And you came late into the boat Silva.
Now imagine what it was like for those who played during the beta, when the swamp was darker, your hand would shake for a little when you went for the iron sights, and you wouldn't hear the sound of a women for miles and miles.
And you could be killed by the AI when you were stuck waiting for other players to load. Ahh, great old times.
I like the majority of the changes made up to 2 years ago, as it made the game play way better, but recent changes push the game in a direction that does not look appealing to me at all.
A lot of characters (I'd even go as far as to say that the majority of the characters that I encounter while hunting) look like some comic book characters or characters taken straight from a cover of a crappy western novella. Everyone needs to have some dark coat and a dark scarf and project the darkness by their very posture. I think it crossed the line of autoparody now.
Gunslinger also seems to be the go-to control scheme nowadays, but you can stick with the classic if you want to (I still play like that).
The dev team seems to be working on expanding the longevity of the game by creating various seasonal events, without crafting any real new content sadly.
But come on - they introduced an exploding drone in one of the last updates. And people are defending this inclusion, by the looks of it. It's a short way from becoming another run-and-gun twitch shooter, but this time with a weird-west skin.
And I think that it will stay on this course, as it seems to attract new players this way.
