@@Natsu01 I have the PS5 PRO ... theres glitches with the game... so now what do I do? Might want to apologize actually you sounded kinda like rude or something.
Game director here - we totally deserve the current low score. Had a terrible launch experience especially for the PS5 players and we deeply apologize! The team is tirelessly working to fire out new patches almost daily. We hear all your frustrations and thoughtful feedback. The game will vastly improve in the coming days and weeks so please be patience and give us a shot. My ambition for Towers is much bigger than our team size and budget hence the early access. The game is also a slow burn by nature so the meat of what you see in the trailer doesn’t happen til 10 hours in. We are improving the early part of the game and hopefully you will notice the difference soon. Hope to see more walkthrough and all your insightful comments!
Thanks for the update! Is there a Discord link where we can report bugs? I'm on ps5 and I have ran into quite a few bugs. Another issue is seeing /finding fish in water. The water reflects so much light it is impossible to see the fish. I struggled way too long to do the first hunting quest because of this. Also text and markers are too small as mentioned. Right now my main issue is the sound of the Withered Nest when clearing it, it's a scratching loud sound, even with game sound turned down, way to loud for comfort!
If your able to fix something i like the gathering and the open world but the resources like berries and the fibers are not spawning in any part of my world i have if there was some how a better way of identifyign different resources that would be so appreciated love the game thnks
I think there is a LOT of potential and I am positive with some time it will be an absolute gem. My personal advise would be to focus on some quality of life that would make the experience less frustrating, expecially in the beginning. For example, having to switch between shovel, hatchet or pickaxe to gather is just painful. Once you have the tool in your inventory, it would be nice to use it automatically whenever trying to chop a tree or to dig some roots. Observing moster require to be too close. To be able to observe a big crab like monster on a beach I had to climb a rock and find a spot where its spit would hit the rock instead of me, otherwise there was no way to complete the observation without getting killed, as when you observe you can't dodge and you move very slow. Taking damages, up to death, while digging cactus, is just frustrating. An option for minimap not to rotate with the camera, but to stand still, would also be nice. And so on. Wish you the best!
Thanks for getting in the comments. Would love to see a full coop mode. This game seems perfect to log on with friends and build/explore/fight together.
"We didn't like the survival resources because we actually had to hunt them down in order to survive, there being no magical glowing auras around each item like games we love on the channel".
What dickhead gets upset at accessibility features that don't negatively affect your own gameplay? Let's remove all ramps because you don't like the aesthetic fuk people who can't walk
A new PS5 patch is out v1.0000.05! This update would resolve the crashes that PS5 players experienced at launch and bring the PS5 version to feature, content, and quality parity with the Steam build. However, if you have already started playing on the 01.0000.05 PS5 build, this patch could affect and corrupt your current save. - Corruption Risk: The save games from the previous patch are likely to become corrupted due to the significant updates made since the last version, which was initially created weeks ago. - Recommendation: We strongly advise clearing out your old save files before attempting to play the updated version to avoid potential issues. Why Is This Happening? - Since the previous version you played, we’ve implemented numerous changes, content additions, and performance improvements, making old save data incompatible with the current version. We know this might be frustrating, but these updates are crucial to delivering the best possible experience. Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your continued support! Additionally, after the initial release on Steam earlier today, we made a new hotfix patch with the following fixes: - Fixed the crash on PS5 on boot/ getting to the Main Menu (phew) - Fixing inverted camera input - Fixing the Epic Games Sign in requirement, now Steam users are just able to click continue. Epic Games Account is not mandatory. - Fix damage on harvesting. - Increase player health on respawn. - Allow controller support for Fill Orders UI.
im goona get this game, just because is the second video where i see am honest and kind response from DIRECTOR and DEVELOPERS. Seeing them going the extra mile after months of CRUNCH TIME is something i trully apreciate. Keep on the good work guys....your game is gonna COOK!!!!
It is early access, and that’s kind of the point. The developers have responded to this video and acknowledge there’s still plenty of work to be done. Also have a feeling that the early access is a way for the game to reach a wider audience and hopefully get investors interested so that this game can reach its development potential and vision of what the dev team has for this game. I really hope they succeed as I feel this game has a lot of potential, and it’s innovative in a genre that kind of feels a bit stagnant.
