the different sca.b flavors would be purchasable for $10

you'd have to pay $20 to get into every lab

Playing custom game disables achievements which is what most people do

me who learned all of this in the first 30 minutes: i'm 4 parallel universes ahead of you

I confused weak points with crits lol thought they were the same needed a vid like this to null my theory

Me and my friend built a base inside of the big tree. So there ist a way you can glitch in the tree by placing a sleeping thing under the tree and then you just give up and you spawn inside the tree. And the we built really high up with an elevator made out if bounce pads. And yeah the base is so cool because you have a view over the whole map

the most recent numbers for gamepass is 34 mil

Na I would do the fist

70 hours and I haven't killed swamp boss yet.

I personally do spear, red ant club, antlion club, broodmotger club, then I forgot the rest

I played this game from inception. countless hours. It got me to subscribe to game pass ultimate. the problem isn't funding. it's just, well, it's time for the story to end. the devs are adding stuff for the sake of adding. it's unfortunate in some way like fallout. I'd say to someone "you should play this" but it's not new. i was happy there was and ending, but it was sad but it needed to happen.

Bro this man predicted the future there is a fire ant queen now

Proprietary upsizers. For PC most games look better with DLSS with FSR showing way too much noise. Luckily with Grounded the noise from FSR is low and the image great since it is simple Pixar like graphics it is upsizing. Funny that a PC weaker than either console can provide better quality at 4K using FSR.

Maybe do them in the order they are numbered on the map??

Because you’re mediocre…

U should use the acid edge instead of the termite axe

This aged like fine wine

Grounded is amazing, but I think it deserves a massive DLC. Maybe opening up another back yard or being able to go in the house.

I'm currently at the end of my first playthrough, and is say the wasp scared the crap out of me the first time they attacked.

Its possible they're trying to get a feeler before they give the go ahead to make the sequel by getting it on all platforms and seeing the performance. Also by not being able to see their numbers of games sold does not mean there's none it just means that info wasn't shared. Finally your restaurant metaphor was kind of weak and not at all similar with many big factors

I believe Microsoft said it would be a franchise, i couldn't be sure though. I also think it had to do with the release date. It started gaining players around when people were transitioning from xbox one to xbox series. So, nobody with the newer gen consoles wanted to play a game based on outdated software adapted to the older gen (unreal engine four i believe) i love grounded, i'll always support it, but i think they are losing money with the updates. The 1.4 update was based around Ng+ and most players won't experience it, since they are casual.

this is a good thing id rather they keep updating this game.

You have to think as a day one gamepass release that they are measuring the profit metric in gamepass subscriptions sold. There are countless people who will see a game on gamepass and subscribe based on just a couple titles. High player count is exactly what Microsoft is looking for as when they release on gamepass they are renting a game from the developers for the ability to add it to their library.

If the game was being made for 6 years they shoulda just dropped what they had and make it low priced instead of losing out on the whole thing

Remember when you could outrun wolf spider's with level 1 running perk and aphid boots

first run without looking anything up could take 50 hours....are you a god or what. my first run i hadnt even sailed out to do the elder in that first 40 hours lol like are you even trying to gear up/ enjoy the game

One thing I have to say is: "IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY SPIDERMAN" In other words it's COMPLETELY possible that Obsidian Entertainment will make a sequel regardless of whether it makes them alot of money

I love Grounded’s aesthetic and would have been more than happy to see a sequel even if they reused assets. A bigger map and deeper story, a few more bugs and such and I would be satisfied.

I literally just found this today😭

problem is even indies are having trouble securing funding now days and many small studios have closed and we never hear about it. things are going to get a lot worse across the industry i think.

I can appreciate this video. I just started this game this week and can see where this game flopped. I think your analogy with the paintings is spot on with this game, it’s a great game and update it’s just that it came so late that you can’t expect the entirety of the original fan base and new players to flood in after so much time has passed w/o anything new. Overall great game though, I’m having a blast with it.

Bro gotta change the video lol 😂

Can i get tropys in easy Mode?

In Our play through ( after completing the haze lab ) It does the same without turning haze off!

Fire ant queen and wasp queen added and people came back

I think Grounded would be one of the few games that would be a good candidate for a sequel for these reasons: 1) Grounded development was stunted because of console hardware limitations, this isn't true for like any other game and it would give the devs on Grounded 2 so much more room to add good features to the game, and add more polish. 2) Grounded still has more content potential. Besides the storyline, there are so many more opportunities to add in terms of content to the game. There are SO MANY species of critters they could add to encounter, and there are also environments they never got to add in Grounded like a cold, indoor, or a deeper underground section besides the undershed. 3) Grounded still has more potential in terms of its combat variation, as most attacks involve parrying only. But this could be expanded into attacks that show a weak point or attacks in which you have to move out of the way instead of parrying. This is a whole lot more reasons than any other game has to justify a sequel.

I wished that they added this but they just jad to scrap it😢

its so sad :(

That is very disappointing...

Jadecraft had the community manager in his stream and they were asking him a bunch of questions but i noticed he was just dodging the question or giving weird answers. Paralyser who was also in the stream asked if they would improve the faction reactivity since it happens so randomly and you don't really know what bugs you annoy. The community manager responded by saying that they didn't need to change it and the manager was just making terrible excuses. He joined knowing they were going to ask questions but basically sat on the fence and didn't tell them anything.

It was $100 on PlayStation pre release

I disagree with points in this video and think that it's misguided in saying that microsoft wants to have developers not put things on game pass. Without diving into the details of the deals that gamepass gives developers and just sharing anecdotal evidence about Mircosoft shifting course I just don't feel like this video is hard evidence that they are going away from gamepass or really says too much believable stuff. Thanks though gave me things to think about.

Nah dude disagree with your garbage takes and the Grounded community knows at this point not to take a damn thing you say seriously. Gtfoh.

i feel like xbox needs to stop chasing money and let these little companies do what they want. Grounded had a nice little community that slowly grew and it would have had a lot of support for future games and who knows what they could do with the series. Survival games just need more profitability and more recognition rather than just canceling them because they don’t make money. Rip grounded 🥲

As someone who is playing this through game pass, I’d 100% buy it if they took it off and I’d buy a sequel as well

it dont need a sequal. i seen many sequals be junk compared to the original. they likely dont want to ruin the game with a medicore sequal

FUCKING MICROSOFT

My hot take: the entirety of gaming needs to stop pursuing money. Good games will naturally profit. Systems like SBMM & EOMM along with strict deadlines, creating forced & rushed projects. 90% of the game creation industry is too focused on manipulating profitability with inter-game algorithms & annual releases. Gaming needs rework if it’s going to see a future.

I hope Avowed is good it’s my second most anticipated game this year after Jurassic park survival, am definitely gonna buy it unless it has a horrible launch/reviews. Also did outer worlds sell well?

Feel like they’re missing a trick.! They should just bring out grounded 2 but not on game pass… it clearly has a massive following and they could almost guarantee that they would sell around 10-15 million copies.! Especially if it hit around 20 million players before it came out on PlayStation… 🤔 🤷🏿‍♂️
