How is this game mostly positive?

[Neyreyan_Youtube]

Being unplayable, janky, not much content and having so many problems you would think this game would be mixed.
It took me about 25 minutes to refund it because i liked looking at the artwork and some things in the base.
So everyone is giving a positive review and plans to play it in 3 years or there is something going here?
It's probably in pre-alpha state

I mean, what were you expecting from the game if you hate it that much?

The premise is the world you have to slog through, and movement being sluggish just feeds into that general worry that you have during missions that also reinforce the need to stay alert and be VERY careful of what fights you take

The Gunplay is alright and the way its implemented reinforces the point the game is built upon, because unless you get access to the higher end of weaponry there's just a good chunk of enemies out of your reach and a lot of others that die hard

Sure, its about as finished as a freshly released alpha normally is and it has some technical issues, but it has its theme damn well on path and its visuals are great for the kind of world its wanting to portray

Its just not for you man, that's ok. It's a fun game though imo. It's very playable.

Not every game is made with trying to please everyone in mind.

Some people like things you don't like, and vice versa.

You call it "unplayable", I strongly disagree. I have played it, am playing it, and I'm enjoying the ♥♥♥♥ out of it. The level designs are jaw dropping, certain weapons are a blast and it has a great foundation to continue building.

It's ok for others to like things you don't.

i finally got a good kit together, went scrap yard, dumped 60 rpk rounds into a heavy brawler, 3 more spawned out of thin air and then i got rocket-launcher stun locked until i died. i dont get it either.

no sense in gathering actual opinions on the forums, most people are blinded by early access promises that early buyers get burned by time and time again. the premise is cool (albeit doesn't make too much sense, you can't be a scav rat forever if the game offers progression, you'll be "that guy" eventually...) and hopefully the devs see it through. however, i wouldn't hold out hope, because even if the devs pull it off it will take YEARS from what the game currently is now.

People understand that it's not only an EA title but a very early one, and they're rating it accordingly - exactly as they should. It has a solid foundation with tons of promise, and the devs are both active and responsive.

I am not entirely sure, either. I mean, I can have some fun with it solo, but trying to join randoms is more miss than hit, and it's no secret that the game is very, very rough around the edges still.
I am surprised that it made such a big jump from its initial Mixed reaction. As much as I like the art direction, I feel there's a higher-than-usual amount of goodwill among the playerbase. I've seen "better" games rated worse.

[drtrance2003]

Maybe just maybe most people have REALISTIC expectations for a game in early release and are not 12 years old? Plus for being "unplayable" I'm playing the ♥♥♥♥ out of this game. One thing this game has going for it, is it offers something different from most other games.

Legitimate actual skill issue. lmao

The game is unusual compared to others in the scenery, stealth, not being able to kill everything on day one,... A lot of people are probably tired of the endless run and gun loot type games that have dominated gaming for a long time now.
Many probably like being weak and having to play stealthy through unusual landscapes with enemies that can pop out from behind something at any time. You have to stategize and be aware as you work your way through maps with the possibility of anything being around every corner.
Younger gamers wanting instant gratification probably wouldn't like this game, but older gamers that like sneaking around and planning their moves probably would.

[KenpoJuJitsu3]

It takes a certain level of hubris to call a game currently being played successfully by over 6,000 people "unplayable" because your system is having issues. There's also the odd bit in your Steam review about asking people to review the game according if it that can't be fixed "in a few months." This is an early access title. Your expectations are significantly unrealistic with that consideration in mind.

[JAKEtheSnake]

later in time they will fix the character movements and stuff but for now before the release the told us it was early stages and the people voted to have it be released so it just not for you brother

[Mr. John Freekill]

Sounds like you weren't interested anyways

[JAKEtheSnake]

the game crashed twice for me and the rest has been fine already got five days worth of water too

♥♥♥♥ if i know man, and with jank baked in mouse acceleration/smoothing like virtually no other game (especially shooters) ever. EA is one thing, but there's also a loooooot of white-knighting going on from fanboys who just like the concept and feeling like part of something and will excuse/defend anything and harass people pointing out the numerous MAJOR flaws...
