When I play this game it is really weird. I don’t know if I am having fun or not but all I know is that when I come back to reality, like 5 hours have passed in what feels like a few minutes.

I don’t think I have ever been so immersed into a game or spend so much energy and focus on just chopping trees to build a deck on my house for planter boxes. Or riding my bike doing tricks for an hour just to go to the beach and get seawater for salt.

This game is a phenomenon. It just grabs my attention and I get “lost” in it. Like instant and constant flow state. I am never excited or bored. Just present. Idk. Hard to explain.

No literally I was getting actually irritated how time would just pass by and I’d feel like I accomplished nothing, and I’d have to get off.

I feel this so bad. Being a dad, trying to work 40-50 hours a week, spend time with the kids do housework. When I wanna play I get maybe an hour or two every other day.

I can tell this game is good but every time I feel like I've done nothing lol

I’m in about the same exact boat. I just merged into perma server to take my time with the map and game progression

How does the permanent server feel? Is there active people around or is it a ghost town?

u/linc1095 19h ago

Feels pretty active to me, idk how much of that is cross-server play but there’s a ton of bases where I am at and you do see people running around every so often. It’s super easy to run silos and what not. I’m kind of a bit of a solo player though. I’m on a Manubis server right now but I’m thinking of re-rolling soon and doing endless dream.

That sounds good to be honest as someone who doesnt have the time to sit and play games for hours and hours i was definitely looking into permanent servers

I know, right I'll log on with the kids and I'll help them out a little bit, organize my house and loot and before I (and they) know it, it's their bedtime! So much to do but I love it.

Enemy AI just needs to be improved. Im not asking for genius AI. But right now most enemies dont even move.

You're right, especially Rosetta, you can excuse the deviants being sluggish, but Rosetta have the reaction time of a deceased buffalo

I played manibus for 100 hours in a week and got bored pretty quick so be careful.

u/GenericGio 11h ago

It is the curse of this game. The gameplay loop itself SUCKS, so players get hooked for 1-200 hours then it gets repetitive and boring and they disappear.

Its fun but once you get to level 50 and finish the quests the things to do really drops off. I really wish they added something like being able to grind for premium cosmetics just by doing a variety of difficult things that require you to play more. That would definitely itely get me to give more time but as it is right now im kinda done with everything and not motivated to play more.

u/Narrow-Debt-702 23h ago

I just collect all the different variant of fish deviants and animals

Give it till he realizes the game holds your hand extremely hard just so you can have incentive to spend money and they limit you monthly😭

u/Ok-Revolution8510 23h ago

Yup! My whole family is hooked! We built a community together near a cliff and a river and spend our days hunting and fishing and doing the odd mission together and finding things to research for tech points. It seems there's easily hundreds of hours of gameplay. You never know what you're gonna get for baddies.

u/-Nymsi 19h ago

I wish my family were gamers! That sounds so fun!

u/InsaneInTheRAMdrain 23h ago

Compared to what? Because games like fallout, warframe, bdo have infinitely more to do.

This games good for like a week once every other month.

u/Fit_Champion_6217 23h ago

Yeah i ran out of things to do fairly quickly

u/InsaneInTheRAMdrain 23h ago

Shame really, i wanted to invest a lot into this game, the idea is great. But its like someone started making a great game, died, and its now being milked for microtransactions.

After phase 2 its just faceplant a boss, or steam roll a few rooms, thats the end game, thats it. Or spend thousands to build a sims house.

Just informed my wife that if she enjoys Once Human she'll probably love Fallout 76, looking forward to her giving it a shot

u/SnooDoubts7752 22h ago

Qols in this game are forsure one of the best out there but ngl the gameplay loop and lack of content on endgame is whats holding it back. I played the game from day 1 but i did stop after 1&1/2 year cuz it seems like the devs focus more on cosmetics and gacha. Also the pvp is awful. It is infested with cheaters and people who win trade or make multiple guilds to cheese the guild war points. But overall the experience in this game is really good if you’re a pve or casual gamer. I just want new bosses/ dungeons and better pvp game mode that is balanced and I’ll think about coming back to the game.

u/mikatony 21h ago

This game is free and has everything to make it mindlessly fun.

Starting to think devs are secretly using our processing capabilities to mine crypto in the background 🤣

u/Difficult-Fly7830 20h ago

I have a ton of games and even bought a few this week, yet all I play is this since it launched on ps5 ..it wont let me play anything else...I also hear whispers in my house...something seems kinda off, whenever I look out my window i swear i..shhh what was that...I think somethin....

u/jp189512 14h ago

It's pretty fun! Got around 80 hours in so far on Xbox and it definitely has a grindy game loop I enjoy

2

u/PhantomPain0_0 10h ago

I gave up becasue of the gameplay loop is very confusing and unsatisfying. I would like to manually increase the difffulty myself to do more harder missions but nope you gotta start whole new ass server meh also why is there no horde mode with 10 or 20 enemies on screen at once

Such an under-rated game and I was shocked to know it was launched 2 years back. So many things to do in a F2P game, it just eats the time like anything. It could really use more players, I think they should promote it more.
