Onward Review (G.I.DAVE)
As a long time lover of this game, I am seriously conflicted about a thumbs up or down here.
I want to give it a thumbs up, just because it really is the best VR milsim you can play right now.
On the other hand, I played this game before they broke it to allow a broader range audience. It has never been the same.
There ARE updates, but the raging problems like sharpshooters that can snipe you through rocks, or they seem to "shoot from thier elbows" and they break the plane of cover..or literally shooting you when thier backs are turned.
Add to that they still have not added the ability to reload a grenade launcher.
But BY FAR..the worst thing this has going for it is the way the server is handled. If I create my own server, I can't kick anyone without a vote. With the influx of "squeekers" or little kids that scream and play this like COD RUINS my experience. You can even try to ask them, "hey, can you leave?" They wont..you start the game..then they waste your whole squad and leave the server.
There is SO MUCH RIGHT with this game, yet so many simple things for the player experience WRONG. the AI is so...broke..it is either way too easy, or nearly impossible.
Mercenary mode is a decent idea..but once again..get to the 4th mission and sharpshooters will waste your whole team, even if you do everything right.
Not a huge fan of the PvP aspect..im more into the squad vs AI mode, and while I still play it..there are times I just shake my head and shut it off.
Until I can control the server I make to kick out bad players, and other simple fixes are made, I have to thumbs down this one.
I would recommend TA VR, but that is WAY worse with the kids killing everyone in the lobby. Fix the way I can control the server I make. The vote system is fine, but the HOST SHOUKD BE ABLE TO KICK.
