Pause game

[Dragonsblade]

And again, we have another game that lets you play alone, but no PAUSE.
I'm disabled, and this is a must for me, and I'm sure many other players out there.
Will it be a feature at some point?

Seems it becoming a norm for Games not having standard features nowadays. I'm 100% disabled to and Bloom and some other standard controls are missing from what i have read so far,

Surprising considering I have 124 hours in the Demo and it played flawlessly for me the whole time. Will have to wait to get the game myself as they sort of priced a EA game a bit high for me. But will keep reading and watching how things turn out.

Addendum:
Yeah not all the quest are set up so you can complete them if you have any disabilities that can stop you from doing the parkour in the game. Getting the Farmer is out for me due to the double grappling hook thing they have set up. after a few dozen tries and dying over and over I give up. This is a game stopper as the Farmer is needed in so many areas of the game.

Note at the Devs:
They could take some pointers from games like Dishonored, by making more then one way to achieve the goal you need to do. some of the Dungeons do have alternate ways in. Just not this one to get to the Farmer, Not caring if I get all the loot box's or not just getting to the NPC is enough. A simple fix would be to make that one button where it can be shot and triggered. though Bow shots may not be able to even reach it.

Unlikely, but yeah this is annoying in single player games. The amount of times I had to 'return to menu' in Palworld when I had to run to do something quickly was annoying.

I have to agree. I was a bit shocked when I loaded a private game, and saw that when I pressed pause, it didn't actually pause.

I presume it's because they built game multiplayer-first, as in, single player was a bit of an afterthought (which is why they probably call it private mode, because it's more like a private self-hosted server, than an actual singleplayer experience).

The likelihood of them changing this is close to 0. It would just be an immense amount of work for little reward.

click the feedback button in the game, and search for pause in the suggestions section. Vote it up. If they get enough people voting it up, they may put this in. I don't think it is a lot of work to put in code to freeze the game when a certain button is pushed, many other games can do it. They would also see an increase in interest for people who just like to play games solo.

Have you found a way to disable Bloom?

Thanks, I did that. Hopefully it will get enough votes!

yea.. i play solo because i get randomly busy..
i need a pause button

[We.Are.Simulated]

Yea I am blown away that this game has no ability to pause! Solo people don't want to run out the clock because they stepped away for whatever reason.

[jollibee]

just died because I have to step away for a few seconds, we need a pause right away

Survival games and pause sadly do not make sense together.. This isn't a rpg game yes it has elements but it's not that style of game. Pause in a survival game well remove a few main elements we look for in this style of game. You have to think as if your trying to survive in a world not just randomly pause your life lol. Sadly i do understand that for some people its hard but changing a game play on a game like this well backfire more then it would keeping it the same.. Conan exiles and games like this are hardcore survival for reasons. Maybe someone well make a mod for you just keep a eye out on nexus.

just go to main menus when you have to leave your pc.. It's very simple and only takes a sec to do. Save yourself the time and deaths lol.

It is not meant to be just like real life, games are an escape from reality. If reality demands it, we have to break from the game to deal with life. There is no downside to them putting in a pause feature, and it would only help to get them more players who have busier lives. Every game that is not online should have a way to pause it, otherwise it hurts the game.

yes yes but if they bend down to every demand like this people have its no longer a survival game.. why buy a survival game at all then not want the style of survival game??? Makes no sense to us people who love these kinds of games.

Because their end goal is to sell the game. Why are you able to pause a sports game? It is not "realistic" to pause the action of a sports game. Why can you pause in the middle of a fight in any game? Is that realistic? This has nothing to do with being realistic, it is about being practical. You don't have to use pause if it is there, but many of us have lives that demand our attention now and then, and this makes the game more enjoyable for us by being able to pause it. People who want a pause button also loves these kinds of games.

A pause feature doesn't have to let you use menus or anything else while it is paused, just freeze everything until you unpause it. There is no downside to having this in any game.

your missing the massive point of this style of game.. You just want a simple rpg style game with pause so you buy games that are survival to just complain about it.. Save us all the time wasted and just stay away from that style of game.. cause your always going to not like it cause THEY do not have a pause. That is one of the main things us survival players look for. Also its so simple to just log to main screen its unreal. This Style OF game IS for survival players not casual players. im sorry its just how it is. You don't have to like it but its a thing. Then again that is like expecting people to have common sense on games and category's of that style games.. This is pointless to even be in this topic lol. The seer amount of people who love this style of game the way it is well very much our weight your ideals on this topic. It's what we Look for what we want. Might be hard to understand sadly but it is a thing we enjoy.
