About This Game The Isle: A World Designed to Kill YouThe Isle is intended to be a gritty, open-world survival horror game. Explore vast landscapes of dense forest and open plains, traverse treacherous mountains and wade through dark swamps where horrors lurk. Hidden within are ruins that hold insight as to what came before. Through it all, keep in mind there is only one goal: survive. There is little in the way of hand holding or ulterior precepts to alter play styles or purpose. It's kill or be killed. In the end, the only one you can trust is yourself. Over the course of development the islands and their inhabitants will radically change, ever-evolving as players themselves learn how to flourish and thrive. Your mistakes will be punished. Expect no survivors.Massive Prehistoric MultiplayerBecome the beast within. When joining The Isle, you can play as one of dozens of unique creatures, from tiny darting herbivores like Dryosaurus to blood-thirsty giants such as T. Rex or Allosaurus (with many more still to come!) As a dinosaur, you'll be the epitome of majestic, cunning and ferocious. Use your natural abilities and senses to stay off the menu and grow into a stronger, more capable creature.Engage with a living prehistoric ecosystem as you become either predator or prey on servers featuring up to 100+ players, all of them as hungry and dangerous as you. Form packs/herds, create nests, defend your offspring, hunt, and claim territory. A single mistake can spell your demise.Survival or Sandbox?The Isle's core game mode is Survival, a tense and difficult experience where you need to grow fast or die young. Dinosaurs in Survival mode progress through several life stages, starting out small and vulnerable. Use your scent ability, night vision and wits to survive long enough to grow, becoming more powerful and unlock new abilities such as nesting. Because of the time needed to develop a full character life cycle, not every creature is or will be playable in Survival, though more will be added in future updates. However, sometimes you don't want to struggle to survive, or you don't have the time to go through a dinosaur's whole life story. And that's okay. For players who want a less intense experience, Sandbox mode lets you play an expanded roster of dinosaurs (and soon humans!). You can jump right in as an adult super predator or a peaceful giant, with no major penalties or consequences from dying. We won't judge.A Global Community StoryThe Isle features a narrative told strictly through the environment, achievable only through immense cooperation among players. Are you stranded? Can you just leave? What is AE? How did the dinosaurs get here? What is the distant call that pierces the night? It will take the entire community to answer these mysteries and unravel the purpose to their being on The Isle, and each discovery will directly affect the future of the game's storyline.Future Development GoalsWe realize that there is a long road ahead, and a lot of work to be done to turn this into the game we want it to be. Throughout development, we will be adding a lot more to The Isle and incorporating user feedback in how we evolve the experience. Some of our planned features include:Playable aquatic and aerial creaturesEven more playable dinosaurs with complete life cyclesTwo new playable factions: modern humans & the indigenousEvolve into advanced "strain" versions of certain dinosaursRealistic dinosaur AI that uses complex behavioursAdditional world biome types such as thick junglesDynamic aerial drop-in spawn systemGlobal in-game world questLocalization of all in-game menus & textBetter accessibility & customization optionsSteam Achievements, Trading Cards, EmotesMod support using Steam WorkshopAll that and more are on our radar going forward. We started with a plan of just a mere handful of playable carnivores, but based on player demand we expanded our scope, increased that number greatly and introduced herbivorous dinosaurs as well. Listening to our community has been instrumental in guiding our process and helped to correct our mistakes, and we hope that together we can transform The Isle into the ultimate dinosaur game. --AE Core TX Received----End Promotional Protocol----SiGnaL InTeRrUpt---tHEeNdISnevErTheENDisNeVeRtHeEnDIsNev- a09c17d780 Title: The IsleGenre: Action, Adventure, Indie, Massively Multiplayer, Simulation, Early AccessDeveloper:Afterthought LLCPublisher:Afterthought LLCRelease Date: 1 Dec, 2015 The Isle Download Xp Official server admins play favorites with streamers. I was in a Mia herd when an Allo ambushed us in the night. We fought back instead of running away and soon after an admin blasted out a server announcement for us to leave the Allo alone. WHAT? We checked the official Discord and found out we were being accused by the Allo that we were stream sniping. Amazing! So if you\u2019re defending yourself against a streamer be prepared for bull**** accusations if you simply don\u2019t roll over and die. My assumption is that the streamer's ego was getting hurt due to a bunch of Mias not taking it up the *** and actually fighting