Very hard to feel sympathy for people who not only fell for an NFT-grift, but an NFT-grift by Peter Molyneux.

Looks nice, I will!

For me, getting to know and like it took some time and I’ve unfortunately seen some people bounce off it immediately after using it for a few minutes. There are definitely some really nice aspects to it - like the reading statistics and the shortcuts along the screen edge. But in terms of UI/UX-Design, I’d say there is a lot of room for improvement. Like how when you press the bottom part of the screen, the bottom menu comes up - which makes sense - but when you press the top part of the screen, the top menu and the bottom menu come up simultaneously on top of each other and you have to close each of them separately. Or how there are like four separate options menus, located in different submenus. The home screen is a file explorer rather than a simple library of ebooks as you’d find it on most e-readers. It’s all very “designed by programmers”. It doesn’t follow established design best-practices and wouldn’t be intuitive to the average e-reader user.

The game is beautiful, but unfortunately I don’t find it fun to play. Controls feel unresponsive and it’s often hard to tell what to interact with in puzzles. Combat is okay, but repetitive.

Jailbroke my Kindle Oasis about a year ago. Pretty happy with KOReader. The UI is janky TBH, but once you know where everything is and get used to it, it’s also quite powerful.

To me it seems like any kind of communication in multiplayer games has gotten less and less over the years. Used to be pretty common to just talk about random stuff with random people in games like CS, DayZ and even Overwatch years ago, but in recent years, I hardly remember any instances of people using voice chat at all, let alone using it to say anything positive. So if this is true and common for Arc Raiders, which I haven’t played, it seems to be a positive outlier. Also curious about other people’s experience.

Indeed, but it looks like a bit of both (store-bought 3d assets, AI generated 2D art).

Worth pointing out that this isn’t one of the regular Epic giveaways, but a giveaway by the developer. Terrible asset-flip full of AI-generated content from all I’ve read and seen.