When are these survival/crafting devs going to learn? You have to have distinctly separate inventories for tools and resources. Grounded started like that too and it’s so annoying to have your inventory eaten up by all your tools (and in the case of Grounded’s EA, armor as well). Yes, you are carrying your tools, so technically they are in your ‘inventory’. So then give us a tool belt that acts like a separate inventory for tools only.
My only issue for now is the fact that when playing with a friend I can't build anything or progress missions. For us, coop play is important in survivsl games so we can share the grind amd adventure. Hoping this gets fixed at aome point because its pointless us playing until it's sorted.
Appreciate the video! Sounds like people are experiencing similar issues with launching the game currently, specifically on PS5. Devs are aware and are looking into it.
@LegacyGamingUS Fair enough. I must have missed that. Thanks for the review. Probably gonna give this one some time to mature a bit before I spend my money. Appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
early access is so they can get funding to continue development on the game. This is early access being used as intended, unlike ark and some other games using it to hide behind an unstable game for years
I've spent hours trying to find "cob" for the one hut and the game doesn't tell you what "cob" is. One would assume it's corn but the icon looks like a rock and gives you no information. It's crashed at least 13 times for me on PS5. Has so much potential but not quite there.
8:00 this is the one if not the best parts of the immersion of the game for me I love LOVE swapping to the appropriate tool for each and every task and when games take that away from the survival farming genre they take me away from it I hate the laziness just swap your tool it's why you came to the game omg!! 😤😤😮💨
@@atto1355 wow how are you so ignorant? You clearly didn't watch the video but you pretend to? Minute 6:43 "a lot of the QoL features weren't working" that's what he said. Why are you making stuff up?
Had no crashes but playing on pc, cant seem to log in to get multiplayer to work. So far giving me strong NMS launch feelings. Hopefully they keep up with updates and improvements. Has potential
I remember a game that launched recently and had a roadmap topic "fixing bugs and improving QoL" on it and I was amazed on how absurd it is to have a product being launched with the company knowing for a fact that it is incomplete and they will need to improve it "later".
You mean back when you signed up to be a beta tester and hope you got picked. Then help test the game so when it was released it worked? Well they thought “hey let’s charge people to beta test and call it an early access” cha Ching cha Ching
Because they need money to make this game. You're not obligated to support this project I personally like it so far despite the sea of bugs. They got a lot to fix and upgrade but the rough gem that is this game is compelling enough for me not to regret payin'
It has to do with funding how long it takes to make the game, because people have to work and pay their bills. Not every studio is a triple A studio with years of experience. Many investors don't want to take a chance on something unless they know that the end result will be worth it. It's much easier to break into the industry now because there isn't the massive gateway that there used to be.
You should really go back and take a second look as they have had multiple patches with another tomorrow addressing a multitude of QoL fixes. Been having a blast so far 15 hours in. The dev team is awesome and very responsive on their discord and actually listening to the player base who play it instead of executives in a boardroom
This is helpful, does sound like they need a few months of quality of life improvements. Especially with the launching issues getting fixed. I'm willing to wait, as long as it fulfills gameplay expectation
Oh you’re willing to wait ? Lmao what else are you going to do? This just reads so funny. You don’t really have a choice. You’re going to wait - regardless if you ever play the game again or not. And if the game comes out and it doesn’t “fulfill gameplay expectations” like you say … you still waited 😂
The only reasons I’m still playing is because the game is beautiful. I like the story, and the team is actually listening to us and fixing things and improving so im going to support them because a lot of these game companies don’t listen to us and then we just wasted money on something that may have gotten fixed.
Bugs that were fixed day one and will have its 4th patch tomorrow lmao sounds like “it’s not perfect day one so I’m quitting” game is now much better after patch yesterday big overhaul patch. And this is one dev team that is actually listening to its player base instead of some executives in a board room
@ considering the backlash around no character creator that they are getting and the fact that its on their roadmap bc they know its a necessity, I’d say you couldn’t be more wrong lol.
@@JohnChao77that’s why they have names in because they have even made any face structure for the character creations watch when they add you’ll be able to see face
Were you able to dive? seems that option is there, but not keybound to anything and I couldn't find any way to re-keybind that option. Seems fun though
It's good someone is addressing issues. The game needs work. I got it specifically with multi-player in mind. Once you play enough to unlock multi-player I come to find it's a wreck. All the buildings lag in and out consistently dropping you threw the map, and weapons don't even work. It was unplayable. Unfortunately I'll be waiting for more updates.
