Xsypn Is Boring.

People who wait for a sandbox game to deliver them meaning are waiting on a train that won't come. Sandbox games give you the tools to create your own meaning and goals within the game.

While I agree with this in theory, and I do enjoy Xsyon for what it is, lets not twist the truth here. Saying Xsyon is empty of content is calling a spade a spade. There is no denying the game needs some updated/new systems and mechanics to fill this void. Is EvE not a sandbox? EvE is FILLED with content. Obviously it has been in development far longer than Xsyon, but the point still stands.

You can put a jungle gym in a sandbox and it is still a sandbox. PLEASE GIVE US SOME MONKEY BARS OR SOMETHING.

To clarify, I'm not arguing against the adding of new system, skills, or content. I'm merely pointing out that at some point, players will have to create their own meaning. Right now, some of us are able to do it with what's currently available.

Sounds like Bad as Can should be renamed to Bad as Cannot.

Not every tribe is a 200-member circus act and wants to play 'who can dig up the most bottle caps in one hour.'

Nobody's perfect.

It says all over the place that Prelude is a basic version of the game just to get people in and get settlements set up. I don't know how people are already maxing things, I'm in game quite a bit but I still don't have very high crafting skills or anything. But i'm also not sitting just focusing on one thing, grinding away to get to the top asap, there's plenty of time to get there.

They don't read. Give up on them. I'll do some forum bitch slapping and see if we can shut them up for a while.

Hey guys let's have a competition in-game to see who is the best gladiato -- oh wait...

Yet we are using up our game time for beta, why? If the game is so great why are we complaining? Yes the game has potential, but many others did as well and they went down the shitter.

Every sandbox is boring when you have no imagination.

Biggest cop-out in the history of sandbox gaming.