back. The sad part is that the admins sided with the streamer without evidence so they eventually walked away scot-free.. The premise of this multiplayer game is very interesting. You get to play as one of the sixteen dinosaurs and you get to choose between herbivores and carnivores.The goal of this game is plain and simple - you need to survive. You start as a small, juvenile dinosaur that needs to eat and drink water, and be wary of bigger dinosaurs who see you as a snack. With time, you grow bigger and bigger, until you reach full adulthood. Depending on the dinosaur you've picked to play, the gameplay can now change from being a prey to a hunter.If the description above doesn't sound like something that would interest you - don't bother buying this game as it offers nothing more than that basic gameplay.The game has been released in 2015 and since then developers didn't bother to add even half of the promised content to this game. And yes, it is still in early access. The game was supposed to get playable humans and a hybrid between humans and dinosaurs. But it seems like developers are more focused on "fixing" their code and being rude towards their player base, rather than actually developing the game.I had to refund this game because of the latest decision from the developers - which was to shut off Family Sharing services. Without this, you can't have multiple dinosaurs on a server. So if you're playing one dinosaur, and you want to switch to something else - you need to literally kill yourself. And growing a new dinosaur to a full adulthood takes up to hours. Not mentioning while you're waiting to grow - there is a big chance that you end up being someone else's snack, and you have to start your growing process all over again.The worst part about that change, was that it was never officially announced, and it was introduced without any warnings. It made the player base angry, to which the developers reacted with hate and aggression. I've seen the official Isle staff members calling people "stupid" and telling "you'll never become a game developer" to young, aspiring creators.And that is something that I not only see as very unprofessional, but also as very childish and rude. I don't want to support these people any more. If they don't respect me as their player, I won't respect them either.That is why I'm giving this game a negative review. As I mentioned before - the premise is really good and it's fun to play with your friends. However, the developers are ruining this experiences for their players, as hard as they can.. Great idea for a game, used to like it back in the day, haven't played it for a about a year though maybe 2?First off the main issue is the game is riddled with toxic players of every variety. Groups of herbivores will gather and go out of their way to kill off carnivores, mods abuse their power, and players randomly kill each other for no reason at all. playing the game can even be found to be annoying to other players, and they'll kill you for it...and that's only in sandbox where dying may be inconsequential, but if you spawn too far away, or in a larger map, be prepared to spend the next 10 minutes trying to find literally anything...and that's if your leg doesn't break on the way, because that's another hour. and to top it off, these serversIn survival its a totally different story, you spend days making careful progress, working hard and struggling not only to survive but to evolve and work your way up the food change only to get picked off at another player (or players) whim. it's soul crushing to know it all meant nothing. I avoided this mode like the plague because it was overly competitive but i have a few friends who've gone in.lastly, to continue with mods and admins, they like to randomly kick and ban people for no reason and pretend nothing happened...even after the third time. getting killed off is fine with them but if you fight back you're kicked, and there really isn't a rule they won't break.if you don't believe me go ahead. I bought this game to try relaxing and hanging out with other dinosaur fans, not bicker and fight with mods who have no idea what they're doing.. Its a good game and get very addictive if you like survival games with dinos.BUT the devs are the worst ive seen so far in a game that reliant on his community .. its very community unfriendly and you can wait Ages for new updates and content. I would recomment to go on official isle discord for informations and problems if you have it with that game but the devs and the admins there handle it very unprofessional and like they want, means alot of Banns and Drama for nothing. Dont even try to ask in Discord "Punchpacket" ( one of the Devs.) for any suggest he will may insult you.I played this game alot since 1 day it cames out but the way the devs handle there servers and the community bothers me, very unfriendly and unprofessional and ruins after all the time the game for me. Lets see if new content come out ... wait another half year.. Was a nice game untill family sharing was deactivated. Really amazing.Besides all the frustation coming up when you will start the game today and realize, that your beloved dinosaurs are gone the game has changed dramatically. it became a game where you have to sacrifice your hard earned dinosaur in wich you spent several hours just to play with your friends that are using different dinosaurs. a quote like "hey man, what are you playing? Dilo? Okay, i'll make me one aswell" will now be followed by "but give me a second, i just need to throw my rex down the cliff".I hope they change it back. I loved to play this game.