canāt wait until the end of college to start playing hytale!
Apparently early access is dropping in a couple weeks earliest
Holy heck, I just checked their website, they might actually be back on track now.
Praise be to Simon Collins-Laflamme for slapping them across the head and getting the team to a point where they might actually release something.
Honestly Iāll probably end up buying early access too I just hope Hytale ends up being super successful
its too late, vintage story has effectively taken itās slice of the space + i really seriously doubt hytale will ever really see any focus with hypixel being the leviathan it is
Iāve literally barely heard of vintage story
because the niche hytale would have fit in is already that niche
Vintage Story and Hytale has nigh-opposite themes, broski. Oneās a gritty survival game, the other has a focus on adventure and community.
Games out but keep in mind there are bugs
Iāve been playing it religiously. I canāt say anything in terms of the coding base or mod maker, as I have no experience with those, but hereās my views on the exploration mode:
The Good
- The world generation is just excellent, hitting that tight mix of fantastical while also being grounded. Thereās enough structures for the place to feel lived in, without there being so many that the player doesnāt see the point in building their own house.
- Getting resources isnāt that difficult. Trees are fast to chop, and stone is decently easy to mine (especially if you know the mining shield-bash technique). Ores arenāt particularly difficult to find either once you know where to look.
- Thereās a lot to explore, including in the underground. Even if you donāt find a structure, you can almost always locate a new wood type, or stone, or at least a cool place to make a base or build.
- You have to adjust your sound settings to properly hear it, but the music is lovely.
- You have a lot of blocks to play around with. From woods to carved stones to glowing crystals, everything you could ever want is here.
The Bad
- The playerās inventory is grossly insufficient for the sheer amount of stuff in the game. Doubly true for stack sizes, which go up to 100. Seeing as the average oak tree has about 60-70 blocks of wood on itā¦ eugh. The backpack is a band-aid solution that youāll probably forget to use, and regardless, youāre going to find yourself making massive amount of storages just to hold all the stuff you collect.
- There are several glitches. I havenāt encountered anything that causes crashes, but there are glitches which can potentially get you killed. I advise you to completely avoid minecarts for now, and to be wary placing doors and the like underground or against cliff faces, as doing so can phase you into solid blocks.
- The animals might legitimately be too cute to butcher for leather. Which sucks, because you need the three different kinds of leather for everything, including tools, weapons, and armor. I mean, just LOOK at them.
It would be an actual crime to kill something this cute. I have to resort to killing underground rats, hostile wolves, and bears to get by. - The durability system is stupid and doesnāt belong in this type of game. I wouldnāt mind it if it only punished the player for dying, but the main wear on your equipment will come from common use, and your tools really arenāt cut out for how much youāll be using them, especially because, oh yeah, they cost leather for some reason.
- Besides the different weapons, there isnāt much build variety. Thereās a few alternantive armor sets, but they canāt be crafted, thereās no magic system yet, and ranged players only really have the bow and the crossbow.
The Ugly
- Iāve got nothing for this category, lol. Some people say the player characters are a bit uncanny, and while I see where theyāre coming from, they arenāt that bad.
best part is this isnāt world gen v2
Overall good review for the game it genuinely isnāt too bad for an early access release atm.
Btw @Gamehero14 whatās your avatar look like in game?
i love how this portion is apart of the bad lol
Itās be part of the good if you didnāt need leather for every tool, weapon, and armor recipeā¦
He looks a bit like BotW Link if Iām being honest.
Iāll show you when I have time.
Letās be honest weāve all done war crimes in Minecraft before so weāre used to this
I am fine with genocide of villagers. Ripping apart entire families for the sake of keeping my wallet fat. My heart does not quiver no quake at the thought of forcing rows upon rows of broken men and women to serve me for eternity, locked in cages like pathetic beasts only to be used like machines.
But that pig walking before me when I am on the verges of starvation? Innocently wandering the forest with nothing but a quaint familyāa partner and some piglets? Tisā too beautiful a thing to slaughter. I cannot bear to bring down my axe.
game looks lwk great! definitely on my list!
Iāve played a little bit more, lemme add to some prior points:
The Good
- Iāve seen some videos stress-testing Hytale, and from my understanding, this game doesnāt just run wellāitās nearly un-crashable. Spawning mobs, destroying massive amounts of terrain, forcing absurd amounts of particlesānone of these can crash the game. The player doesnāt even lag, only the items being mass-produced do. For example, if you spawn a thousand mobs, the player and the rest of the game will play as normal, the only thing that will lag will be the mobs themselves, and thatās frankly amazing.
The Bad
- The durability system might just be even worse than I thought, as even mid-late game items have just really pitiful amounts of durability. And repairing items reduces their max durability.
Itās a big laggy for me but hopefully itās fixed for my max
