You can change your username, just depends where you are.

No casual or exploring mode, all PvP. Must be sponsored by two previously existing players, and their in-game experience completely influences yours.

You forgot to give it the correct rating...

• The last major patch was forever ago and it banned almost every player at the time.
• The dev(s) are super quiet. No one seems to have talked to them and those who claim to have talked with them have real "my uncle works for Nintendo" vibes so no one knows if anyone has ever talked with them.
• We don't fully know how the physics engine works yet, and the dev(s) aren't answering.
• There's a thriving modder community but most servers hate modders and try to ban them. There isn't a modder only server yet, but we're getting closer as other servers keep forcing us out.

99.9% of people want to play co-op but 0.1% force everyone to play on competitive mode because of the resource advantage playing competitive against cooperative players captures.

OOF that AI slop imagery - like, it's so bad now, you can see it from a mile away. how did ai image synthesis get worse over time? they let it eat it's own garbage, that's how - gigo is reinforcing all the bad ideas RAPIDLY.

look at those clouds - you know, the ones that look like a blackmetal band logo - everywhere. and the strange thing going on where the mountains of pakistan meet india - wtf is that supposed to be, continental quilting?

• Levels 7-15 are filled with griefers
• There are no viable builds for levels 12-17, everything is awkward and unbalanced
• You're assigned a team when you spawn, but you don't even know the teams exist until level 12 or so, and once you learn what team you're on, you can't change teams
• You're forced to play on hardcore mode and you're only allowed one playthrough [disputed]
• There's no pause, and if you logout it's game over
• Game balance is shitty: P2W players exploit the rest, some players spawn with permabuffs in place, others spawn with permanerfs
• Nobody can see any other player's HP or buffs, so a player playing on ezmode can pretend they're just good at the game
• No official documentation, although certain clans claim they have the official documentation, these clans are frequently at war over whose documentation is correct
• Released 10 billion years ago, no updates since, no way to contact the devs
• Multiplayer only
• Player housing exists, but is absurdly expensive and requires constant grinding to maintain
• Cooking minigame can be fun, but you have to play it all the time, and it's expensive to skip it. It's also attached to a clean-up minigame which sucks.
• Most food in the game has long-term debuffs that are hard to clear
• You have to juggle all these meters: health, thirst, hunger, temperature, horniness, sleep, boredom, anxiety, etc. but the devs didn't simply put them on a HUD, instead there are these frequently buggy out-of-band hints.

RNG put me in a shithole server spawn point.

This is just a cons list.

Pros:

• you can eat cookies

Meme:

“conditions on earth are bad”

Same fuckin meme:

AI-ass picture of earth, as if we didn’t also have real photos available

I want to file a complaint to the GM about the infinite money glitch...

You forgot that your starting area determines literally everything about your quality of life and average lifespan.

As well as the rare "born rich" perk that turns the difficulty of the game completely off and puts you into MC story mode where everyone else becomes an NPC.

Ugh, the hidden fees too. Sign-up is free and you typically get your subscription sponsored by an older account until you finish the tutorial. After that it's just microtransaction after microtransaction, and if you stop paying then your account gets deleted

Also: Hardmode only

PvP is banned and the mods lock your account if you do it

You can choose your own username but you have to play for 18 years and face disdain from some players

You can change your username later, but yeah, your initial one is chosen by the players who invited you.

On the other link aggregation website, there is a place called /r/outside that is all about this; do we have that here too already? 😄

Edit: apparently yes, !outside@lemmy.world

I keep getting this error message

CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED: MUTATION_DF508_DETECTED

Pay to win

Well, more like pay to live. Pay to play?

Used Claude to vibe code an Earth replacement

Early access available on the Epic Games Store

Mods are worse than reddit mods. You can be shadow banned for no reason at all.

Some of this is false or misleading. For example:

You can change your username after the tutorial.

Some players are hoarding all the resources, and formed gangs to keep their power. Sucks. You can't just shoot them because the other players whine, and you'll probably get banned.

Graphics are nice, though. Very detailed.

Too many microtransactions on top of a very high subscription.

Ostensibly you get to pick your own class and guild. But they can revoke your membership at any time for any reason. And if you go too long without one, you lose access to your spawn point, they cut off your access to consumables, and eventually early ban you. So you're mostly soft-locked into doing whatever you can to appease your guild masters while secretly trying to apply with new ones if you wish for a change.

Spawn kills and friendly-fire enabled

IGN Rating: 8/10

There is a minigame in it that is literally the entire GTA 6, so that's kinda cool.
