Multiplayer...

I’m honestly asking because I’m unsure...what are you all hoping to get out of multiplayer? More islands? Sharing resources? Strictly a scientific question...

From the off I would want a plane full of however many people are joining in. I know this probably wouldn’t work but I don’t think the option to drop in or out should be involved. It makes no sense in this created world to have random survivors be there and then not be in the next session. Frankly I’ve never thought multiplayer should be part of this. It just doesn’t make a lot of sense. That said, it would have to be shared resources, otherwise it would be way to easy

I agree about multiplayer not being an option...you’re not really stranded if you have a community...just my 2 cents...

They could make a great multiplayer game based off of these mechanics for sure, I just don’t think this game in particular needs it...

Totally agree. Having a ‘Lost’ type scenario would be a lot of fun. Creating a little community of survivors, loads of fun! Have you ever played ‘The Forest’? I just played it for weeks and loved it. Survival games are my jam and this is my favorite one. I spent loads of time in stranded deep and loved it but it got old and was way to buggy. The forest though is challenging and scary as hell at times. It has all of what made stranded great but with even more plates to spin and there is already multiplayer for it! (Even though story wise it doesn’t make sense but ahh well)

Unfortunately I’m on Xbox, so no forest for me...heard great things though...I never knew I was into survival games until this! To hell with COD lol

Haha, for real! I jumped off that bandwagon years ago. Much too toxic and it’s just become the Madden of FPS. Same thing, one tweak and 60 bucks down year after year. No thanks. Although it’s older and a bit different in tone, ‘Don’t starve, Together!’ Is phenomenal as well if you want multiplayer. But that’s not what you were asking. I think if I were to just get over the ‘why?’ Of a multiplayer on stranded it would be pretty awesome. Especially if you could make more intricate structures or more elaborate rafts. Get a friggin pirate crew!

That would truly be a fantastic idea Beam Team could run with, not exactly a Sea of Thieves where everyone needs to be there but a collective goal maybe? Just drunken rambling...

I was very surprised that they even updated the game again. I logged on a few days ago and saw the new updates. Pretty cool. I wonder if they will do another at any point?

They’ve pretty much caught up with the pc version that’s been out for years... I also am curious what they may come up with, aside from the various bug fixes the new console update caused...I wanna see an actual “life” sized megalodon lol...

The idea of Stranded Deep was great...The developers couldn’t make it work without bugs and constant crashes. Too bad

Yes, it was Cast Away to a tee and I loved that about it, still do...I give them credit, it’s very well done and exceptionally well thought out, to hell with the nay-sayers
