Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

The biggest difference for me between Conan and Valheim was how I've played it.

For whatever reason, I played Conan with a couple of friends on random PvP servers...with all of the bullshit that entails.

But with Valheim, I've only played it was a PvE game, with friends on a casual basis.

This reminds me, you need a drunk tree chopper for more wood. I bet you might be running low right about now.

So not only are they not making any updates, the one they've got adds...onions and some furniture?

Who gives a shit about that kind of nonsense? At best, it takes you an extra 2 minutes to build all the furniture they add, on something they spent months making.

Talk about misguided wastes of time.

D0nt forget the dark roof tiles, hehe.

But yeah I agree. what a waste of a game. They made something special, thats for sure. They sold like 5-6 million units? All for waste because none of those 5-6 million will be around or even remember this game in 2028 when this shit will be done at this breakneck pace.

Honestly? I can't really blame them. It sounds like they made a small, little passion project that just so happened to give them millions. I'd 100% tap out and ride off into the sunset. Plus, they'll probably be able to milk another year or so of sales with updates like "onions!", off nothing more than pure hopium.

To be fair, that update was the next one scheduled anyways. So it's not like they're trying anything shady.

I already put this aside as a "try again occasionally but don't expect a miracle" type of game.

Rust is awesome. I played the hell out of that game, but yeah, while offline raiding other’s bases is the best, getting your own base raided is the worst, lol.

The expectations put on these devs just because their shit blew up and they made a bunch of money is kind of funny. Just because they have bucks now doesn't mean they have the skills to quickly add whatever the fuck it is people want. These guys are indie for a reason. They're not rockstars. Having a bunch of money all of the sudden also doesn't imbue them with business acumen, they probably shouldn't just hire on a bunch of people, get a new office space, etc.

Wha? They sold 8 million copies, which including steam 30% is something like $165 million cash money. No one is saying they should become the next EA or Blizzard. But hiring on 100% more devs making it 10 people instead of 5 is not some wild expectations, lol. And if they have to, they can hire a fucking manager which does have some business acumen.

I could give a shit either way. I already played it, built shit, beat the game up until the point they had it. Probably never going back at this rate. Im talking more for their sake. Taking more than 1/2 the year to add in some onions and dark roof pieces plus a few more recipes does not bode well for them or the game. To add one more point, people pre-purchased this unfinished game with a promise from them sometime in the near future to have a finished game.

They dont need to hire tons more people, how bout start with a few.

And even if they do fuck off into the sunset with the cash I could even get behind that, and respect it more, lol.

wrong thread

This is a perfect example of don’t judge a book by it’s cover. The game initially turned me off due to its sprite based graphics. The game play, the depth and difficulty is top notch plus the mods out there is like a new game from what I been told. This game is up there in my top 5 favorite games of all time.

Also I didn’t realize how old the game actually is, like 10 years? I’m really shocked they didn’t make a sequel since how successful and popular the game is.

Terraria is perfect. My little brother bought it for me so I would play with him and I was like "meh whatever" so we play together and it was so much fun. He has been playing since 1.0 and we started together at 1.3. Came back for both 1.3.5 and 1.4. We have beaten it in Normal, Expert and Master Modes. As soon as tmodloader catches up to current day Terraria we will be on a heavy modded server (I plan on putting in Calamity, Thorium, and Spirit plus other QoL mods). This is the only Steam game where I have every achievement.

Originally there was a Terraria sequel in the works called Terria Otherworld which was canceled as the developer didn't feel it was different enough from the original. A lot of the assets that went into 1.4 came from the canceled Otherworld project. Terraria 2 is in development but there are no details as of yet.

I could be very wrong, but I think the steam workshop integration resolved the tmodloader conflicts? I played it for a couple weeks shortly before the steam workshop patch and that was my takeaway but that was months ago and I barely paid attention.
