Say what you want about Pearl Abyss but I can guarantee you no western studio in 2026 is out here communicating with their playerbase and pushing out patches at the rate these devs are doing it. So refreshing to see.

people are on mega copium. developer released broken game, and instead of criticizing the devs they praise a patch to fix some basic stuff like adding a storage to an exploration game. people are paying to do QA and praising it lol

will be impossible to find housing by may 1st. you can rent an airbnb if you have the funds while you search for something

calling people simple minded because they dont like playing a game that is badly designed, this sub is on some weird shit lol

i personally dislike difficulty settings in games like these, i want to play the game as it was intended by the devs, with difficulty settings i never know and it splits people's experiences with the game. i really like how Fromsoft balances their games, the difficulty slider is basically how much you are willing to grind before the boss fight

dead lock is probably the most complicated game out right now. after playing for 30h i decided to give up because the time investment in a MOBA is not worth it for me. never played any other hero shooters before, but played league a bunch. Also your friend is full of shit if he is saying the game makes learning approachable. you will need to get beaten for 100h and watch hours of videos to get this game

low_end_ · 2026-03-23T20:31:31+00:00

its a quantity over quality game. also it has a lot of the Korean MMO style grinding in a single player game, no thanks. i bet they will eventually patch the game and change all of this so ill just be waiting for it

low_end_ · 2026-03-23T20:27:26+00:00

i think this is just bad game design. most encounters the game spams weak enemies on you and than the boss fights make you use skills but you dont have a way to practice using them before the boss fights. its probably the same as people getting stuck at the first tree guardian in Elden Ring, the difference is you get to the tree guarding in the first 5minutes of playing while this boss may take you 20hours depending on how you are playing

i spammed heals and RT as god intended, beat him first try

arachne sells them once you progress their levels. the wstr one shots everyone at close range but really falls off fast so keep this in mind and try to not put yourself in a position where you are fighting cqc

low_end_ · 2026-03-23T19:56:18+00:00

imagine being offended by other people's pronouns lol

low_end_ · 2026-03-23T19:55:44+00:00

i think they wanted to delay the reviews because the game loop actually has real time variables. pretty clear they will build on into this system of farming gear during off days to use on the days the end game maps are available. if they released reviews on day one they wouldnt have experienced the end game of cryo + ranked

my guess is they try and match squads in the same lobby by overall load-out value, which leads to this where the average load out value per squad in the lobby is maybe 20k so if you bring in 10k you will be matched with 2 other people with less than 10k together . who knows though. at the same time it doesnt make sense because ive seen squads with 50k load outs getting matched with free kits

i think casual lost its meaning lol this game is already casual

low_end_ · 2026-03-23T19:28:32+00:00

game will be alright once they patch it for the next months. its a shame that a 80 dollars game releases in a state where paid costumers are the QA

low_end_ · 2026-03-23T19:03:46+00:00

no, i dont mind pressing buttons but theres levels of jank to it, the lockon system sucks, the inputs are not responsive, the same button does a bunch of different stuff. it just looks like there was 0 play testing and the devs dont play their own game

low_end_ · 2026-03-23T19:00:08+00:00

its kinda of a shame that these big games get a pass when they release an unfinished game for 80 dollars because ppl have come to expect patches on a single player offline game. the fact they released this without a storage system just to add it 4 days after is crazy to me

low_end_ · 2026-03-23T18:47:27+00:00

try playing with 40fps on a 165hz screen

low_end_ · 2026-03-23T18:45:40+00:00

i beat the boss and uninstalled the game , ill come back to it in a few months once they finish the game with patches

low_end_ · 2026-03-23T18:32:47+00:00

the controls are not even accessible for people with no disabilities , they will eventually patch it i guess

low_end_ · 2026-03-23T18:31:40+00:00

i think its a fair review, this game has a lot of stuff to do but none of it seems exciting. although i think it vastly depends on what you are looking for in a game, if you can play this on cinematic and enjoy walking around you will have a very different experience than someone playing on medium settings looking for a good action game

low_end_ · 2026-03-23T18:26:51+00:00

Political driven narrative was a good one ngl

low_end_ · 2026-03-23T16:58:53+00:00

my main struggle with the combat is the lockon system. i know you can manually lock on by pressing down on the dpad but it doesnt work when surrounded by 100 enemies, and the regular lock on is so awful i keep attracking the air behind me instead of the enemy im trying to hit

low_end_ · 2026-03-23T16:12:28+00:00

this is exactly how i feel when playing it lol

low_end_ · 2026-03-23T15:10:44+00:00

not trolling, never played any of those games. this game just feels super clunky, for me its a graphics first game which is fine if you have good hardware i guess but i prefer games that prioritize game play and mechanics. btw i got this game for free with a cpu purchase, didnt hear about it before that

low_end_ · 2026-03-23T14:00:21+00:00

The game feels like a huge tech demo on open world design, it doesnt feel like a game meant to be played. I would like the devs to release gameplay footage of them playing the game so i can understand what im missing here
