As a man that feels naked without a beard. Most only games spend more time making a big deals these days, like, man being able to have a womans voice. Or having so many options for boobs and hands I am not sure how to take it. Sliders for boob giggle. I'm sick of only having 2 or 3 options for beards in most games or none. I need at least 50 beard options.
The main issue with the game for me is:
* Max 24(?) players per server. Next (M)MORPG, right?
* The simple and dull gathering mechanics. Like... We've seen this type of gathering for the past 20+ years. Where are the mini-games that makes the experience exciting?
* Same goes to the crafting
It's basically Animal Crossing 2.0. I hope I'm wrong as I want a really good social and relaxing game to spend late evenings on.
Good luck to them. But I don't see this game succeeding, even in the community it caters to. It just doesn't offer enough game compared to their superior Switch and PC competition.
It is the sort of title I'd play with my girls when they were younger.
We enjoyed Eternal Sonata and Tales of Vesperia.
That said, raids by zombie raccoons would improve this title.
I always give myself a nice tan, after all, it is a fantasy game.
If I wanted to see a weak, pasty-faced nerd I'd just look in the mirror.
I tried it too this weekend and uninstalled it pretty fast
It is catering to my wife....who played the shit out of it in alpha and is excited as hell for beta.
White people can't tan?
My only reservation is just wondering how this will be supported financially longterm, i mean yeah- Sims4 is now f2p, but it's also got a billion dollar company keeping it afloat plus thousands of dollars of DLC.
So my guess is they are banking (gambling) on the playersbase to buy as many cosmetics and housing items as they possibly can?
I like this game, but i'm worried about it.

If the complaint is that it’s exactly what they say it is - a relaxing game to enjoy and share with friends - then I’d say it could be a win. There is a difference between a game that isn’t done well and a game that we don’t enjoy. Though I’m hearing a bit of both in these comments.
That said, it has a cash shop…and if I can’t even relax in a game without having to pay for it, I’ll sink even further into this MMO depression I’ve been stuck in for nearly 2 decades.
Thanks for that. Watched about 10 minutes and concluded that would only be good for me to deal with a super bad bout of insomnia.
Im very excited about the chill game. I was a dancer in SWG =-) I really love everything I see so far in this game. I also get not everyone will like this play style. I am a explorer and crafter. So...

The cantina and "doctor" mechanic where players stood in long lines to get debuffs removed were significant factors in the low rating.
Authors did not well receive socialization mechanics which had players sitting around (like healing after a fight) instead of actively playing game.
At the time I did not yet appreciate the benefits of downtime so I stayed with whatever I was playing at the time, probably DAOC.
CGW really disliked almost all early MMORPGS, their extremely buggy, unstable nature back then being a big issue. (CoH was first MMORPG they really liked)
Their Editor Johnny Wilson had a running feud with Richard Garriot who famously had UO's devs create a new "slime" named after Johnny.
Can't recall if that happened before or after UO "won" back to back CotY awards.
