Supposedly Take Two forced Gearbox to rush the DLC under threat of funding cuts.
I don’t think I can list all of the bugs (because the list is 3x longer than the patch notes), the game is essentially unplayable for most people- including Russians who got rug pulled on the day of release by having the entire game region locked without warning.
Regional pricing is also marking up the DLC as more expensive than the game itself. Regional pricing was very quickly fixed.
Now the game is getting review bombed and lots of people are just refunding &/or down patching since the game is broken even without buying the DLC.
Kinda bummed about this. Even the original coder for the game came out and admitted they butchered it.
RoR2 is one of my all-time favorite games, just a masterpiece of coding, art design and extremely addictive gameplay. It sucks ass how badly Gearbox butchered it, but yeah the general consensus is that suits rushed the development process and now one of the best roguelikes ever made is almost unplayable. Like ffs the final boss’ AI glitches out and he becomes invincible so you can’t even beat the base game currently. All signs so far point to them investigating the bugs and actually fixing shit eventually but that could take months based on what modders have discovered about the new code. Another causality of the slow painful decline of the mainstream gaming industry in capitalist hell
Do they not allow reverting to previous patches?
There are third party tools that let you do that, not officially supported though. So yeah you can revert the game to its previous fully functional state at least. Just a shame it doesn’t work properly out of the box atm ya know? It’s a hassle
