I played all this time because I love Dune and I hoped it would be fun after I put the time in to build my character and try to learn the game.
The combat is too hard and inconsistent. The controls and inputs cause serious stress, sometimes you won't draw the weapon you selected, sometimes you don't move or attack the way you meant to, and you get stuck on the terrain, and your skills don't work for unknown reasons.
Shields should be basically invincible against normal ranged attacks. They aren't. Or are they? No. Sometimes.
NPCs will destroy your shields by simply shooting you with normal rifles. If you unload a minigun at them, their shields will eat it all and they will stab you to death in two hits.
Parrying is extremely difficult because the timing is so small and the time between the attacks start up frame and when it hits you is so small. Literally shorter than in elden ring. Imagine trying that in PVP with ping. UNLESS you use the swordmaster abilities that include a parry stance for a much longer window as you wait for an attack.
Also, if you miss that first parry, you are stunned and can't try to parry any more of the following attacks.
You can only dash out of stuns. This takes about half your stamina, so if you already did it once or attacked a few times, you will not have any stamina to escape. If you run out of stamina, you are basically dead. You might not think this in the early game, but in the northern zones they will kill you in only two hits, so yes you are dead long before you can break out of the stun lock.
In a one on one fight this can work in your favor, it might look cool to flawlessly stagger and then execute a shielded enemy. As soon as you have more than two enemies attacking or cornering you, it's all over.
Leveling up does not increase your base stats or attack power. You can take a few passives that will give you up to 15% more damage with a certain type of weapon, but that really just becomes a necessary baseline, not really a unique RPG choice that separates your character from others.
The balance between different class abilities just makes no sense. The knee charge can level up to 3, dealing insanely high damage with a very short cooldown. Many other abilities, even within the same class, don't level up at all, and just seem useless or strange by comparison. Why would you use the sword strike for 50 damage and a 20 second cooldown, when you can knee charge for 325 damage with a 10 second cooldown? You shouldn't. Ever. The ability balances are just all over the place like this.
The game becomes insanely hard and heavily outscales your unchanging stats.
Then you realize everything is about gear and items, which constantly break.
My suspensor that is needed to avoid falling damage literally broke mid fall.
You can't even repair your gear at all until you heavily invest in gaining a lot of resources to build a repair station, and it is literally gated behind hours of story progression. Even if you get the repair station, that's at your base, that will be miles away from you most of the time.
I don't think I would have ever reached the end of the story or completed any later missions without the sand bikes I was lucky enough to find. Traversing the desert on foot would take hours.
The combat is just too difficult and your gear breaks constantly, and even if you repair things, their overall quality keeps breaking down until you can't. It's like an extreme maintenance cost loop to everything while also struggling with the feeling of getting killed unfairly.

I love Dune and I wish this was fun.

Also, there are no bulges or nice curves in the character creator.
No attractive characters, nudity, or dual wielding. All major downgrades from Conan Exiles.

I wanted to completely support this game because the girls have visible panty creases and sliders to give them huge tits. The character models are gorgeous. The art design and even the atmosphere and immersion of the fantasy village and characters are amazing.
The game is too hard.
I am not spending 5 minutes hitting the same enemy over and over. That's incredibly stupid in every single game that has ever had it.
I thought I just needed to keep leveling up to make the difficulty reasonable. Then I stopped getting exp at level 20.
The skill tree is just basic tiny upgrades to the damage of your special moves with extremely long cooldowns.
You're really forced into just taking all these small upgrades to be at a normal power level, and then you fight enemies with oceans of HP like dark souls bosses.
The dodge iframes feel extremely inconsistent or it's just not explained to the player at all, using the character Lann. I got hit and killed many times while in the dodge animation, maybe recovering, but his two part dodge is unclear in how that works.
You're expected to dodge at the last possible moment, flawlessly, over and over, or you die quickly and have to restart.
The white tyrant boss is listed as a level 15 mission, and it seemed to have a billion HP.
I'm just not doing this again. It is not fun.

They should have a gun DLC where you get to shoot frank in self defense and for trespassing.

No sex.
Made my pc sound like a jet engine and melt.

+++ The most horrifying horror game I've ever seen. Fat black woman chases and kills you.
+++ More artistic integrity than cyberpunk because they actually put penises in the game.
+++Very gruesome and unsettling imagery that is extremely rare in a mainstream game.
+++There is a level where you help a man transition and then burn him alive.

--- No combat system. You just run away (SLOWLY) while people run up and hack you to death in ways that should instantly kill you, then just stand still for a second to give you a chance. The animations and AI do not really make sense.
--- Matchmaking is an atrocious waste of time. It will time out over and over as if nobody is playing the game.
--- It's not actually fun.
It's like dead by daylight but with real horrifying enemies.

It looked cool and funny in the trailer, but it's just nonsense after the initial novelty wears off.
When you get to the surface after the tutorial you see how limited the real scope of the game is and how bad the characters and interactions are.
Feels like a quickly made roblox game. I'm not going to play it again.

Can't run, can't jump, can't hide. I couldn't tell if it was possible to dodge or parry. You must assign certain weapons to each holster and they return when you let go of the grip. The knife is very small, and not fun to try and fight with. I think the gore is the main feature of the game, but the actual gameplay is very limited by the movement and AI.

I couldn't find my sister to reenact the hospital scene from NGE
nurse killed me for no reason while running in the hospital
very rude lady

No sex. No jiggle physics.
It's a p2w korean mmorpg. The combat is interesting and the graphics are good, but it's not good enough to compete with FFXIV.
