A Twisted Path to Renown is Another Early Access Cash Grab...

[@MrAhnassi]

They also are the developers of Ultame Admiral and Ultimate General series of games, Naval Action and the upcoming Sea Legends. Most of those games are mediocre and unfinished as it seems like they try and make games according to trends, or trying to push themselves into a genre with little to no idea on how to make a good game in that genre.

@@Omega59er Yes, this shit is a myth, then there should be action movie fatigue :D Or superhero movie fatigue. There's only one thing: either good or shit

[@Jeevers84]

I agree. I don't think its any more overdone than any other genre. For example, CoD just keeps releasing the same thing year over year. CS:GO and R6:Siege are the same genre. There's a million battle royale's out there. Extraction shooters are just another FPS genre to add to the pile of genres. Arguably though, Extraction shooter are much fresher as they really started to become popular after PUBG. I think if a game is good, people will play it. It doesn't matter if there's 12 other games already in the same genre. It's hard to be innovative at this point, everything is copying each other to some extent.

[@arseania]

I think it's both one in the same. Because a lot of these games are coming out in such poor states like they're rushed or the developers do not care. Is creating a fatigue with the genre and causing discontent with the players. Whether they are fans of the genre or casual players looking for a new game. These games just become disheartening.

I have played This Land is my Land. It's incredibly unpolished, fun at times, but the graphics starts 'stuttering' and the game starts to lag, all you can do i start the game over until you have everywhere from 15 minutes to 1,5 hours to play until another restart is required. The studio says the game is 'In a finished state'. Which is far from the truth. I got it on sale, but it ain't finished, far from. I bet this game is in the same state.

EXACTLY, none of them have put any sort of interesting spin on the genre

[@ArcangelGamingEntertainment]

It seems like this genre suffers the same as the zombie survival genre. There are so many features that these games have to be so large that a lot of devs can't manage. So now, many of these new games dont get there because they don't understand how challenging it is.

[@alanstandsalone2802]

You nailed it perfectly. They developers have added so many nuances and details of resources that they overburdened the game.

[@King_CreepaLot]

To be fair that smoke you see when you fire is black powder, which is fitting for the time period! The particles could be better, though I also struggle with trying to get residual powder particles going. Edit: Didn't realize it was made by the same devs as This Land is My Land. I thought the graphics looked similar. If only we could have a late 19th century shooter that isn't also an extraction shooter...

Hunt showdown has a timer and collecting weapons from dead players is borderline penalized. No other items to collect either.

[@aabsurdity8817]

I play Twisted Path. I definitely worry that there is a cash grab going on because of certain unfixed issues. I also worry that the devs are out of their depth. However, the game is updated frequently and I see improvement over time. The game is *definitely not finished*, which is to be expected of a game that has just released into Early Access. It's been available for some time on another platform and was in an even more unfinished state there. It has definitely improved in many areas over time; and some areas where there hasn't been improvement are justifiable as placeholder features that will be replaced by entirely new systems later. The AI has receieved definite improvements; it is definitely not in a great place right now, but it is in a state of obvious change over time, and there are locations where it works well. The fact that it works badly in some areas and not others could be a sign of some areas being improved, or of the devs being out of their depths. We'll find out. Your complaint about movement speed shows up a big problem the game has with new player onboarding. Personally I thought "This movement is very slow, but I have my gun out and I'm aiming it. What's the holster key?" and discovered how to move faster. Other players, such as yourself, might need more guidance. But of course, when is the right moment to create a tutorial for a game in the middle of development? The developers seem to have taken the negative reviews following the Steam release on board; just before Steam, they released a statement apologising that development on the second map and the new crafting system are not yet finished. Releasing those two features has been a development target and a major (invisible) focus of development. Having been slammed hard by players bouncing off the game, they've said that they're urgently investing time into QoL features (this has been published to the Discord and the Steam announcements page; further patch notes to come when the patch is finalised). Like I said, the game is incomplete. By all means wait for the end of Early Access. I enjoy the game as it is now; it is definitely better than your review suggests; but the devs' extreme failure to appreciate player onboarding is very real and it's not a failure of a new player to find the game's features, it's the game's failure in not explaining its features fully. As a player, I would love it if you could give the game another hour or two of your time, maybe ask a couple of questions in the Discord to help get past the poor onboarding, and get to know the game as it is a little better; specifically so that you can come back in a month or two and give a better, deeper analysis of whether the game has improved or not.

