  • Levels 7-15 are filled with griefers
  • There are no viable builds for levels 12-17, everything is awkward and unbalanced
  • You're assigned a team when you spawn, but you don't even know the teams exist until level 12 or so, and once you learn what team you're on, you can't change teams
  • You're forced to play on hardcore mode and you're only allowed one playthrough [disputed]
  • There's no pause, and if you logout it's game over
  • Game balance is shitty: P2W players exploit the rest, some players spawn with permabuffs in place, others spawn with permanerfs
  • Nobody can see any other player's HP or buffs, so a player playing on ezmode can pretend they're just good at the game
  • No official documentation, although certain clans claim they have the official documentation, these clans are frequently at war over whose documentation is correct
  • Released 10 billion years ago, no updates since, no way to contact the devs
  • Multiplayer only
  • Player housing exists, but is absurdly expensive and requires constant grinding to maintain
  • Cooking minigame can be fun, but you have to play it all the time, and it's expensive to skip it. It's also attached to a clean-up minigame which sucks.
  • Most food in the game has long-term debuffs that are hard to clear
  • You have to juggle all these meters: health, thirst, hunger, temperature, horniness, sleep, boredom, anxiety, etc. but the devs didn't simply put them on a HUD, instead there are these frequently buggy out-of-band hints.

  • Extremely limited character creation options.

  • After about level 40 the higher the level you get to, the less powerful your character becomes.

I'd say no character creation options. Characters can only be created by other existing players working as a pair. The characters they create are mostly stuck with whatever attributes their creators possessed, plus some randomness thrown in. Even they get no character creation options. The closest thing they get to character creation options is in choosing the other player they want to work with for character creation.

Unfortunately, the character creation minigame is probably the most fun minigame in "Earth", and a lot of people play it without actually intending to create a character at all. They may never even evaluate whether the partner they chose for the minigame might create a good character with them.

If that minigame results in a character getting created, you can be assigned that character when you first login. There's no character select screen, no customization screen, you just start playing.

Luckily, there are a minority of players who play a version of the character creation minigame which, for them, is just as fun as the "official" one, but this version has no chance of ever creating a character. Sadly, most players have absolutely zero interest in that version of the minigame and only want to play the original.

no documentation but plenty of youtube tutorials on what not to do. or how to do it very shittily.

The last bullet is the best!

I was thinking of "My Summer Car", where you have a "urine" meter that you have to manage.

The Sims is a better known franchise with such a mechanic.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

Not better known by me.
