      I think it's a bit gratuitous on foliage and the grass isn't great which makes it feel sparse and unpolished. It can look amazing, but it NEEDS structures otherwise the land feels too barren. Like a, well, unfinished game.
      The large amount of clutter plants also make it rough for me. I specifically dislike that about minecraft, too.
      Can't wait for the game to be finished so this comment is aged. I really do love it.

      I tell everyone VS is what MC should have become, not saying MC isn't good - but just in terms of if MC aged or offered the sort of realistic game play (or options) that VS does offer. Also the mods being free, and world editing and modding being very accessible is all just...the way it could have been for MC

    i bought this game yesterday, I'm 22 and barely am interested in titles like this usually. I played until 2 AM even though I knew I had work, school etc. Didn't even realize it! If anything it encapsulated me just as Minecraft did 14 years ago. Bought it for some friends and rented a server, couldn't recommend it more for someone who misses the "magic" of it.

      It feels like if Minecraft grew up with us rather than us growing out of it. Its still got hiccups at points, but the devs are active on their discord and forums and that gives so much hope going forward

    I initially thought I wouldn't have enough time to play this game, learn it, let alone run it. But nope, settings everywhere to speed things up, one of the best in game documentation systems I've seen in awhile, and it is fairly well optimized despite how many things are going on.

  • @chukyuniqul
    @chukyuniqul Місяць тому +2

    Ok but, like, can we talk about the music? You've been using it through the video and it does SUCH a great job at selling this game, it's a similarly wistful feeling to minecraft's but where minecraft's is innocent and melancholy, vintage story has this joy and cheer with an underlying darker theme which if you've been in a temporal storm feels SO much like you have this world that is so beautiful but is being encroached on by something different. And if you go plumbing the depths, you'll learn VERY quickly just what horrors are tryina find a hold into your world.
    I love this game, because whenever I play it it's a safe world of my own, but it's also not. It's great.

    I spent my entire childhood relentlessly playing Minecraft and now I'm here. I genuinely can't return to Minecraft now, this game makes it feel like a retro game. I also love how in the Vintage Story community, Americans are the minority. I can very easily talk to people from other countries and practice other languages in the voice chat. They just added a price adjustment for Brazilians e agora posso falar o meu mal português for example.

  • @phiragon4156
    @phiragon4156 Місяць тому

    As someone who plays this game since over 2 years ago, i can say that it is totally worth it! Not only do you have much more diffrent and immersive mecanics, like seasons that affect crop growth or animals that only become friendly towards you after a certain generation in captivity, it also gets one big update about once a year. In the meantime you can alter your game with many mods and even make mods yourself. Unlike minecraft, the developer activly support the moding comunity and releases pre releases so that modders have enouth time tounderstand the changes to update their content

    Glad your loving the game. I loved Minecraft. I remember in college when Minecraft was really rough playing with a friend on his lan net work. Later buying the game on my own and just enjoying it. But eventually (about the time a certain large company purchased Mojang) it started feeling...bleh. Later on down the road during a stream of....well I quite rightly don't remember what game it was I was playing but a watcher mentioned Vintage Story. I paused pulled it up and went "Huh...this is very interesting." Next paycheck I bought it and I honestly don't look back on the purchase I have spent weeks in the game happily building my farms up adventuring I haven't even TRIED the end game stuff or any servers yet and I'm just having a wonderful blast. This...THIS is what Minecraft was missing all those years ago. This is why I slowly lost interest in Minecraft. I am so glad that my viewer recommended this game to me and glad that you found it as well. Keep building your Story.

  • @leonoliveira8652

    Welcome to VS, you won't be leaving anytime soon.
    Explore every mechanic, take your time, pay attention to the merchants dialogue (even if it doesn't seem to change. Believe me, you'll find something) and dive headfirst into something very, VERY unique.
    Minecraft wasn't for me, I had this experience not even with Terraria. My first sandbox was Starbound (and I still hope to see something like it someday) and a friend recommended this to me. They dropped off after a few months basically because... they're not curious or inventive. They like the "do what you want without focus" or the memorization gameplay of souls likes. But to me, while this isn't starbound, it's something entirely new and an amazing value for its price. I'm extra happy it's easier to get here in Latin America now with a somewhat adjusted price, more people deserve to see this, and many people can play it even on potato pcs - and the game STILL looks pretty even on minimal settings. It's nuts.
    I want more sandbox games, ones with story and depth, ones with curious mechanics, ones that let me be creative with the player model and their habitations, and specially ones with easily available mods. I fell in love with this game and hope it never goes away anytime soon. (also, can't wait to try hytale.)

    There definitely aren't many shortcuts to progression, though knowing how much of what you need specifically for each stage can give you step up. Progressing fast really comes down to getting lucky with finding the right resources by the time you need them. My latest game I was in the copper age on day nine, and could have been faster but I had to spend a couple days just searching for copper nuggets as I somehow hadn't found any. Bronze age was pretty fast to get too as I found plenty of Tin ore by chance while prospecting for deep copper and Iron, which seems to always be the way it happens since Tin is so rare. Now I'm in the worst part of the progression in my opinion, I hit winter without having found Bauxite despite exploring a heck of a lot.
    My only gripe at the moment really is the way food spoilage is managed, makes hosting a server for friends to play on very difficult, unless you all only play when everyone is on. Otherwise one person playing keeps the clock running on everyone's food spoilage. The only ways I can think of to manage it so that food isn't always a problem would be to build in the tropics of something so crops can be left sitting mature until needed.

    I dunno man, when I spawn in, there is almost always a ruin(s) and a trader on my tiny little map. Like MC, instead of a boat, I can just spend my first days running into caves, looting ruins and sleeping at the trader without much to fear. But thats on me, I should be doing a harder mode I think. Once you take the time to read the manual or even just the tool tops that are all over your screen it becomes incredibly rewarding very fast. Its also super fun. I definitely recommend it. The detail and granularity is super engaging and impressive. I just dont want anyone to think its too hard. Its a mode of discovery and is very much attuned and based on irl survival methods with interesting lore weaved in, or not. On top of which its super customizable down to the walk speed or having god rays dialed in. Anyway, fun video.

      Maybe they don't have Minecraft? Lol. But to be honest no mod can make up for the game. Vintage Story is why different then Minecraft. They both use blocks, just like the game that inspired mine craft. It has a bar like Minecraft and a crafting 3 by 3 block. Other then that they are a total different game. Vintage Story is as far from Minecraft as Minecraft is from Infiniminer, the game that the idea of Minecraft came from.

    • @henryeccleston7381
      @henryeccleston7381 Місяць тому +10

      No. Vintage story is what happens when modders decide they are fed up with being tied to minecraft as a foundation, so they build a whole new game from the ground up that doesn’t have what they didn’t like, and takes everything they did like and wanted to add and dials it up to eleven. It’s more coherent and polished than TFC, comparable in quality and breadth to minecraft currently, and more mod-friendly than minecraft, and it’s still in pre-release and unfinished. Modded minecraft won’t give you the same experience because this game was made precisely because the developers found minecraft too limiting to create the experience they are aiming for. And that experience is well worth the less than 20 euro price.
