It seems better set up for mass market success, and I support this for the sake of the devs, but for me personally when I read:
Most weapons thankfully use interchangeable ammo types across the class
minimap has been replaced with a compass permanently affixed to the top of the screen, pointing to nearby points of interest and quest markers
I can only think “mods will fix this”.
I’m not fussed about the minimap, I play with it off anyway. I might turn off the compass too if given the option, I like checking the PDA for directions.
The ammo though is a travesty to me. Maybe I’m overly sensitive but for me it’s such an immersion break, and these games thrive off of immersion. That’s the whole dang point! Interchangable ammo is such a “video gamey” thing that every time I loot a container and see “assault rifle ammo” I’m going to be pulled out of the zone mentally.
Can’t wait. Also really appreciate the fact that in my third world country it seems to be priced very fairly, instead of the usual “Original USD price converted + 20% more just because fuck you”.
