It is absolutely absurd. There have been a lot of games that aren't polished come out in the last half a decade that got a LOT of flack, but this one cannot be played without a connection to the servers and no one can connect to the servers. I have 15 hours logged and probably 4 of that has actually been playing. The game is by every definition LITERALLY Unplayable.

But when you are able to play it is great. I don't think it's fair to judge it's gameplay from not beiyablento connect due to sever being full. It's a valid complaint about not being able to log in. That being said, I don't really blame the developers because there was no possible way they could have known their game would have been this big.

I paid for a product I can’t use. That absolutely is part of my fucking review. What the fuck??

[–] Tedrow@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's what I said. It is a valid complaint but not a review of the game itself. It's like wanting to go on a ride at Disney. Does the line suck? Yeah. But is the ride bad? Maybe it's not worth the wait when you paid to get in. But that's why the developers are straight up telling people to not buy the game until they can let more people play.

I expect a wait at Disney. I don’t expect a wait for a pve game. Sorry.

[–] Tedrow@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yup, totally understandable. I'm simply saying it isn't an indictment of the game itself.

It is an indictment of the game. I’m attempting to play the game I should be able to play and cannot. It ruins and degrades my experience and is very much a part of the game. As the game is launched.
