I think the message is quite clear. They need to up their game pronto

It got review bombed by people upset over online only. Are there issues? Yup! Is it fun and beautiful? Definitely.

45% of them are complaining because they have to use the internet, while using the internet to complain on.

Lol internet issues, and people being lazy about shared storage.. One stupid game comes out with Shared Storage and people loose their absolute minds. Ya'll never played Minecraft, or Ark? Lol lazy. So, it's review bombed by that. Let that sink in. Two stupid reasons are hurting this otherwise excellent survival/crafting/mmo(in the same sense as destiny, before you nerds loose your mind). Oh, and being online only? So ya'll never played any other game that requires constant connection, cool.

The game got trashed on every platform it's on. Nobody "review bombed" it. The game sucks.

Tbh the online only makes sense if you understand how the realm system works with co-op. Removes the need for dedicated servers afaik

[Merder]

I like the game and hope it will be supported for years to come. I hate to see the level of negative reviews it has received but I do understand them. It was a short sighted development decision to not include an offline mode for single player.

I'd like to see a statement from the developers about why they chose to make it online only, even for single player. I have a feeling it's an anti-piracy measure but that's just a guess.

For clarity, I play online with friends and the issue doesn't affect me but I do understand why other people would be upset about it.

75% of the negative reviews are crying about having to play online, while posting their review online, using their internet connection.

Once we get past the diaper baby reviews, the game will start going positive.

Then I must be the 25%?

Thumb down because the character models and faces look ugyl beside a beautiful graphic in the landscape. Worst thing are the 3rd person animation in combat or by cutting down trees and so on. Thin arms and legs, which seem boneless. Awkward shake around without coordination. No really combat hit feadback.

An umbrella who takes 33% of the left screen in 1st person combat and blocks the view. If you or npc walk with a twohander in front of you, you look like a mix of gorilla and hunchback? Sorry, in current status of the animation and face model, it is not playable for a player with minimum demands on aesthetics.

Tencent won’t ever allow the game to be offline since they won’t be able to follow art 7 of CCPs 2014 espionage law to monitor player activity and wants to avoid another fine for failure to comply. It’s meant for Chinese citizens but understand that the monitoring programing is built into the game that you’ve installed on your computer. Tencent has been fined for copyright violation, money laundering, undisclosed assets and a number of other minor infractions by its own government. Go ahead, install their game. I’m sure it’s safe.

funny how you just keep being on here then.

Every youtuber basically said "its too much of a survival crafting survival crafter game, why cant i just run around, never craft anything and get legendary gear"

aka they want skyrim, this aint skyrim. deal with it.

Folks don't understand EA. They want what they want when they want it, which is now. That being said, it's a little rough. Most of the stuff like tree animations are work in progress. Things like character creator are on one hand overly complex and on the other the fugliest start point I have ever seen in a game in 20 years. So advanced and yet so pitiful. Most everything else is adequate if not perfect and worth sticking around for. ymmv.

Game's stable, worlds are beautiful, it's an interesting concept. I like it better today than yesterday but it may need some simplifying, particularly with crafting to be compatible with the new generation of gamers. We're in a couple days, bit early to pull the plug.

I firmly believe that if you don't own the game you should only be on one guest subforum for a game and if you haven't played 25+ hours you don't get to review. That would shake out a lot of the crap. It still wouldn't be perfect but it would be more reasonable.

I don't thing the game does itself any favors letting streamers in early. Their pants are generally on fire and it's all about clicks, not the game. They have no skin in the game and bad reviews like most bad stuff gets more eyes. They don't want to play the genre, just put in their 1.4 hours and done. As for upping their game, that's what EA is for, making the game better. You can be a part of the process or a part of the foolishness, your choice.

Yep, time to make lots of additions to the ignore list.

Giving people that that are trolling and do not even own the game any attention at all is giving them what they want and wasting your time.

Ignore them enough and they get bored and move on to the next forum community for another game to do it all over again.

[Foxglovez]

Can't we send them back to Starfield?

[Caduryn]

And if you set it to 2h+ gametime.... its at 70% positive

Year, just review bombed

Brilliant. Tell it like it is.
