I don't like that the text is all fuzzy. I can barely read the text really.
At the settings I have now, TC:E looks like a PC port of a low poly Sony PSP game. I had better quality before.
I first wanted to try to play offline, I have no idea on how to run a server or anything, I didn't see a map list or anything, I could barely read the text for the box for the maps list! So I just launched the server and crashed! Haha, meh, not very user friendly , I guess.
And the iron sight sway is pretty ludicrous. I am standing still and when I press the RMB the rifle or pistol sways in various directions even though I am not moving. I tested it, by not moving and just tapping the RMB and each time a different animation would appear, swing the rifle this way or that way like some drunkard. LOL!
The letter box only enhanced my feel that I am playing a PSP, and definitely took me out of the game.
Meh, oh well.
I guess I'll play other games while waiting for a new version of TC:E.
EDIT: Ok, I tried to reset my graphics settings and it looks a little bit better.
But,man, I still can't get used to the letterbox and the iron sight swaying bob animation. It is really a total turn off. I see that they still have not increase mag count in the loadout, which sucks IMHO. Most of the servers I ping always ping in the 180 -190 range, which is very bad for a good experience in a tactical shooter. The graphics improvement, to me, is really underwhelming, as I only notice the dynamic lighting effect (which is sorelyu needed, and I love it), everything else still looks the same to me. Now I know I have a very critical eye, so I don't understand why I'm just not impacted by the graphics improvements. I think ifI'm not crazy I noticed the climbing animations. Players actually move in a way to climb up ladders. Maybe I'm crazy, but seriously, I just don't recall seeing this before.
I like that the map splash page shows the location where the map takes place. In strange, exotice locations in Russia opr Macedonia. That is a nice touch.
Anyway, I appreciate the hard work TT/G6 have done. But I have to admit, I am a little disappointed in the release quality after such a long dev cycle.
Again, I want to say thank, guys. I wish you guys luck, and have decided that I am going to stick around and wait to see what you guys come up with.
One thing, one very important thing....
Please do not lose sight of what makes good, tactical shooters fun, and please be more judicious when adding things like the letterbox which is now, not an option, but forced on the player.
Please, please.....in the future, please take into account suggestions from the community.
Please, guys.
I want so badly for this game to rock and kick ass....I even hope that someday in the near future I may asked to join the Dev team.
There is so much potential in TC:E.
But I feel that the direction and quality and asset management HAS to be reviewed in TT/G6.
Anyway, thanks for reading this.
Good luck, folks.
GG TT/G6 and TC:E community.
Rock on, my peoples.
