why is it so hard to get friends to play this game?

Postby Lemodable » Tue May 14, 2013 7:08 pm

:x is it the complex crafting system? the clunky controls? Ppl can't use lag as an excuse because that's gone now.. sort of. I already lost one friend to a " rage quit" after an encounter with ants :roll: . And can't seem to get anyone else to give it a real try. Anybody else have this problem? Maybe ppl that play HnH are just of a special stock thats hard to find these days

This is exactly how everyone I introduce to it react. They look at it and say "That looks booring, what's the goal?".
I did have a friend who kind of got into it but quit partially because of the lag. Nowadays he just says he doesn't bother with it.

Most people that I show it too just take one look at the graphics and ui, then try to want around and get stuck on a chest, and say 'that looks gay... hey want to play some cod'

yea that does have alot to do with it, ppl dont even give it a chance. but one would think with all the popularity of indie games now like Terraria there would be more appreciation for the old pixel art

but yea can be boring... so the type of person that plays just has to be ocd and have a strong appreciation of pixel art lol

I only ever got 2 of my real life friends to play this with me, but that was during the time in 2012 where I basically quit after realizing I had a life.