-------------------War nen gutes Spiel. Aber jetzt haben die Entwickler das Family Sharing unterbunden. Absolut genialer Bockmist. Mal von dem Frust der Spieler abgesehen, heute so zu kommen und zu realisieren, dass mehrere Dinos Geschichte sind weil die Accounts deaktiviert wurden...Das Spiel wurde damit zu ner Art "Ja, also wenn du jetzt mit all deinen Freunden spielen willst, musst du erst deinen mehrst\u00fcndig erarbeiteten Dino in die Tonne klatschen und noch mal viele Stunden afk am T\u00fcmpel warten.". When I brought the game I read about bad reviews because of the Devs and after over a month of playing and being part of the official The Isle discord i can absolutely confirm that this is true.The game is so much fun, but sadly the Devs are the worst Ive ever seen when it comes to handling the official community. Certain groups are "the absolut worst addition to the community" without distinguishing in any way, yes, they are talking about people playing and paying for the game. Some of them never did anything wrong, just like to play together and following the rules and are handled like criminals like they report someone breaking the rules and get banned as well, when they start to question that the ones reported get unbanned just to mess with those people and are in general blamed for absolutely eveything going wrong on the server up to direct insultes by the developers themselves, telling people to "f*** off" if they want to talk about something and stuff like that. I actually cant believe this. Sorry, but thats not something I can recommend in a peaceful mind. They may have made good work but you cant people treat like that. Its not okay.. Really good game! You did a pretty good job on it. AI is perfect. Roars: Epic, Models. Amazing and mapping. Fantastic. Idc if it isnt finished, you did a pretty good job so far!. Pros: - Great Graphics - Never ending expansions (Maps, Dinos, Updates, Fixes,) - Smooth mechanics and animations - For everyone in general (If you like survival and dinosaurs)- Massive player-base - Variety of herbivores and carnivores to choose from\/ Color Variants- Established rules within servers*Cons: - Hard to survive when new (Recommend playing with a friend or another player)- Takes lots of time to grow your dinosaur (the bigger dino, the longer it takes)- Players can be toxic and harass others. (Least concern)- Established Rules within servers*- Can be buggy sometimes, maybe a lotOverall: I enjoy this game a lot, honestly. It does get irritating when you start fresh and you keep dying to bigger dinos\/starve or dehydrate to death, but there is a solution to almost everything. Sniffing in the game allows you to locate food, water, and track other dinosaurs. Maps help a lot if you are unfamiliar with where you are, and try to learn more as you go on. Try new dinos if you get bored. I highly recommend you play with a friend or someone who has some experience in this game. I would recommend playing as a Utah Raptor at first. Yet this is a game you need to apply time and effort into in order to be successful in the game. Happy hunting. ---TRUST NOBODY---. Can be fun if you have alot of time on your hands. But the gameplay can get pretty boring fast, it is alot of waiting and i mean alot of waitingThere is alot of missing featurs as well and the Dev team seems to focus on the wrong thing to fix. the game has potetional but if it's gonna take as long as day z to be finnished then i feel like they are focusing on the entrily wrong. the dev team needs to focus on one thing at the time instead of focusing of all the things.. After playing this game for a while, I feel it's time for a review.The most I can say for this game is that I cannot wait to come back and play it in 2-3 years because at the rate its been developed that's when it we be playable. For starters, you have to dedicate 2 hours minimum just to play a dino to full growth, now there are sandboxes where you can play adults, but lets be real, no one really plays those. (Sorry to the 10 servers with 100 players total out of all) Though you can always find a server with 100+ players on survival typically 150-200 is best in my opinion. The effort you put into your Dino sadly is usually ended with one player randomly getting you with cheese hit boxes or they can rotate faster than you, and ya die. If you really feel like buying this game, I don't want to turn you off of it, just be prepared for 2-3 more years of development, after that we probably will have a 2-3 year beta. This game was released 4 years ago with a lot of progress, but no substance.
