good point
kinda like an open world metroidvania, where the metroid parts are just crafting
if that makes any sense
edit: i was thinking about buying/playing breath of the wild and i think this game is scratching that itch in a better way

Also the graphics are really something else. I thought it looked really bad from the trailers and screenshots, but once you see it in action it has this painterly effect that is really quite stunning and unique. The graphics are a choice, not a limitation. It also runs well, is bug free, and will be easy to add new assets too.
yeah, I think the graphics work incredibly well. helped by the pulled out camera and the focus filtering for the further away distance. love those crisp unfiltered textures up close. hopefully the animations will get a lot better, not a huge fan of those. hehe.
Is this also because it's procedural? Deep Rock Galactic is 100% procedural (outside of a few late-game activities) and is pretty small, too.
So is building a house even necessary? If not to protect from cold and stuff?
Or is it still needed to protect from mobs?
Reading more and looking more into it now turned me over from "Nah, don't care, look how it looks" to "Ah god dammit, the graphic is a choice and not a flaw and the procedural world is interesting and the price is perfect for a hurtless blind buy....."
And since it's Steam, if it doesn't run that good for me I can still give it back.....
no idea but when im outside at night it just tells me im cold but doesn't damage me
maybe it effects stamina?
If you want to build a bed, (save point basically) and a crafting workbench, it needs to be inside a shelter. So you have to build a house.
Besides, what heathen plays a game like this and doesn't make a dope house?
yes they can break but it is one click, no material repair at a workbench
Lolol ok, so it does have a practical function and the pleasure of building a virtual house!
Mhhhhh, it runs pretty crappy for me unfortunately.
I have a Laptop with an i5-8300H (8CPUs), 16GB Ram 2.30GHz and a GTX 1050 and everything on max in 1080p runs with 15fps. Everything on low barely hovers between 25 and 30.
But I read from people with basically the same specs on their laptop, even slightly worse CPU and they're having the game run in 60fps with 1080p max settings.
What is the secret here?

Unity engine is such a fickle bitch. Maybe check graphics drivers?
How is this as a single-player game?
I bounce off most survival games but I sure love Subnautica.

it does feel slow but ive never really gotten into these games before and am just kinda focused on the stuff in front of me and still enjoying it
The newest driver is installed.
I read about a great tip that says:
And it indeed improves the FPS a lot. But I have the problem now that the screen or FPS skip every few seconds so heavenly that it's unplayable. Anyone with an idea what could cause this?
We've played now for 16 hours and it's hard to stop.
The game is beautiful, too. Don't underestimate good lighting/wind/sound/water effects. And very dense foliage/grass.
We have a winner here.

The game is gorgeous. It's all very cohesive, even if it's intentionally reminiscent of "PS2" (or just older PC games :P)
Well, if not for anything else - at least I'm supporting indie devs, thanks - I'm gonna pull the trigger
The game is insanely good looking thanks to the lighting.
It turns into a turd if you turn the lighting off, but with it enabled it is an amazing, weirdly magical thing.
It's also PS1/Quake 2 graphics more than PS2.
The PS2 could also never render so many trees / grass / items / player constructed buildings etc.
The comparison doesn't make sense at all.
I don't think the comparison is about the whole package, but about the models and textures/sprites
Just heard about this today and it sounds really awesome.
Do we know if there's plans for it to come to consoles? I don't see it on the roadmap so I dont I dont know if it's something they're thinking about

i promised myself i wouldn't buy anymore of these games, i always drop off pretty hard and fast. but this one... *sigh* okay you got me
might wait around for a discount but it's doing so well on steam that's probably moot unless i want to save two bucks or something

This game has a giant adventure to discover? Fuck it, lets use the first 8 days to build a huge two-story building. :D

This game is absolutely stunning, and the water physics are fantastic.
Not to mention the sound quality, it's great. Thunderstorms feel really convincing too.

So as I was looking around for the Swamp area, instead I ran into the dreaded Deathquitos I've heard about. Apparently the Meadow I was in was right next to the Plains...
One of them got a hit on me and almost took off all my health, I ran like hell. Two of those Deathquitos were following me but I was able to actually bow them both down after dodging their attacks.
Not going close to Plains again.

There was this rainy night where the game said monsters are searching for me or so, right when I was done with the house, the one photo with the rain, but nothing reached me and they disappeared. 🙈
If I were to join friends who are already playing will I be left in the dust with the content they are on since there is progression in enemies/skills?

Absolutely insane, im so happy for the devs to get this much succes
Yes and no :)
The game is mostly about gear so your friends will probably craft you some up to date gear. Your skills will be a bit behind, but you should still be useful in fights and gathering.
The devs have a good foundation for a bigger game, I hope they put those funds to good use. This game could be that Skyrim with multiplayer people always wanted.
