I don't think you are being over dramatic. I think a lot had high expectations of a crew that didn't have millions to fund their project. They put heart into it. Far from perfect. But a lot of games lately cater to people. This game does not hold hard in the beginning. I had to figure a lot out. I barely started mine this morning.
I was having the same exact issues! It’s all early access so obviously we we throwing our opinions up for the game to improve! We were all excited for this game. 1. Missing Tools in your hand, and no toggle for it to be put away. The fact that you can’t break things just by hitting them without pressing a button is time wasting for speed runners. 2. Low resources. I agree, and even after the tutorial the resources are hard to come by and tricky to learn how to harvest what you need. 3. Confusing crafting options for EVERYTHING. 4. The storage is small but i’m pretty sure it gets upgraded when you advance in the game. 5. The plots are crowded, and you can’t move people in order to build on top of plots. Bummer :/ 6. Obnoxious heart throbbing was nothing short of being an absolute headache recipe. After you start farming lettuce and carrots, you will keep your health up. 7. There is NO specific settings for audio, controls, visuals or anything. I can’t turn down the environment, dialogue, etc. You can’t use custom controls, sprint is something I had to get used to, and I scraped my bow my first game bc L3 is scrap/ R3 is quick deposit… I got them mixed up. They should add visual controls like FOV slider and Colorblind settings. …. It took me a few HOURS to complete the tutorial and I see a lot of others suffering the same fate. The game is kind of indirect unless you stay for almost every line of dialogue, and there aren’t really any waypoints yet to guide you. Once you kill a few animals and get a ‘raw meat’ and a ‘shroom cap’, go to your fire and make a shish-kabob… DON’T EAT IT. use it to make the bridge up north of Tutorial Island. You Need Wood and I think Resin. Glitches will come and go - Inventory Glitch is frustrating, on console you have to transfer items one click at a time… I don’t believe we can click and drag items yet… Though it would be cool with the touch pad!
Naw. Radial menu or action bar is preference. As a dev can't be that hard to provide both. The fact that the equipped item disappears after picking something up has to be a bug. No way that is an intended feature. My sense is that the game should have launched as early access. I may or may not have read other people comments. idk this is my organic reaction. Game for sure has potential. Miss the gang, been busy working. Hope everyone doing well. Cheers!!!!!!
Yes you are being a bit ott!! It's early access!! I'm really happy with it's current state and am looking forward to seeing it progress!! Yes lots of things could be better but that's what early access is all about. They need the funding that EA brings to get it where it needs to be. Complaining about a radial menu is a bit precious!!!
No. I agree with most of your complaints. It is very time consuming to manually switch tools, then hit E multiple times. Not to mention the tool dies so fast for how long it takes to find the crap to remake it.
Core mechanics are decent. Just a little clunky. With some quality of life adjustments, could be game of the year when it reaches v1.0. Most of your complaints can be fixed with minor tweaks. Case-in-point, item drops were adjusted in the first patch. General gameplay is good so far. They explained craft menu VS build menu in the pop-up prompts. I've played FAR worse early access games. It will get better. It's been 1 day of early access.
List of Dislikes: 1.) radial menu rather than an action bar 2.) equipped items are not visible in-hand on the player/character 3.) lack of available resources for crafting 4.) low-health is indicated by obnoxious heart throb sound 5.) inventory transfer and management has mechanics issues
Spot on resources are silly at the moment you cannot fihnd anything its infuriating and you stop playing i don't want to though but I do that's why I love ark you can get the resources
I am prepared to stick with it for the long term as I can see the potential of being something different rather than a murder collecathon which leads to a massive constructed base to hoard said resources. I think it's a good twist on the genre.
Hopefully, this is a developer that will listen to feedback. I mean, the game launched without the ability to invert the vertical camera, which is a pretty standard feature. But they put it in a few hours later. Some of these, as you said, are quality-of-life changes. Some of it is drop rates. Things that can be tweaked. I'm interested to see how they respond. Thanks for raising these issues.
Just entered early access. You paid to be a beta tester. If the developer listens these things will get fixed. That said I agree with your list. One more thing I would add is lack of uniformity in the UI. On the PS5 the square button does one thing in the general UI and another in inventory. Same function name. If this makes sense. But again this is the first couple of days in early access.
I kinda feel your frustration bro.. I played almost every (popular) survival game and had these issues. For an example: fountain of youth last month. The release of the game is soo long ago and still the same problems like no sorting button, weight limits in (big) chests and more.. it’s so frustrating. Sometimes I feel like the developers don't play their own games. The main thing is to bring it to market quickly.
You're not being dramatic. Sometimes, there are games that have a good concept, but the feel and immersion can ruin the experience. Honest reviews need to be made and expressed.
'transfer all' with auto-stacking is needed. like most other games of this kind have. items should stay in your inv if there is no space in storage box. all that might be quite easy fix so I hope devs listen to those vids.
