Why does it end so soon? Disappointed.
Im about 7 million years into the game, and its become clear from the game progression that we arent actually going to evolve anywhere near to a human by the end of the game.
I was kind of hoping that the endgame would involve a significant upstep in tech, i.e being able to actually knapp proper, better stone hand axes and such, or being able to knapp points to fix to a stick to make an obsidian pointed spear, or being able to make bows or even throw spears, or even being able to make fire or build huts or grow plants by the end of the game and its become clear none of that will happen which has left me a bit disappointed. The fact that a sharp stick is the best weapon all the way through the game is kinda silly
I was under the impression the game would cover the transition from ape to hominin to human but it just goes from ape to hominin. This feels like a massive miss to me - the game is great, i love how it forces you to play to your strengths in the begining, use the trees etc and love how it makes you change your gameplay as you move into new areas and develop new skills. And i love how it almost feels like several different games in one as you move from jungle animal to savannah hunter.
But it just feels so cut short, im not even finished yet and i have no desire to go to 10mil because it seems i barely have anything left to unlock. I feel like there should be a final, tribal stage where you can finally have bigger groups (not being able to have more than 12 apes is a terrible decision. Reward me for succeding by allowing my tribe to grow pls) and can build huts and actually make a little village
Whats your guys opinion on this? Do you think the game feels complete? I have enjoyed the process very much but feel a bit like ive had the wind sucked out from under me by the endgame because none of the things i was looking forward to are apparently in the game.
Also whats the point of the throw command? It doesnt seem useful for anything at all. Throwing rocks doesnt even seem to scare animals let alone hurt them. And throwing spears is not a thing. Just seems like a pointless option
Also, what is the point in stick barriers other than aesthetics?
