Brighter Shores - Are the rooms TOO SMALL?
I’ve been covering Brighter Shores for several months now, and after the last video the audience was pretty equally divided. Those people who are fans of OSRS and Runescape are excited for the design and layout of the room-to-room movement that Brighter Shores will utilize, and then in the other camp are people who think this design is going to create rooms that are too small. I think after today’s video people who think the rooms are too small are going to give Brighter Shores a pass, and that is ok. From my Helldivers 2 research the CEO of Arrowhead said “a game for everyone is a game for noone” and that is spot on. Every game has a niche and this room-to-room design is the niche of Brighter Shores.
So after seeing the new content what camp are you in? The camp of people who are going to play, or the camp of people who are going to take a pass.
Oh, and if you are still reading the description to this point, go ahead and subscribe to the channel and like the video for your Brighter Shores and other video game updates.
If you are looking for more information on Brighter Shores, I will be updating this webpage paradoxgaming.net/brightershores as we get more information.

Mobile Gaming - Why it works & Why Critics Hate It

Mobile gaming is an absolutely massive industry representing approximately 49% of all video game revenue in 2023 to a share of 90.5 billion dollars.

It has been a few weeks since I did my first video on Brighter Shores, the game people are affectionately calling Runescape 4.

    If you want a game that's not fraud, it shouldn't be service based at all. any service based game locked to their servers regardless of it's free or not should just be illegal. software as a serivce is fraud.

    I'm looking forward to trying it but the room-to-room style has got me very put-off. It just doesn't look right or feel right. I've always like open worlds. I can't understand why Andrew didn't do an open world. I think the game would be much more popular if it was. It feels like that is the only thing people have a problem with. And of course Andrew would have known that spending 10 years making the game, sure he's done he's research. I just hope there's something we're missing that's going to put it all together, although I can't see what that is. I know this isn't helpful. I just wish it was open world and it seems like 90% of the people that are talking about this game feel the same way. even if the rooms weren't blacked out its truly not an open world. you are kind of forced to take certain paths. At least light up all areas/rooms and give us the illusion that we are in an open world. Like I said he knows what he's doing and I can't see why he chose this.

    • @ParadoxGamingNetwork

      He choose this because he's taking us back to Table-Top style games which have a grid system and a path. I do agree 90% or more of people are talking about this, but I think many of them will be ok with it once they play it. I have a feeling this is something that shows very poorly but may in fact play very well. We just have to wait and see.

At best I'll take the 'I will believe it when I believe it' stance. I would still like to see a RvR game like DAoC was.