[@Nevario1]

I have logged just over 127.5 hours into the very addictive game of This Land Is My Land that you mentioned here and so glad you covered that game. Yes, it had some bugs as it was in early development and as a gamer and project coordinator I began keeping track of not only the bugs I was experiencing but also what others were experiencing as well and also what the community were asking to improve on the gameplay, I loved this game that much and being of the First Nations was so happy to see a game of this genre. I am glad you mentioned their excuses regarding not updating the game due to the war but were able to work on other projects and releases that were not affected. I so wished they would release this game to the modding community because of the incredible and different aspect of gaming that it is. Thank you for at least mentioning TLIML and hope that the developers return to this game for the improvements I had sent them on their Discord community channel. Fantastic channel by the way.

To each their own i guess. Ive been enjoying this game alot. The first time i played it i wasnt sure id like it because it died alot but then i learned the map and started doing pretty good.

[@totallynototanmp4353]

As someone who supports Ukraine in their bid for independence, that is not an excuse for scummy business decisions. I've seen at least two devs now that have used the fact they are based in Ukraine as an excuse for delivering a rushed and poor quality product, and using the ongoing war as justification for doing so. Your country being at war doesn't give you automatic brownie points when you deliver dogshit games.

That cloud was what happens when you shoot a black powder gun of that time the smoke is so thick you can't see threw it for atleast 10-15 seconds irl, newer gun powders and fast burning powders dont do this but old school black powder does

[@Nevario1]

He just doesn't get that guns back then were horribly unreliable and using subpar materials because that's what they had at the time... It was relatively 'new.' Even then, they took liberties in the game design since 'suppressors' didn't really exists until the early 1900s. This is based in 1899, and the 'suppressor' wasn't commercially viable/available until like 1902.

[@lillerik01]

just watch war of rights when you shoot because then you can't see anything and the smoke is more real.

[@kaysen1208]

I played since December a good amount of time. And i can say in the first 10 Hours u figure out how things work and yeah they are jank. I guess it depends on what kind of player you are, if u are okay with the graphics and how the character moves. But it was also fun for me. I discovered later on the importance of the workshop and how important good ammo is. You discover later on as you progress in renown (at Lvl 5) that there are can be pretty good mercenaries, some of them have something like pain resistance or faster reloading. Food is there to buff yourself like the stims in tarkov. And yeah u cant run while wielding a weapon. And what i like to mention they are pretty active in communicating on discord, what i liked. There was a bug at ironmine, someone joined with me to cover where these bugs were comming from to help the developer. Felt like they really care for their game. The community is nice imo They abandoned "This Land is my Land" which is a fair point, this was something i discovered later on. But it's just my Opinion

[@astropolski]

Good vid dude. Fair criticism. Some corrections- Game is on unity not unreal. Later recruits have much better speeds along with food to buff. Holstering weapons also makes you move much faster. Map is 3x3km. Update from today from devs- QOL update based on feedback coming soon.

Interesting about the Unreal - Unity thing. I could have sworn I read multiple times that it was on Unreal.

[@astropolski]

@@BigfryTV no problem yh they said Unity a while ago to us when asked directly. Btw it didn't seem to save my comment properly - according to Hangman (one of the devs) its the same studio but not the same dev team working on this game as the others. For example its Draku's first game (dev for this).

[@masyukandrey]

This game is made on Unity and not on Unreal Engine. So it's a little strange to listen to an expert when he doesn't really know what engine it was made on LOL

[@gumsterify]

for anyone who is reading/watching this, and has even a slight interest in a wild west extraction shooter. Please look into Hunt: Showdown instead. I can promise you its a million times better than whatever this shit is. It has a viciously dedicated community, a new map and engine upgrade coming out in August, and has been around for years. Its dev cycle has been way better, and your money will be bettwr spent. If these devs are really that impacted by the war, then donate to the war and Ukraine via other means and charities. As far as a game goes tho, Hunt Showdown will simply be a better experience.

