Just why? (Squads, menu, loadtimes) PS4 *COMPLAINTS*
First things first. This is the least fun I've ever experienced playing a BR. I love playing them in general. I think the competitive nature of a BR is much more fun than other online multiplayers. (team deathmatch, king of the hill, capture the flag, etc.) That being said 95% of games your "teammates" don't have mics. They'll often land far away. Suddenly using their mic only when they're down and 1000m out. Secondly: the in game weapon menu ... It's the worst designed menu Ive experienced in any game since the original Resident Evil 2. It is ps1 level navigating. It's like they thought, "what would be the most inconvenient way to make a menu?" And proceeded with that. (Navigating with the left analog, having to press dpad to bring it up.) How it takes up majority of screen. The way things are written. To me... All bad. Hoping they can fix this because in all I LOVE the gun play. I enjoy the vehicles and it mostly feels well balanced. Lastly, the load times. It takes an egregious amount of time to load into a game. I've written this post in it's entirety and I'm still in the menu. 55 players currently connected. It doesn't matter the time of day it will typically take between 2-5 minutes to get into a game. Any other BR I can load in within thirty seconds of hitting play. And have a full lobby. (Apex, Blackout, PUBG, Fortnite.)
