The D Legacy

what does google and facebook have to do with all of this? what does the fact that they are millionares have to do with this? you seem to be confused about my message, i am asking for quality videogames infused with creativity, i am not an anti-capitalist, actually if you invest money into an already good product it can become even better, but in here they are doing the opposite, they are spreading their investments into different fronts while keeping the overall quality very low by resorting to copy paste techniques, wich even tho is very mediocre its not a problem on itself, the real problem is the wrong expectation they created with missleading information while advertising the game, so you can boil all this down to lack of honesty. this is not a competition and i am not the flawless prime example of anything, but i am not a fool either, neither i like people being treated as fools, so i am glad to hear you are pro actively being critic, but either you are a critic or you are not, being critic with politics while being a sheep in videogames is a bit contradictory.

if that was the case NPCs as crew would not have been implemented.

have you tried turning it on and off?? they probably broke something wait few days (or months) until they get it fixed.

Agreed, its not the system's fault to be a piece of shit, it's the developer's fault.

by the time you come back it will be already sunk

did it delete your character? wow, lucky me i was very aware that thing was dangerous and every time that window popped up i made sure to not click it, i am sorry for your loss.

first thing first, why did you separate yourself from the flock!? ARK? this is a wonderfull example of how little reading people do, when did i say that i play ARK? if you dont want to bother reading the post you may as well not bother replying to it.

so i answer your question and the best you can pull off is an insult followed by a tantrum and then another insult (not even a different insult)? is that the lenght of your argumentation? well well this conversation sure was short lived. Rockstar is already on my black list for programer misstreatment and exploitation EA? the same EA that was called dishonest by the UK parlament commettee? the same EA that buys studios and then shuts them down? the same EA that technically speaking invented lootboxes?, no ty. 2k? The same 2k that release NBA 2K20 trailer that included a literal casino roulette and slot machine in their advertising trailer? rofl Bethesda....the same bethesda that was forced to refound players in australia after the nilon bag scam?? same developer wich bigger fallout 76 title is well known for how bad it is? Ubisoft... i played tera for a while, they took asset recycling to a whole new level(hence why i left), game is literally dead ( no surprise there) as dead as their new title Ascent infinite real will be when people discover its more TERA assets mixed with the p2w mechanics of black desert online (mark my words on this one), ofc i will never touch anything they release, not even with a 2 meters long stick. Activision/Blizzard... what can i say, activision never released anything that was of interest to me, and blizzard had a somehow decent reputation because of wow, then they went full retard and released a movile version of diablo and banned a heartstone player who was rightfully giving his support to hongkong also last time checked Ogame it was so full of p2w elements that it literally was not worth playing. right now the best games are being developed by small/mid size developers, 7days2die, oxigen not included, satisfactory, factorio, etc. (no, not you ATLAS) so yeah they are to be avoided, first thing we can agree on.

Klei, developers of oxygen not included, they have 4-5 different games and none of the is remotely similar to eachother (i could give you a list of other developers too but i already made my point) and considering oxygen not included belongs to a very dense genre (colony building) they made the game unique by infusing it with an astonishing ammount of creativity. if a new game uses the same assets of and old game its called a DLC or a expansion (and lets not to confuse game assets with graphical engine assets), not a new game. but ofc i dont expect someone who is unable to write a single sentence without insults to be as smart as to realise that since i assume you would also be ok with your nearest restaurant giving you the leftovers of other clients as you food. you guys complain about my statements and try to bash me (as if you could) but is about time you all realise the pit of bullcrap (the videogames industry in general) you are all helping to build, just remember the lower you set your own standars the lower the quality of the product you will be given. and thats not even the developers fault its actually your own.

dont bother with all the intolerance you will find here i partially agree with you, winds and currents in this game are not implemented properly if you add to that the fact that the game has only 4 types of ships and Sotds loot is laughable you get a super boring sailing experience, yet if i was you i wouldnt expect a change any time soon.

because as you can see the video i was watching was not related to atlas? i watch neebs gaming videos because they have tons of videos from 7days2die wich i actively play and those guys are fun and dont get me wrong i dont wish the game to stay bad forever, but i am not willing to let any developer believe they can fool us and pretend nothing happened, atlas and no man's sky are both good examples of what can happen, even after no man's sky developers achieved a comeback the damage is already done.

do you realise the implications of your statment?? you are openly admitting that you guys had the intent of copy paste ARK assets into ATLAS and sell it as if it was a new game from the beggining, how cheap can you guys be!!?????

