Starbound [Winter Update!]

Literally the only thing i've that i've seen is that you get meat by using a hunting bow. that's it.

I don't see what the pineapple people are complaining about. You need to use a hunting bow to get meat? so what? They completely took away the annoyance of having to switch from a pick axe to an axe, by using the grabber thing.

You people are complaining about ONE negative which doesn't actually effect the game at all, and completely ignoring the positives. "oh no I have to play a hybrid character!" No you don't.

I find it irritating that people are giving themselves self-limiting gameplay styles and then being pissed off that a game in BETA does not accommodate them completely. Stop whining.

You're not quite getting the point. It's not about "letting me put limits on my gameplay", it's about giving the freedom in somebody's gameplay. What if they don't WANT to be forced to upgrade all of these things at the same time? The difference between the hunting bow and the typical axe/pick thing is one is a tool and one is a major weapon. Meaning one doesn't affect your playstyle when all you're doing is switching in to chop a tree down and the other is hurhur can't get this item by any means that you need without switching to this weapon type. People have different playstyles, so a sandbox shouldn't be the genre that forces you into specific ones.

Also, the game isn't littered with "positives" to begin with. You make it seem like the game is god-tier and people are just nitpicking it. There are more issues than just the hunting bow which I've mentioned at least a couple more in my previous post. So far Starbound's positives are limited to its charming art style and "fresh start".

The only person whining is yourself. The point of beta is to bring up issues in the game. It doesn't matter how big or small they are, if something isn't quite right you bring it up. A game doesn't just automatically have its issues fixed for full release out of nowhere; you need people reporting issues first. So whether the issues are "They keep using it's instead of its", or the hunting bow, or the floaty controls, or the out-of-place SFX, etc they're going to be talked about. We have no way of knowing what they ALREADY plan to fix or tweak after all, so bringing up anything is important. For all we know they would have never noticed certain issues had they not been brought up by the community.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be in Diamond Tier pre-order status if I was just going to completely pomegranate on the game and not give it a chance right from the start. I've been looking forward to this just like everybody else, and I still am, but I'm going to at least be realistic and honest about what I see as well as my own experiences once Beta is fully out for everybody tomorrow.