The biggest gripe I have is the inventory space you are limited to. Why can’t players build as many chests as they want . Limiting chests and they have such a small amount of slots makes gameplay less enjoyable and inventory management impossible. If each production building came with a couple of decent chest would help but they have to have a lot more slots either way. But I’ve had no crashes and gameplay is smooth so I’m sticking with it and look forward to what comes in further patches
The update yesterday changed it to having 10 chests with small having 10 slots that’s 128 storage slots (9 small + 1 medium you start with) as well with a multitude of QoL improvements
Really like the resource management system based on sustainability, and that there is actually an overarching questline with dialogue - a step above most survival sandboxes. I'm disappointed about the coop not being part of the questing, and also the fact I'll have to wait until 2026 just to see some of that, assuming it isn't abandoned in EA like so many others.
Haven’t run into any crashing problems yet, its really rough to play though. The game mechanics are nice and fun, but to progress sucks from your inventory management, to radial wheel, even the game play loses immersion after seeing the flaws. I would have recommended that the devs put more time. It just feels like the game was put into early access too early in its development.
I got to the current end of the game and it pissed me off. It ran credits but it left so many things unanswered. 1. What is the withering? 2. It is suggested that humans caused the withering, but is it true? Other issues. 1. Building tends to be perminante structures. You can't move them or chests or many other things. So when the towns teir up and change it can mess up or hide things you built. I ended losing chests and had buildings end up in the foundation of the town cause it exspanded when it teired up. They shouldn't have put credits where they did. Should have just put a message that was the exstent of the current content but more is to come. Makes the game feel rather empty.
Uninstalled and reinstalled it and it started working, but there’s no basic option to invert Y axis for camera control so it’s unplayable for me as a Y axis inverted player. Crazy not to have that basic option.
Amazing video, made clear everything reg the game. I was interested in the game but now seeing you playing, I believe I was expecting some more survival content (maybe I didn't get the game concept right). Inventory shortage frustrates really fast.
I played 7am Saturday and then I had to stop because it's was 7am Sunday morning. But it's needs bug fixing. Since I glitch out a lot of time. Right now. I'm stuck in a plant
At least make it free while early access.. so much more would test for bugs etc. On such a start people wont even buy it anymore. They need a major save to steer the ship now.
I agree and disagree. It is definitely too early and there should be bug fixes and feedback while taking more time on it. But in the same token, itf they aren't a major studio with years of work and games under their belt then it's probably difficult to get the funding to do this. Everyone needs to pay their bills because they are working for a living and no one should ever expect to have games handed to them for free without there being some means of them funding the project.
far too many games are released early access and alot never get updated or finished , my steam list must have 20+ games who are early access which ive played and then stopped because of little or updates over a year or more .this is a growing trend in too many games .
The only game I've really actually anticipated. Shame it's off to such a rough start. I figured that some of the gameplay would be pretty janky in combat, etc., but hopefully they get the tech cleaned up quickly.
The only game that promised to be great, is Forbidden West. All other open-world games were crap. Never played NMS, so I started with that last week. Somehow it's great
Haven't had any of these issues so maybe I'm lucky but I've been really enjoying the game a lot though I wish exploration could be rewarded a little more, if not cool loot just really cool hidden places with lore. Maybe I'm just not far enough in the game though.
Bought it, hated it, had problems with it from the moment I started playing. it was refunded on steam but I do hope to buy it again in the future. I'm just hoping that the developers do right by the community so that we can do right by them. cheers
Early Access is unfinished, and quite simply, I'm not prepared to pay for an unfinished product. You expect a lot of this jank on the PC which is the home of this practice (even then , I avoid it there too), but it absolutely should not be sold on consoles in this kind of unfinished state. This destroys it chances in the console market where first impressions count most.
In multiplayer you cant proseed missions and its buggy to the point were is not fun...get rid of the mini map and add a compass to the top of screen and add pin locations...add custom markers on map
oh i know that error, developers use SteamPipe to upload their games and patches, in the patch they delivered they simply copy pasted the build in the wrong subfolder and the exe was not found by steam. Is an easy fix that they will manage to resolve soon. Source: I am a developer.
