Enshrouded is the same. Made for multiplayer, but most play single player.

Zahille7@lemmy.world on 23 Feb 2024 13:45 collapse

And it’s kind of bullshit that there’s no real balancing for singleplayers.

Each enemy takes a pretty big chunk of your health bar, and you can only attack so fast. They can and will attack faster than you, and sometimes even just stunlock you over and over until you just die and have to respawn. I want to enjoy the game, but I feel like I’m actively fighting against the brain grain when I play it.

Reads like my personal Monster Hunter World Iceborne experience (eff you, Rajang)

wirelesswire@kbin.run on 23 Feb 2024 15:47 collapse

Rajang was legitimately scary in MHW.

spamfajitas@lemmy.world on 23 Feb 2024 17:42 next collapse

There were people spamming the devs with requests to make the game harder and saying it’s too easy.

I voted for every response that said any additional difficulty changes should be optional, like how palworld/valheim have configurable difficulty.

Zahille7@lemmy.world on 23 Feb 2024 21:14 collapse

The fact that there are no world settings yet is kinda wild to me. There should absolutely be tweakable world settings in open world survival games

Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg on 24 Feb 2024 17:16 next collapse

I play multiplayer so I can’t comment much on that … but remember this game is in early access. Like it just launched its early access last month. It’s not a complete game or even a 1.0 game.

Get the blink upgrade that lets you break stun, huge help for the stun locking.

MonkderZweite@feddit.ch on 24 Feb 2024 18:38 collapse

No mods?

Zahille7@lemmy.world on 24 Feb 2024 19:44 next collapse

There are only reshades on the nexus so far.

Trust me, I looked lol.

JigglySackles@lemmy.world on 24 Feb 2024 22:38 collapse

Enshrouded has no plans for mods from what I’ve heard so far. Which basically killed the game for me. Not going to bother with it because there are some mechanics that would irritate me too much to enjoy the game. Mods would’ve fixed it.

Remember boys, never buy a game based on promises of future features for you never know if they will come true.

DaseinPickle@leminal.space on 23 Feb 2024 14:19 collapse

It’s an early access game. If you buy it now you are buying promises and the chance to be a beta tester. And that’s okay, if you don’t get emotional if things don’t turn out as expected.

ampersandrew@kbin.social on 23 Feb 2024 14:21 next collapse

I'd say if you're buying it now, you should be doing so based on what it is as though it never gets another patch, because sometimes they don't.

magnusrufus@lemmy.world on 23 Feb 2024 19:50 next collapse

A lesson I learned from Double Fine.

phi1997@kbin.social on 24 Feb 2024 12:13 collapse

And sometimes, a game gets a patch that actually makes it worse

People like to pause their games… Who knew?

ampersandrew@kbin.social on 23 Feb 2024 14:23 collapse

Not just pausing; it's poor value for the customer to not have an offline mode for all sorts of reasons, not the least of which is longevity, because their servers won't be there forever.

BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee on 23 Feb 2024 19:02 collapse

never know when your internet just decides to go down for an hour. happened to me 2 nights ago and i didnt even notice until i tried looking at the dlc store (i was playing rock band 4)

AlphaOmega@lemmy.world on 24 Feb 2024 13:27 collapse

Or when EA will just break their service for a week, so you can’t log in or play any of their online games.

MajorHavoc@programming.dev on 23 Feb 2024 18:09 next collapse

“Game studio apologizes for misunderstanding a widely understood aspect of what their customers want.”

I keep seeing this headline. It’s…weird.

morphballganon@lemmy.world on 23 Feb 2024 21:20 next collapse

This is what happens when the people who make decisions are not the people impacted by those decisions.

sturmblast@lemmy.world on 24 Feb 2024 13:22 collapse

Game studios are largely tone deaf.

MonkderZweite@feddit.ch on 24 Feb 2024 18:37 collapse

TIL about gaslamp fantasy.

xenoclast@lemmy.world on 24 Feb 2024 18:58 next collapse

Oh I thought you were referring to the developers pretending they didn’t know this would annoy customers.

That’s pretty cool, thanks for sharing. I love learning about sub genres
