      If MMOByte ever thinks "why don't I get views in my shit clickbait videos?" THIS. THIS IS THE COMMENT.
      By looking at the thumbnail, the title, and the first 10 seconds I already got everything, and im hooked so I will stay and hear what he thinks about it.
      Where MMOByte uses shit clickbaity thumbnails, no identification of the game in the title, and will always wait until the last fucking minute of his videos to give you what you came to watch.

      @TorryVibes they are unfinished content and otherwise they aren't worth 30 imo my steam library is full of games just like these that are fun the first 30 hrs then content runs dry and you quit playing (most people anyway) only time will tell with these but I don't support early access anymore it's not done properly 90% of the time. Games should be 1 maybe 2 years away from content complete before going ea imo instead devs use that shield for 5- 10 years sometimes or longer looking at you 7d2d

    • @Lusterredux

      ​​​@@realname2490Palworld is fairly feature complete. Sure, after 50-60hrs the content runs dry, but... It cost $26. Anyone that ACTUALLY played Palworld would say it's not your usual EA title, in that there's little that feels unfinished or missing. Also, your statement that people have moved on from the game doesn't line with actual real world metrics that shows it's still being actively played. Just because you don't care for a game, doesn't mean your experience mirrors the entirety of the rest of the gaming community. Data and facts > "feels".
      As for 7D2D, that game could've been considered finished years ago, and the developers could've moved on. Instead, they update and remake the game every so often because they have some sort of OCD, and you get a refreshed game every so often to revisit. All of this for the $4-5 you can find 7D2D for nowadays (if not cheaper).
      There are plenty of scammy/lazy EA games, but Palworld & 7D2D are not that. People get so hung up on the EA tag, but it doesn't mean anything for some games (another example of a game that's early access but a nearly feature complete title is Project Zomboid).

      The biggest flaw in the game right now is that the devs put so much effort into the world and exploration that most of the animations feel clunky and the ui/inventory management is bad. Add that to building only having 90 degree turns and the combat feeling very forced,, I would say it's a 7 or 8/10 game at best. If those things get polished this could be an amazing game, but right now it only shines as an exploration game.

How is having a character not move their arms and have them lay limp when they jump their entire body height, having a strange back waddle animation while jogging or expecting a torch to be held pointing up and not forward exactly like the 1h club even considered good? I'd call those nitpicks below the bar for even an early access.

    Also nice to see the map features an abundance of decently sized mostly flat areas to build on. And a solid map feature too. These devs may have actually played these kinds of games before. Shocking.
    IMO the current price is also a positive factor. It's easier to take a chance on a game that looks this good when it's at half of AAA pricing AND also on sale.

Thank you on behalf of the people, we are already over 30 and we don't want more responsibilities than daily ones, instead a place to relax and have a good time. Be careful, that touch of action also pushes us forward in the game, it is an excellent extra.

    Played from Friday night until late Sunday night with 1 buddy and a buddy of his. We love the game. In order to update the flame to the next level, we need a wyvern head which I tried to solo last night and got whooped. Definitely found out that some of the bosses, heck, even some of the lower creatures are very difficult to fight. I absolutely love the game. It feels great to explore and craft while having an almost unlimited space to run around. Being able to go from a server game to a private game without having to start a new charector is also great. Able to continue farming/exploring/crafting without furthering the chain in the multiplayer game is also a huge plus.

    I'm just about to pass the 40 hour mark myself with this game, and I'm genuinely still blown away by the overall quality of a game that's still in early access. We have a map that's already bigger than most other open world maps, and each area has some level of care/attention given to it.
    For anyone who's curious, the full map size is looking like it'll be 8000m X 8000m (~25 square miles). The devs also stated that the base terrain shape was randomly generated and populated afterwards - which is a great example of AI/RNG tools being used to save on development time.

Being able to dig thru anything, gliding, fast travel, talents, all these things make this game feel really good. Its also very beautiful. Theres so much to gather and farm and build.

    We're hard at work working the next patch, and will continue to make stability a priority to ensure that everyone can enjoy Enshrouded. Once we have these out of the way (we estimate that it will take us 2-3 weeks to feel confident), we will look into sharing with you our first roadmap for Enshrouded.
    This definitely looks like a great single player game but until they get there confidence and release the road map I can wait about a month or two.

    Got it right now, tried the demo some time ago and was blown away. People are complaining about it not being very optimized and requiring a lot of GPU. Yes graphics are heavy and not all cards and PCs can handle this, but if they do, it's well worth it. Multiplayer seems to be bugged at launch, guess they will fix is soon. Despite the launch problems, it still looks like one of the best indi games released recently to me.

    • @daemonthorn5888
      @daemonthorn5888 3 місяці тому +3

      The problem is,there's no reason for people's cards to not be able to "handle" this game. There is nothing groundbreaking or special about these graphics. The problem is that the game is very poorly optimized. Many reports of 3090s and 4070s struggling and that's ridiculous. I have a 3060 ti and can't even think of a game that I can't play due to graphics being too "heavy". These days,if you at least have a Nvidia 30 series card or equivalent, you should be able to play anything you want. If you can't run something due to graphics,it's the games fault. Assuming the rest of your system matches your card, of course.

Talking about pvp I hope they make dedicated servers or arenas/invasions because if they turn the game from single player pve coop to full pvp with raids I will be pissed. One thing about this kind of games I like is you can get lost in yourself while playing due to single player exploration rpg. If they are going to implement raids like pvp servers in Conan Exiles for example it will be a downgrade in my opinion.

    I agree with most of what you stated. Exploration is a lot of fun, definitely. Melee combat has a decently fluidity to it, but my wands seemed to pass through the majority of the mobs I hit. The bow is decent as well. I found the character customization lacking a bit, but that wasn't a deal-breaker. No eye color option made me frown a bit, but slap on a hood or helmet and you're soon forget all about it. Initially, I found building to be a bit limited with no 45° shaped objects for more immersive shapes. All in a all, it's a decent game, but the price does tend to give it a bit of an advantage because you're not going to break the bank, yet will sure to have hours of fun.
