    As a dad to 2 kids, 1 being a newborn. This type of game is exactly what I need and want. That isn't to say that it doesn't need work. But, the overall gameplay just works for me. Low brainpower, casual grind. Depending on what I am doing during the day decides what profession I will work on. Some are more AFK than others and all allow me to walk away and take care of my kids.
    Thanks for the video, but I am not a RS3 or OSRS player, and this game works for me. I am excited to see where it goes. I hope we get magic sooner rather than later.

      "Casual Grind", all skills go to 500, there's about as many as in runescape, and I just got 42 chef, which took around 10 hours to get, far longer than it does in runescape, and unlike rs these skills go to level 500, not 99.

    Will be interesting to see how the game develops with updates :) edit: you claim no one sells gear, there is a person that sells gear in the armoury on episode 4 and trading is coming soon. Also you say woodcutting and carpentry is not useful, it is because you use the poles you make with carpentry to make weapons in episode 3 that combines with blacksmithing / stonemason ect...

    • @MunyuShizumi
      @MunyuShizumi 3 วันที่ผ่านมา +7

      Carpentry & woodcutting might tie into other skills later, but they do nothing in E2. For F2P, this means they're absolutely useless. And even then they're not mandatory cause most weapons don't require wood in E3.
      Compare to RuneScape tutorial island. You would mine some ore, then smelt the bars, then make a weapon. You'd catch a fish, chop some logs, light a fire, then cook the fish. Both of those immediately tie into combat, and the utility is immediately apparent. And it all takes 10 minutes.
      BS often has the issue of not communicating mechanics or utility clearly enough, or keeping them hidden behind a rather mindless grind that doesn't appeal to a lot of people since they don't have a goal that they're pursuing with any enthusiasm.
      (Disclaimer: No, I'm not hating, and I do play BS actively.)

  • @GoldRocketGamers
    @GoldRocketGamers 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Thanks for this video, a really fair and belanced review! A few things to note:
    1) You can also enchant tools (in ep1) to increase the % bonus of xp, which doesn't have a level requirement but is expensive!
    2) You can craft weapons in ep3 and armour in ep5 you don't have to just rely on drops
    3) You can buy equipment from a stor in ep4 (and of course from players when P2P trading comes out at launch)
    4) You do use carpentry products in episode 3 (I see BSCentral got here before me and pointed that out :P you also then say this later in the video so I guess you realised XD)
    5) I think the developers said specifically that they were going back to ealier episodes and adding more quests there as well as putting out new episodes
    6) I definitely agree with your 'crossplay' comment, for example enabling fishing in other regions. There is an activity in episode 3 where I always say "WHY IS THIS NOT FISHING?!"
    Don't mean to be a know it all, people always correct my videos for stuff like this and I find it really useful! =P None of this really changes the thrust of your review though, very valid points!

      That 'turn based style' is just the tiles being outlined, and I would bet you money they chose to outline the tiles because getting tiles to line up properly is a skill that takes a specific kind of artist that they don't have on the team.
      If all your tiles are bordered with a black border, you don't have to worry about how anything lines up and art/level design becomes 100x easier.
      The game would look much prettier without the ugly outline, but I'd bet you money that is not a simple fix, it would require redoing the entire tilesets.

      @@LeafyNebula "It's not hard to spawn or place tiles lol"
      I'm not talking about 'spawning' or 'placing' tiles... I'm talking about the artist who has to draw those tiles so that the borders of them line up cleanly with the border of every other tile they're going to be in contact with, which means creating dozens, or hundreds of variations of the same tile.
      For example imagine a path, it has 1 tile for pure dirt, plus variations, then 8+ tiles for each other material you want your path to blend with. If your path is going to cross dirt, and sand, and light grass, and dark grass - you need to create all those tile sets.
      IF, however, you put an ugly black box around every single tile, you don't have to worry about how tiles line up with each other, every tile can be a generic middle tile, you don't have to create all the fancy variations for different combonations of background + path.
      You genuinely don't understand what I'm talking about -.-

    I really liked your review Pravus! I've been enjoying the game for what it is so far, but I do 100% agree with the criticisms you put forward here. I personally don't think the system Andrew put forward with professions is fundamentally flawed, as I found the logic he put forward when discussing it to be valid, but at the same time the current way it is implemented definitely needs some work. I'm just about to unlock episode 4, and as I've worked on the weapon crafting, I found the final overlapping of stuff to really come nicely, and with more mobs actually dropping potion reagents, everything started to really come together in the vision Andrew put forward. Problem is, it shouldn't take getting this far, which requires grinding a total of 252 levels for everything to click. There should definitely be more done earlier to get players hooked like I finally managed to. Hopefully, the addition of the actual MMO elements the game promises will allow you to enjoy the game, too, because I really do think any Runescape fan will have a good time with it once there is more substance than just purely the grind.

      @akkitakara 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @jensv874 I'm not saying that everything should be lumped into the first two areas, just that the existing stuff should demonstrate that the overlap is more prevalent. Early overlapping does already exist, as gathering is used for both cooking and alchemy, but the problem there currently is that most potions can just be purchased from the alchemy vendor, and cooking is purely used to make money. This makes this overlap less significant than that of the stuff in episode 3. If players were more incentivized to make their own potions, or if food was actually used as a consumable, it would make it more significant in the early game and that could easily address the problem there.

The first half of the game is completely free on Steam, and there's no microtransactions, FOMO or resets so please play as much or as little as you would like.
