Worst NFT Game Ever? | Decentraland Gameplay and Review

Ойындар

Yeah.... this one should speak for itself. Episode 3 and we're just finally getting to a game that we can actually launch and play. I wish we couldn't. This video features my first impressions and a full review of one of the largest and most popular Metaverses, Decentraland. In 2022, the term "Metaverse" seems to be thrown around constantly, with even places like Wal-Mart and The UPS Store having shops open within the metaverse. But... what is The Metaverse? What does it look like? Can I play it today?
I hope to answer all of those questions in more, in today's episode of "Worst Crypto Game Ever?". We take a deep dive into the $1B crypto metaverse of Decentraland and review it from the perspective of a gamer. Gamers are known to be a rather picky bunch, especially when it comes to games that include trendy things like Crypto and NFTs, so it's no surprise that there has been a ton of controversy surrounding Decentraland so far.
But with the game's poor performance, confusing interface, and overall poor gameplay, Decentraland stands in 2022 as more of a black sheep in the metaverse industry, with player counts hardly reaching over 200 on even the busiest days. How much longer will Decentraland be around, and will the players ever manage to sell the land that they purchased in 2021, hoping to double their money?
With players still trying to sell land at minimum prices over $1000, there is little volume in this Metaverse's economy, since it is very rare for new people to buy into Decentraland. Additionally, all of the initial plots sold out in the first 30 seconds of the game's first launch, so the land market is completely controlled by the players at this point. The result is the current state of Decentraland, a game with a stagnant economy, a declining playercount, and an overall embarrassing presentation. Buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

    @@elitereptilian200You don't have to buy a mining GPU to get a good deal. Since most people don't give a shit what a card was used for, people with gaming cards have to price match to actually sell their card. and Actually Mining GPUs are usually in better condition. The most obvious reason is that miners literally have a financial incentive to keep them in good shape. So they do. The next reason is that they have probably been running in more ideal conditions than gaming GPUs. Most people use cases with shitty airflow, and stock voltage which is bad for a card. where as with mining setups, they are usually ran out in the open with tons of box fans circulating air in a climate controlled room to keep them cooler, and they are undervolted to maximize performance and lifespan. And the last major, and most important reason is that being under load is better for the GPUs longevity itself. While being on all the time can be bad for the bearing in the fans, that is a relatively easy fix if they do fail. But a GPU gets worn down much in the same way a spring or a battery does. It's the being on load and off of load over and over that does the damage, not just being under load. There is an unwarranted stigma around mining GPUs, when you can get crazy good deals on them if you are willing to just crack them open and reapply thermal paste as that's the most repairing they usually need.

    A Tribune of the Plebs would actually massively improve this due to one of the unofficial, but historically verifiable, powers of "the crowd" in Roman politics. If a large crowd of commoners (Plebians) assembled outside the home of an important political figure, broke in, and ripped him limb from limb, the Roman state did nothing. No investigations of instigators (unless the crowd was suspected to have been created by a fellow Patrician). No executions of random members of the crowd to "send a message." They just let it happen and let everyone off. They did this because they figured anyone who got enough people angry at him to form a mob, overwhelm any posted guards on his villa, and kill him, had probably done something to deserve it. Worse, he had done it in a way which was visible to the Plebians. The mob was basically seen as the magistrate in a case against him, with a lawful sentence of death for the finding of guilt. This would massively improve the Decentraland experience. If a 75% vote of all users (for instance, numbers could be changed) could "execute" a massive whale, forcing them to return all their assets and blocking their wallet from the site permanently, their activities would be more constrained and they would need to vote in ways that most of the community didn't hate.

It was rampant in axiinfinity, where people would buy, sell, trade axis, give them to people who couldn't afford them, and make them play and reap a portion of the profit to get back the principal they spent on giving the players their first teams. Also, absolutely heinous that to play poker, you had to buy a $250 jacket in order to get crypto by playing "free" poker, ensuring the creator of the game gets his cut no matter how well or badly you do. And I doubt 99% of the players ever made it back.

    It’s crazy how many people think they can just make their own Roblox. VRChat (and maybe Rec Room or Fortnite Creative, but I haven’t really touched those so idk) is the only one I’ve ever seen manage to do it and even then they have a big enough difference that you could easily consider it a completely different thing

    As a player of both Roblox and Second Life, this seems hilariously bad. Over my 5+ years on Roblox, I've seen that even some of the worst games on the platform have better performance and playability (Prison Life, Adopt me, Etc.). Over my 2+ years of being on Second Life, I've seen the potential and creativeness of the community, from a game that hasn't changed alot since its inception in 2003, and somehow even the worst launchers have better performance than what Decentraland offers, despite launchers basically being browsers with extra features and polish.

    Man when I first saw what the Metaverse was I joked that it was just a shittier second life without furries, and the more I see of the game the more that rings true. So many of the issues with the game are also present in Second Life, a game that came out in -2003- and, apparently, can somehow run better than Decentraland even when you've got a dozen people with the most unoptimized, absurdly high poly count avatars you've ever seen. The way plots are given out, how they can be blocked off, even people's attempts to create actual games using a horribly ill-fitting engine and having to brute force a bunch of stuff with the base engine's barebones features. I've seen every single one of those games, down to the grind-and-earn mechanics, done way way better in Second Life, too.

    @@jauwn If everything goes well people will keep building games and experiences, learning from previous mistakes. The client will keep improving and new clients will pop (desktop, VR, retro 2D). Some entry barriers will be lowered, for example no needing land to build (Decentraland Worlds). At some point the creator tools will be good enough to attract more devs, and the entry barriers low enough to catch more users. Being an open source project may help to make it more resilient than closed projects. I think everything you said was on point, and many of the issues are regular food for discussions on DCL Discord and Forum. But is nice to have an outsider view.

Decentraland Worlds launched allowing to host scenes just by owning a DCL name, or by running a server. And a new Software Developers Kit was released (SDK7) alongside a GameJam. Userbase is still low, but stable at 3700 average daily users. Open Source is clearly the strong side, with people contributing features and building tools for the ecosystem. No sign of slowing down in the building side.

    Decentraland was already by necessity going to be garbage. The very idea that land ownership is a thing and that the land is the real estate of the game means that every game blocks every other game, gives hard limits to each game's size, so even if Decentraland devs were competent (which they are not, they're less competent than first time solo devs on steam) these limits alone would make good games impossible. Even the games that utilize teleporters for their maps are hilariously awful. The very visible box they're in gives the whole "game" less of an immersion factor than a cheap ride at a local fair, and the area limits for the portals constrain them to the point of uselessness. You cannot make anything good in something like this, even if you wanted to put effort in. And then the "you need X nft to play" on top for some of them.
