I keep firing up this game from time to time to try the new stuff, having said that, there's 2 things I absolutely cannot stand with this game :
- The loading times are ATROCIOUS, truly horrible stuff that takes me back to to PS360 era.
Starting up the game ? Shit, it's 35+ seconds which after that, it's another 15+ to start/load the mission.
What, you got kicked out of the squad for whatever reason? Tough luck, that's another 20-30 seconds to take you back to the lobby.
Finished a mission ? Here, have another 15+ seconds until the game boots you up to the lobby.
It's something that completely takes me out of the game and actively deters me from playing it most of the times, WH Darktide is much better when it comes to this.
- Sound production/mixing : put it simply, shit's borked, there's no "oomph" to anything, steps are super loud, mice crawling through the backgrounds are very audible and yet, chainsaw revs are almost inaudible, weapons feel weak and as soon as you start a skirmish everything turns into a jumbled cacophony of sounds between the voices, explosions that sound like a bag of popcorns, anemic weapon sounds etc etc.
Got a soundbar a couple of weeks ago and after giving the new update a try it made me think that - I shit you not - there was something wrong with my soundbar...
In game options (stereo/5.1/7.1) do fuck and all about it as do the various EQ presets on the soundbar, besides, it's the same exact shit no matter if you play using a soundbar/speakers or headphones, the game is just horribly mixed, no 2 ways about it.
