The Isle

The Isle

Should I buy Star Citizen or this game?
Just curious because it looks like Star Citizen is making way more progress in 3 months than this game has in 4 years.

Unbiased advice only please!

I'd honestly just wait. The chances of playing longer than 1 week-1 month in a row without burnout is pretty high unless you are really into niche games and have friends to play this with.

As far as i'm concerned this game still has a very long way to go, and 5 years in EA only for everything to get deleted and failed promises. I thought we were supposed to get like 1-2 dinosaurs a month, that hasn't happened at all. And some servers have a monetary system which to me shouldn't be a thing in Early Access. How this game feels on a personal level is nearing the level of "The Stomping Lands." Where Alex Jig Fundora eventually just abandoned the game and deleted all his contact information. There is nothing to stop them anyways, valve didn't offer any refunds for an obvious scam game and the developer wrote on his facebook "thanks for the money bye bye." Didn't pay his employees and so yea. It's a gamble with EA due to Valves lack of standards and they won't offer you any refunds, and they aren't held legally responsible for this sort of stuff or even money laundry. Also if you are American you cannot do class action lawsuits, only reason the standard of valve has increased was because of europe and austrailia. Americans have virtually no power when it comes to demanding higher quality standard from big corporations. It's disgraceful especially for a corporation which has the biggest profit margin for smallest workforce in the world. They can't even hire people to make sure that EA games are being followed through and provide frequent evidence and show spending habits, maybe even make it public. Of course not the devs personal money, but the business money and how it's being used.

If you enjoy the game how it is, and can have fun with the sort of gameplay which is out right now, then sure buy the game. It's made very small and slow progress, especially if we compare the 5 years of work which has been yeeted out the door. A lot of what i say are personal experiences, opinions, and feelings. Maybe the game will get good, who knows but why does it even matter now, they already got millions so why even bother anymore especially when many developers purpose is just to make money. If i got tons of money to blow and no pressure from valve to do anything and am not responsible for anything than i'd just run off with the money or spend as little as possible on creating the game to walk out with the biggest wallet.

Honestly just save your money don't even buy star citizen or this game. Just invest it or something, many games are just total dog crap, and more than 80% of EA games are scams/intentional failures/cash grabs. You are better off wasting your money on a game that is already out and has good reviews. All this other stuff is just bad noise only there to take your money.

If i had to rate this game it would be rated Giant waste of time out of 10. Also the reviews are strange. "Very positive." I don't know it should be at a mixed especially with a low playerbase compared to it's sales. I don't know. Good luck if you do buy it.

Edit: Oh you just bought it pretty quick, why did you ask this question and buy it without a reply back yet. Whatever, good luck man.

Star Citizen has been in development since 2012... It's a very, very ambitious cutting edge game. It's playable now. Not sure how close they are to entering beta. This game is leaps, bounds, miles, and light-years beyond the isle... But it has been in development longer, raised $350m in crowdfunding and in game "starter packs" i.e. exclusive ships, and has a way bigger team... Like a legit full on development team, Hell they even have voice acting by Mark Hamil and John travolta ... I wouldn't put this game in a "should I get this or the Isle scenario"
The two don't compare at all
If you are looking for space adventure get it... If you are looking for dinosaurs research some games in that genre and compare against eachother.

If speed of progress is your only issue, OP, then ya, it's clear you should play SC. Kinda answered your own question. :)

It’s rather depressing how you hang around here only to ♥♥♥♥ on a game you don’t like. Do you have any proactive hobbies that could perhaps NOT involve you being here? It would ultimately be healthier for everyone if you focused on those instead. You don’t add any food for thought, there is no deeper meaning to your rants, it’s like you’re the faceless hypeman for someone else speaking. Not the good kind that adds to their words, but rather the guy who repeats what someone said while constantly yelling it and laughing.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong as I feel “hypeman” might not be the correct term used for this kind of person in a conversation. It’s kinda like what a Parrot does.

I suppose I should elaborate on my quoted statement. Jax isn’t alone in this flaw. Far too often do I see people who obviously hate the game hop on these forums and ♥♥♥♥♥ about something while never adding anything of substance to any conversation. That really isn’t a healthy lifestyle choice.

Do I want the update now? Yes, because I actually enjoy the game and am looking forward to more content. Do I have any criticisms? None that I feel are worth ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about because I’ve enough patience to wait and see what’s next. I understand what the dev team are doing isn’t an easy process. I sure as hell wouldn’t know where to start if I were responsible for the coding and neither would you nor Jax.

There comes a point where you just have to stop and move on. If you hate something stop trying to drag others down with you and just leave. Find something you enjoy and focus on that instead. If you actually enjoy the game, yet are pissed off it’s taking so long for the update, do something else. Your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ isn’t going to get the update out any faster, so do yourself a favor and occupy yourself with something else.

critisicing a game helps development more than endlessly praising a game like a hive mind, with criticism you know what thinks are lackluster and need to improve, unlike you who does nothing but bash people who have a brain thats grown out of the spinal column and praise the game even if its completely lackluster. if a game doesnt recieve criticism it doesnt know what to improve and in turn becomes worse.

When was the last post you offered valid criticism that wasn’t just you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about something? In order to offer criticism you need to offer some form of solution about how you could improve the game. This post you made is the same as any other post I’ve seen from you, complaints without solutions and childish name calling.

And before you try to link any quotes of yours you feel aren’t just you bashing the game “hindsight” isn’t a solution. Nobody cares what you’d have done differently, tell us what you’d do to alter the current system for the better. This isn’t a challenge as I honestly have no expectations based on this reply, so seeing anything from you that isn’t a tantrum would be a pleasant surprise. If you can’t then why do you ridicule yourself by acting childish and hanging around the forum of a game you clearly hate?
