Gearbox ruined RoR 2!

Stop this insanity!

Relaxing space mining sim with light story and management.

Disconnect simulator!

Really bad input lag and occasional stutters in both menus and game. The graphics are somehow darker and look worse than FX3 in some parts. The whole experience maybe besides the physics feels a step down from FX3. I understand the company needs to make money and can't give out the tables you already own for free on each platform but that's only justified if the platform is actually better not worse. The only thing I like so far about the new FX is the soothing menu music that actually quells my dissapointment.

I commend Zen for being able to port the tables to UE4 and kept the looks and physics consistent but the Unreal Engine has inherent issues besides presenting pretty graphics and this game suffers from them too.

A few improvements I would like to see are...
- Less input latency.
- Ability to set the render scale to 200% so I can have smoother graphics without blurry post processing anti-aliasing.
- FPS limit being a slider you can set from like 30-240 or something.
- Improve the looks and smoothness of the menus. They look bad and stutter right now.
- Reduce overall stutters during gameplay, camera movement and animations.
- Improve sound and positioning. Some tables sound pretty bad and the volume is all over the place.

Remove your broken bum-hole launcher you hypocritical SJWs working at Take Two/Private Division/2K!

Game is too buggy to enjoy on harder difficulties!

The stats shown are often lying to you, see hunters lodge showing it will bring in 16 food and when the hunters return you only get 0 or 7 if you're lucky. I had this happen with 0 hungry and enough food in storage. Also there are hidden mechanics and things going on where you're not getting informed, like no notification when people are eating/stealing raw food so you have no clue where your food is gone. The game should have a logbook where you can see what events happened during the day so you're informed about what is going on.
The wonkiness around the food system ruins games and I won't have any interest in Frostpunk 2 if this doesn't get fixed.

So where do I even start explaining all that is wrong with this game? For starters this game is very new-player unfriendly!

Declining the EULA required me to scroll all the way down and only then I could accept or decline. I declined cause I wanted to test out the game and check out it's single player content, also I don't agree with Capcom's EULA anyway.
I pretty much quit the game right after I managed to get into the main menu which took me about 15 mins, including a tutorial story segment and like 50 popups of information, challenges and ads...
The next time I started the game I had to scroll down the EULA again to be able to click decline! After a few times I accidentaly clicked accept and I was forced to enter a name without an option to back out or cancel. So I entered a name and boom without any confirmation questions a fighter profile was made on capcom's servers.
Now when I restarted, the game remembered I accepted the EULA and I didn't have to scroll down the entire thing. This shows me that you're borderline being forced to accept the EULA and make an online fighter profile just by the terrible menu design and inability to remember that you declined accepting the first time!

I couldn't find keybindings and button setup in options cause the menu's are a confusing badly designed mess. So the keybindings and other stuff I expected to be in options was in fighter profile if I remember correctly.

So to get to grips with the game and it's mechanics I wanted to do some more tutorials or basics, went to training where the only options is to practice against a dummy. Messed around a bit and was still confused about things like V-trigger, EX-moves, etc...
So it seems the tutorial section is under "challenges" which also doesn't make any sense. There you can view demonstrations and read explanations. So I watched some but watching everything gives you information overload so I watch and read some concepts, then I have to go back to the main menu and go to training to practice those concept to get to grips with them. Go back to demonstrations, back to training, etc... It would've helped if there was an option try out the mechanics in demonstrations or just add the demonstrations to the training mode. Nothing in this game design wise makes sense to me.

From youtube and other sources it seems combo's are a thing in this game, where in the game itself can I find info on them? The closest thing I found was the trials which challenges you to execute some combo's.
So I try to execute them and after initial success, I go back into training mode to replicate them only to find out I can't cause the commands are different for the same move than in the trial mode.
A textbox does show a warning that the commands might have changed, but that just means capcom is too lazy to update the trials to the updated commands, also that all the naming for the moves are japanese and there's no video or demonstration to show what the move looks. This doesn't help!

The terrible menu design, the constant popups and messages when you get in the game, the ads that show when a match start, together with the bad information and training tools that give you outdated combo's already destroyed any goodwill I had towards this game or Capcom in general considering fighting games.

Philosophy for the internet generation. Bonus puzzle game included!

Gamepad support is lackluster. There's still some weird builtin deadzone even with deadzone set at 0%. In essence it's impossible to configure steering on gamepad in such a way that it's gradual from the center position of the thumb stick. Moving the stick does barely anything and suddenly it steers too much, making driving unneccessary hard and unfun with a gamepad!
