  • I just think this is going to be a bit of a mess no matter what way it goes. People have such a different idea of what this game is now based on the riot drive.

    & I can’t help but think that’s kinda the point of buying it, because you only need to sell it in one burst of hype to make a quick buck, look at cube world for example.

    Also the game has been sold off once, if someone like M$ came knocking, even just to kill it, you think if he makes a huge profit off the purchase, he’ll say no?

    I think a lot of people have been waiting for this & the hype around it is just going to lead to disappointment.






  • I had such high hopes for starbound but it just kept falling short through development to its current release.

    I got in on the crowdfunding they did on their own website & enjoyed the idea of the road map they laid out. Unfortunately one thing that became apparent fast through development was how much they wanted to distance themselves away from terraria, to the point it felt they took worse development paths if it meant they achieved this.

    I had a lot of fun with the first version of the game which was a lot more aggressive with the survival, heat & food & drink mechanics but I understood why they revised that because to capture a larger audience I could see those mechanics needed to be toned down. Then the game just kept getting revision after revision & every time it just felt worse for the overall game.

    What we have now is a fine & competent game that feels rather disinteresting overall & a shadow of the concept it was trying to reach.

    Even the modding scene can’t really elevate it too much & the game has a horrid taint after the unpaid contributer stuff.
