One of the best games of the year, and also devs that listens to the player base AND actually fights for us?

(MANAGED) DEMOCRACY PREVAILS!

Sony has removed the need to register/login with the PSN account to play the game. Having high hopes for this game now as the devs are actually fighting with the greedy corpos and listening to us.

For those who haven't joined us in our crusade to spread Managed Democracy, what are you waiting for?

I purchased this game back in Mar 2017 and played for 1 hour, then gave up because it was buggy, graphics were crap and I ran into cannibal lands in the first few days. They took my limbs, and my will to play after that.

It's been 3 years and I finally came back, and man did I regret not picking it up sooner. It's still buggy, graphics haven't changed a bit, but I found out that there were actually towns near me that I didn't notice because I kept it at 3x speed the whole time, and not everyone was out there trying to kill me.

If you're lost, read some guides. I didn't have guides back then and man was it annoying to have 5 different cannibal tribes running after me.

Game is extremely well designed when it first came out, and still rivals a lot of games nowadays. Unfortunately after finishing campaign there isn't much to do, as there is no one playing multiplayer till this day. Co-op is dead.

Game is great itself, but the amount of players on the Asian servers are too low to even field a single squad. It's just small scale skirmishes in the same area with strafing and bombing runs everywhere.

The concept of the game so far, isn't bad. Though it lacks any guided storyline, the amount of things keeps away the boredom. There are a few things that need fixing, and this is what I've seen (so far):

1) Massive FPS drops, optimization is greatly needed.

2) UI is very slow in responding, and the right-clicking use and left-clicking cancel/remove is literally the mirror image of all other sandbox games. Extremely annoying when starting out with the controls. Maybe add customizable controls?

3) Block placement doesn't always follow your crosshairs. Seems to follow your line of sight instead. If so, why bother placing a crosshair in the first place?

4) Lack of recipies for miniquests' needed items. Needed to make a simple box, and the procedures were anything but simple.

5) Access to the shovel should be given before the barn building, not afterwards. Terraforming for the barn was annoying.

6) The crafting system is a massive pain in the rear. Slow in creating items, a very laggy UI and the price of materials needed to create something make the crafting part of the game a real headache.

Other than those points above, I'm seriously loving this game. This has so much potential, and since it even allows mod support, I'd say the limits are pretty much non-existent.

EDIT: Other misc things that bugged me

7) Creative mode isn't true creative. You do get infinite items, but it does not give you the full list of items. You build with what you can get your hands on. Shipping catalogue does not work in creative so it becomes difficult to obtain that one item you want.

8) After installing mods, you need to load up the world, wait for a painful 10+ minutes for it to apply mods into your world, then you need to restart the whole game or you'll be bugged with massive FPS drops and unloaded chunks.

9) Breaking/removing your pet house/chicken coops reduces your animals' affection to 0. Why?!