[@AdrianWr25]

Hunt Showdown its just the best extraction shooter for me!

[@Nevario1]

I tried Hunt it's a pure extraction shooter, not an extraction looter shooter. You don't accumulate items besides weapons. This is an extractor looter shooter with storage, crafting, quests, and eventually will have a homestead function similar to Tarkov's hideout. Hunt is a glorified deathmatch with bosses.

[@SvenTheFree]

This game is very good, I'm having fun playing this. need more development but is very good.

[@zlotywest860]

I really enjoyed that level zero extraction or how it was called. Started out as the alien so wasnt really ready for that much darkness and creepiness playing as human.

[@justjoe5373]

2:36 that is smoke cloud coming out of that gun. Guns back in 1899 worked with black powder. Black powder creates a ton of smoke, look it up on YT, the smoke clouds are gigantic. Modern guns use a compound that has way less smoke but back in the day they didn't have the tech for it The game has a lot of potential. I do like modern guns but I love the old guns and this era is really untapped. Mostly extraction looter shooters are set in modern times, this is much more interesting And I don't think there's an extraction looter shooter fatigue but an early access extraction looter shooter fatigue. I just wanna play a game that's got content. Takes most of them years to get the game into a state where the content and mechanics are good enough to play

You might not have figured out but to run fast all you need to do is holster your weapons.... and then to go even faster you can even eat tabacco.

Also that smoke coming out the barrel of your gun can be changed by just using ammo that is smokeless.

Why are they releasing it so early in development ? Are they fully financed for the "18-24" months of dev time? those two questions you ask yourself before buying into any early acess.

[@Pharaoh_The_Great]

The problem with extraction shooters is a couple of things… 1. it’s too exclusive, meaning it’s either always on PC only (no crossplay) or stuck in beta/rumored releases. 2. The player base divided between skilled issue (pve only, casual noobs) and non skilled issue (pvpve legit players). The devs don’t know who to cater to. And 3. BRs, milsims and survival PvPvE games is more readily available and lots of content. I think dmz spoiled the casuals so if the devs make a legit extraction shooter with realistic capabilities such as inventory system, backpack, looting, gear, weapons etc. casuals can’t wrap their brains around it since the learning curve might be more difficult.

Also they tried to abandon ultimate admiral dreadnought but there was so much backlash after the 1.0 release because the game wasnt finished and still isnt over a year after its 1.0 patch that they were forced to keep patching it....yet even now the game is still not finished...the campaign which is the main feature of the game slows down to a crawl, the ai makes completely terrible ship designs, the turn based nature of the campaign works against it being a strategy game as most of what happens in the campaign is outwidth your control as an example, if a Submarine attacks your fleet, you have no way of ensuring that submarine gets sunk, and the ai can keep slowing your game down with constant submarine attacks bc whether or not you sink them is a complete dice roll

If you live in Ukraine and tell somebody in the West "oh, can't work right now, cause of the war" nobody will question that. It's as simple as that. We live in a day and age where discourse is dying because you're not allowed to question things which are considered sensitive topics. Do I think these guys were being bombed at their offices? Not really, did they hear from a friend of a friend about office bombing? Maybe.

They just keeping copying each other and worse than previous ones Only the surface of extraction shooter

[@Jeevers84]

I'd suggest that's the same across the game industry. CoD just keeps releasing the same thing year over year. CS:GO and R6:Siege are the same genre. There's a million battle royale's out there. Extraction shooters are just another FPS genre to add to the pile of overdone genres. Arguably though, Extraction shooter are much fresher as they really started to become popular after PUBG. I think if a game is good, people will play it. It doesn't matter if there's 12 other games already in the same genre. It's hard to be innovative at this point, everything is copying each other to some extent.

