Worst NFT Game Ever? | The Sandbox Gameplay and Review

Рет қаралды 300,196

Күн бұрын

The Sandbox Metaverse is the most soulless and boring NFT Crypto play-to-earn "true ownership" Metaverse that is better than Minecraft (source: The Sandbox developers).
This video features my first impressions and a full review of another one of the largest and most popular Metaverses, The Sandbox. In 2022, the term "Metaverse" seems to be thrown around constantly, with even places like Wal-Mart and The UPS Store having shops open within the metaverse. But... what is The Metaverse? What does it look like? Can I play it today?
I hope to answer all of those questions in more, in today's episode of "Worst Crypto Game Ever?". Here I take a deep dive into the $1B crypto metaverse of The Sandbox and review it from the perspective of a gamer. Gamers are known to be a rather picky bunch, especially when it comes to games that include trendy things like Crypto and NFTs, so it's no surprise that there has been a ton of controversy surrounding NFT Games so far.
The Sandbox is an extremely unfinished game that, unlike Decentraland, hasn't actually sold out of all it's land plots. However, it seems pretty contrary to the purpose of a creative game when they limit how many players are able to buy land to... create on. Imagine Minecraft, except you can't build anything unless you spend $10 per chunk of land. And if there's no chunks left, you have to buy a chunk from someone who has raised the price 1000% in hopes some bigger fool will come along to buy it from them.
Would you play that game?
The current state of The Sandbox is hardly even a game, as the extremely basic example worlds they allow you to play for free are more depressing than they are enticing. I did mention this is a singleplayer only game, right?
Hold on to your hats for this one, folks.

Making the "games" single player only was probably the smartest decision they could have made. In Decentraland the double-digit daily playercounts made it inescapably obvious that nobody wants "the metaverse," but Sandbox can hide that by using singleplayer modes.

This would probably not get a passing grade depending on how nice the teachers were.

Right, and that same logic can be applied to pretty much any crypto when people say it's "worth $xxx". So certainly there would be not nearly enough liquidity to exit that position. However, and I should've included this in the video, they have actually raised a number well over $500M (as far as I could find, I'm sure they've received more in private funding) in cash, not crypto, from other investment firms such as SoftBank. So they might actually have access to almost $1B in real money in addition to whatever they can get for their funny money, which is even crazier to think about.

(south China morning post wtf...) They made some interesting promises that sounded very appealing, especially to creators. The only fun thing in The Sandbox is the game maker. It's their 'engine' required for building the worlds that should be accessible through the plots of land one day. It's a little bit like playing Lego and you can easily spend hours in it (ignoring the many glitches). Actually, it's not even an engine; it's more like a game itself created with Unity.

I have been following the Sandbox YT channel since The Sandbox Evolution (I have played this game on PC version since 2018, which it doesn't work anymore). Once I got notified on the new Sandbox game, I was upset and disappointed, because I noticed the game has been released as a NFT. I prefer playing The Sandbox Evolution, because I enjoyed this game, but they would never fix the issue of the game crash whenever I start building the world when it got an update, which is why it got negative reviews. It is a shame that this game was released as a NFT, which thank god I never played their poorly made game. Glad I found your game review, really well explained.

NFTs, crypto, metaverse and all this crap should never be in a Videogame. If people like this BS, I’m ok with it, take all your money, put it in NFTs and crypto and get scammed. But don’t bother us videogamers. I cannot think of an NFT or metaverse without thinking is a scam or a ponzi scheme anymore… XD

I was incredibly curious about the song. I might be a masochist but I have my limits. Best I can tell without directly subjecting myselft to the sandbox, is it appears to be a song made specificly for the anicubeent themed kpop land? world? area. Whatever you call it. The gist is, I couldn't find the song on shazam, soundhound, or a few sketchy thirdparty apps. Even with a longer version of the song pulled from a commentatorless playthrough of the world. Likely too little too late for folks curious but thought I'd throw in what I found for posterity. Love the videos, be them on these dumpster fires, or some old pc games. Diggles is a classic. A dumpster fire, but a classic. You captured its energy perfectly.

Jauwn, thank you for memorializing this for humanity through your videos, this fad will pass and most people will forget these "games" and those behind them. Ever since I understood not only the environmental but also the criminal implications of NFTs/Crypto/Blockchain I always knew to avoid it and to speak out against it, but I never realized the depths of the grifting and scamming perpetrated by these "NFT firms" . It Contributes a lot to the videos that you discuss who is behind these scams.

I think the only way for this to actually work is if they started with a player base and *somehow* managed to add in the NFT stuff without making the player base leave the game. At the very least its clearly impossible for this type of thing to work starting with all this NFT stuff, nobody will play it, everyone just speculates.
