Devs started making changes that killed a lot of fun to, presumably, appeal more to CoD players. Some of the balancing decisions also made a lot of the guns a bit less exciting to use and made most of them essentially the same thing. The two most popular classes (medic and sniper) have been nerfed to oblivion. It feels like they are trying really hard to curate a very specific experience, and that seems to have burned out a lot of people or driven others away.
Personally, I think they should have leaned harder in the direction of more realism and rewarding creativity.
Sniper and Medic are the peak COD classes though. Assault rifles/SMGs with infinite self-heal or sitting somewhere back one-shoting people.
I felt the game move away more from COD since not everyone is running Medic with Vector. Also Sniper and Medic are still the most popular classes, so they were certainly not nerved into oblivion.
Honestly I just wish I could freeze updates to games that are playable offline. It’s so frustrating when I’m playing a single player game with no problems then an update happens and I have to break my mods because steam forces me to update.
Except as soon as it realizes an update is ready it will make you update before you can play. The only way to stop it is to stay in offline mode all the time so that it doesn’t check for updates to your games.
All the auto update disable does is keep it from automatically doing the update but it’ll still force you to update.
This simply means that Capcom games (sadly) have to disappear from my wishlist, and instead they will appear on my treasure map now, which charts a course through seven seas.
Completely failing to do anything about stopping the piracy because all of these games have been pirated already, but punishing paying customers with shitty DRM? Brilliant!
It’s excellent and hilarious. I lost it at the lyrics(?) of the knockoff anime song. The actual gameplay is quite enjoyable. I still have to go back and do that free dlc update.
Look at the Steam news section for rdr2. They pushed out a few minor updates with timed bonuses for online play over the past year.
That's it.
Pretty sure Deep Rock or No Mans Sky has had more and more impactful updates
I was considering picking up Stadium and Standium 2 on my SteamDeck, having already bought them on Switch.
But it turns out I have other convenient DRM free options to play my purchased Capcom games on my SteamDeck. I make it a point not to send money in support of DRM bullshit.
