    In grounded, you feel small, and that you shrunk but not the world around you. But Smallland feels like a new dimension with bugs larger than normal, and the environment being random sizes at times. Some plants in Smalland are what they would appear like at normal hight to the player, while everything in grounded is still as big as it would normally be. Grounded is if you want to experience being shrunk and having to survive, Smalland is if you want to explore a new world of insects and plants.

    Smalland is not 75% complete. You can only get 1 of the 4 Clover Keys currently. Which says to me there is much more to come. Grounded is more Sci-Fi. Smalland is a grander fantasy adventure. The games, outside of being a tiny person, are two different games. Both are great in their own right. This comparison people keep making is a moot point really.

    The Coaltana is also a third type of tower defense in grounded now. It used to let you just collect the sword like a blueprint but now you must defend in an area you cannot build in with just yourself and what you know about sizzle to win. It also counts for unlocking the mutation Guard Dog, I did that mission first and unlocked it there before doing any of the mixers.

    First time viewer for your channel, Milton. This was an excellent and very informative video, well done. I did however wish to point out, that I had difficulty figuring out most of what you were saying at first, and it required lots of concentration and focus on my part to understand you. Thank God I remembered that TH-cam provides us with the ability to slow down video speeds. You were much easier to understand when I put you at 75% speed. I still found some of your words would run into the next one without a pause or break, but changing the video speed definitely helped.

  • @Grizzlewood
    @Grizzlewood ปีที่แล้ว +111

    When you have played as much Grounded as you have, sure the combat is probably boring but for someone new? The combat is way better than you made it out to be. Having to learn timings on the bugs and the actual difficulty is so much fun and also extremely rewarding when you get the parries down. Small land combat feels like a slog and so far I haven't found it rewarding. One thing I noticed as well is Grounded actually makes you feel small, the ambiance just makes the game much scarier than it might look. Smalland lacks this in every way for me and it's nothing to do with early access, Grounded felt like this on day one. I do like the mounts in Smalland though and the ability to play with more friends is nice, it's just very far off right now. Different games imo, I get more og rpg vibes from Smalland and when I am done and dusted with Grounded I will still play it with friends.

      Grounded combat is horrible, 0 skill expression you either play like the game horseshoes you to play or you cheese, there's 0 dodging involved, if you don't block you get hit no matter if the insect is 10 feet away as long as it has aggro on you they become heat seeking missiles, I haven't played small land but I've played plenty of survival games and grounded combat is one of THE worst I've ever experienced it honestly doesn't entice me to play the game more as I progress, I did 2 labs so far and I'm already thinking about quitting because combat just becomes a juggling act of attack block and die in one hit, It's one of the most on-rails survival game out there if can even be called survival, it has cool things like the scanner stuff and it has a pretty aesthetic going for it but there's not even any shortage whatsoever of food or water ever in the game so that goes out the window too, it's more of an annoyance than anything the hunger/thirst system on this game lol

    Looking forward to getting Grounded in the future (Out of context that would sound a bit odd to say). I have Smalland, and I love it so much. Even thought it's early access I feel like there is so much to do. Lot's of weapons to get, armor to make, and materials to find to construct a base with. Building is so enjoyable, and upgrading to wood from leaves, and then to stone from wood feels so rewarding. It's a great game to play with friends as quite a few people can join at once. Really a gem of a game, I highly recommend Smalland. If Grounded is as fun as Smalland I will not be disappointed.

Your not entitled to make every decision with a game just because you want it to be a certain way. Things in grounded obviously got nerfed because the game creators did not intend to make certain things the way they were in the first place. People always make excuses when it's a pve game so it doesn't matter if things are overpowered. But honestly it does matter. It's basically like trying to say balancing doesn't matter. Just throw it all out the window. As it is most fights in grounded is trivia as it is and most people get upset about nerfing something that made fighting a joke.

      They do listen. To the loudest set of players. Usually, the loudest are the minority. Players who are happy and content don't tend to comment or say "hey, I like your game." Instead, they are just playing it.
      That's why you find this happening. You need to be sure to provide that feedback, so that the loudest group isn't the vocal minority.
      It's the same reason so many things have tons of negative reviews, few positives. You sold a million units and have 5000 bad reviews. That seems like a lot when there are only a few hundred good ones. Until you consider the percentage of owners vs reviews.
      90% of your playerbase hasn't complained. That's a good indication the game is good to me.

    This has nothing to do with either game but honestly my favorite game for base building is Raft. Building your raft and expanding it actually has a purpose and is made possible as you progress and can make more items. When your raft is finally fully tricked-out with engines, fuel delivery lines, water pumps, reservoirs, auto sprinklers, farms and a full kitchen you feel good. It's not required that you fully trick everything out with all the different paints and stuff but the option is there if you want it.

    I'll say it. They are literally 2 different games only deemed similar by the "small or shrunk" appearance.

Mutations barely improved but were a cool concept. Building is frustrating yet possible. Combat is somewhat better with perfect blocking. Water is not an instant death. The story is decent and reminiscent of a popular movie. Upper yard and late game is severely rushed and just loaded with parkour and insects. There are many more but that's the idea.
    Smalland with only being in EA for a week has many different positives and negatives. Character customization, mounts, weather, more insects, more bosses, and better co-op with up to 10 total players. Base building is much better, and your bases can be moved seamlessly on the great trees. Most buildings on the ground are used for just spawn points. Combat is better but needs improvement. There are foods and potions that add certain buffs. Also, there are many more, but that's the jist.
    It all depends on whether you want a fully released (yet unpolished game) that has better backing and is more in line with survival OR a survival game that is less polished but has potential which is more akin to an MMO or Valheim style.

      You need better food. You can get food that literally stops the meter from depleting for 15 minutes. That's half a default day cycle.
      If you don't use the food more, you actually have very little to do in the game.

    I certainly agree that need to add more to character stats and so on. While to maintain itself as different it should be more stats on armor pieces to give each one its own use. to make all craft able armors more usable. It does feel like the comfort system isn't really half complete. The hunger bar gives you a buff when its over a certain amount. Comfort should do the same.

    • @RodneyG669
      @RodneyG669 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'd like to see armor balances better, Ironwing is awesome, but shouldn't give so much cold protection, Regal armor should have a better glide for distance, because the Ironwing suit is metal.
      I'd also like to see a reason to use different sets, I went from padded straight to regal then to Ironwing, I had zero interest or use for any of the other armors.

    0:20 It doesn't follow that because development of one game started before the other, that game didn't rip off any ideas. It looks to me like a lot of specific models e.g. turrets and bug species e.g. stinkbug were first added to Grounded and then Smalland ripped them off.
