    I won't buy it at this price point but I'll definitely consider it in the future.

      Conan Exiles

      Playing offline (not paying for PS+, just ainโ€™t happening), man this game has incredible, staggering depth. Itโ€™s got a host of issues but in many ways itโ€™s better than any game Iโ€™ve ever played.

      About my only complaint is there should be roaming/traveling NPCs/animals. Feels kinda lame that you always have to find your own action, it never comes to you. Also the sound effects (chopping wood, etc.) donโ€™t trigger kind of a lot. So thatโ€™s pretty annoying too.

      But literally thatโ€™s, like, it.

      It felt a bit janky/wonky for the first couple hours (and the AI could definitely use a ton of work) but after sinking my teeth in and figuring some stuff out, almost nothing about it bothers me. YMMV if youโ€™ve already played a bunch of games in this genre but Iโ€™m friggin blown away. Itโ€™s everything I thoughtโ€™d be and more.
      Just one manโ€™s opinion.
      I donโ€™t actually care about any of this.

          Is that a DLC?

            Nope. The Purge was added in at launch. Basically after a given amount of time, I do not have an answer to how long or why, an army of up to 3 waves of different monsters and NPC's will attack your base(s). You can try to track down the Commander and end the Purge early but I have never been able to do so.

            This applies to offline single play as well. So unlike other games in this genre, you have to build with defense in mind even offline.

              Thanks! I do remember reading about this. I want to play this game but I have too many games to finish. Trying to get through them!


              Developers are still updating this one all the time, right?

                Yup. Patch should be out this week for PC. Soon for consoles. Rumors of DLC soon as well.

                  Yeah Iโ€™ve heard about it, but not quite the same from what I gather. Iโ€™m talking about like how now (just started a new character) Iโ€™ve been building a small house in the jungle for a couple days; itโ€™d be nice to get harassed by a roaming panther or something, or luck into a small herd of antelope finding its way into my neck of the woods. That kind of thing.

                  Maybe AI pathfinding/roaming is more complicated than I imagine else itโ€™d already be there, I dunno. Not really a big deal just something Iโ€™d like to see.
                  Just one manโ€™s opinion.
                  I donโ€™t actually care about any of this.

                      Can get it even lower on Green Man Gaming with the code Disco25.

                          So my friends and I have been binging on this, we've got like 40 hours played in the last week and a half.

                          Continuing the PC price conversation, the reason we got it is because it's part of the Humble Bundle. $12 gets you Exiles and 2 other games.

                          Referral link (just gives me $8 credit): https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly?refc=blYIFY
                          Non-referral link: https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly

                          We're on our 3rd base and are around level 35. Game has been a lot of fun. Can see maybe tripling the advancement/gathering/etc and having a lot of fun at a LAN with it.

                                This game is free on PSN right now.
                                Downloaded and will try tonight.

                                Anyone still playing? Is it still worth the time?
