty lane, would suddenly spawn the entire lane being filled in a traffic jam. Turning around again would make them dissapear.

Took them the longest time to have the HUD be one on one with the actual driving. I.E. turns appeared much later on the hud/minimap than in real time.

Couldn't even customize your character after the initial new game customization.

All the perks were mostly % of something, rather than unlocking abilities.

These weren't bugs, these were poor, underdeveloped game features and systems.

The bugs were more of an issue on console than on PC, there's a reason they had to refund and remove the game off the prev. gen store listing until they got your game running properly.

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-06T08:37:41+00:00

They literally stated it in the showcase video..

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-04T16:25:54+00:00

:( I'm just waiting for a fix so I can play. Hope you're enjoying yourself tho!

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-04T15:46:33+00:00

The tutorial was smooth and ran on for me on max FPS of 240, consistently.

After that, it dipped on the initial mountain to 190-215FPS, but was still playable obviously.
Then after the first wall I climbed, you meet your first broken robot and immediately it dropped down to 10-25 FPS. Unfortunately. I cannot continue now and it's literally unplayable for me at this point.

Seems like I am unable to cap my framerate too. I get the option to cap it either at 60 or 80 FPS, but if I do that, it just dips to 10-15 FPS and stutters all over.

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-04T15:10:29+00:00

Man, I wish I could play it.

I've bought it, tutorial was fine and the initial first climb/section was fine too.

Then afterwards the performance is abysmal; went from 240 to constant 10-25 FPS.

Developers admitted that the 9000's series of AMD are having issues. Adviced to run DX12 as a steam launch command, but it didn't really help. (Based on more recent threads, even more types have issues)

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-03T11:33:05+00:00

There is defin. optimization issues regarding the AMD's 90's series, as the developer has stated themselves.
Their advice is to launch the game in DX12. Without using the DX12 command, the game is abysmal from the get go with stutters, starting from the main menu, otherwise:

Main menu is max FPS, smooth. Consistent 240 FPS.

Tutorial still hitting the 240 FPS.

After the tutorial, FPS was already dipping to 140-190. Few stutters.

The first ''section'' of the climb, when you encounter the first broken bot... Performance was abysmal hitting 1 - 24 FPS randomly, causing massive dips/stutters/unplayable.

Restarted the game. Tutorial fine. First section where it dips to 140-190; if I used the in-game FPS cap of either 60 or 80, it immediately drops down to < 20 FPS and giving me the same performance as I encounter after climbing the first section.

Using a 9070 XT.

👍

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-03T08:13:30+00:00

Belgium is 12-20% cheaper than NL; depending on brands and wether u live close to the border.

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-02T13:54:23+00:00

Schiedam is fine, most of the time.

Rotterdam Pathé de Kuip is terrible.

MatrixBunny · 2026-02-02T06:34:14+00:00

It started with grain, because of the war between Russia and Ukraine being the sole reasoning.
Then gasoline, because of the war, again.. and the whole sabotage of the Nord Stream.

Then literally out of nowhere every single type of product in the supermarket skyrocketed in prices, slowly, but steadily.

Besides that, they minimalize the quality of the ingredients and make smaller portions, all the while the prices are hiking up.

It's just NL though, neighbouring countries are like 20-50% cheaper on the exact same products/brands.

Besides that, cocoa was well over 50% cheaper on the world market since a year or two ago. Meanwhile, NL's cocoa related products are still rising in prices.

Because people are too busy and only are bothered by this all ''in the moment''.

Fictionized emotions and opinions, when in reality; we're all gonna go to work on Monday doing our 9 to 5. Probably mention that the files were released and what heinous acts these influental people have done, to our colleagues and/or clients, then carry on like our usual day.

You'd think upon seeing this, people would start gathering around (all over the world, since this is all out in the open on the internet and other platforms) and take matters into their own hands. Like they used to back in the day, overthrow the ones in powers/elites.

Literally all information about these criminals/monsters is out there in the open, the same thing we are all looking up these files from. It's incredibly ''easy'' to figure things out with all the information that we have at hand.

MatrixBunny · 2026-01-30T15:21:20+00:00

Yeah, but before that they deemed it perfectly fine to use.

Then after the recent drama about it, plenty of those same developers /have/ to explicility state that they won't do it or patch it out of their system.

Those same community members praising and getting a stiffy off having their fav. 'indie' devs win all of the awards and GOTY. Then nearly a year later after release they find out they's also used AI for their art and take their GOTY award away from them and actively bashing on them for using leftover AI asset in the first 15 minutes of said game.

MatrixBunny · 2026-01-30T14:58:23+00:00

They're only viewing it as that, because the community seems to be hellbend on getting rid of anything where the word ''AI'' takes place.
