"Bored" posters in a nutshell
Imagine it being a sinking ship instead though, and there you have '' imagine your own adventure'' '' Create your own fun'' Game is fun, don't get me wrong... i no life played it all day today and had a blast. But i know it will get boring very soon, and i do feel it with how it currently is, i also know it will go down hill when other people realise it aswell. But! i do hope this game does well. I feel most people saying it's boring just want the game to have some changes, they like part of the game but want abit more y'know? meanwhile other people only think of the fun they had just then and don't think about how they will feel 10-50 hours laterEh, I'll only apply that if they walk into unrelated (usually positive) threads and start spouting off about how we should all hate the game like they do.
If they want to post their concerns in their own threads, thats fine by me. Goodness knows this game needs fleshing out. But what we have is fun and well made, so that'll tide me over (har hARRR) for now :)
Granted, if people are enjoying the game then that's good for them. The issue I personally find is that when it comes to discussion on the quality of the game, it's release and development and what could be improved, many of the people enjoying the game defend it with null points, such as 'but i'm having fun', whilst those that are not so supportive are making valid and relevant points as to what the issues are and how they could be improved.
There's still a lot of over zealous blind adoration of the game here on the forums, and those people will love and support the game, that is, until the next pretty tech demo with an unusual theme comes out, and they can all rush over to support that.
I've seen a few users (very few) on here that both enjoy the game, and agree that it has many issues that need to be dealt with. Those are the people this game needs / needed. It seems to me the bulk of the pioneers / insiders were not massively helpful in the games development due to blidly adoring everything about it just because they we're allowed in early.
or continue sticking your fingers in your ears and ignoring the one side of criticism.
I notice now....alot of the regular posters have vanished as the game is out, why would they stay to give feedback?! the game is DONE its released, this is the finished product and people frankly arent happy but the forum is now left with people who are one extreme or the other...shame
Most are not saying there is no fun to be found. Many (myself included) are having a lot of fun but can easily foresee it growing old very fast. Lots of players are only playing due to using a free trial of the Game Pass, if the game doesn't hold people past next week (which I don't think it will), it will be dead in the water (pun fully intended).

I would say 50/50 (maybe a bit more weight on the useful side). We did have good Pioneer topics and we did give feedback. I am sad to believe they didn't make enough use of them.

this is true, i'm on a 14 day free trial right now. The game is $100+ in newzealand, and as the game is after trying it. i wouldn't even pay $40, this is not to say the game is horrible, the game is damn beautiful... to look at.. and the gameplay is alright to satisfy someone for a little while... But long term no.. it's like a job once you do the same thing 1000 times.. what do you even spend your money on once you have the look you want?
This is great. One of the guys I work with had a similar view on it and believes everyone got ripped off. I was playing with my brother and two of my friends last night and he joined our party and was all like, "Yo, why do y'all insist on playing this game? It died on the day of launch and there is literally nothing to do but the same quests over and over again." This is the same guy who bought a PS4 just to play No Man's Sky, and according to him is the game that is going to change gaming forever (he still plays it).
I have mentioned this in a few other threads, but the game does need a variety of content in future updates. I am happy with the launched game though. I think it is a great foundation to build on and I see myself staying active for quite sometime so $60 was not all that bad.
Sail safe, mateys!

No Mans Sky? Ew. Elite Dangerous is by far and away the better all-round game.
@sanni
I'm actually glad you used that analogy.I use it to explain exactly what is WRONG with the game, yet why it is still fun:
Does this football field have a bunch of different sporting equipment on it? NO
Is it still fun to play with just the soccer ball and two goals? YESdo you see the difference?
Sea of thieves has barely any content. Truly it does - people are rightly annoyed about this.
But you are saying that the game is fun, as if that is somehow a valid response to claims of no content.
That's not a response:
Does the game have much content? NO
Is the game fun? YESyou can say yes to one and not the other, and it still is true.
To me it seems that adding more content will be the easy part after making sure the base game mechanics work great, which they do, if you ignore the overloaded servers.
Even small things like adding shadow, plant and gold skeleton variations was a noticeable improvement compared to the beta.
I hope Rare will push a small feature upgrade each week for the next 5 years.

Whaaaaat just two goals, a ball and some grass??? Where is the content! Nobody is going to play this game ever!!!
Sorry but I could not resist. ;)
The problem is the ball is flat.
Edit: Don't get me wrong, the pitch is beautiful, and me and my friends are having a great chat while we're here, but we're probably just going to get a different ball.
