Should I buy now?

[Dr. Hildegard Orgon]

the game is at -67% discount right now, however Ive read that the dlc is bad and that theyve ruined the base game. So is it worth it buying now or should I rather pass

[Ciaran Zagami]

The DLC is so bad its ruined the entire game

Basically multiple elements that were never meant to be tied to framerate got tied to frame rate, other code issues exists. Gear Box basically killed the game and broke it forever. Nothing short of a full return to a pre-DLC build of the game could save it.

IF you're not strapped for cash then you could buy it to your backlog and wait until the game gets fixed back up

Though if you're deciding between ROR2 and another game to play, pick something else to play while you wait

That does not sound good at all,
thank you for the responses, I will wait until the 10th (discount ends at 10th) for developer response. Should be enough time to adress the issues and deploy a bugfix

I cannot stress enough, it is not physically possible for all of the issues created in this update to be fixed by then. I loved this game to death but you'd find better use of that money buying a gallon of paint and watching it dry. At least least the paint would move as you expect it to.

[why i'm playing this...]

I have been playing risk of rain 2 for quite a long time (1.5 - 2 years), and although the release of the dlc disappointed me very much, the game itself, along with the Survivors of the Void, plays very well. Yes, sometimes you come across some absurd bugs, or, for example, an incorrectly working game associated with too high or too low framerate, but, to be honest, for me this does not have much effect on the gameplay (my average framerate is ~ 90). Today I closed 4 eclipse on half characters, yesterday I closed 3 eclipse on the remaining ones - there were no problems. I don't know what happens to the game now when you go to deep floors, but alternative game modes (where you don't have to play 5+ hour sessions) work fine. By the way, I highly recommend not buying the Seeker of the Storm dlc, it's not worth it at this stage.

no its ♥♥♥♥♥ now

I'd actually say that it's worth it if you're willing to downpatch.

I second this. The game, fundamentally, is still amazing. It's just the recent update that throws it down the drain. There's guides on how to downpatch to the last stable update and then you're good to go :)

[PSYCΦMMUnist]

No.

[Sad Bearish Hours]

At this point pirating an older version of the game is a better idea.

Don't buy it, a lot of bugs on it, completely disgusting

[Calculus]

Currently game is completely broken and they didnt made it possible to play on previous version, so if you want a playable product you can only find it on pirate sites

[Colonel Crossfire]

If you're willing to downpatch, yes. Otherwise don't bother.

BUDDY. the fps thing was most likely unintentional, a messy bug in the code. just wait for them to patch it oh my gosh
