It’s not just me having a difficult beginning (Admittedly difficult not being the proper term more like confused or bored) I can’t compare using the Oculus store, but using Steam just checking most recent and negative reviews you can easily see people barely put in three hours before giving up. Upon reading said reviews you can see that there is a common thread among a lot of them - that being there isn’t enough starting information to make the player feel confident in continuing.
“After the reboot OrbusVR became a really confusing experience”
“* None of this shows up in your map, which is multiple pages of this book you carry. No points of interest on the map. You don’t show on the map. It’s literally like having a hand drawn map of each area, which means you will be completely lost after you’re done with the starting area.*”
" I couldn’t figure out how to open my map"
“I tried. I really tried. I have not found anything to keep me playing. I just kept walking, lonely, lost, from point a to b.”
I’m not trying to disparage the entirety of the game itself, but just a few of these reviews as I scrolled with less than an hour of playtime. To me that shows a true lack of immersion/lack of knowledge/tutorials/confusion
I paid the money, just like everyone else. Just hope that in the long run we’ll see a population greater than 300 players on any given day.
Am I mad? A bit. But I’m here aren’t I? Trying to give suggestions to perhaps make game play smoother and better for the general population. I obviously want to continue to play it, otherwise I’d just uninstall and demand a refund or give it a negative review. But little things like being able to move the balls around on your character - C’mon it’s pretty trivial stuff but is frustrating to learn after the fact. Fishing, Lore, Etc it should all be well explained.
I guess wait and see what the update has in store.