Great vid - thanks. No craft from chest, inventory fills up every 5 mins. Offline play mode coming in 2025. LOL! Player Character Customizations coming in Q2 2025 They have a roadmap to 2026 that looks like things that should be in the game at launch. Wow. Back to Valheim!
@ I waited on the countdown screen on PS5, until I could finally start it. I was hyped. I got in the game and it crashed once I wanted to acces the settings. Afterwards I thought just to start it… crashed again. A small update got pushed just now, updated the game and restarted it. Now it crashes directly after the “Unreal” logo is displayed. I never had this issue with any game on my Playstation(s). Disappointed ☹️…
It’s a shame this exists in a world where Enshrouded exists. Enshrouded is a must play if you like open world exploration, crafting, and survival. Plus with the new difficulty options, you can make it painfully hard if you want too
Oof the tool system reminds me of pre-world monster hunter, in farming runs you just went into expedition with only pickaxes and materials to make more when they inevitably break
No performance issues like stuttering? The graphics look too good. It reminded me of Ark Survival which was too ambitious while neglecting optimization.
Been playing on PC. No issues with stacking , or using tools automatically (love that feature ). Being short on Inventory etc issue but that is part of challenge of the game. Enjoying it so far. I just wish I can move bldgs / storage boxes after I set it down. Made some mistakes in beginning in placement. But understand that this may not be possible.
😞I'm very disappointed was looking forward to playing this game but it just keep crashing been trying for 30 minutes now still crashing, Hopefully they fix it soon
nearly 7 yr old trailer and to launch like this :(, might kill its game before it gets it in good functioning order when it could be really good but first impressions really matter
When a game is missing quality of life features I simply don't buy it. We basically live in the future and video games still miss quality of life features? No thanks
I got an hour of gameplay in before crashing the early game plants and animals were cool but nothing to write home about but the game has tons of potential given it is in early access I'm not mad or even disappointed what got to see got me excited
I refunded the game since it does not allow mapping movement to the arrow keys. A no starter for me and the same reason why I refunded the new Dragon Age game. I find it odd that modern games are so focused on console gamers, they are forgetting to implement the best characteristics of pc gaming: customizability.
No he didn’t, just watched the video back and he clearly states it’s a missing QOL feature. He did mention they were playing a pre release version of the game but if so he really shouldn’t complain about features that are missing from HIS version that are in the EA release. Oh yeah, that means they’d have to wait and actually play the version we are and miss out on the upload 30 minutes after the game releases to cash in on all the release hype for his channel. How about a considered, fully researched review of a game every now and then?
@atto1355 okay Mr. ignorant at minute 6:43 he says "a lot of the QoL features weren't working" why are you making stuff up instead of just watching the video properly...? Ridiculous
Not a good first impression. Yes I know "early access blah blah blah it's expected". Nah I think I'll pass on this one when will devs stop releasing unfinished products and charging money for it? You don't buy a car with only 2 wheels right?
7 years in development, wants another 2-3 in ea, no thx! Cheers for the vid mate, i already knew this one was a "wait till full release" kinda game, but you made it clear! And why the f, does the interface look like a mobile game for 3-6 yo? If this is the best they got after 7 years of tinkering with it, well you guessed it, ain't f worth it! Appreciate the info, have a great one!

Brother preaching, heck i cannot play valheim without mods because of this. Even when equipped they still use inventory space.
Yes. Separate inventory by category. Devs dont realise just how time consuming arranging all your crap is
why it's the dev who need to learn and not you who need to learn basic inventory management ? stop being greedy when you loot, and backtrack
@@anthonybaleur9296 You're such a devoted gamer. Did the devs at least give you a free cookie for all your hard work?

still very interested in the game i'll give it a few updates before I think about buying the game.
Takes a little to get use to but now that I’m getting it …. I gotta say its definitely not bad for 30$
Sounds like one to play in a year or so when it's much more polished (/not broken).
its mostly QOL features missing, i have over 7 hours now in one day. Its really good, but surely with some time to polish it will be GREAT
Tbf, this is the 1st game for this development team and they are patching really quickly a lot of stuff
That's great! We were hopeful that would be the case.
