Platform-Exclusive Weapons

[AmazeeLuck]

This post is not about the preorder bonuses in general. Please go to another thread for that.
I want to talk specifically about weapons exclusive to two platforms. Steam gets the TF2 Sentry Gun (shoots bullets and rockets) while Xbox One gets the Joanna Dark weapon (looks like a cross between minigun and airstrike).

I already decided I am preordering on Steam. Easy choice when you don't have an Xbox One. I just want to say it's really silly how because these two platforms have an exclusive weapon you can never have both weapons in the same scheme. Do we need to preorder both versions for the full experience? Even if you did, you wouldn't be able to adjust both weapons in the same scheme because they are restricted to their own platforms.

That isnt complete fault of Team 17. Valve and Microsoft would never allow for the two weapons to be on other platforms, while Team 17 could've left them out so everyone could have the same weapons, personally I'd prefer the two weapons being exclusive rather than not having them at all.

Yes, that is the problem with exclusive stuff in games. The plan is probably to release the exclusive stuff as DLCs later, but if not then it's sad.

If we can create unique weapons in the game by combining stuff with the crafting system then I don't really care that much. Except for the dubstep gun which is too cool to pass up imo, and of course kamikaze which imo should be in the base game.

Hey AmazeeLuck,

Whilst we would have loved to have them available across platforms these characters are owned by Microsoft and Valve like Σlovator said. We're just super grateful that they got so involved with creating some nice extra content. They we're really cool to work with and I'm pumped with what we achieved.

I understand you can't have their IPs on every platform if they don't want it. It's amazing enough that you could get that many things in W.M.D.

This is just a question not a request but are you allowed to add functionally identical weapons with original names/graphics/sounds? Like if platforms missing weapons got a "Boggy B minigun strike" and a generic sentry gun that shoots similar rockets and bullets. That would allow everyone to enjoy the same gameplay some time after release while keeping the special look of these weapons exclusive to people that preordered.

That's an interesting idea. I'll be sure to feed it back to the team. Thanks for your feedback

Bump. Was there ever an update on this? The gameplay needs to be kept the same between all consoles.

Bumping again, are you able to update on this @Danny?

Don't waste your time bro. Danny hasn't been online in over a year and nobody from Team17 as far as I know has directly addressed ANY questions in a very long time. I haven't seen anything from Danny, Jonno, or anyone else in ages.

*shrug* I'll keep my negative review up I guess

You're leaving a negative review simply because there isn't a platform exclusive super weapon on the PC version? That's kinda dumb, don't you think?

I also went through 7 or 8 pages of your reviews and 90% of them are negative and of the ones you did leave a positive review for, I think the most play time you had in ANY of them was just above 4 hours total. Many of your reviews are made with barely any play time at the time of review and your positive reviews, on average, have about 2 hours total of playtime... so what gives? Are you just a troll or something?

edit: just went through all 22 pages of your reviews and almost all of them are negative, oftentimes with you having 30 minutes or less of gameplay total, or complaining about something minor, while calling devs 'scummy' or 'cucks.'

Of the games you did leave a positive review for, most of them have hardly any play time and of the ones you have a decent amount of play time in, they're almost all huge AAA titles.

CSI Skunk has turned you over good man. I'd seek legal advice quick.

Bold of you to assume I care.

I don't care if you care or not lol... I just think it's funny that you have left dozens of negative reviews for games based upon hardly any play time and often because of silly, petty reasons. xD

That's cute, ig.

[UltraViolent]

He's right though. You've dedicated large chunks of your life to negatively reviewing games that you've barely scratched the surface of.

Maybe you could branch out into a YouTube channel reviewing super cars that went passed you at high speed?

Yeah yeah, Skunk is right, I said it. But even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
