TDU2 has been crap thus far, I think we can all agree to that to come extent. I think a few things go into that.
We know Atari weren't financially stable enough to give us the TDU2 we all wanted, and we were right. We did not get everything we wanted. Also, we all had high hopes and held TDU2 to an extremely high standard before it was even released. Thus, we were let down. That is not to say that things cannot improve.
How long you ask? I voted for the third option. With Eden's "list" of things to do, it seems as though TDU2 has the potential to become vastly improved. If Eden actually follows through with their plans is something that is still up in the air. If I were a betting man, I would bet on being let down once again. If there were ever a time I wish I was wrong, that time is now.
The DLC must be better, the sounds must be better, and the damage must become optional. I honestly feel that leaving out any of the three of those vital components will spell failure.
TDU2 still has potential, let us hope Atari/Eden see this as well.