And they are actually listening to the player base who are playing it and giving feedback on their discord and not to some executives in a boardroom
There are keys for transfer and quick transfer right at the bottom of the inventory screen....
They didn’t work during our testing. We said as much in the video
@LegacyGamingUS Fair enough. I must have missed that. Thanks for the review. Probably gonna give this one some time to mature a bit before I spend my money. Appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

if you build the other building we can build. The fertilizer farm. you can make cob.
Time to use your brain instead of expecting the game to spoon feed you.

It's EA? It IS in the oven. ::scratches head::
Bugs that were fixed day one and will have its 4th patch tomorrow lmao sounds like “it’s not perfect day one so I’m quitting” game is now much better after patch yesterday big overhaul patch. And this is one dev team that is actually listening to its player base instead of some executives in a board room
This game need to be polished but its one of my 2024 fav games for now
No character creator at launch was what prevented me from preordering and why I will wait until next year when they add it. Baffling choice
Character creators are a pointless waste of dev time.
@ considering the backlash around no character creator that they are getting and the fact that its on their roadmap bc they know its a necessity, I’d say you couldn’t be more wrong lol.
@@Xl_Fenrir_lX Your character has a fucking mask on, what's the point of having Johnny depp's facial features ?
@@JohnChao77that’s why they have names in because they have even made any face structure for the character creations watch when they add you’ll be able to see face
Were you able to dive? seems that option is there, but not keybound to anything and I couldn't find any way to re-keybind that option. Seems fun though
It's good someone is addressing issues. The game needs work. I got it specifically with multi-player in mind. Once you play enough to unlock multi-player I come to find it's a wreck. All the buildings lag in and out consistently dropping you threw the map, and weapons don't even work. It was unplayable. Unfortunately I'll be waiting for more updates.
The biggest gripe I have is the inventory space you are limited to. Why can’t players build as many chests as they want . Limiting chests and they have such a small amount of slots makes gameplay less enjoyable and inventory management impossible. If each production building came with a couple of decent chest would help but they have to have a lot more slots either way. But I’ve had no crashes and gameplay is smooth so I’m sticking with it and look forward to what comes in further patches
The update yesterday changed it to having 10 chests with small having 10 slots that’s 128 storage slots (9 small + 1 medium you start with) as well with a multitude of QoL improvements
Yeah mine was crashing as soon as I went to settings then I got an update it installed now I can’t get on it crashes immediately
Reinstall, that fixed mine
Really like the resource management system based on sustainability, and that there is actually an overarching questline with dialogue - a step above most survival sandboxes. I'm disappointed about the coop not being part of the questing, and also the fact I'll have to wait until 2026 just to see some of that, assuming it isn't abandoned in EA like so many others.
I love the movement physics... not enough good non triple A's with good movement physics... We need more of that.
The glider is on a high rock in the first island in front of aman sanctuary
Haven’t run into any crashing problems yet, its really rough to play though. The game mechanics are nice and fun, but to progress sucks from your inventory management, to radial wheel, even the game play loses immersion after seeing the flaws. I would have recommended that the devs put more time. It just feels like the game was put into early access too early in its development.
I got to the current end of the game and it pissed me off. It ran credits but it left so many things unanswered.
1. What is the withering?
2. It is suggested that humans caused the withering, but is it true?
Other issues.
1. Building tends to be perminante structures. You can't move them or chests or many other things. So when the towns teir up and change it can mess up or hide things you built. I ended losing chests and had buildings end up in the foundation of the town cause it exspanded when it teired up.
They shouldn't have put credits where they did. Should have just put a message that was the exstent of the current content but more is to come. Makes the game feel rather empty.
Started 2 days ago, haven't found any issues, really enjoying it...... and never thought I would.
So does F and D not work becusse it does say quick stack and transfer?
Correct it wasn't working for us
Games looks beautiful and like a chore you don’t want to do.
Why were you spanking that Beetlepup with a shovel :(
Prefab buildings are nice for me. Im not ofteb in the mood for building every structure myself, but I usually always enjoy organizing buildings
Uninstalled and reinstalled it and it started working, but there’s no basic option to invert Y axis for camera control so it’s unplayable for me as a Y axis inverted player. Crazy not to have that basic option.
Dang, I invert mine too. Now I'm thinking I shouldn't have bought it
This is a bug it will be fixed
Hope it is a bug. Always invert y
@@msmopie Yes, treat your third person character like it's an aeroplane.