I honestly was excited for this! seems like a very junky game. staying with Hunt Showdown.

[@whiskey13sweats]

Honestly I tried to like level zero but it just doesn’t do it for me. I feel like I’m shooting tooth pick from the pistols and there is no umf on impact. It’s just all around trash to me

[@OutboundFlight87]

Twisted path to renown is about a year into EA and has seen no improvement

[@atrece1313]

8 months 7 devs

[@Cyruseh]

I'm just so confused we actually have 2 extraction shooters and both of them will ruin anyone who is trying to start playing today Idk how that would be considered genre fatigue most of these games aren't even released or available for anyone other then content creators

[@Adrian890722]

Bought it and played for 15 mins then contact the customer support who was happy to refund me.

[@Oldboy..]

It sucks that using early access as a way to gauge interest is kind of broken; if you release something that's so far from what it should be, and no one buys it, you decide to kill the project. So what otherwise could have been a great game never got to get there because you pushed something that's bare bones at best. Really wanted twisted path to be something great, and it could, but the devs have to choose the hard road... the twisted path.. as it were. Sigh

[@Nevario1]

The game is still in development? what are you talking about? It's not abandoned.

[@Oldboy..]

@@Nevario1 there are many cases of devs putting out projects in early access to see how people respond. If positive, they keep working, invest more and develop the project, if there's a negative reaction, they at times, lose interest or switch to something else. Meaning a project that people don't immediately like may not see the development course that a project people are really in to will. It's all up to them though. I'm a big supporter of this particular project, I really like it, personally, they are still working on it, despite the overwhelming negative reviews & I really hope they continue to do so. I think this game could become something awesome.

[@Oldboy..]

@@Nevario1 and that's not a rule, or how it is, it's just a common scenario that I hope does not happen with this title.

[@hungryhedgehog4201]

this is like a small studio that has way too many games in development while also running an mmo. Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts was a disappointment, they came out of early access but it feels the same, every update breaks the savegames and then they try and quickly get some money via multiplayer dlc before they drop support. This is gonna go the same way. I understand that they are in a tough spot but then why work on so many games at the same time and pissing off your entire audience instead of working on one and making money that way. They basically have the only age of sail mmo but that also has stagnant support and a lot of p2w and people arent happy about it.

[@Feather1401]

I have friends in the Ukraine, they had to give up ther jobs to go fight and a some lost there lives ! So why are these people not off fighting or making drones or being medics? If it was the best game in the world I would not buy it on the fact alone there of military age and not helping there country fight for there freedom. Pray for the people of the Ukraine and the World. Peace

[@rabidkitten01]

Maybe these devs are getting some good ole fashioned US government cash injection for their war effort 😅 Only explanation for how they fund all these mid games.

[@RoyBrown777]

Instead of making a single player game, with multiplayer, co-op, 16 maps, several game modes, customisable characters. Now you buy a game, full price, 1 map, 1 mode, pay 2 win mechanics, nonstop skins being shoved in the game currency, it's cancer. It's unreal to me that young kids think they are getting a good deal. This game looks garbage. Like a cheap take on Hunt Showdown.

[@nicksparrow009]

Game Labs has terrible rep. Naval Action has become a cash grab

[@1slosport]

Wassup everyone

[@CallMeZex]

Hello

[@N0ctVrnaL]

💯

[@LeoMajor1]

So it's actually funny... this "game labs" dev... actually makes some really decent historical games.... The ultimate admiral and general games are decent.... but they don't finish games. Some of them are good but unfinished. People even said in the "this land is my land" reviews that the game was pretty good and they really enjoyed it..... but not finished.

[@Nevario1]

This Land is My Land was developed by the same company but a different dev team. So, sending ire to this dev team does nothing to the ones who were developing/still slowly working on This Land is My Land.

[@LeoMajor1]

@@Nevario1 Ooooh I see...... Thanks for the heads up

[@A3421]

Kinda reminds me of your game!

[@BigfryTV]

Oh totally. 1 being out for $27 and 1 having a free demo while we work on it to release for $10-$15. Shut the fuck up
