Boring, empty, lifeless game.

[The Machine]

Barely any animals, Cannibals are so easy they pose no threat. The voice line "GET DOWN SON!" are the only spoken words in the game, and speaking of words, the worst story ever told in the history of telling stories. The only thing good about the game is the building, and it's not good, it's excellent.

There's no way this game was ready for release, and think about the fact they were going to do it before changing their minds to early access. Such a boring game with nothing going on. How has the development team not learned from every game released in the past 17 years, that an open world is only as good as the stuff within it. A huge and empty, boring map doesn't cut it.

All the rooms are copy and paste, there's no variation. Fake personality streamers, screaming into their mics and acting like 5 year olds got the first game to some success. But now with this second game being so empty and boring, do the devs have any heart whatsoever in this project?

I agree, but since I play with friends now I gained another 20+ hours and still enjoying it. 5 more days if I'm not mistaken for a new update.

A bit harsh but there's a valid point or two in there. I would have liked more voice lines as well but I'd say let them finish before making the judgement call. They wanted our feedback, that's more than you get from most developers. It was yet another delay or early access to get our feedback. Another delay would have had everyone losing their minds. In a way it's our fault for rushing them. Game development takes time and things don't always work out as planned.

What counts for me is what they do with it now but it's a good start imo.

Not entirely relevant to your post but you made me think about thing a survivalist said.

"Survival isn't fun, it's actually pretty boring it's a lot of sitting in silence and waiting, waiting for help to come"

So i guess it got that part correct, but in seriousness i do think there could be more animals, and maybe more ways to interact with your surroundings like i personally want cages and ways to capture cannibals to make a prison for them and torture them, maybe ways to convert them to your side etc, just more interactions with your world could be great.

That being said as it is now, it is neither worse or better then the original imo it's just different. The only superior thing is graphical fidelity.

Early access...smh. This is yet another fad genre like BR. The Steam tard has spoken...sarc. I don't play any of these types of games.

You hit another point I didn't even think of, but is so true. Why isn't there more ways to interact with the world? Running around and picking up rope and cloth until it's spilling out of your pockets is the most interaction you get. Your ideas are great with the animals/mutants capturing/torture.

You've already thought up better ideas than the devs have. Even though, with how easy and nonthreatening the cannibals are compared to the first game, torturing them would really be unwarranted, and might make YOU look like the bad guy for picking on lesser beings lol.

You've won the award for the most useless comment of all time. As far as your "Tard" comment goes, I suggest you not be so hard on yourself.

LMAO, can't take the truth I see. All these games on here are D list, nobody plays anything but war games, BR, and survival.

I'm playing with a friend, and the only thing it's good for is to have conversations about things outside of the game, to break up the monotony of the actual game itself.

Unfortunately, every single word you said, is true....

Here's the thing: It's not released yet?
It's in early access and official release is 8 months off. Early access helps with fixing bugs, testing content and features etc.
If you do not like early access games... stay away from em. Easy as that.
I'm not saying all of that to defend this game in particular, but basically most of the early access games. Let's not talk about the super scummy ones or the ones that are in early access for like 10 years (looking at you 7Days).

Try to get kill by a shark and see how the respawn goes, its absolutely ridiculous, apparently the shark tied you up into the water same as when you die from cannibals, you cant even place 2 blueprints within each other or be a tiny bit creative with this stranded deep limitation building system, even stranded deep which is a really crappy game i know but i did some nice base on there because you can at least force structures where they shouldn't go, also the chairs,,,, same as stranded deep only now we can sit on them, here most of the creative builds, folks are already using dev mode,I don't want to use cheats in a game its so dumb.before i quit a session , I always practice with guns, they are way too OP, revolver, i can kill dudes from as far as i can see them one hit. you can't place a tent or a useless pile of firewood onto a floor.( you know some of us actually enjoy decorating) the building system is such a regression compare to the first one, there was almost no limitation as far as you could be creative, think outside the box and have experience and knowledge of some of the more obscure building tricks, now it all feels very superficial and if you want to change a section of lets say first floor or certain parts if you have a second floor on top and simply a few stuff around, it becomes the most annoying thing ever to remove all the wood, then try to have fun figuring out which ones are the logs, helf log, plank,, and so on,I dont even want to imagine how tedious this would be on controller with this chooping system being soo damn sensitive, its absolutely the worst thing ever, and ohh we can do fence now, great but hey i managed to do this,

ohh and the guns feel like 7DTD
coming from the forest with 4k plus hrs, I can easily tell I'll never play this one more than 1k, maybe even less than 500, almost like a real console game

They changed their minds last minute about going from a full release, to early access. So this game, the way it is, was meant to come out as a full game. You might want to look up the history of this games development before making some a vapid comment.
