I enjoy this game and I have been playing nearly daily since launch and can easily see myself playing another 500 hours?Discussion
Man, I have enjoyed playing this game and I feel like the game has managed to keep me glued so you can try all the expeditions and map rotation events, but I’m just seeing other games come out (Slay the Spire 2), new things on the horizon and when I get the itch to play, I suddenly tell myself:"It's time to load up Stella Montis and blast people while looking for loot at the same time"
Or, “How do I take a fight without putting myself in a disadvantage and trying to hold off the third parties, or kill people trying to do trials. Stuff like that.
I just instantly boot up the game. I’ve played multiple round of Hurricane and it was cool, trying to anvil/ferro 1 shot people who are not wearing shields.I read this subreddit daily. I’m still glued to the news, developments, memes, updates, etc etc.
Yeah, I might not be able to play 14 hours straight on a weekend and enjoy it as much as when the game first released but the thrill and the adrenaline of the game is still there.
If I feel tired PvPing, I can just play some Spaceport and start killing Arcs and the PvP players will definitely come and its a different experience again trying to hold off players while fighting Arcs
Btw, there is nothing wrong with feeling burnt out but playing a game the same way for 100+ hours while just pressing a button to open a container will definitely speed up the process.
Think about games competitive games like Counter-strike or LoL, why do you think players are able to keep playing this for 10000+ hours when there is basically no "ENDGAME"?? You're fighting humans and humans are unpredictable and its dynamic, fighting AI/Arcs are mainly a solved problem, when you know their weak point its just a matter of exploiting it. The endgame is skill ceiling, mastery of a hero and having fun while doing it.
Arc Raiders is also similar as there is no endgame RNG chase, you're mainly aiming for blueprints only and not aiming for a God roll on a piece of equipment or whatever.
Why did you think Embark added PvP to their game? It's such a trite argument but the amount of posts about people getting burned out and being unable to enjoy the game anymore says as much.
