RottenK posted:Gregtech? there's a whole slew of mods for minecraft that add complicated as gently caress mechanical systems, with gregtech being a notorious one http://ftbwiki.org/GregTech there's some mods for minecraft that are legitimately fun despite the inherent minor amount of tedium involved, but some of these things are goddamn ludicrous. a good amount of them are examples of why poo poo like this is an unofficial mod and not how the base game actually functions

more than anything the devs need to figure out what exactly they want the game to be and focus on that aspect instead of having it be a jumbled mess of things that tug in opposite directions

it'll probably eventually be something someday but for now terraria will be updating next month and there's a wide world of other poo poo to play while chucklefish putters around and does whatever the gently caress they're doing while trying to figure out what makes videogames 'fun'

yeah, i always got the impression that it would be weird alien things attacking in an event of some sort. i'm not all too sure what all's going to be added but it's an excuse to play the game again, at least.

terraria definitely has issues but at least the dev knew what he wanted to do with it and just kinda built on that over time. so, i mean, you can play it and feel like you're actually doing something at the least

terraria at least has the advantage of being a 'complete' game, which helps things a lot. there's a couple things i have beef with when it's concerned, but it's easy to overlook those things when i can at least play the game and enjoy myself. i'll definitely load it up once the update hits in like 12 days or some poo poo.

remember when someone pointed out that it made no sense to do generic mining poo poo and all that in a game about space travel and everyone tried their best to tell him why he was wrong. also i brought up that it taking 30 minutes to cut a vine with the matter manipulator thing was stupid and people tried to defend it. then it was changed later. hmm

Discussion > Games > Starbound: A game about mining except it's really not because basically everything involving anything below the ground kinda sucks, so have fun with a pickaxe and a sense of progression so hosed that you're going to loop back on yourself and gouge your eyes out with that same pickaxe

i remember when they held that contest where people designed creatures to put in the game and a lot of the better suggestions looked really good. i'd vastly prefer having poo poo like that over the loving pointless enemies made out of interchangeable duplo blocks the game has now.

terraria was successful because it does a lot yet doesn't overdo poo poo and the overall aesthetics are at least okay. the gameplay/progression won't be everyone's thing but it's a thing for enough people to where it's loved to whatever extent. the combat is relatively simplistic and they used that as a springboard to come up with a wide variety of ultimately unique and fun to use poo poo so you can kinda 'customize' your character worth half a poo poo instead of trying to rely on an incredibly halfbaked random generator to give the illusion of variety. it's not perfect, but there's some very distinct reasons why it's been so successful. timing might have been part of it, who knows.

i think this would be less stupid overall if the actual base game was worth a poo poo yet 'yeah the players can't dig any fun out of the core gameplay but at least the farming system is now more loving tedious than anything minecraft has ever implemented'

i'm being serious here, farming in minecraft is less tedious than it is in starbound now. i've played minecraft with a million mods before and farming was never that stupid

Bel Monte posted:You mean to say that farming has somehow gone untouched by gregtech?! it probably was but it's very easy to just not use gregtech, something which many people put into practice. in starbound's case the base game just kicks the player in the ribs for wanting to do some basic poo poo for no reason whatsoever.

you'd think they could have gone with some sane poo poo like 'hey the growing speed was slightly lowered but if you keep up with watering your plants they will grow faster on average than they used to' but hey nah let's completely ignore a million of solutions that were implemented in other, actually complete and successful games in favor of something that is truly, literally, more tedious than basically anything that has ever been modded into minecraft.

Gimbal lock posted:I wish I'd never given money for this product. Not that I care about the money -- hindsight excluded, I've wasted far more money for dumber reasons. I just wish that I hadn't participated in the monstrous overfunding that this project suffered from. Had they actually needed to make a sellable product to get money, maybe we'd have seen results out of this rapidly evaporating mountain of potential. i paid for towns one night for some reason, so i have a hard time caring about paying money for starbound since at least starbound can be modded to add something vaguely resembling entertainment.

it's less in his spare time and more 'a full time job' now since he gets enough donations to live vaguely comfortably or some poo poo. i think notch should stop donating to random poo poo and donate money to toady.

it would work fine in a game with combat that doesn't boil down to some ambulatory turd hopping at you starbound doesn't qualify for that, unfortunately