There is an invert input option now
How do you place craft bench and such on ps5
Amazing video, made clear everything reg the game. I was interested in the game but now seeing you playing, I believe I was expecting some more survival content (maybe I didn't get the game concept right). Inventory shortage frustrates really fast.
You can get the glider right at the beginning, even before you build the village.
Yeah, we pointed that out.
I played 7am Saturday and then I had to stop because it's was 7am Sunday morning. But it's needs bug fixing. Since I glitch out a lot of time. Right now. I'm stuck in a plant
How can i Player with my friends on Steam we alrdy conect with Epic game still dont worked
4:25 So you're punished for being a meat eater and rewarded for being a vegetarian?
At least make it free while early access.. so much more would test for bugs etc. On such a start people wont even buy it anymore. They need a major save to steer the ship now.
I agree and disagree. It is definitely too early and there should be bug fixes and feedback while taking more time on it.
But in the same token, itf they aren't a major studio with years of work and games under their belt then it's probably difficult to get the funding to do this.
Everyone needs to pay their bills because they are working for a living and no one should ever expect to have games handed to them for free without there being some means of them funding the project.
Are there any multiplayer trophies?
far too many games are released early access and alot never get updated or finished , my steam list must have 20+ games who are early access which ive played and then stopped because of little or updates over a year or more .this is a growing trend in too many games .
The only game I've really actually anticipated. Shame it's off to such a rough start. I figured that some of the gameplay would be pretty janky in combat, etc., but hopefully they get the tech cleaned up quickly.
It’s early access so it’s to be expected. That’s why I do not play early access games
The only game that promised to be great, is Forbidden West. All other open-world games were crap. Never played NMS, so I started with that last week. Somehow it's great
@walter9085 NMS had a very rough start but with all the updates it one the best survival/exploration games out there there days
Haven't had any of these issues so maybe I'm lucky but I've been really enjoying the game a lot though I wish exploration could be rewarded a little more, if not cool loot just really cool hidden places with lore. Maybe I'm just not far enough in the game though.
Bought it, hated it, had problems with it from the moment I started playing. it was refunded on steam but I do hope to buy it again in the future. I'm just hoping that the developers do right by the community so that we can do right by them. cheers
If game crashed when clicking settings than delete game and re download this will fix most cases
Seems really interesting. If they fix the qol issues you describe in the review I think I will certainly play
Early Access is unfinished, and quite simply, I'm not prepared to pay for an unfinished product. You expect a lot of this jank on the PC which is the home of this practice (even then , I avoid it there too), but it absolutely should not be sold on consoles in this kind of unfinished state.
This destroys it chances in the console market where first impressions count most.
Game of the Year last year BG3 used early access for years to become the wonderful game we got
In multiplayer you cant proseed missions and its buggy to the point were is not fun...get rid of the mini map and add a compass to the top of screen and add pin locations...add custom markers on map
The game is like a cheesburger from McDonalds, the advertising looks stunning but what I buy looks like shit.
oh i know that error, developers use SteamPipe to upload their games and patches, in the patch they delivered they simply copy pasted the build in the wrong subfolder and the exe was not found by steam. Is an easy fix that they will manage to resolve soon.
Source: I am a developer.
Is it crossplay between PC and PS5?
Great vid - thanks.
No craft from chest, inventory fills up every 5 mins.
Offline play mode coming in 2025. LOL!
Player Character Customizations coming in Q2 2025
They have a roadmap to 2026 that looks like things that should be in the game at launch. Wow.
Back to Valheim!
but you can craft from chest. Use the chest they provided in the first town you make
I very much prefer the gibberish. I hate voice acting. If I wanted that I would watch a movie.
Is there no character creation at all?
It’s crashing at launch…
Interesting, ours is working perfectly fine today.
@ I waited on the countdown screen on PS5, until I could finally start it. I was hyped. I got in the game and it crashed once I wanted to acces the settings. Afterwards I thought just to start it… crashed again. A small update got pushed just now, updated the game and restarted it. Now it crashes directly after the “Unreal” logo is displayed. I never had this issue with any game on my Playstation(s). Disappointed ☹️…
Yeah I'm super bumbed I was hyped and can't even launch the game
@@manolom6698mine does the same
@@manolom6698Same Problem 😢
It’s a shame this exists in a world where Enshrouded exists. Enshrouded is a must play if you like open world exploration, crafting, and survival. Plus with the new difficulty options, you can make it painfully hard if you want too
This looks interesting but I agree I would prefer playing Enshrouded on harder settings or Soulmask which is a beautiful game with lots of content.
