I Was Wrong About Grounded 

A problem with this game is that, no matter how many bugfixes they do, the game will always be bug-infested. The entire yard, in fact.

Grounded is a perfect example of how publishers and marketing deadlines can really hurt a good game. I am happy to see yhe developers still working on it for sure. I think this is the point that Larian Studios was trying to make when other developers got salty about Baldur's Gate being an anomaly when in reality it should be the standard to set the bar as high as possible, publishers be damned. A great product will sell itself, word of mouth has always been stronger than some flashy marketing campaign.

I thought Grounded was very well liked and was one of the more popular survival game. Its a great game imo and very polished compared to ALOT of other survival games

I love it when people admit they're wrong.

I was always hopeful they would add more content to the game but I wasn’t so sure because of the nature of the game. Then 1.2 came out and I was so happy and hearing that they’re working on more content gets me really excited for the future

I have been playing the game for 3 weeks now and I love it so much. I love how there is so much to do in the game and so much room for creativity. I can always jump on it and relax and play

Good video as usual, in terms of what you said about story changes to give a reason to play through again, possibly they could integrate a side story to search for the 5th kid which leads you to collecting clues from the optional bosses, and upper yard biome, leading you to the new area which once you clear it could unlock the 5th character, (along with other things like new bugs, boss, equipment, etc) from it.

Something I found out the other day, if you kill the edible insects/animals with a spicy weapon it will dropped cooked food save cooking on the spit.

Say I won't wait 10 hours for this vid

I still laugh about after 1000 hours he still said the game wasn’t worth $40

I remember this being in early access, it was fun, but now it seems so empty. The devs for grounded really suprised me and surpassed my expectations, honestly my new favorite survival game atm

I’m like a drug addict when it comes to anything 80s, I fell in love with this game and the art style as well, the graphics fit it so well and it’s just such a perfect game to me, I hate how they are leaving this behind when it still has so much fucking potentia!

I'm finally playing all the way through. I tried it a few times before but never kept to it. It's such a great game, honestly at this point if they put out a DLC and charged $40 for it I'd pay. They're amazing developers. When they do finish I can't wait to see what they do next. Their attention to detail is insane.

This games has so much potential, so much bugs to add in the future.

There is one thing harder than the Infected Broodmother. The Wasp Queen in Whoa mode :D

I discovered the game a month ago and fell in love with it immediately. Already have 100h in the game, out of all labs I checked only the one in the hedge, been to 6 biomes but completed only hedge fully, the rest is barely explored haha I build a lot, playing with one more person and it's great. Yeah, I see some bugs and issues with the game but it is not that bad. I have this fixation in games on getting to know full potential of everything I already have and only then explore something new. So happy to see the game is being developed still. Hopefully it will be for years and the studio can profit out of this gem, because it is totally worth it.

I just started to play Grounded. A friend from work was into it while I was throwing down on some Rust. It was on sale so I decided to give it a try and I can say that it is super fun. I can tell the content will be limited. But for now it has been worth the try.

i want the developers to continue the mystery about the fifth kid

i hope they do what rare is doing where the grounded devs can continue to update add new content and work on it for years and years and arent forced to stop production

I love this game my dad showed it to me when it first came out and i showed it to most of my friends and they liked it too so this game will always have a place in my heart. btw does anyone else remember the old broodmother that was just a wolf spider.

Omg another big update this year??? Insane. I didn't expect this at all either.

Glad you acknowledge that people who heavily play early access games and then cry about "no new content" isn't really a fair criticism. This game released in Sept. of 22, it's not even a year old. For those of us who just bought the game recently, on a Steam Sale, it's an awesome game. In addition - video games used to be you would buy a game, play it through, and then play a new game when you're done. Not every game has to be like WoW that you play new content for 3 decades. A game can be great even if you just play it through once as long as it's fun!

Im a new player and your 100% correct. This game was so well needed for me. A game that brings me true joy and happiness. Its just fun and exciting. A breath of fresh air for me

Yknow what. I agree. I think the fact that the devs are still working on it even after all the complaints show how they are dedicated to their game and want it to leave a good final impression. As to how they are allowed to still work on it, I think because the grounded team is a fairly small team (despite Obsidian being much larger), Mictosoft is allowing this small team to continue to work on the game. Also probably because big uodatss to grounded might encourage suckers to buy gamepass

Milton admits he was wrong? That’s a first you should play wobble dogs btw

Given the long dev time of the next update I am kind of hopeful that we get the laundry room or basement or something from the house. Really want to get a few more recycled human-sized objects in the game. Button/bottle cap shields, actual needle rapier, etc. Go full The Littles with it.

Me and my siblings love this game, the worst part about it was the bugs you can run into, but it’s still super engaging 😁

Love that you accepted that they were going farther than you accepted past those bug fixes and stuff these guys got some imagination because they're keep going after this adding more and more still after so much

cool didnt know shroud was playing grounded, guess i gotta binge watch that now XD

This is the longest ad for a Shroud survival game. 🧐

Just because you were wrong Milton doesn’t mean you weren’t on one hand right. I truly think youtube accounts like yours that create videos to talk and discuss things regarding the games future along with tips and how tos, really do help push the developers in a direction one way or another. This page alone has helped in so many ways make my grounded experience better and I thank you for that! Without RU-vidrs such as yourself idk if the envelop could be pushed as far as it has been. 😁

the new turrets are fun but not sure if they are too crazy tho

My brother and just finished the game yesterday. It was a lot of fun, the one thing I didnt like was the platforming elements, simply because I dont enjoy that type of game. Lets just say I hated the hedge and stump.

I hope you do get to go indoors. If this has been cooking for a minute, I could see a string of updates that each give you access to a new room. As for bugs, please give me infected aphids or a cicada event.

