Bunch of haters tbh.

[Abstract]

I got about an hour in yesterday and I'm nowhere near done. I did maybe 2 enclosures and there's like 10 listed.

Is there some sort of impatience that I don't understand in my late 30s? I enjoyed the experience. To me that's worth a fee.

I liked the formula of choosing certain things to do certain things. I would like it more if the game was a bit more expansive with more days and more ways to play, but apparently I'm told there's multiple endings so there's likely a great deal of replayability that I haven't seen yet.

Honestly? This one isn't bad. Try it yourself if you're on the fence and you like games like Phasmophobia and the kin. The gameplay is similar in the item carrying and busy work kind of essence, and feels pretty good despite the contrarian opinions.

There may be one too many busy-work systems, but honestly I have no complaints about busy work.

Look the trailers.
Dare to say there isn't a problem.

And don't compare Phasmophobia with...this.

Hmm... I suppose you've never heard the expression, never judge a book by it's cover. That includes trailers and opinions of others. I make my own opinions.

Except we're not judging the book by it's cover, we expected the book to be written as it was advertised

Try again. Diogenes is old news and you're not very good at cynicism. Maybe try some strawman, provoke my ego, or attack my integrity.

What for, you're totally missing the point anyway

the trailers are meant for you to get a idea of the game usually trailers are made from ingame scenes this is like the day before type trailers plus mutations are scripted and endings aint different from each other if anything lacking or slight 4 secs change

Trailers I saw seem to match what I've seen in the game. I'm not really sure what people were expecting to see at this point.

Well...maybe...at random: stressful atmosphere, live mutations, animals fleeing, risk of ambush, real stress, real danger for us...among other things.

One trailer shows a mutant giraffe fleeing the enclosure and possibly elsewhere, another a mutant kangaroo waiting to ambush us...there's NOTHING close to it in the game.
Don't tell me that the trailers promised a ride on rails, with boss battles in the paddock and no real stress or danger.

I know i didn't expect to be pushing around a cart, memorizing positions of multiple levers, and running through multiple systems of feeding and combination systems.

Makes me wonder the "why" for those design decisions. This seemed heavily like a busy work detraction from the overall gameplay implied by the trailers, but at the same time the trailers DID show the busy work. As a gamer, I'm more attuned to EXPECT the action and direct interaction scenes to fully encompass the experience, rather than having the "baseball" effect, where you wait for periods of setup until the actual action happens.

In this case, this game is more akin to something like golf or baseball, than the action packed nature of many of the counterparts in the horror game genre environment. Setup, prep, planning, and then a few quick decisive actions.

I'm personally a bigger fan of suspense horror than action based horror. Being left to my own vises, my own thoughts, and my own fears is often worse than having something to deal with like dodging a guy with a knife.

could I add to this by saying trailers aren't blue prints to games, they are sneak peaks into the game's premise? some games sometimes change to that of trailers, this is what happened to Security Breach and what I've more recently heard- No Man's Sky (<--- never knew but add that to the list)

Many people nowadays judge the games they play on the base of expectations they had. Some things from the trailers are surely missing, but I think it is worth trying to appreciate the game for what it is - not what we expected it to be. Personally, I don't find the gameplay pretty fun regardless. Just as Abstract mentioned, some people like being chased around with a knife, others don't. But I don't think the game deserves the hate it gets.

It's far from perfect, but I don't think it's that bad either.
