Reseñas recientes de Rathis Of Tyr

It's extremely difficult to post an accurate review of game that crashes/freezes anywhere from 15-60 seconds after I load into the game world. While others have been able to run the game with only the server problems that have been reported to deal with, my best advice would be to advise extreme caution when getting involved with this game in its current state.
Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a good survival game... but I enjoy actually getting to PLAY the game.

The Rockstar Social Club, which is apparently required for the game to even run, consistently errors out (1014) and the game never reaches the main menu. I've looked up potential fixes for the game and allowed it though bypasses on both my Win 10 Ransomware and Firewall settings, but this did not solve the problem. I;ve wasted over an hour screwing with this game never mind the fact that it took me 16 hours to download it. Not worth the trouble, and I can't recommend it because of that.

This game has everything you could want from PUBG in a VR setting. There are only a few things that could make it better:

1. Need more players per match. Not sure if this is a software limitation or just not enough people own the game. This one is on the player base to improve.

2. Proximity Grab. I am strongly moving towards wanting this just flat out removed from the game. This element of the game allows you to walk up to another player and STEAL his weapon right out their hands. I call ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on this and its the only thing I will point towards the Devs to fix. Being second to a weapon drop being a guaranteed win because the player that got there first is busy loading his weapon is absolute garbage.

*UPDATE 2 NOV 18*
3. Hackers. As I have been climbing the ranks reaching the top 100 players, I have noticed an alarming amount of player BS that includes possible headshot or high damage hacks, see-thru foliage hacks, and speed/movement hacks. While this is expected to come with the territory with online play (doesn't make it right) the Davs have shown little or no interest in doing anything about it by allowing hacker or bug reporting. While it's entirely possible that it's out there and that I just havent found it, the fact that I've been looking and CAN'T find it is a problem. Plenty of other games with online multiplayer capability have a report system built into the friggin game... and even though I can't read the developers minds, it still seems to me like they don't care who hacks their game.

It's still a potentially great game and as long as it exists it kills PUBG for me. Hopefully the Developers will continue to work on it faithfully, unlike BlueHole who decided to put out a web app version before polishing the PC original. Fix the hacker problem and I'll likely return, but until then I'm done.

*UPDATE 11 OCT 23*
Cheaters seem to have dropped off except for the current #1 ranked player, DoctorMikey, who is a clear speedhacker (Yes I watched you move faster than other players from a concealed position), as well as a suspected wallhacker (followed me from the drop and ambushed me when I observed no one in my immediate area upon landing) and mid range aimhacker (full auto from over 100 meters and no misses? Nope).

Great addition to the game! Only downside is that you have to take a few liberties if you want to use these components to add the actual Vox Machina characters to your party, but it can be done with a little imagination and a few substitutions.

The portraits are kind of hidden among the long list already existing in the game, but they're easy enough to recognize. As for the voice packs just scroll down to the bottom of the list.

The only thing I would have liked in addition to this would be preconstructed "miniatures" to use in the game, but oh well.

I'm currently running with a version of Grog, Scanlan, Pike, and Vax... and I am loving every minute of it! The inter-party banter makes it worth having Vox Machina by my side!

Next DLC... bring forth... The Mighty NEIN!!!

F*ck this game.

Then trolls come in with derogatory comments and useless advice.
F*ck the people.

I WANT to enjoy this game... but it seems that I CAN'T enjoy this game.

First off, if you are not a fan games where you must die repeatedly in order to achieve success (like Dark Souls, for example) then you will likely not enjoy this game.

*Puts on tin foil hat* Also, every time I have something negative to add to this review Steam suddenly has a "problem communicating with the servers." *Take off tin foil hat*

[Play Area Restrictions]
As each match progresses, the play area is reduced in intervals and anyone caught outside slowly starts losing health (which, by the way, gets worse as the match goes on). While the idea looks good on paper, its execution (pun intended) is extremely harsh. Once the play area begins to constrict around its new projected field, it contracts so rapidly that you are completely unable to keep up with it on foot. Basically you have two options: Find a vehicle or stay ahead of the constriction. Sounds easy enough, until the Random Number Generator decided that you have to run 2 kilometers in under 3 minutes. Good luck... oh wait, you died. Nevermind.
*UPDATE* [3 Jan 18]
Nothing's changed here, the circle is still brutal and unforgiving. Simply put it is a means to limit the playtime of each match. Personally this seems to me like the vast majority of the player base just doesn't have any patience to play the long game. I'd still rather die in a gunfight than to nothing or no-one.

[Vehicles]
The transportation in the game is decent up until you start driving on hills. This is where either you luck with the RNG runs out again or the physics engine needs some work. Haven't quite figured out which it is yet, but anyways... if you try to jump a vehicle off a hill or a ledge, it will start rotating in a random direction that doesn't even make sense for the angle it left the ground. This happens less often with the heavier vehicles though, so at least they go that part right.
But to make things worse, the controls provided in game to adjust the vehicle in flight do not respond fast enough to correct this error. This is counter-intuitive with my previous point that the play area restrictions are too fast. You have to go full speed to keep up, and if you're stuck in a hilly area you might as well just kill yourself. Or quit. Yeah, quitting is faster.
*UPDATE* [3 Jan 18]
Nothing new here either. Several instances of flipping vehicles over the smallest of bumps. Advice for new players: Slow down, speed bumps ahead.

