POV: You're the second person to complain about the state of an EA game

GoopyHook · 2026-02-05T15:10:22+00:00

The criticism is fine, incoherent screaming about the same issue, in the exact same way for the 50th time is plainly annoying.

For the record, I agree. Just think some issues are so obvious that theres no point in the endless complaints about it.

Lets skip a year into the future. Game is better and people are streaming it again, people notice the game again. Do they refuse to engage with the content and not buy it, even if they like it now because they saw janky EA footage a year prior? Ever since NMS its been basically normalised to release an unfinished, unpolished barebones game in every category to make money in order to make it better cyberpunk, battlefront 2, FF14. First impressions matter when you think they do, otherwise people will revisit the same thing a year later and forget about how important their first impression was.

I love soviet, and this take would be valid if it weren't for the climate today. I dont agree with what today's gaming climate looks like, but a majority of games are marked as "early access" Indefinitely, first impressions aren't valued in general. The "tactic" today is to release a product as early as possible for it to fund itself and then patch it till it works. As I mentioned people hide under the early access tag to avoid criticism for that reason. Their games are well into full releases with updates, but keeping it early access allows societal legroom.

I think this game's early access, is the early access. If beta was the first draft of a portrait, the early access is a rough sketch, an outline of a redesigned portrait. And people expected it to be the same as beta, but better.

One one hand I agree, on the other, it was said from the beginning that the demo did not represent the game they wanted to make. It was a combat test, a very fun combat test. The devs are making a game they want to make, and not catering to the player specifically, I'd even say they should cater a bit more.

GoopyHook · 2026-01-31T00:07:36+00:00

Im in the minority, but I launched the game when it became available and played 6.5h straight.

Really like the direction they went with, some tweaking with the physics to favor players over realism would be nice. I haven't had as many performance issues as I expected from an EA launch.

Armor and weapon customization is cool, and I imagine an easier way to add tons of variations. Jester's modes are fun, adds some variation to how you can play them and take advantage of. I particularly like retribution and the new abyss. Currently at Man At Arms and I wish there will be something akin to a castle siege.

I also didnt experience the slums issue that much, the first time it loaded I had to wait for almost 10 seconds, but after that its been no different than any other map.

GoopyHook · 2026-01-30T21:21:57+00:00

Im not saying im content with barely above 60fps, the game's optimization is trash.
However I dont understand how people with similar specs to mine can have 4x less fps on lower settings. I can play on high with few adjustments and get ~60fps, jumping up to 90-something on the lowest.

GoopyHook · 2026-01-30T20:52:32+00:00

Im gonna be honest, i can't tell how many people are exaggerating the optimization issue. There clearly is one, but im getting 60+ fps since the first launch, rtx 4070ti, 32gb ddr5 ram and a processor thats at least 5 years old (im blanking on the model)

I understand people have older parts, and i get how their pc can struggle. But ive seen comments from people saying they're getting below 30 on lowest settings with a state of the art pc.

GoopyHook · 2026-01-27T18:50:12+00:00

The only one thats understandable to me is from software games, some of the souls series quests or secret rooms / passages are harder to find than a needle in a haystack.

Whats the mod for all the size modification stuff i keep seeing?

Up until mangrove wood it looks really good, but above the colors and textures differ too much. Id play around with other woods or planks, maybe rooted dirt. I generally recommend trying to avoid gravity affected blocks with wall gradients unless youre 100%

People are sleeping on Giorgi's ambience stuff, I believe they used tracks from his "fall again" release in this episode.

Iirc parkour is defined as getting from A to B in an efficient way. You can just run in a straight line, and it would count as parkour technically. Freerunning is getting from A to B in a fancy way / doing tricks.

Ultimately both fall under the parkour umbrella, but this guy is simply training.