Enshrouded isn't out on consoles though
This almost looks like a Breath of the Wild mod.
Oof the tool system reminds me of pre-world monster hunter, in farming runs you just went into expedition with only pickaxes and materials to make more when they inevitably break
No performance issues like stuttering? The graphics look too good. It reminded me of Ark Survival which was too ambitious while neglecting optimization.
We didn't have issues but we also play on juiced rigs.
3:49 when the game going super successful. Nintendo and tpc gonna be like: here we go again.
Is this on ps4 too?
I dont know what you use as reference for saying it looks like Studio Ghibli. The creatures and fauna look way more like from Avatar
Looks great in concept but definitely a game I wait a few updates for.
Been playing on PC. No issues with stacking , or using tools automatically (love that feature ). Being short on Inventory etc issue but that is part of challenge of the game. Enjoying it so far. I just wish I can move bldgs / storage boxes after I set it down. Made some mistakes in beginning in placement. But understand that this may not be possible.
I'm weathering the storm since it's early access 15hrs in not too bad
😞I'm very disappointed was looking forward to playing this game but it just keep crashing been trying for 30 minutes now still crashing, Hopefully they fix it soon
Is that temtem music in the background
nearly 7 yr old trailer and to launch like this :(, might kill its game before it gets it in good functioning order when it could be really good but first impressions really matter
Damn this is really close to an idea I had for a game
When a game is missing quality of life features I simply don't buy it. We basically live in the future and video games still miss quality of life features? No thanks
That dialogue would absolutely drive me up a wall. That’s enough for me to never touch it.
Shhh we don't say the P word otherwise a certain company will start another baseless ash hunt.
I got an hour of gameplay in before crashing the early game plants and animals were cool but nothing to write home about but the game has tons of potential given it is in early access I'm not mad or even disappointed what got to see got me excited
I refunded the game since it does not allow mapping movement to the arrow keys. A no starter for me and the same reason why I refunded the new Dragon Age game. I find it odd that modern games are so focused on console gamers, they are forgetting to implement the best characteristics of pc gaming: customizability.
havent played but when u moving items to storage it clearly says on on your screen quick transfer
Yes, and it doesn't work as we stated lol.
Nobody said that the feature is not there bud, he clearly said it's not working.
No he didn’t, just watched the video back and he clearly states it’s a missing QOL feature. He did mention they were playing a pre release version of the game but if so he really shouldn’t complain about features that are missing from HIS version that are in the EA release.
Oh yeah, that means they’d have to wait and actually play the version we are and miss out on the upload 30 minutes after the game releases to cash in on all the release hype for his channel.
How about a considered, fully researched review of a game every now and then?
@atto1355 okay Mr. ignorant at minute 6:43 he says "a lot of the QoL features weren't working" why are you making stuff up instead of just watching the video properly...? Ridiculous
Again somehow I missed that, even though I watched the video repeatedly. 🤦♂️
Not a good first impression. Yes I know "early access blah blah blah it's expected". Nah I think I'll pass on this one when will devs stop releasing unfinished products and charging money for it? You don't buy a car with only 2 wheels right?
So far from the video, it looks like the gameplay is similar to palia.
Gald I waited…
7 years in development, wants another 2-3 in ea, no thx! Cheers for the vid mate, i already knew this one was a "wait till full release" kinda game, but you made it clear! And why the f, does the interface look like a mobile game for 3-6 yo? If this is the best they got after 7 years of tinkering with it, well you guessed it, ain't f worth it! Appreciate the info, have a great one!
What an entitled douche lol
It is not working on my two ps5 😅
No FOV controls = refund.
Wonder is Nintendo will sue them
I’ll buy this next year 👍🏼
Its givin palworld vibes with the crashings
I was hoping this game would be more of a Shadow Of The Colossus mythical experience, but it’s a pretty basic suvival RPG… shame
Will you eventually be able to craft a rocket launcher?
