    Wanted this game to succeed so badly because it was a space game that actually had the necessary foundation for an active universe verses space games focused so much on flying/dogfighting. Hated what happened to it but it did seem inevitable at the time, glad to see that they're attempting to get back at it and I love the features they're bringing! Will be interesting to see how things play out.

    I love this title, I played it solo as I normally do with my MMO's with some collaboration, but I loved the overall atmo of the game, felt very much like eve in the early days. The random encounters and pvp aspects. I did rely on ships on the market to kickstart things but eventually got into designing my own small ships and bases. The ability to fully automate the mining lasers to make mining more efficient is a nice challenge and the YOLOL coding looks really nice, didn't get a chance to do too much with it yet.
    Look forward to seeing some updates, already started downloading it again.

  • @Bieblism
    @Bieblism Před měsícem +2

    Before you comment anything cheeky about its EA in the past, let it be known:
    1. This game still delivered a functioning Space Engineers game both with MMO functionality AND without the clang, which is insanely impressive and should not be understated.
    2. They could have very easily pulled a worlds adrift and pulled the plug. They did not, and the news of them returning (like they said they would be) only serves to prove their commitment.
    3. The Store is a reasonable decision considering the insane costs of keeping those servers up, and crowdfunding being not allowed in their country. Cosmetics, not gameplay features or blocks/materials. Come on now, they're fine to do that.

    If this is all true.. why is the playerbase still around 80-300 on an average day.... and already declining again?? A MMO especially a completly player driven one can not work like that.
    If there would be that much new stuff worth installing it the playerbase would be significantly higher and.. why showing all the old footage not the new stuff?
    Let's face it the Miners and ship designers will not return to a game in wich their hard work, hundrets of hours of hard work, can be destroyed by dum PvP within seconds.
    Only stupid ppl do PvE content, completley destroyable content, in an open world PvP environment more than two times and continue to waste their lifetime.
    That is the major reason why it will fail again... i wonder what they do in the brainstorming meetings... not beeing able to figure that out..
    Each robot/ship is a real human beeing on the other side of your screen... spending their hard earned spare time to get some joy out of a game.
    If you fuck up content creators and resource haulers that much with pointless PvP... they just leave... ppl are NOT stupid... and they have a life...
    1st Suggestion... make PvP only availabel in specified zones... and maybe juuuust maybe players will return on a larger scale.. or
    2nd suggestion make it more easy/cheap to get the ships that get blown up in seconds... but hey for the 2nd suggestion...
    there are already games out there that are covering this and that's not suitable for an >>MMO>if they don't want to
