Does console still suck? Did it ever not suck?

>most of the new items are strong as hell
A lot of them feel shit though, like the ones that break when on low health don't feel strong enough to take them over any other item.

RoR2 a shit
Edit the permissions and give yourself the DLC for free. Someone better than I will probably be around to post the image tutorial on how to do it.

The DLC is fine. It's basically an official, polished content mod, except it actually adds new enemies and stages. (something mods struggled to do because there's no fucking documentation to help new modders; they just hear "ask the discord" nonstop.) The two new characters are shittily balanced. Railgunner is extremely overpowered, while the Void Fiend is fairly weak and punishes you for simply playing the game. Void items are a fun idea that weren't touched enough. They should have made a void variant for EVERY item in the game, or at least any item that can have one. It's not like it would be particularly hard, you can think of void variants for half of them within 5 minutes, and all it would take is a copy paste of the item then changing some values. (things like void buckler giving armor while standing still instead of sprinting.)
This DLC is the first official piece of content that was made by nu-hopoo, IIRC. (possibly anniversary update too, partially.) Since almost none of the new devs have worked on this game before, you can notice tons of mistakes they have left, and tons of shortcomings and missed opportunities.

For example, almost all of the lore logs were written by a single unpaid discordfag volunteer, and he intentionally decided to put memes into them. Sure, there were meme references in past official logs, but they were always just small nods and touches. The logs in this DLC are straight up 1:1 memes, for example the potion seller shit, or polylute having megalovania. On top of the memes, this discordfag is straight up a horrible writer, just read his log for the needletick. That's where the infamous MUH ORGANS meme came from. It genuinely reads like baby's first creepypasta.
In general this DLC feels very amateurish and unfinished. The new characters both have a selectable passive in the loadout menu, despite every other character not having a selectable passive. (except for acrid, who has an option to pick). The new enemies re-use acrid's particle effects, for example his bite and leap graphics. The Voidling is a giant fucking mess. His bossfight is barely engaging, each phase is essentially the same shit but +1 attack. The stupid forced parkour segment inbetween phases punishes characters or runs with no mobility. The fact that you take constant void damage during that segment is even more retarded. Let's not forget the fact that since technically voidling's arena is a hidden realm, captain's ENTIRE FUCKING KIT IS GONE. And stop giving us that bullshit "it's lore accurate!" excuse. If a fucking vending machine can be dropped from THE SAME FUCKING SHIP AS THE BEACONS into the void, then so can the airstrike and the beacons. Voidling gives you no real reward. No lunar coins unlike mithrix, obliterating or lunar scavengers. No void coins (they were cut but were implemented at one point and even teased). Not even a fucking ending cutscene, ffs. There was one as well, but it got cut. Instead you get an awkward fade to black, then a "fate unknown" except WOOAH the text is PURPLE THIS TIME!! Don't give hotpoo your money.

And some bonus thoughts I forgot to put into my posts:
- Void Locus (the stage before Voidling) feels like an afterthought, especially since the glass frog portal takes you directly to the boss. You literally just stand in more circles for 5 minutes straight, except this time you cannot leave the circle at all or you take increasingly ramping up void damage. Let's not forget the fact that that stage only spawns void enemies, and once the difficulty ramps up a bit, pretty much the entire circle will be filled up with reavers and jailers, which will spam the whole zone with instakill black holes.
- The simulacrum is advertised as one of the big points of the DLC, yet it also feels like an afterthought. There's no reward for playing it (there were cut skins originally). The gamemode is advertised as an "endless" mode, but anyone who knows this game and it's ridiculous scaling knows that there's no such thing as a truly endless mode. Every simulacrum run will end between waves 100 to 200, depending on how fast you progressed. Any more than that is literally impossible, since either nothing will spawn or the game will crash from the sheer amount of bullshit on the screen. But that's honestly more of a problem with the game itself, not just the gamemode. Also, fuck that fucking void hermit crab motherfucker for going through walls when migrating to a new spot.
- Void Fiend having no alt skills is insanely lazy. They claim it's because "he's technically two kits in one" but honestly both of the kits are almost identical. Woah, his M2 is now instant instead of charging up! Definitely better than an alternate skill! Woah, his shift has a slightly different angle! I'm glad all this dev time went into this and not into alt skills!

- Whoever designed Railgunner needs to be fucking fired. The fact that they made a character that can instakill the teleporter boss with no items on the first 3 stages is ridiculous. Let's not forget that her supercharge has a 3.0 proc coefficient. The new devs don't truly understand how overpowered that is.
Compared to shit like cloudburst, it's polished.

how the fuck do you have 800 hours but not all achievements, are you that much of a shitter?
It's not even like you're just missing a few tedious ones, you're still missing some 50, how have you not gotten that many passively?
