Yall complained "Why is dev team only working on sandbox?! We want quests!". Well, devs made your wish real and now you complain "Meeeeh, big map, empty, bad textures,meeh!!!" I dont undestandthat
Commentors aren't a monolith. I for one only really wanted the sandbox. I've spent a lot of time in it and I love being able to set up little scenes since a lot of what I find attractive is based on setting. And it scratches a few great niches for me.
I never really thought the actual game felt good to play or had much promise. Walking and running feels stiff and unresponsive, combat is simple and feels bad, the suggestion of RPG and survival mechanics makes me groan more than anything. I don't want another game where I have to collect 50 boar pelts. And I play MMOs.
I think the team has really impressive modelers and animators but whoever's trying to make the action/RPG side of this thing is way out of their depth. The scope is too grand. The fact that the world is massive but has nothing in it leaves the impression that it was not carefully crafted with specific goals in mind. Quests and collectibles will be scattered haphazardly. Most of it will go to waste.
