What’s even the point in these kinds of comments? The game doesn’t rely on the player community being large so why even bring it up?
I would assume their point was that a lot of games seem to be driven by self propelling hype I’m not saying it’s not necessarily a bad game, I just think that he means everyone will have forgotten about it by then and everyone will jump on the next hype train
I guess there’s nothing really being added to the conversation but I do see it in my friend groups where people hype up a game, buy it for a week then it’s never mentioned again, the last one being lethal company
You nailed it. To the other commenters, my point is not that there wont be people playing it at all in a month. More that in a short amount of time the perceived “greatness” of this game will no longer be the consensus. Games that get this kind of hype excel on that hype alone, most times it’s fueled by streamers who are filling a gap while they wait for a more anticipated game to launch. Once players get a couple weeks in the honeymoon phase subsides and we are left with another early access title that was never really that great in the first place. It has been out 2 days. I’ll be happy to come back and say I was wrong. Time will tell. I’ll go back the patientgamers now.
I realize this is the linux gaming sub, but it’s worth mentioning that this is on Gamepass too (I still use Gamepass on Xbox even though I don’t game on Windows anymore).
Xbox cloud seems like a decent alternative when games simply don’t run easily on Linux
are there any games not running easily in linux these days?
i mean apart from games with anticheat blocking it.
Yeah, of course. There are plenty. I couldn’t play Ghostwire Tokyo at all. And Ghostrunner required some random Windows package, vc2019 or something like that. That’s just off the top of my head.
Xbox cloud requires a controller, which kinda defeats the purpose of playing on PC imho.
That said, it DOES work well if you’re into that kinda thing. I tested it out with MS Edge installed via flatpak.
This is like a merge of Satisfactory and Ark Survival?
Can confirm, ran fine on my desktop machine without needing to tinker (caveat: I changed the “compatibility layer” to use proton-ge before attempting to launch it of my own initiative).
Make no mistake, this is an early release survival/crafting budget game. The engine itself is fairly limited and feels more like a free mmo from 10 years ago than an Ubisoft game. It’s fun, though. It has all that stuff which is advertised, and I’ve been having fun with it. It’s a Skyrim kind of enjoyment, vast and shallow, but the vastness has its own appeal.
Unfortunately this seems like the kind of game which is going to be completely ruined in about a year. It is clearly set up to farm microtransactions in the future. Right now in the goodwill period the game functions like an actual game. Some people may want them to “finish” the game before they get it, but that’s not the kind of game this is. The full release is now. In a year the game will be an unplayable skinner box.
