Only small teams are able to be hurt by this kind of allegation. Giants like EA flaunt it as part of the "new normal" but cant be touched. A company like Sandfall that is so inventive and brings us this great masterpiece gets tarnished. Sad.
lmao. I dont care about Helldivers but this is like when Ronny Yu directed Freddy Vs Jason and we ended up with Robert England doing wrestling moves. What crap.
I haven't played the Division but from what I've heard comparatively, this one is purposely meant to be much slower-paced. More stealthy scavenging and less out-right frantic fighting.
Maybe this game is a "square peg, round hole" kind of thing for you.
To me this gives me a lot of older MMO exploration and pacing feels. Like Everquest as compared to WoW.
If this one isn't it - I hope you find something that fits for you.
Are you content with a crafting game loop? Finding ingredients, upgrading your personal crafting tables and upgrading your character. Ultimately you have to be happy searching for materials and making your character stronger. Along the way hopefully learning strategies to live longer when out on recon missions.
That said, I am usually content with a game loop for about 3-4 weeks. Beyond that who knows. I'll probably move onto something else looong before any advertised game life.
Put simply if you want to play it you'll find a reason. If not, play something else.
I picked this one up. Immediately enjoyed it while playing the server-slam weekend. Love the loop of scavenging for items and crafting. The danger of losing items made each run feellike an old-school EQ dungeon run.

That depends on the player I think.
Are you content with a crafting game loop? Finding ingredients, upgrading your personal crafting tables and upgrading your character. Ultimately you have to be happy searching for materials and making your character stronger. Along the way hopefully learning strategies to live longer when out on recon missions.
That said, I am usually content with a game loop for about 3-4 weeks. Beyond that who knows. I'll probably move onto something else looong before any advertised game life.