I’m on a 200 day world on grounded and I’m still not bored with game.

Might be a huge overhaul I hope if we go into the house we can find pest like roaches and stuff

Grounded is one of the most rounded complete survival games ever created. The ability to have your friends play this game just adds to its greatness. That said if I played it for 1000 hours I'd never look at a blade of grass again. It took me awhile to start playing it, but once I did it's definitely top 3 on my survival list

I've played about 150 hrs, completed the main 4 labs and after wards was kinda lost like... what do I do now?

I do hope they revamp the story with the content they are adding. I didnt have too much of an issue with it in its current form, but it'd be really cool to play a new interation of the story with additional content.

I dunno if it was fake but I heard they are adding earwigs and probably a diving bell spider jr

I really want a lizard boss

Respect Milton, hope to see more Grounded videos from you in future updates. Maybe even with Original Ryan

Its great game but the grind in the end to try different weapons is what kinda put me off to play other games. Havent killed wasp queen yet even i prepared. Each new patch changed some weapons or armor and i had to upgrade new ones again. Hopefully they dont make grind even worse with new big updates. I'm 99% sure they will bring new items i just wish PLEASE dont make grind worse if they are T4 items.

No your was kinda right tho every criticism used sad about the game shows how much you actually love it

I just wish the story line was bigger. 8 enjoyed the story soo much, one of the best in my opinion. However, I think it was way way to short…

Please help me how can I get mint late game I’ve farmed it all does any spawn consistently???

cover some remanant 2 and see if you like it. love your content man keep it up

Grounded did a great job. Im still playing but i do enjoy building.The quality of life and building got easier. Over 1000 day save. Im currently playing exoprimal.

Hopefully mounts coming soon 🤞🏾🤞🏾

Curious if you still have the four extra, bonus art pieces that they gave the players since beta? Many people have had them taken away or never received them when the game was officially released? Not sure why @ObsidianEnt lied about giving those out if they only gave it to a handful of players or why they removed them out of player's inventories.

What’s this for the big news vid

Congrats for admitting to being wrong

DAMN 1300 hours in grounded???????

You should try stranded deep

Cant wait for Switch version!

I’m so glad they didn’t abandon the game.

It looks likes someone’s been grounded for dissing a great game😅 I’d never say that grounded has any problems at all. Excellent as is… But always, the potential to build more onto this game would have everyone salivating with creative juices.

It's been a while since I played it

What’s next? Weather

Shroud love playing grounded

I just wish it was on ps

There gonna support grounded for 10 years I bet. Obsidian is hands down xbox's 1# studio everything they do has been killing it

That’s crazy

I'm going to be extremely honest here: I really enjoyed your Grounded older content. You were informative, to-the-point, and seemed to share a passion for the game as I--and the rest of your audience--did. But as time went on, that passion seemed to die down and I believe that you became hypercritical of the game. You slowly went from logical takes about the future state of the game, to downright hating on it with a (maybe indirect) sense of hostility. As a result, your newer content had a different feeling; always felt negative, hypercritical, and you just seemed to radiate with such a pessimistic and almost brazenness that made me dislike you. And as a previous frequent viewer of your content, watching you slowly go from giving constructive feedback to eventually just hating on the smallest of small issues was really really upsetting to me. The game itself already has a small community, and you began to use the numbers you amassed *from this game* to eventually turn a portion of the community against it. Whether or not you or anyone reading this agrees with my points, I think that Grounded gets more hate than it deserves. But seeing this pop-up in my feed was a surprise, I am glad to see that you proved MY assumptions about you wrong too with this video. You gained back my respect and I could tell that you made this video with genuineness, and was not just trying to tell people what they wanted to hear. At the end of the day, I think we both have something to learn from this experience and I hope that my honesty will help you shape your future content as well. I do not despise you and never did, I just disliked the message you were putting out for possible newcomers or enjoyers of the game. Thank you. Also, I want to let it be known that I believe some of the points you made were extremely valid and I am not trying to disagree with you just to disagree, but I wish that you brought these issues up with a positive or constructive demeanor.

hey it is better to admit your wrong when a game you have been harping on and begging to be better does get better then to be right.

Hey Milton, I love your vids on grounded and other games! Thanks for admititing you were wrong, a lot of YTbers don't do that and this just makes me have more respect for you and more love for your content :)

Uh did i miss smt?

Milton got some character development

I would really love the house with the kitchen and the living room because you can see that in the beginning

Grounded for life!! 😎

This is the best apology vid of 2023 and it isn’t even one

Whats the point of new content when the games already finished and the storys complete. Unless theyre going to revamp the awful upper yard and rushed story ending. Any content they release is just optional filler.

Grounded is simply the best game!

I'm so glad they are going for the No Man's Sky redemption route, and even more glad the studio's brass allowed obsidian to do it.

The lord has returned

I mean to be fair while you were wrong about how they would handle the game, that's where you being wrong ended, the things about all your criticisms and gripes with the game at the end of the day are just opinionated. Anyone who's played a single game for a long time will always have more to criticize the game on, and it's not out of a place of malice or hatred, it's out of passion.

do you want to play grounded

The game is not the worst, not the best either. It is sketchy at best, you weren't wrong, i put those hours, my videos reflect it. But the game has immersion breakers, bugs on top of bugs and system and engine issues. The nostalgia effect of "honey i shrunk the kids" is gonna keep bringing ppl in, and from a marketing perspective it can only go up in numbers if they keep it up to date and that is not a difficult thing. You weren't wrong overall, you just did not understand the greed effect! Peace, cya in the next one brother!

ASMONGOLD

This games controls are so bad

Hardly anyone is playing grounded anymore. They refuse to fix the issues in the game still. Small team that just can't figure out how to make a good game work

The real ones remember the pain of losing your worlds when they came out of beta🥹