[Game Crashes/Not Responding]
*UPDATE* [3 Jan 18]
Had one crash since the game went Full Release, out of about 40 games or so.

[Hacker Handling]
It happens in just about every game to some extent, someone hates losing so much that they have to cheat or they do it just "because they can." Well, I've had 5 questionable deaths now (compared to the other 90 something where I know I got outplayed) that made me wonder how the hell the other player managed the feat. While I wansn't able to prove anything, I was still curious if I even COULD report a hacker. Well it turns out you have to go register to a third party web site which just so happened to crash every time I tried to register an account. Wonderful.
Also, the rate in which I seem to get loot-f*cked makes me wonder how some of these players are doing so much better than I am when it comes to finding good gear. Either they are the Developers and they're on a power trip or the top ranked players know the developers and are really good at brown nosing. Now 150 matches in and this theory hasn't been proven wrong yet.
*UPDATE* [3 Jan 18]
After having learned that there were over 1.5 million players banned for hacking/cheating AND the implementation of a death camera (THANK YOU) I have been religiously watching everytime someone eliminates me. The half second delay between what you see and what actually happens is a bit of a throw off but I have witnessed a few players using some kind of auto aim hack. Roughly 1 in 10 deaths look like the reticle is locked onto my avatar. The fact that so many people feel the need to "mod" the game is pathetic and creates a poor play experience. If I could I would summon the Terrible Terry Tate [Office Linebacker] to take care of each and every one of you.

[Glitches]
-HIT DETECTION: If i am aiming down my sight why the hell is my bullet making contact with a vehicle I am standing next to? So I'm trying to shoot someone with my muzzle shoved up my car's a$$? Come on. *UPDATE* [3 Jan 18] - No new instances, but (See Next)
-Bullet Penetration: There is none. There are planks of wood that will block your 7.62 rounds. Seems like an oversight to me. *UPDATE* [3 Jan 18] - Got worse. Now you can't shoot through fences or metal railings with 6 inches of clearance between the bars. Had a guy dead to rights with an SKS and 4x scope looking through a metal railing. *TING!* No damage. Had to get all the way around the railing.
***NEW*** Weapon Switching: There have been a couple games now since the Official Release where I am prevented from switching weapons, especially in critical situations. If I run out of ammo in my primary weapon and try to switch to my secondary instead of reloading SOMETIMES it will let me. At first it was because I had Aim Down Sight set to toggle and while I was aiming down the sight I couldn't switch. Okay, fine. They now have separate key binds for ADS and just Aiming, so I did that AND set ADS to Hold. Problem solved? Nope.

[Other Concerns]
-Aiming through Windows and other Openings: So, when you're trying to aim down sight though a window from a crouched position while adjacent to said window you don't always have enough height to see over the bottom of the window sill to actually see through. So you have to stand. I can't say if the developers designed the windows like this on purpose to force players to stand while aiming out of windows, but why would anyone want to do that? I disagree with this and would consider it a design flaw, because based on the height of the character models compared to most windows I should be able to stand on my knees and aim through a window without exposing too much of myself. As many times as I've been shot and killed from concealed positions I don't see this making a huge difference. I still won't know where the shot came from.
*UPDATE* [3 Jan 18] - Still not fixed. Also seems like other players CAN shoot through windows while crouched but I (or my teammates in squads) can not. Is there a secret pay wall for this ability that I don't know about?
-Doors: Can we PLEASE see an option to SLOWLY AND QUIETLY open a friggin door? I don't care if it take three full seconds, but having that option would be an improvement.
*UPDATE* [28 Nov 17] - No change, though this one is a request and not a bug.

**NEW** [16 Jan 18] WEAPON JAMMING/NOT FIRING
After the last update, I am experiencing increased instances of my weapons NOT firing when I pull the trigger (click mouse button). This has led to several deaths that could have been kills, and I don't know if it's actually a glitch or if it's the server lagging at just the wrong moment, or if there's a new hack on the market.

[PROS]
-First Person View Mode
-Free updates, no paid DLC
-Vaulting and Mantling is in, and it works great so far.

*UPDATE SUMMARY* [3 Jan 18]
Some things fixed, others stay the same. The game itself ins't bad. I still play it because I want to make it better... but the HACKERS just ruin what could be an otherwise great game. With about 3 million concurrent players and almost HALF that number of banned players, cheating is a MAJOR problem these guys are forced to deal with rather than focus on making the game better. So, for all you pieces of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that can't play the game without a hack running... congratulations! You still suck. You've ruined the game for me on top of everything else I have to deal with about this. If it were just the remaining glitches then I'd still recommend the game to others.
