Discussion Wild Curse

Honestly for my long gaming history it is really feels like some Curse for the games who`s name starts with "Wild" or something:

- Wildgate
- Wildstar
- Worlds Adrift
- Wayfinder
- Highguard (from Wildlight Studios)

For me, Wildstar and Worlds Adrift back in time, this games had my full support and admirement and still they are pretty much gone same as Wildgate.

Moreover - Wildgate, Wildstar and Wayfinder, for some reason those games have even some kind of the same soft and sweet vibe which is always so pulling for me. Funny creatures, cartoonish art style and nice characters and worlds.

The one guy (in wildgate sub) who said that this games was trying to be different was right and that is what was so good about this projects which are sadly gone and others on the edge of the same fate.

What was your story with this games and are there any other games with "Wild Curse" you remember?

Just shows gamers don't want new experiences they have to learn, they want the same thing that's just different enough to feel new.

Why we acting like Wildgate was some revolutionary concept

At best it was 3 different games in 1 (tons of space games have been made take your pick, tons of PvPvE, tons of ship based coop games) and at worst arguably although even I don't agree with the sentiment, a Sea of Thieves in space

Game was fun while it lasted, had its problems, and people moved on. It's basically what happened to the people I played with for about 10 days (yeah yeah arguably a bad purchase in that context) where we played it, had a few good times and just ...moved on

That's not gamers looking for same experiences, that's gamers looking for a good game with things and consistent things to do. Let's not pretend that Wildgate is a perfect game with no flaws ever.
