So why is everyone so mad at this game

[SUPREME BEING]

I see that people either really like this game or hate it. Is it bad crashing and stuff?

I agree. Best single player experience so far this year.

Game has been fun so far, I've been waiting for a while so there was some built in anticipation.

The optimization is pretty ass though, I was a bit disappointed on that part. Navigating some of the menus are not as intuitive as one might wish.

Overall I've been happy with the game, feel it's priced reasonably, and with the dev team already having dropped 3 hot fix patches since launch I have hope they will at least try and do the game and community right. Though only time will tell.

Huge minus to the game - no ability to split the run for several game sessions.

Yeahhhh the runs are around 20 mins, there is a few story runs that due to them not triggering storms until yountrigger a certain point you can spend infinite time in a zone looking for the last scrap of commonly found metal, but they can also be done in 20 mins.

As I have said before stardew valley days cannot be split only saving at the end of the day and it feels like the same amount of time.

That's sad. Think about it. An underfunded indie game made out of love is the best game this year. That means the devs are smart too. They brought you this experience to not be drowned by the big titles that often come out near the holidays.

I say underfunded, cause I do believe they've been working on this game for over 4 years.

With the big titles i've been burned so many times i wait 2-3 months before buying them. until the reeee kids reviews have died down and you are able to read actual reviews over the state of the game and purchasability.

With smaller developers like this its easier to give support when they offer something that is not copied out of other developers to "stay on the hype train".

Pacific drive delivers a new and well done experience wich i support fully and im glad to give them my money. I literally do not care if EA games would go bankrupt tomorrow. As most titles i've enjoyed the most are made out of indie developers.

I got burned plenty.

We have to stop everybody from pre-ordering a game before they try it, buy a game as is. Look at Cities Skylines 2 right now, there's a lot of drama. Then look at the bigger games like BF2042 and Ghost recon, and Halo back in 2022, there's more too. Not every dev stops stupporting their game after launch, but there is a trend of some of the big companies. Cities Skylines 2 isn't made by a mega company, so that trend maybe trickling down to the entire industry. Luckily, IGN is calling these games out and not giving them a 7/10, that's the quickest way to tell if a game isn't finished (but not guaranteed).

Whats your problem? You cant change how saving works. If people wanna play save whenever with the risk of losing stuff then let them be.

Its theyr game. They payd for it. Not you.

nobody is restricting ppl to play as they want, hun...
and ye, they paid for this game with this savegame mechanic

it is about taking responsibility for your own life.. take responsibility for your own actions and decisions... you do like something? then buy it, if you can.. you dont like something? then dont buy it.

Here is the store page for Riven which started as a fan project turned official when Cyan picked it up and has been in development for 15 years. Loved Myst since early 90s and had a blast with Obduction as well. Steam page is new so probably means a release here shortly.

Yea. They'll probably say something later this year. I Imagine the wishlist the game as a way to gauge demand and with that they can get more funding. If that was their goal, it would help if they had a better trailer. 15 years though. Yea they're not going to disappoint.

Closest game today I think is The Witness

[Gym_Leader_Myth]

Oh, the game runs fantastically. But there's a bunch of that weird sexual awareness stuff as customization options in a game set in 1998. None of that stuff existed in 1998. The Lives Matter group (the acronym sets off a filter, i think) was only chartered in 2014 and you get their sticker.
I wouldn't care as much if *all* the stickers were found items, but the sexual stickers are unlocked from the moment yoiu unlock the customization station, and everything else is locked.

Genuine question.. i arrived at the first destination, the scrapper blew up on the first car door I tried scrapping... how do I build a new scrapper with no mats?

you have to have mats to craft a scrapper, but when you go back to your base, you can get free junk from the dumpster, it usually gives scrappers, repair putty, and random mats. also you can get mats without the scrapper, by opening containers in buildings and stuff.

I love difficult games. The souls series, Elden Ring, Celeste; and I've played a lot of survival games that PD is similar to.

Pacific Drive is pretty mid.
