      Conan Exiles is one of my favorite games. I got invited to the beta for this. And I tried 3 different times to enjoy myself and just couldn’t. Kind of sad. It looked like it could have been cool.

          Nothing seemed to stick for me. The server was fine though. Just didn’t intrigue me

      I saw an early invite only alpha and it looked amazing. A month or so ago i saw a vlosed beta and the game looked very… Different. The animations looked worse and the textures looked cheap.

        You sure that guy wasn’t playing on a potato? (Or a brand new Nvidia 5060Ti 8GB?) Low VRAM makes a lot of games look like crap, because it’s either dropping textures or running like ass when you overflow VRAM.

          From what i read the on set playtesting pc’s were absolute monsters to keep up wuth the game. Not sure about the streamers i saw, but they usually don’t play on potatoes. I’m still on the fence, the game looks pretty fun.

    Reviews make it sound like a nightmare. People building bases all up on top of each other because it’s the easiest places to get resources.

      Played for about 2 hours yesterday and that’s exactly what is happening. The game prevents you from plopping your space right on top of another base but the blocked region around it isn’t very large.

    Played Conan Exiles. It’s my favourite survival game put of all the ones I’ve tried. Might give this one a shot, but I’ll have to see some gameplay and reviews first.
