This game costs like 20 eurodollars on eneba, anyone played/playing it? I'm itching for a tactical shooter and this one looks like it's gonna scratch that itch. It also looks really good imo. So, what's the catch?
That the devs went retard mode and censored the game for console audiences (and instead of keeping it in a console build it affected anybody)>like whatLike things representing policemen who handle actually serious cases have to witness, such as a baby dying from overdose in a crack den or female human trafficking victims being actually naked, or certain material related to Epstein type shit.
I'm kind of sad i never got to play this game before they downgraded it for consoles. It's tragic to see what happened. Reminds me of how what happened to Onward VR. Just an important lesson to learn about whenever a developer does this: they never reverse their decisions. They take the money and run, then burn the bridge with their community. It's the same thing i saw happen to one of my favorite VR games. Once they get that lucrative kind of deal then it's over. https://imgur.com/a/kczVUAF
>>719947291these images do a very poor job of communicating just how drastic and widespread the visual downgrade is. I can barely tell the difference between many of these shots. The two different FOV's don't help, whoever made this is retarded
>>719946789modded swat 4 is still better
>>719947674>barely tell the differenceAre you fucking blind? at least you can spot it here. I'm assuming you've seen it since you said you went through the shots.
>>719947291There's a fattranny repack of the original unpatched version that's still available.
Why can't we get a police simulator that will ACTUALLY show the dark side of police work without any bullshit? Like how much resolve and self-control a SWAT policeman needs to have to put up with what he has to deal with sometimes - kicking the door and just seeing all kinds of horrible, messed up and twisted things then knowing that even though you have a human monster lying on the floor defenceless and at gunpoint with your finger on the trigger, your job is only to hand him over for a trial that may not even get the right result. Feel like devs have to pussyfoot around it and just have you shooting generic drug gangs or wannabe terrorists.
>>719949393>I want to experience only the negative experiences of being a police officer but not really lolKind of defeats the purpose of video games (entertainment), assuming you're not an edgy 14 year old with a crack addicted single mom who resents your existence.>tl;dr I'm calling you a mentally ill child with no capacity for problem solving
>>719946789>So, what's the catch?Unreal Engine tier performance. Have fun seeing texture pop-in and experience microstutters on a 4080. The AI is also ... not great.
>>719949950Yes I do want a police simulator that doesn't pussy around with the subject
>>719946789I pirated it, its ok maybe better with some fun mods or with a group of friends I wouldn't pay money for it
Paid for it before the censorship patches, fortunately you can mod some of the stuff back inGood with friends, worth it if you've run out of SWAT4 maps to play>>719949393>kicking the door and just seeing all kinds of horrible, messed up and twisted things then knowing that even though you have a human monster lying on the floor defenceless and at gunpoint with your finger on the trigger, your job is only to hand him over for a trial that may not even get the right result.Wasn't this basically just the final level, Hide and Seek?>CLOSE. THE. DOORS.Plus all the other levels building up to that, I would've said RoN did a pretty good job of that before they removed the crack baby and gave people underpants
>>719951985Wait, is it single player? I thought it was multi
>>719952204RoN has singleplayerIt has a Commander mode where you control a team of bots, sort of like SWAT4
>>719952116>fortunately you can mod some of the stuff back inLook at the games file size cut in half, it's confirmed shit and you can't fix it. Censorship is one thing, crippling the whole game for consoles is another and should have been the bigger topic of the controversy.
>>719952260But isn't it more popular for the multiplayer experience? That's what i thought but seems like i was mistaken
>>719952370>We downgraded the graphics to 2005Kek
>>719952413Tactical shooters are pretty niche, most of the popular/best entries have good singleplayer on top of good multiplayer to get byIt's definitely a lot of fun coordinating with friends but you can also have a good time with the bots, the game has a comprehensive command and inventory system so you can kit your guys and tell them to breach rooms the way(s) you want them toThough in RoN's case the AI got gimped alongside everything else, it's serviceable most of the time but it used to be better
>>719951985I'm surprised no one made a bodycam mod and turned this into a mass shooting simulator
>>719946789Id rather play project Nortubel
Steam should let you refund regardless of play time after shit like this.Thank god I didnt buy the DLCs.
>>719946789>eurodollarsEither OP is a globalist or he has been playing Cyberpunk lately
>>719946789The bots make it unplayable, I was promised gritty and realistic police experience. What I got was a feminist witch shooting at me with full auto m14 0.5 second after she sees me while running as I can't even ADS faster than her or even run to cover. It's bullshit. How come in the era of AI hype? All Game devs absolutely shits the bed when it comes to AI programming?
>>719953283This. I'm actually really fucking mad at VOID and hope they get ass cancer and aids.
