trust isus with pathea

[ironge]

so why should i trust you and buy this game when almost 2 years ago you realese a broken game with bad animations awefull cutscenes a ton of bugs that still till this day need a bunch of work and new content .my time at portia need so many stuff added to be at the point that is a whole game to enjoy and you start developing a new game that clearly shaw us that is not a sequel because the world the map the charachter nothing looks the same. we payed 30$ for a game that should have cost 10$ because of the lack of content why should we do it again>? and at kickstarter you asking for money to add content that should be in the game nomatter what thats ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ . develop better my time at portia make it worthly the 30$ and then add my time shandrock

Have you even played Portia since full release? It's got a full story with a ending and side NPC story quests. If the games not for you then that's fine but to just make stuff up is kinda scummy on your part. I assume you live in a place where $30 is a considerable amount of money and you may feel ripped off if you didn't enjoy the end product but we got a full game in the end. If you bought it in EA maybe buying into EA games isn't a good idea for you.

so i still play the game i have finish it a long time ago and 2 times .so you telling me that making money from a kickstarter for the game and then charge 30$ for and unfinised game is normal okey for you it is lets talk about the bugs the animations the cut scenes the levels desing the crushes lets talk about psysics . the game has a great potential you talking about the story what story ? everythink is open mystirious man shop addit lost the woman from shark pirates the story from you pa witch one day comes you built a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ plane gives you a flying pig and leaves wow such a complicate story. i have built everythink the musium is complete and full with all the stuff my house has everythink i have finish most of the missions you talk about witch is one in 1 year wow . and the developers dont care about the game after the friendship with higgins tell me a missions that has some intersting the only think you cant do is take commision to be the first builter .the cut scenes is trash nothing is sychronized the sound is way off . after 3 year the only think i do is wake up take comission go to bed everythink is at max so farming is not nesecery. the interactions is the same with npcs every time . you dont have anythink to do after one point the developers put most of this stuff a year after the realise of the game thats normal for you >? / travelling to other citys open more ruins have better interaction with npcs . you built a bunch of thinks and cant do anytink with them you can put the in your yard that it and not all of them . they can make you join the flying pigs or civil corps and do patrolling with arlo or take commision to kill some boses at lvls. you can have more options to your house dont get me start with the decoresion and how stuff dont get at the same angle and dont go all the way back to the wall . they can put more charachters not just a drunk builter that retire in a home at mars. new dialoges more clothes more dating options .their is so many stuff possible to do but they dont care this, i have a great time now i am on the 7th year in one charachter and a 4th year in the second character . the game has a lot of stuff to give and making a new game isnt the right path

I'll skip trying to find a quest you find interesting as what you find interesting is 100% subjective, I can however say I just now before typing this booted up the game and watched the intro cutscene on a new save and all the voice acting was in sync with the mouths. "I don't like the story so there is no story" is what I'm getting from this, there IS a story, whether you think it's interesting or not.
Dad leave you a workshop, you set up as a builder, get use to the town, take jobs, solve problems expand the town and unlock the desert, cliffs and a swamp, learn a little about other cities, thwart some terrorists and even meat your father before he goes off to travel to new lands again.
On the note of traveling to other cities and stuff, how much do you expect from a $30 indie game? Instead of doing DLC they wanted to make a new game set in the same world, what's the problem?

[ironge]

so i will pay 30$ to see sandrock 30$ to see vega5 30$ to see atara and that goes on. so now we can agree at the dlc think if the developers want to make the game better with a dlc i will buy it and enjoy it .but a lot of people agree with that the game need a lot of work i guess you like to spend your money and dont complain if somethink isnt good . but pathea need to do a lot of hard work to prove that can release a quality game. and my time at sandrock has clearly shaw us that is a differend game at the same universe the graphics the art work the charachters everythink is differend

[ironge]

also search here in steam what you could buy for 30$ and you will be supriced what diamonds you can find like little nightmares 2 witch is one of the best games that will be realesed this year and its the same money with my time at portia and so many other games so dont tell me that my times at portia should be at 30$ with what they offer

[Supervisor]

oh yeah, let me play little nightmares 2 and befriend the guy with the shotgun and merry his daughter, plants crops in the drains and expand the farm... oh wait, it's two 100% different types of games and you can't do that, Go over there and complain in their comment section that the game is unfinished cuz even though you payed $30 you can't build relationships and fight colorful weird animals to build some nerds hand mirror in exchange for 120 money.

[Supervisor]

Also unsubbing from this one, it's clear you for some reason expected a WHOLE WORLD of un promised content within your builder slice of life game and are comparing it to games that you happen to like more but are nothing like this game in genre and scope of content.

[Hattie]

I mean if you've played through it twice sounds like you got your moneys worth and enjoyed it, so will probably enjoy this next one. I've got over 100 hours and have only finished it once

[The Bard of Shale]

True, Portia may have been a little buggy and the loading screens were too long for my liking, but I still enjoyed the game. Though, I feel the team will resolve these issues by the release. I'm looking forward to Sandrock, as I do like the more industrial look to it with the trains and robots.

[Arinin]

My Time at Portia is one of the few indie games I enjoy playing. Not many games can keep my attention for 170+ hours and still find it an enjoyable experience.