lets be formal shall we?? a "iteration" of the same 10-15 islands is not a map, it can be used as such but its not proper to call it so, yes atlas has 226 iterations of islands wich is means that they are 225 different iterations from all the possible combination of islands, in other words atlas has only like 15-20 types of islands (with the most horrific terrain collision i have ever seen), thats like using a MacDonals hamburger as a reference point to define what a hamburger must be like, you can do it but everyone would just laught at you. that been said "size" has little to nothing to do with "intent" when atlas was developed they intended it to be a ark expansion at first, hence why they share mechanics, features, gameplay style and even bugs, is that intrinsecally bad? no it isnt, if atlas had been announced as a ark ocean themed dlc it would have made perfect sense and we wouldnt be having this conversation, but they didnt do it that way because they knew only people who likes ark would have bought it, instead they decided to misslead people into thinking this was a brand new game, wich is unthinkable when not only 75% of the game is a copy paste but went as far as to not even change the hotkeys you use to perform the same action, want to drink water? ARK: lay down and dig. ATLAS: lay down and dig. please do not compare graphical engine assets to mediocity, you would be pretty surprised what the difference between 2 developers using the same graphical engine can be. then why do you get butthurted when brought up? if you are trying to fool someone you are only fooling yourself

have you noticed that in tha last 5 years the ammount of millionars has been multiplied by nealry 500% while the wealth per capita has plummeted/stay the same? ofc you havent, because its mediocre people like you uncapable recognising the huge drop in product quality the ones that have made possible for companies to lower the standars so much in benefit of their own profit, videogames companies have been at it for few years now but you sheeps keep turning a blind eye to it while confortably living in conformism accepting any shit you are thrown to your face, and now you are evolving, is not enough to be passive/submssive now you people even defend that conformism, your parents must be so proud of you.

that fact that you consider calling the shit out "cry" and a debate a win/loss situation suggest to me that your desire to "win" is not allowing you to fully grasp what i am trying to say.

well i shall remind you that you are the one actively looking for my posts to criticise them (thats what people do when they want "revenge" because they got their feelings hurt) and try to riduculise them while using no argument whatsoever ( i dont rly care tho), and all of that just because you dont agree with me, so what i just said is a very appropiate description of what you do. if you dont want me to believe that you are like that all the time i invite you to reflect about your attitude and be more tolerant about people with different opinion than your own.

Is funny when people try to discuss something by first of all insulting and discredit the other person opinion calling them ignorants while they didnt even understood the idea being expressed in the first place, you are getting me wrong, using the same engine in different games can give them a similar feeling (wich is what you are talking about), that is well know by any veteran gamer(you dont need to have a phd to know that), what i am talking about is: then you take those generic assets and add your own creativity and that is what makes each game unique. I dont aggre with the "thats how bussines are done" i would say that how low quality products are done, and its called being cheap. and its very easy to prove, play "satisfactory" is a early acces well rounded factory simulator that used already existing asssets and infused them with a lot of creativity making the game unique, play "7days 2 die" is a alpha state of development zombie survival with low graphical quality that uses their own assets + a lot of creativity wich make it very fun to play even when the physics and the looking of the game is awfull, play "oxygen not included" is a early acces that just recently was launched to its 1.0 version, its a colony management simulation with so much originality that i have never played something that reminds me of it, those games prove that there is still companies that make things right (luckly) so at the end of the day excuses are just excuses. And there are tooooooons of excuses that people use to defend this game, but they dont get several things: -their conformism will never help improve nor the game nor the gaming industry it will only help "improvisations" like atlas hit the market and be a failure -the fact that they like the game doesnt make it a good pproduct and the fact that someone is critic about it doesnt mean they have to stop liking it -cristicism is not only something desirable rather is something fundamental to improve whatever you want to improve. people attack and insult here because in today's bland society being delicate with other people's feelings is more imprortant than facts, but i refuse to be a sheep, i will be critic, i will be direct and i will be harsh, because how the hell are we gonna improve anything if we become the defenders of mediocrity.

i wish i could but people keep quoting me only to run out of arguments afterwards also i am not holding a gun in your head forcing you to read me (specially considering i wasnt even talking to you), but you guys like it and you know it

or to do a cash grab and the spend 10 months coding the same game with the same bugs for xbox, early access is not what its supposed to be in the hands of people with no ethics

AHAHAHAHHAH . NO. we have aready had 2 wipes and we even have a decay system that deletes your shit if you dont log in for 2 weeks, this game is like a condom, you use it once and you throw it away once you are done with it (unless you are discusting enough as to leave it on your bedroom floor for weeks before trashing it)

and that is the bugs, imagine when you have spent 700 hrs in a game and suddenly they introduce the decay system.

their decision making somethings makes me wonder if they live on the moon.

i wouldnt bet on that if i was you mate, right now they are busy trying to refloat this sunk boat, it they didnt do it while they had time to introduce 25+ pets i doubt they will have time now, just do as i did, find another game/s have fun with them, learn the lesson and move on, since i quit i have had so much fun in other games that i am almost thankfull atlas turned out the way it did.

you should re read the thread title. the problem is that we were sold a new game, wich atlas isnt and that is called missleading. you should stop the sarcasm and start fighting for good quality products instead of defending the company that sold you an asset recycled ARK DLC.

i couldnt agree with you more, but probably the problem is not the sailing travel alone but rather how it fits with the rest of the inexistent sea elements, sailing is very boring simply because is neither rewarding nor fun, i would eliminate the "against the wind" penalty while keeping the "with the wind" boost, i would change the loot of SotDs, the weight of ammo and its price, stablish trading routes and add value to rare resources making sea and land exploration worth it, that would totally change the impression you have on sailing, sadly i highly doubt this devs are that creative, you can just hope that the new guy they hired manages to pull a huuuge plot twist.
