Malicious Payload

Oooh my, this is not good! So many things come together to ruin this experience. I can't tell what the ammo count is on my guns nor can I seem to manually reload nor is there any good indication a reload is happening or has happened. Second, the sound all seems muffled as if someone put cotton in my ears, making it very hard to tell where enemies are spawning. There is also no countdown or warning before enemies spawn, and I'm usually not ready. The angle of the guns is far too high, forcing me to hold my wrists at an almost painful angle to shoot anything. There is no smooth turning. That's all bad enough, but the worst part is the way the game slows down any time a bullet is near you, but that's so frequent that the game is constantly jerking between realtime and "bullet" time, and this would be incredibly annoying even in a flatscreen game, but in VR it feels ten times worse. This was one of the least enjoyable experiences I've had in a long time and should have been tested better before any kind of paid-for public release. Viveport Infinity subscribers are not your beta testers, and I feel like that's what we're becoming.
