I just finished a 430 hour run in this game. It's not the masterpiece we were all hoping for, but it's not the failure I keep reading about, either. It's fine. Some folks just seem to enjoy being salty.

I'm done for now, but I'll be back after the CK and DLC drop. I had fun.

@c0c0c0 @ylai
I am not done with playing the game yet, but that is pretty much my feeling about it as well. It will be interesting to see what changes they might bring to the game when they get around to expansions/dlc.

Same. I’m the dude who made the No More Will to Play post. There are certainly problems, weak points and straight up bad designs, but you and I wouldn’t have hundreds of hours played if it weren’t at least a little good.

I'll be honest - I feel however a game is, you will find someone who is happy to play it for literally hundreds of hours. I'm happy you enjoyed it (as I'm sure at least a few others did), but honestly think that on average people haven't. I may well be wrong! I'm mostly basing this off the reactions my friend groups have had to it, after a few weeks.

And based on my friend groups' reactions, I see the exact opposite. Frustrated with bugs and saying we'll just wait for patches from time to time, but the next day we're back into it and posting screenshots at each other and having fun

My little discord group did the same, but we all collectively admitted we were just finishing the game out of spite, and all the screenshots were of stupid shit and bugs.

and as soon as we beat it, everyone uninstalled it and its not been mentioned or played since.

Yeah.

You will find people that absolutely adore playing the most awful games imaginable.

That doesnt make the game good.

That just means that individual has weird tastes, and more power to them for enjoying it.
