anybody else bored of this game?

[splitet]

the terraria community is so soft and squishy i'm just gonna go ahead and say it, this game is NOWHERE NEAR a masterpiece, the game goes on 3 base gimicks build, fight and "explore" most biomes are very similar but with more annoying enemies, maybe a new ore and a new theme, speaking of enemies they absolutely implemented them TERRIBLY, instead of knowing when and where they spawn the devs just said f\ck it and had enemies spawn every five second in EVERY STAGE OF THE GAME. how am i supposed to get better summoner items without finch staff? you don't. how do you beat any boss as a melee without a projectile because god forbid they'd rework bosses to be semi fair? you don't. the games repetitive and isn't even a challenge, its just straight up annoying and feels like a waste of time, i don't hate this game but i definitely haven't been looking at it fondly these past couple of years, its a 5/10 at most unless you have mods so the games semi enjoyable, and don't even get me started on the world gen. its literally terrible, floating clumps of dirt, corruption at spawn, nearly un traversable without flight, also instead of corruption growing after say a boss or a event they just said woopsie daisy lets have a plague that prevents npc spawns and is terrible at every point of the game spread every minute so that you cant take your time to appreciate the game!

also the setups for each build in pre hardmode (besides maybe range) is pretty trash even after 1.4.4, the only piece of armor for mage is jungle armor which makes you go to the worst biome in the game with nearly no combat capability, its just get item die and go back to get more item its super annoying and a very bad look for new player (unless your brainwashed and cant fathom somebody not having an amazing opinion on something you love) and i have 1.500 hours on tmod and nearly 700 on vanilla so i didn't just pull this outta my ass.



p.s. minecraft didn't deserve a single dollar they made, sh is STILL in beta and its been a decade now and the content compared to terraria is so much more lackluster it makes terraria seem like a modern art piece.

> because how immature the community is

That's a general trend in gaming worldwide, you know.

From one side, less mature people tend to be focused on gaming more. Because something allows them ignoring adult problems. Be it good salary at some company which had a mispleasure of hiring them, or some rent from some inheritance, or some cash from still-alive parents.

From the other side, modern practices of predatory gaming tend to cater for said semi-sentient gamers more. Because they'll eat anything. Thus, one might save some cash on testing and customer support.

How it manifests at Terraria... honestly, not the worst ♥♥♥♥ I've witnessed.
The most immature community I've ever seen was in World of Tanks - and I had a misfortune of working there. So I can provide an insight that the ♥♥♥♥ was so dire so even some developers themselves were quite deranged.

Either with sheer force of post-moderation or by virtue of NOT attracting the sickest of the sickest (because there's CSGO for the latter), Terraria's community is quite... cozy and wholesome?

Believe me, bile puking at ♥♥♥♥ is my hobby.
If I say that the game is decent and the community is quite adequate, I really mean it. Because I never hesitate to call the devil by his name when I see him (and was banned on multiple occasions for it in other communities for doing exactly this).

yeah, i read some comment sections of terraria reviews and they were really just hate comments, that's my bad i just play games i don't really stay in the communitys of them.
terraria community IS quite cozy, ill give you that but thats comparing the bubonic plague (CSGO) to the cold (terraria), NO community is fully mature.

[Útost Alronbem]

I believe reviews do not matter anymore. Or so it looks from the depth of my incomplete degree in sales and marketing.

Lack of legal pursuit for false advertisement made gaming industry a really messy place where indeed it is much easier to buy something, waste refund opportunity time because hey, you can just forget to turn the game off and go make some coffee!, and stay with the game you don't like and can't return.
The only possibility left is to vent in reviews (and at Steam Community).

Screenshots and descriptions on store page (and paid streamers) try to make as many people as possible buy it regardless of if they'll actually like it.

Which ends up in what people without incomplete degree in sales call "review bombing" , complete with heaps of trash on game forums :\

That's for negative reviews, and positive reviews are mostly ASCII arts of Shrek and rants that you CAN pet the dog.


Drat, I'm too talkative today :/

Terraria forums are a ghost town compared to what they were back around the 1.3 days. Now its just people necroing threads from back then, and the usual "files corrupted, what do I do?".

I'm pretty much the only person from back then who checks back in frequently lol. As far as "maturity" goes, this game has always attracted younger people, especially the forums, so maturity is a rare commodity around here.

It was clearly good enough to get you to play for more than 2000 hours. What more do you want? You got more gameplay hours out of a $10-$20 game than most people put into into MMOs that cost $60 and have a monthly fee.

I doubt you actually hate Terraria that much. If you did you never would have spent so long playing it. What you are is burned out. Take a deep breath and put the game away.

it doesn't matter how much you love a game. You'll eventually get tired of it. That's not the problem though. The problem is that you kept forcing yourself to keep playing it after you were tired of the game. Doing that for long enough will make you hate any game. If you're playing something and you find yourself thinking "why do I still play this?" it's time to take a break.

Just stop for a minute and think about you're saying. You're complaining that game got boring after 2000 hours. I mean yeah? You've played Terraria for 83 DAYS. What did you expect to happen? Probably time to find something different to play don't you think?

TLDR you suck and blame the game for your own ineptitude.

There I just saved everyone 5 minutes of their life. Play something else , go outside , get a hobby , if you are this miserable that you felt the need to write a novel about it , just do something , anything else and stop making yourself miserable.

Yes I am bored of it. I also think it's an amazing game. Just wait a bit and come back if you want.

I am also currently bored of elden ring and RDR2 and stuff. But I still plan on playing them again one day. Nothing is supposed to be played all the time.

[TaterTot]

You can play for almost 1000 hours without running out of things to do.
I have literally played every special seed and obtained every achievement before they started adding more after stating there will be no more content added.

Well actually i have one seed to finish. The all seed world. That was super challenging digging upward and starting in the underworld. A challenge on a whole new level.

Try some special seed worlds if you are bored. Or try an all class run with a class you dont use a lot. Many things to do in one of the highest rated games ever made.

read my responses, most of the hours were put into modded or from when i was alot younger, and mods make any game amazing i didn't take a few things into consideration though, such as the sword rework and i don't hate this game and its been a few months since ive played it.
its just a personal opinion and they're are things i like about the game.

not bait or a troll, if i was baiting i wouldn't actually try to see other peoples opinions and views on the game.

Well it sounds like you're just experiencing burnout because if you really thought this game was boring you'd have at least a few hundred or so hours.

[elire01]

OP has a good point but the post is poorly worded.

Terraria is given way too much credit for what it really is and due to long development time has glaring issues in balance and game design. Lead Developer, Andrew, has shifted update focus from adding meaningful content & reasonable balance changes to crossover content and poop blocks as well as appealing to politics of his choice.

Most of the meaningful additions recently are ideas proposed by the players who are starved for the most standard and logical features by the current days standards. The issue isn't with the game itself, it's with how long it's being worked on for and the developer putting it on a back burner.

Terraria has a unique place in the gaming market as there simply is no other game like it that achieved greater success or is still being worked on.
Starbound came close and could be valid alternative to Terraria but Chucklefish wasn't good enough of a developer to manage project this big.
