Is this game really boring like people say?

[domiinikk]

title, yes or no

[Solar Flare]

No!

[AI Sin || SinNoAria]

I'd say that the game is not as boring as people say, but also not as great as some people claim. It is a pretty normal game that incorporates good ideas from various games.

Some players will experience issues on the PC version, some players won't. I know I have abnormally long load times and the game does have a tendency to cause issues with my system (I have a ryzen 9 and a rtx 3080 and 64 gb ram, btw, so not a potato).

game has more of a player base than most multiplayer designed games. boring is a subjective opinion.

The first few hours kinda are, but once you start getting stuff like the exo-skeleton's, the bikes and other useful tools and start to dive into the whole building ♥♥♥♥ shindig it get's pretty fun

The first 50% of the game are intentionally boring and frustrating by design to drive a point home... That being said it's a unique game, doesn't mean it's good. The story is basically Kingdom Hearts lvl bad and there's this ludonarritive dissonance, where points of the story get completely ignored by the protagonist, it is all disconnected and your actions in the game don't really matter to the story. There are so many cutscenes for mundane tasks in the gameplay which you ether have to watch and then be able to skip or cannot skip a certain amount you have to watch over and over. Like delivering packages and getting some generic response from the quest Npc. The menu is awfully clunky, worse than MGS5 phantom pain. I mean people bought this game because there was a certain name attached. And Kojima called everyone that didn't "get his genius" because americans "like first person shooters and death stranding isn't one" stupid. Which i don't think is an apropriate respone when reacting to valid criticism.

This is your own opinion, not a fact. Story being bad or good is subjective. I for example really like the story. And you are probably one of those who don't like the long cutscenes. I like long cutscenes. And i don't get why every game should have an option for the player to choose how the story will go these days? I am personally not much fan of this, because if you can choose how the story will go, then the cutscenes are usually not very well made or at least not fully motion cap cinematic like that. I prefer one strait well made and fully cinematic story.

I'll put it this way. If you enjoy walking in nature and overcoming a simple terrain and delivering packages from point A to point B with all the difficulties that the nature can offer on your way (and believe me, these things are very well made in the game), then go for it.
If you want constant fighting or shooting and constantly feel some enemy threat, then it's gonna be probably boring for you. It's true that this game is simply not for everybody.

[SHARK1501]

No in my opinion. It's different. Don't go in expecting a shooter because it's not and killing people is definitely more of a hindrance than help. For me the experience was traversing a vast landscape with my packages. You build structures that aide you but others as well so the idea is by doing so your binding yourself or tying knots to connect to other people. I've definitely not played another game like this. Took a lot to process what is going on in the cutscenes.

Most stressful thing for me was those darn BTs and mules stealing my packages!!!

Yes, it's awful and poorly optimised for PC.

? Your Optimisation claim couldn't be further from the truth.

[Groovy]

WE cannot answer this question. The story is nice for me so far. I play games and persivere for the story alone in many games (loved Deadly premonition for example). Lovely game, but that question can only be answered by yourself

[Shellbie]

I like this game, but I am a passive player.

[Tormentor89]

One of the best games I've played in recent times.

[Nats]

Its a very confusing game, that's for sure. I don't like all the other players helping me out that's just annoying ruins the surprise. Its a bit of a laborious game to play as well. And very slow. But it does have some redeeming features.

Not sure yet that it's a good game exactly, whether it will draw me into playing it every day for a month.

I actually agree with this in part... My issue is the inventory system, at first it's VERY confusing. Almost as confusing as scum (if you've ever played that you'll know what I mean)
