Lots of haters out there. I wish more people would try to be productive in their input and if you are commenting on someone else's review or opinion, try not to be patronizing, insulting, or diminishing.
I can agree with some of what this person said.
I do like games that I have to figure things out. I don't like games where I can waste three hours doing nothing that is productive to the game. The problem, for me, with a sandbox THIS open is that it is sort of like a gatekeeper builder more than anything. "If you know, you know. If not, no one is going to tell you so you had better put in the time and effort like the rest of us did"
People have varying amounts of time that they can put into recreational gaming. If you can put in 5 hours multiple times per week to try to learn how THIS game wants you to establish a forge, build armor, mainline resource production/acquisition, AND learn the mechanics to fighting, the importance of boats, the clever tricks to manipulate the systems... Good for you.
Don't hate on someone who wishes there was at least SOME sort of directive list or task priority. I think this should be labeled Viking Survival Simulator and let the bosses be sort of a perk to putting in effort and establishing a world.
At the end of the day, nothing is deep enough, clear enough, pretty enough, or polished enough to make me want to play more.
It isn't pretty enough to make me want to look at it. It isn't clear enough that I understand where to focus my attention. It isn't deep enough or polished enough for me to trust my intuition as to what I should do first/next.
Now please, all of you, hate on me for sharing my opinion too.
You are the ones who are reading this just to disagree with someone and attack them.