[Rhysandie]

I understand where you're coming from (and am partially frustrated myself with some of the issues you pointed out), but it doesn't give me the same amounts of stress is seems to be giving you. Maybe this series isn't for you? Judging from your comments, it's only going to get worse the more you immerse yourself in something you don't like. So don't trust them. Don't buy the game. No one's forcing you to anyway, lol.

HOWEVER, if you want them to improve their previous or next game, I'm sure a little constructive criticism would go a long way compared to attack the devs :)

It might be more worth reading your complaints if you could learn how to use your enter key to make paragraphs out of your massive walls of text.

@ironge
I don't mean to be the bad guy but, it seems to me the problem is not Pathea or My Time At Portia, but your expectations. Its sounds like you want a open world sandbox game, not a building/farming/dating sim. I don't feel like this needs to be pointed out, but I'll do the job anyway, for the sake of defending a game that clearly deserves to be defended.

1- Certain Content in the Game was not unlockable later in the game (if you passed certain heart points in old save files before the new content was released) So if you have two characters in late game, you might have missed some content based on when you started your characters in real life. I noticed this problem and had to restart some of my older save files to experince certain cut sense that were missing in earlier release of the game.

2- There objectively IS a story.
Other have pointed this out.

3- The game is finished.
After many free updates from its initial release, the game of Portia, as far as I can tell, is completed. The issue is NOT that the game is incomplete, its that YOU do no like the extent of the game. I have not faced any crashes with this game, ever, and the few bugs I faced were fixed quickly. Load times are long at first, but not unbareable. The game is FAR from broken or unplayble.. Its a quality game. Any bugs, glitches, others have seen in the past, are likely gone now. So to claim the developers did not fufill their promise, is a lie. They did. Again the issue is your expectation. This is not a sandbox game, though it is free flowing, its mostly linear. This is not a massive procedurally generated universe, its a concise, small map that was hand crafted, ( assume). This is not an endless story, the story does seem to end (as far as I've played.) This is NOT a AAA title, meaning the budget is small, they NEEEDED a kickstarter to make this little gem and they deserve credit for fulfilling their goals with what little they did receive. They asked a reasonable price for a game like this, Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons titles with less content have been selling for that much for decades, ( I still buy them anyway.) This is not what you expected because you didn't pay attention to what the game was advertised to be. You cannot ask for endlessly more content to be added to the game without additional payment. Not all games are comparable. You are literally saying things as silly as "Why doesn't this book have pictures and audio, all books should have audio, because this one book a bought for cheap was an audio book. And comics have pictures!" ---- You can't expect something for nothing, that's ridiculous. There are reasons people require DLC to make games grow, games don't grow without money, and this game grew as much as it was designed to. Now the developers want to move on.

4- Sorry if any of this comes of as insulting or mean. I don't mean to be mean, but I think your expectations for your 30 dollars is a little unrealistic. If you got even 100 hours out of the game, that's 30 cents per hour of entertainment. That's not a lot of money to ask for.

5- Ultimately, there is no trust issue with Pathea based on your claims. Pathea is very trustworthy in my opinion. You got exactly what you paid for, a completed farming/building/dating sim. However it sounds like that's simply not the type of game you like to play, or that's not what you thought you were buying. I'm sorry for the confusion, but don't take it out on the developers, they did their job perfectly.

Liz-with-a-Smile thanks man that you put your thoughts like this and explain it . i whould buy dlc for my time at portia i still play the game and because i love it i dont want it to end .so because i still play it i am keep seeing all this stuff that is getting more annoying .so if you go trought the game you can see some closed entances for some ruins and i gues that poster with that wanted guy it will some day put to the game so we can hunt them down all i want is some little stuff get inprove not some major stuuf and when i say more interaction i mean more mini games at dates some dialogue . to put huss and tuss at option to be friends or mali she visit some days at a month but is okey still you can give her presents and be friends . at building it whould be cool to do more stuff or the comission change a little. in one week i just craft 10 leather belts because most of the S comisions are that or wooden pillars at friadays they give you some times a big project but if you play a long time is a matter of 30 minutes to built it .it whould be amazing if the put in the game some commsions that you cou can compete with other cities but portia have 2-3 builders to make one think and get big prizes i mean thats easy to set it up and put it to the game . i whould love to see sandrock in 1-2 years because i think they rushing it again their is no point to put out in the market a game that its not finished and then improve it . what makes me have second thoughts if i buy it is that in trailers is a whole different thing everythink is differend even the art style the first thing that come to my mind is that their loosing their charechter of the first game the authenticity i mean if the put a 3rd game out what it whould look like . THANKS EVERYONE THAT PUT THE THOUGS THEY GOT AND TRY TO EXLAIN IT AND NOT DEFENDE SOMETHINK JUST TO DEFEND IT WITH NO REASON <3 <3 <3 and propably i whould buy sandrock because a want to be somethink good and keep the "legacy" of portia but i whould be very sad if its bad

[Skull Punch]

Maybe it's best you just sit this one out. Wait 3 years see if the games finished, then buy it on a Summer sale for 10$. That's an option, you don't have to buy into a game on day 1.
