Should I play Deepwoken?

depressant or antidepressant

Depressant, combats a bit slower than sekiro and playing it makes me wanna die

Exploring was alright, but itā€™s not fun trying to look at some new island and randomly getting jumped by 3 enemies from up on a ledge that deal a fifth of your health a hit

The fawning is unhealthy.
The issue with Deepwoken is that the game doesnā€™t want you to play it. Exploration? Discouraged by the fear of item loss (death) and character loss (wiping). Education? Not even present, youā€™re somehow expected to learn every in-depth game mechanic by yourself and for yourself.
ā€œJust use the wiki!ā€ they say, ā€œJust watch a video!ā€ they say, I say: if a game doesnā€™t want you to play it, then donā€™t bother with it.

Oh, right, and don't ask me to "man-up" and not fear death

Video games are about manipulating your players into doing what you want them to do through psychological reinforcement, thereā€™s no guide-book for them unlike tabletop games, yet you still need to figure out the rules.
What does Deepwoken do to accomplish this task? Nothing.

Literally every survival game in existence sucks now I guess

Can we admit that multiplayer anarchy survival games are all ass? Iā€™ve not once heard of normal people enjoying Rust if weā€™re looking examples.

ig it all falls under (again) gambling

Iā€™ve never had issues with any of these even when I was I started deepwoken cluelessly and perfectly learned how the game works even when using resources (fandom and youtube) like any other game Iā€™d play

If you donā€™t like it then great :+1:

Istg just because you personally do not enjoy a game mechanic does not mean it is somehow objectively bad

the more I think about these comments the more I realize that deepwoken is no where near meant for casuals :broken_heart:

you need to be born a masochist at this point if you wanna die 50 times to get somewhere

minecraft is ass guys :pensive:

was initially going to respond to each segment of your post but its not worth it

can you please cut the incessant bitching about deepwoken we know you hate it with all your heart

like its actually concerning how you go out of your way to rant about it

i wouldnt even have a problem with this except you go into threads where people are justā€¦ PLAYING DEEPWOKEN (stocksoundā€™s old thread) and whine your little heart out until your hands go numb from typing

if it wasnt obvious i dont care if you dont like deepwoken or not but PLEAAAASEEEE SHUT UP ABOUT IT ALREADY!!!

we get it by now you dont need to keep yelling about it :pray:

edit: no actually im not done im not sure what possesses you to do this shit but crying about people having fun in a game you dont like is genuinely the saddest shit ive seen all week. ā€œthe fawning is unhealthyā€ you mean we like it and you dont?

please cut ā€œhating deepwokenā€ out of your primary personality traits its actually really fucking annoying

im being harsh because im tired of seeing you everywhere deepwoken gets mentioned just to complain about it

Womp womp. Not only is this straying off-topic by quite a bit (messages exist for that purpose), but I was only trying to correct the points that the ā€œcorrectionsā€ to stocksoundā€™s flawed points failed to correct (thatā€™s a lot of the same word!).
Besides, thatā€™s no argument, thatā€™s an ad hominem. This isnā€™t a thread of people playing Deepwoken, itā€™s one asking about whether or not itā€™s worth oneā€™s time. So what did I do here? I advised them that it isnā€™t. Twice.

did you play deepwoken

Thoroughly. Iā€™ve started playing it since its release and did so for a while only to stop for months, try again, and repeat this process.
This is only a guess, but I think that the time Iā€™ve spent on Deepwoken is at least of a hundred hours.

its changed a lot since then ngl :broken_heart:

starting the game still a pain but Iā€™d probably say the gameā€™s gotten a lot easier, way too easy now once youā€™ve got used to the game

with those new guild-base mechanics 'n new crutches

Buddy since the stocksounds thread youā€™ve played verse 2 like 3 times

deepwoken verse 2ā€™ers will never know what deepwoken was like in 2021
they should be real grateful they got all these shrines and crutchesā€¦

deepwoken verse 2 players after being forced to experience grinding luck (death)

legendary talent :money_mouth_face:

honestly i am someone that hates replaying games and in general would have losing all his stuff.

but yet deepwoken death isnā€™t that bad.

itā€™s hard enough to wipe tbh because if you are on your second life you can just level up to get it back, if you are in the depths itā€™s not too hard to beat the combat thing, unless you a much higher level or already died a few times.

and then when you DO wipe, itā€™s not like everything is lost, you can give some of your items to your next slot and you also get echo points for general upgrades. and also all the info you learned stays with you obviously lol.

i think some people just need to change their attitude towards dying in dw.