Here's my top 10 list of fixes: #10 - facemask customization for when multi-player becomes viable #9 - WAY faster swim speed, especially when surfacing. #8 - Auto equip items. Duh. #7 - You should lose half your spirit points (whatever it's called) and drop your items upon death. Right now death = free tp home. #6 - Enemies don't give exp, so they should ALWAYS drop loot. #5 - Text is too small and yellow text is used on important words, which is VERY difficult to read. #4 - Chests should have limitless storage, and no item stack limit. #3 - Bows already have a durability. Let this represent arrow count, and just get rid of arrow crafting. #2 - PS5 only - Pressing L3 in inventory (easy to do by accident) destroys the item. #1 - Scope upgrades so you can see color coded loot at a greater distance, and scan animals at a further distance with a wider scope of vision.
The biggest overall problem right now is 99.99% of gameplay is looking for and picking up loot, which absolutely is not fun. [Generally, in games]Combat is fun, but combat has zero benefits when monsters drop no loot.
some times we just play protagonist. this is the first time i ever used this word in my life lol. But seriously, i personally am not a fan of character customization. i usually auto generate or just skip it.
I just bought Enshrouded early access and it has been pretty fun so far. It doesn't appear to suffer from the same resource scarcity issues as this one. Maybe when they get this one fixed I'll be tired of Enshrouded.
I have watched 2 reviews of this game. The other one was very professional and completely incompetent. Seethrews review is not very professional but is 100% honest and full of the emotion we expect form somebody who has actually been playing the game. Well done Seethrew. 👍
@@seethrew I have 2 channels and they are both unprofessional. Its not necessarily a criticism. Very few people are good in all aspects. Very successful channels often have a different person directing/editing the content.
I will give a game a lot of extra lee way if they have included connected storage for crafting! I tried to get back into Nightingale after their total revamp, but having played games with connected storage in between, made it too frustrating. Once Human has a similar problem with moving storage, luckily they do not drop items on the ground though, but if you don't have an open slot in a chest, even if you have only 10 iron ore in a stack that can hold 1000, when you try to click the move all like option nothing happens at all. You have to move the 10 iron ore out of the chest, merging with the 25 in your backpack, then move the 35 iron ore back into the chest...
the multiplayer is like only a friend can join and thats it no story together nothing xDD i think that game is worth 10-15 not 30 im so sad . but it looks nice
You do what you feel is right. I’m still progressing in the game. But hell yeah I so agree with your gripes with certain mechanics. For me it’s really down to inventory and tool degradation. Stack sizes are stupidly small. Limiting amount of chests you can have ( Dumb ). Inventory slots in chest and backpacks need to be way more. Tools break way too quickly. Frustrating but can see the massive gameplay potential of this game. I’ve just unlocked the third region and it was a struggle to get resources as I needed iron tools to harvest certain plants but they broke way too early. I wish they had the blacksmith unlock with the lumber mill so you can craft iron tools and a way to repair tools. Your playthrough got me into this game, and I really enjoyed it, so selfishly I hope you stick at it. But I do understand if you want to put this one on the back burner.
Regards invisible axe thats a bug i had it happen few times. Game is early access tho so no big issue to me. Oh also roots u can eat early game to get health back
Man I was hoping to get this game! Idk another one of those games released that isn’t totally complete for a start? Hopefully they fix this and take feedback. I want to enjoy this game so much!
Good to know all of those complaints. I'm still curious about buying this game. Hopefully these QOL issues are fixed. I really want to try this game but of course I don't want it to waste my time with certain issues.
@Drpolicebox of course it is. It just released yesterday. Doesn't change the fact it's been in production since 2009. You would expect 15 years would be enough to get simple mechanics correct.
do the damn quest progression why does every have the same complaints yet they cant even get off the starter island i promise the wither expedetions are gunna be painfull for yall if u dont figure out a slow paced survival games mechanics
@seethrew yes, a plant Orb will spawn gives about 3 to 4 plant fiber. Along with mushrooms and resin trees. I'm at work. Sorry for my auto typos. I don't know the name of the plant.
I'm so confused ... You are playing a survival game but as of 10 minutes in the only complaints I've heard is how it's hard to find resources and the sound it makes when you need to eat food is annoying . Not trying to be mean but if you don't enjoy farming or stockpiling foods you're in the wrong genre
i been in this genre for 5 years with over 100 survival games on my channel and 2000 videos. this is the only game that does this. like mentioned its my opinion of the game, and the adjustments that would make me personally happy. if you fine with those things, then great. I'm not, I expect more out of game that's been produced for 15 years. Im all for a grind, but a infinite gameplay loop of grab 5 fiber, make a spear, so you can grab 5 more fiber, to make a spear and the loop never ends.
Am i being over dramatic? Or are these things that upset you also? I just really wanted this game to be good, which is why im so nit picky.
