damn, just confirmed the news myself, thats massively troubling :(

They need to bring back old saves like a legacy map. I’m sad they took away the exploration. That was probably the most exciting thing and made better sense for all the terraforming gun upgrades that now feels a little pointless.

thats a tad overly dramatic, and i understand you liked the massive map style it used to have, but thats what you sign up for with early access games, you purchased an unfinished game. the devs switched to this for good reason it serems and at the end of the day its a factory game not an exploration game.

Its not over dramatic and there was no good reason for the change. As a matter of fact the game works worse now and crashes every 10 minutes once you get to sierra. And what I bought before was a factory exploration game it's not even close to being what I paid for. It's a trash game now.have fun trying to get through all that sand in the later maps especially when you don't have room to move around because the maps are so tiny 😅

@@robbedoflife1828 i completed it just fine, there was PLENTY of room! The sand was an interesting challenge too :)

I played it back with the "big" map and the map wasn't all that big, the only thing that was kind of like a secret was the monolith. I see no difference with the elevator separating the old zones into smaller ones.

I "was" playing satisfactory but it kept crashing for me again and again since 1.0 so i stopped playing :( hoping its fixed up by now so i can get back to it!

To bad Satisfactory grinds to a halt fps wise after a while. 30 fps on a high end rig ain't cutting it anymore.

@@fred6907 I've literally never had an framerate issues with Satisfactory. It must be your rig.

Early on you just fake it. stack them around that area with those first ones are or wherever. Unless something changed eventually you unlock core composers. Which are big platforms that will stack them for you.

there is a machine they go in, i only had to make 4 of them, they dont take up much room and they stack them for you :)

Easy answer, freight.

I found it extremely convenient to replace the Q key with the right mouse button. If something goes wrong, or to copy a building - just right-click !!

Thanks, will do!

No problem 👍

when you have games like Satisfactory that show you can have central catalog that shows all versions of the recipes in one place that makes things alot easier, its OK to learn and use these ideas. Or they could have used the late game example they themselves had and apply that to everything! this would fix so much!

Yikes thats a bit on the large side! Really am hoping they tweak the ending though, after playing so long for nothing to happen was a big let down

@@KenetorTV Sadly this hasn't really changed... There is a lot more story now, but I still don't see it as a finished product. But I don't think their done, so I hope there is still something in the oven. I'm only hoping it doesn't get the "DLC" label.

You watching my reviews in a futon?! 😂

@KenetorTV future!!!!!! Lol

Then its not for you, I dont normally like driving games but have found it very enjoyable

yeah, its sad how eve and ccp are just stagnant for so long!

in that they both have spaceships yes, but otherwise no

Having never played Starsector, I can't speak to that. However Starcom seems to be a spiritual successor to Star Control 2 and Star Flight, especially Star Flight. I played Star Flight on a Sega Genesis and loved it and Starcom has captured that same vibe almost perfectly but with far better graphics.

we are still not seeing much progress though sadly :(

I appreciate that!

I agree I would like to see more, im not a massive fan of deck builders, some do it well, some feel like a copy paste job, but games in general need to push to create new experiences

I recently got "This is Warp" to play with the wife but will give For the warp a look, so many similar sounding names makes it tough to remember if ive seen it or not lol!

@@KenetorTV It's similar to Breachway as it is a space deckbuilder, but it's pixel art and wonderfully executed imo. It uzes charm. Definitely made with love. RNJesus is a thing, but with strategic planning your mostly fine. Wouldn't be surprised if it's one of the inspiration source for Breachway since it's a bit older already.

I think you played the same older demo that i did which gave me the very same vibes, the crew abilities now refresh by 1 for each crew per map point moved to so can be used far more often. for weapons i think there are 6 or 7 types but plenty of variation in the cards that each provide. Im not sure if they added a little more content to the demo but the systems were updated, and id at least recommend another shot at it, but waiting could also be the right choice for you, especially with the lack of content in terms of ship variation and only 2 maps, but certainly keep an eye on it as we also find out price tomorrow. They also made a big post about current and future content here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/2118810/view/4691151906576922184

👍🤟🤟🤟

My pleasure! Im glad you enjoyed another one ^_^

Thanks for the sub! glad you enjoyed the content!

I really wish we had the price by now, it makes no sense when price is hidden till launch day

@@KenetorTV Hooded Horse have had the same policy on the release of all the games they released this year as a publisher, maybe for longer. We won't know the price till launch. Wanted to say great review and very well done. I do think however that you should have mentioned the progression bug being fixed earlier in the video, I was contemplating taking it off my wishlist until you mention that it was in fact fixed at a much later point in the video than the literal opener to talking about the game as it very well could be a dealbreaker for most people who might click off the video after thinking that it is still an issue.

