Posted August 6, 2015 Any thoughts on this early-access game? It looks quite Wurmian. It's @ £5.99 for the next 23 hours. http://www.savagelandsgame.com/ http://store.steampowered.com/app/307880/ http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/08/06/savage-lands-review-early-access/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 6, 2015 The trailer looks nice but I saw two things in the description that puts it on my *pfft-no-way-in-hell* list...... Steam and perma-death. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) looks cool, though when the dragon appeared it immediately reminded me of skyrim edit: also, seems to only be private servers Edited August 6, 2015 by Fireflyb 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 6, 2015 Q. Is there any permanent death in Savage Lands?A. No, this game lets you respawn when you die. Upon death you will be given the option to respawn which will place you at one of the spawning points on the beach. You are able to construct a 'Pike of Resurrection' which will let you activate, and thus change your respawn point. You can create many different pikes, as it is only the one that you most recently activated that will act as your respawn point. When you do respawn, you will not have any of your items, so you will have to find your old body to recover your items....unless someone found your corpse first. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=391466315 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 6, 2015 Interesting, because on the page from your first link it says........ "Every decision counts. One mistake can mean permanent death." Instant turn off. They should change that if it's not the case then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 6, 2015 I can't like any game with private servers that don't have a longrunning world where players come together. It's so...fleeting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Dabbling with this currently in single player mode. A few coworkers watching over my shoulder while I played have decided to try it out also. Certainly intense. Just staying alive takes up a majority of time. Cold and starvation both take their toll quickly if you don't take the proper measures. Certain mobs I can't seem to kill no matter what I do. Perhaps they require several players. Very reminiscent of Skyrim with the nordic touch in some ways. It's fun. Was scary my first night when I locked myself in an abandoned house fearing that the skeletons and animals outside walking around the house would push the door open and come inside. Now, I stay outside and kill what I can. With more content this might be a good game, once you get past the point of just surviving and start thriving which is where I'm starting to find myself. For now, it's a nice distraction when I need a change of pace. I probably wouldn't get it if I had to pay full price of $19.99 for a pre alpha, but on sale it's a good deal, you'll get your money's worth.

Posted August 22, 2015 Raph Koster told mmorpg.com recently the following By makingCrowfall a PvP game, not a content-driven game full of quests, Crowfall is able to rewind time on things like costs, hugely. Quests are easily an enormous amount of the cost of a modern MMO. By not doing a PvE extravaganza, they're able to instead spend those dollars on other things. The good and bad about all these sandbox/survival games is how they can be tossed together like a medieval salad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
