All the haters can keep on hating.... all the complainers can keep on complaining. I originally had some sympathy for their plight, tried to present some suggestions or solutions to make the game work more to what they want....
.... But now I couldn't be fk'd what they want or don't want, I don't care if all you RO1 Vet Moaners never play RO2 again and I hope Tripwire ignores your petty & childish crying.
Cpt-Praxius, your sympathy is not needed. I guess, nobody complaining here wants the sympathy of anybody on this forum. They far more want the game that they thought they were buying!
What surprises me is that you claim that you loved the game during its mod days much more than when it became the OF 41-45 release. You actually said that you liked the mod more because it was more immersive and OF 41-45 was dumbed down from the mod. I even agree on that a bit, because I think that OF 41-45 was a bit simpler but only in a slight, acceptable way.
What I then don't understand is that you are so convinced of RO 2. Because as far as I see it, RO 2 is far more easy (some call it accessible) and dumbed down than RO-mod or OF 41-45.
I still say that RO 2 is a diamond in the rough. It has all potential to become the super awesome game that I thought it will be. But this requires a lot of finetuning. Finetuning that I understood wouldn't be needed when listening/reading how the game was advertised. And I am not talking about bugs or performance. I am talking gameplay mechanics.
Nobody and I mean, nobody, including "=7Cav=OIFVET101" a real US veteran with combat experience in Iraq is able to run 100meters, pull his gun from his shoulder, aim, shoot and hit a target 150m away with a 99% accuracy All that in 1 second. This is portrayed in RO 2 and it's bollocks.
Again: sway might be unrealistic in a certain way, but it leads to realistic results in the game when it comes to accuracy.
More and more people are picking up the game, whom never once played RO before, and I even provided a post listing a number of threads from the Steam forums (which has far more RO2 haters than in here) from all the new players to RO and the greater majority of those who just started playing RO2 actually love it, are addicted to it, have no serious issues with the game and are looking forward to new content.
Are you counting all the 900 of them? Deduct the around 10 guys I played with yesterday, that I know from OF 41-45 and from the mod days. Deduct me as well. I am playing because it's the only shooter I have interest in. It's far from perfect. As a matter of fact, it's close to perfect, but with some flaws that would be so easy to eraze to make it perfect. Some small changes and tadaa, here we go. Up to now, this is not delivered. And it looks like most of the players that purchased the game also don't like it for a long time. Or are you trying to say that except the disappointed VETS (stupid description imho) the majority of buyers like the game as is?
That's what tripwire needs.... more new players who enjoy the game as it is, so they can quickly flush the rest of the self-entitled RO1 Vets out into a distant memory.
Yes, true. They really need to find more players that love the game as is and who are willing to stick with it. Looks like they are not numerous, to keep it in nice words.
It's not like they're contributing anything to the community anymore other than complaining things aren't the way they want them & constantly spam every thread with the same old complaints over and over again, as if they'll make any sort of difference.
This is such a stupid statement mate. People are complaining and suggesting, BECAUSE THEY DO CARE. They want to enjoy RO 2 which they can't at the moment. And they want more people to enjoy it, so that they have somebody to play with in 12 months or more. And OF 41-45 had more players 3 months after release than HOS has now. Believe me. I was there.
The impression people have is that their complaints are not taken seriously as dev statements regarding this are rare. I totally agree with you that some people could bring up their criticism in a more decent way, but I am not the one to point that out or comment on it.
Performance is almost fully optimized, just need a few tweaks here and there and then all the new content can be added..
Granted for me at least. My system seems to be fully utilized now, performace wise. I am not complaining about this anymore.
once the new content starts coming into the game, the masses will follow.
I doubt it, we will see.
Forget what the doom and gloom'sayers say, they don't know wtf they're talking about.
And this statement is just stupid. I think that most of the guys complaining do exactly know wtf they are talking about. They probably play the game longer than most others here, participated in the beta and have been more valuable on feedback to TWI than you and me will ever be. I am talking about guys like Zetsumei, hockeywarrior, LemoN and bswearer (last 2 guys some probably only know from stories).
The thread title shouldn't be "Why RO2 Failed" it should be "Why the RO1 Vets Failed".
This is just insulting. As much insulting as it is that your posts are getting downvoted the whole time, no matter the content.
RO2 has already been more successful than RO1 and it's only a couple of months old & no mods yet.... which means it has plenty of time to become even more successful.
No I am not a developer for Rising Storm, nor do I have any contact to them or insight knowledge on their team. But I am pretty sure that they are worrying quite a bit if their efforts are going to pay out, given the disappointment and rage that they have read in this forum and elsewhere. And based on the steam stats, I am very certain that they are worrying to produce their MOD for 900 active players (granted, make it 3000 players recognizing time zones etc.).
I will surely not buy Rising Storm out of the blind. I will wait to see what friends I trust say about it. No pre-order and no blind purchase. I know it's not fair to that dev team, but experience has taught me a lesson.
Regardless of what the RO1 Vets want to moan about, RO2 can only go up from here.
That's very true. It's hard to believe that they will make it even worse, communication wise, design-choice wise and gameplay wise.
I stay with what I said before: the game still has all potential to become "THE FPS". If only some of the choices would have lesser to none impact, it would be this way.
And as much as I think that you have every right to write down that you love the game, give that god damn right to everybody with another opinion.
