Crime Boss: Rockay City Review (~Invitine~)
As an fyi my specs are:
CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core
RAM 16GB ddr4
GPU : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
So no clue as to why the game has performance issues ^
I wanna enjoy this game but there's a bunch of issues I have that ruins the experience for me so I made a list of things I noticed during my playtime during the playtest and release:
- steam launcher doesn't work
- mantling locks mouse movement
- no way to disable head bobbing or eye movement effects
- performance is horrible even at low settings, constant stuttering and no differences made when limiting fps (though it's noticeably not as bad as host)
- in-game hud has no drop shadow/ backgrounds so white text becomes hard to read in bright areas + restricted/ trespassing area text doesn't need to flash on the center of the screen every single time you enter that zone. maybe have a setting where you can disable the center popup + sound for it as the restricted area/ trespassing area is already shown on hud on the top right corner
- tab menu for bots, should have an optional setting where hovering over a selected bot for X amount of time auto selects it so you don't have to click each time
- swapping team members mid map causes stuttering
- any new action within a map will cause stuttering and completing the map and restarting/ selecting a new map will cause stuttering for every new action performed again
- no options for toggle hold/ press to hold for X amount of key press, every hold interaction requires you to hold down the button
- no way to rebind scroll wheel or make it so you can bind scrollwheelup and down to 1 button similar to how its done in most games.
- progression system is quite bad, you have no (real) choice on what you get per level up meaning with bad rng you won't get any good weapons etc
- character customization is very limited, no way to swap voices with different characters, viewmodel arms are incorrect and display wrong clothing/ skin tones (example would be 8ball)
- menu buttons overlap with scroll bars, and make clicking and holding scroll wheels annoying, clicking at the bottom of scrollable menus force you back to the top
- gun customization is quite terrible, you cannot mod weps the way you want them to be and if you want a wep with mods you have to hope for good rng from levelling up
- menu ui is generally confusing, you have to click customize to change boss appearance instead of it being in the character select menu
- in multiplayer add a button where you can just select up to 3 team member bots, instead of manually clicking each one individually, maybe also let you save presets so you can just add the ones you want with a click of a button
- tutorial is incredibly bare bones
- maps are deathly quiet with music disabled, npcs repeat the same voice lines constantly
- hitsounds are way too quiet maybe add optional dmg numbers. most of the time it feels like im not hitting enemies despite the hitmarkers
- lobby settings are not remembered after play sessions meaning you have to set it each time you select a mission (doesn't happen if you cancel a mission before starting)
- owning dlc instantly gives you the dlc weps instead of buying the weps which makes the progression feel really odd
- no sorting within menus, always forced by rarest first + no search bar
- skin preview screen could be better, maybe let me rotate the gun and see skins better?
- let me add weapon skins to the brick
- add always skip intro
- difficulty scaling on some maps are awful, enemy spam when you don't the weps or perks to deal with them (example being protect warehouse and money train)
- no way to disable flashbang tinnitus
- teamai will sometimes ignore indicators to bag loot and just stand in spawn doing nothing
- teamai in loud are incredibly unreliable and will get themselves killed constantly even for normal
- game forces you to peek from cover against your will when crouched and can leave you in bad situations
- perk menu ui is horrible, everything requires double clicking and constantly exiting in and out to swap perks per slot, let me just go in and press 1, 2 and 3 on my keyboard to equip them
- teamai wont bag loot as a team unless you manually select them, get 1 full bag then swap off them then indicate to make them do objectives but bots will still not move bags to the van
No stab at the game or developers BTW, i want the game to improve and i hope the devs see this and fix or change some or most of the issues i listed.