@@FatalExit yup im aware this is a publisher issue, its definately something i want to bring up with them because an important part of a review is relaying value to potential players and its very hard to do without a price! You may be right about bug fix update but when you have spent half a day editing timing of clips all over, you dont want to completely screw that up and cause more work, and thats the situation i faced. And i wish more people would watch the whole video and get the whole opinion i give because if i could have made it shorter i would have! I try and cut everything non relevant as much as i can but this one was a bit on the long side. Also while bugs can be bad, they CAN be fixed, brokjen core gameplay can not, at least not easily, and thats an important distinction. and it doesnt men you cant come back for 1.0 if you decide on skipping the EA launch too :)

@@TheHopelessNinja only really the UI tutorial, nothing ive done covers the new heat mechanics sorry but the ships i put in the shop should all ork with heat

then they wouldn't be playing games, it would just be a job in software... which is why games should STAY entertainment only, money has corrupted enough things in life already, including games now we have battlepasses, overpriced cosmetics, huge chunks of games cut off to sold as DLC instead. enough is enough already i say

@@KonglomeratYT thanks! Appreciate the comment!

what?

oh i understand all right, but you know where the door is :)

oh i do understand it, i understand that it doesnt need to be part of games at all :)

@@KenetorTV It's just your opinion, times have changed, sorry man.

@@rsn7341 lmao no they really havent lol but if you can tell me what adding crap solves that traditional methods couldnt ill give ya a gold star

@@KenetorTV it also doesn't need to not be part of games

thanks for the mansplain but you are not buying anything for $ your buying a blockchain currency then using that to buy things, that a small but very important difference. And yes you might be able to sell on your ship after, but thats just recovering loss from an already HORRENDOUS game design, real world currency should not be involved in game systems. normalising this is cancer, play to earn is cancer, having games become jobs (especially in developing countrys) is cancer. Games, competitive like eve or otherwisem are entertainment and should stay that way! As for any "metaverse" this will never happen, and thinking it will shows an IMMENSE lack of understanding on how games are made.

​@@KenetorTV Man, I'm just respectfully trying to explain why I don't agree with you. I call this "arguing," and that's how I usually learn from people who don't share my point of view. Sorry to see that you saw it as mansplaining. That being said, I don’t understand how buying in-game assets with crypto instead of plain dollars makes a significant difference. Crypto is just a proxy here, as it's easier and faster to exchange between players. But at the end of the day, once your asset is sold, you can swap your crypto for dollars. Maybe you could expand on your thoughts? Every modern multiplayer game involves real-world currency, but currently, it only flows one way: from your pocket to the studio's pocket. With blockchain games, money is free to circulate: • From player to player: In Skyweaver, for example, I can win a rare cosmetic by playing the game for free, and another player who doesn’t want to spend time grinding can buy it from me. • From studio to player: In Axie Infinity, if you're good enough to climb the seasonal leaderboard, you can earn thousands of dollars in cash prizes. This can be a good way for aspiring esports players to start their careers. Does this mean blockchain will fix bad game design? Absolutely not. If your game design and economy are poorly executed, blockchain won't magically fix it. But the point is, blockchain isn't the problem-many games have bad design and economy without using blockchain. I agree with you that games are primarily entertainment-at least, that's true for me. I don't play games to make a living; I play them to relax with friends or to enjoy amazing solo adventures. But I also understand that not everyone enjoys games for the same reasons I do. If someone enjoys games by being competitive, I wouldn’t yell at them, "STOP TRY-HARDING, YOU SHOULD ENJOY GAMES FOR THE SAME REASONS I DO." Similarly, if someone plays games only to collect PlayStation trophies or Xbox achievements, I wouldn't say they shouldn't do that just because it’s not fun for me. I also know for a fact that playing to earn money in Axie Infinity saved lives in the Philippines during the pandemic. Who am I to tell a Filipino they shouldn't play that game for money? As for your last point about my supposed lack of understanding of how games are made because I think metaverses are a thing, you might want to call CCP and tell them they don’t know how games are made either. Because that's exactly what they're planning to do with EVE: Frontier-a shared persistent world, in their own words.

the acquisition by Pearl Abyss has gone from bad to worse over the years. but its not just CCP we need to be wary of, all the big publishers are moving in on doing this more and more, Ubisoft, EA, Square Enix, supercell, and more, they all see as a means to make line go up, big stonks, crypto bros are promising the world and getting massive investment. The future is not looking great for main stream games, we are gonna have to support indies more and more!

doesnt it just sound like fun and great design!? /s

hopefully it makes people pay attention, crypto problems in games is only gonna get worse!

@@KenetorTV I don't think it will be a super long term problem. I'd hope that new projects aren't starting that use this, but all the stuff that spun up during the time all the C-levels were going "We need more blockchain!" are going to pop out now. We'll see though.. :D

exactly the only reason to involve blockchain in games is always money money money! its never to solve a problem, because there isnt a problem in games that blockchain solves more than other options