>>719952583Should qualify everyone who bought Ready or Not a full refund. No questions asked.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE1Sf-x5FZASteam needs to look into changing this policy imo.
>>719952668Lol, you're a tranny faggot
>>719954807Tactical shooters aren't niche?
>>719946789Was great before 1.0 and could easily become a modern swat 4 but they fucked it all up
>>719955101It was never good. The AI was terrible from the very beginning.
>>719955005Just like cutting off your dick
>>719956541Cutting your dick off isn't niche?
>>719951985Stop posting that webm as if we can still do that. You can't even blow heads off anymore. It just turns into a stupid canoed face model.
>>719956767CUT MY DICK OFF INTO PIECESI AM A WOMAN TOO
>>719957314pirate an old version of the game then, its not illegal if you've bought the game :^)
>>719957513I'm happy for you I guess>>719957314The mod does restore that at least
Game is tarnished forever unless you play old builds with friends, but you can forget about doing anything online now.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pkp_b4nOjR4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrqZ9A9hVpISome people on the forums keep defending how this apparently the biggest subversion ever seen by a developer.>uh.. the devs said it was a compression issue>it will all be solved in an update! yeah that will fix everything!>they just need to figure out how to bring higher quality textures in an update...>it doesn't matter if certain aspects of physics are missing>it doesn't matter if the environments are being simplified and removing the amounts of objects in them>it doesn't matter if the lighting is being downgraded>it doesn't matter if the destruction was downgraded
>>719958028Woops wrong video on the first one. That's not before and after console update. Someone needs to document it better, but the second one there will illustrate some changes.
>>719957524Even the version of the game directly before the update has the stupid canoe face thing. The person's head just instantly turns into a bald black person with no face. It looks fake as fuck compared to the 1.0 head popping. 1.0 also had skeletons inside NPCs and you could expose bone with shots from non-dismembering guns, like assault rifles.>>719957790>The mod does restore that at leastI don't think it does. It just re-enables post mortem gore, which is still the stupid canoe face thing instead of exploding heads.
>>719958283I did check as soon as the mod came out but it has been a while so I'm not 100%, might be worth checking again
>>719952878>https://www.nexusmods.com/readyornot/mods/2634There’s loads of mods that do bodycams. They were like the first category of mods minus skins when the game released and people could start modding it.
Do not get it now. At one point it was great. Devs brought it to console and fucking ruined it. Now it looks like a PS3 game, performs like shit, and they censored the fuck out of it.
It's utterly bizarre how unwilling the devs were to do even a minimal amount of coding to preserve features in the PC game. You just know that the gore thing is a simple switch they could have made toggleable for PC version.
>>719946789>That imageWhat sort of situation is this trying to convey other than swat and terrorists?11 cops bunched up in front of a large opened gate, none of them in any cover other than behind a riot shield, they are all in direct line of fire. Two taking aim at the baddies, the rest at the floor or standing idle.4 terrorists who just appeared (?) with civs strewn about the staircase. Almost looks like they either released a bunch of civs to the cops or snagged one in front of them.Seems like an all style no substance title image.
>>719948131I can't see a difference. Maybe lower your gun next time, stand in the same place and have the same fov settings.
Glad that I didn’t waste money on this shit
>>719959225>It's utterly bizarre how unwilling the devs were to do even a minimal amount of coding to preserve features in the PC gameIt's what i described when Onward was a PCVR game. In that scenario the developers got a lucrative contract to bring their game to quest hardware and then punished everyone with PCs and completely transformed the game. Developers are willing to throw you under a bus as soon as they reach success like that, as soon as they realize that they don't need their PC numbers anymore basically. You have to learn that developers and publishers alike aren't your friends, and you should never treat them as such. They're assholes willing to fuck you over at any minute and that's how they should stay from your perspective.
>>719959659>I can't see a differenceThere's less foliage for one. So you are blind. It doesn't matter about the distance or FOV because you can visibly see how it was lessened and culled basically. In case it's not clear, it's done for performance. Because consoles are likely to struggle.
>>719959263Every render they made after their original creative director left is just retarded. There's zero logic or thought put into them.
>>719946789>enebaI'd be wary of that site. Got scammed 15 euros from them because they sold me a duplicate. Opened a ticket with paypal to get a refund and it got denied.Only key selling site I trust is cdkeys (now rebranded to loaded)
>>719946789The devs are pieces of shit that don't deserve any support at allWhen the 1.0 update removed a bunch of extra modes you could play everyone should've learned then not to trush voidFuck them
>>719963409>downgrading graphics>removing features and modesAre they being pressured to do this or did shit just not work properly or something?
