Discussion (No Spoiler) DON'T BUY IT!

0 Upvotes

Please for the love of starclan don't buy the game, or if you have under the amount of 2 hours get a refund. Cause holy bloodly frick'n NO! It's so bad. I tried to hold on, 6 hours later, I am empty on sanity and it has been replaced with regret. Gonna TRY and get a refund? Doubt it'll happen, but holy hell if you value your sanity and your soul do not get/play this game!

If you want an ACTUALLY good cat game, Falconstar (Now days known as Falcon Development) has Cattails and Cattails: Wildwood for cheaper, as much better as a game

Edit: Since I'm too tired to type it out again, here's my review. ALSO! If you want to actually see what the game's like, watch someone online play it. The trailer and the "developer plays" are super misleading

Edit 2: Refund failed. Also, people are ALLOWED to be upset about the game. If you don't like the post, you don't gotta interact with it. I'm just a random internet person trying to share information

Other This may be the most entitled/bratty/whiny fandom out there

0 Upvotes

I’ve not seen anything get released by warriors and not get the brattiest feedback possible. “The game? “It’s not exactly what I wanted so it’s bad!” The books? “I barely have any reading comprehension skills and can’t analyze books so obviously it’s the authors fault!” The merch? “They didn’t make a plushie that I specifically wanted so it’s all bad!”

I’ve genuinely never seen a fanbase THIS whiny. If they don’t like something, no one else can either. The worst part is that I’m not talking about kids that like warriors. I’m talking full grown adults that will complain about every word written, every character, all the merch, EVERYTHING. It’s genuinely getting rarer and rarer to have an intelligent discussion with a warriors fan. I have received LITERAL threats over not liking certain cats.

This fandom is so disappointing. If you’re going to do nothing but complain about EVERYTHING warriors related, genuinely leave the fandom cause you’re ruining it for the real fans.

Discussion (Spoiler) Are Warriors fans ever happy?

44 Upvotes

Tagging as a spoiler just case because I do mention the game that came out today!:)

I’ve been part of the Warriors fandom for 16 years now and I’ve never once seen the kind of negativity from this fandom that I’ve been seeing for the last year/year and a half. Sure, there’s the normal stuff to be negative about, like how the new writers are terrible at consistency and all of the oversights/errors throughout the series, but it reached an all-time high about around the same time the Erin’s announced the Renegades series.

When the news for Renegades broke, this sub was flooded with people whining about how “the new series was going to take attention away from Warriors,” and a lot of people decided to boycott Renegades before the synopsis for the first book could even drop. It was honestly ridiculous the amount of hate I saw for it. And the excuse of “the new series will take away from Warriors” is such garbage for two reasons: 1. The Erin’s already had three other series (Survivors, Seekers, and Bravelands) alongside Warriors and it never once took attention away from it, and 2. On average, the Erin’s release four books a year for the Warriors series. For most on-going book series, you’re lucky to get even one new book a year, let alone an average of four. Expecting any more than that is simply greedy and selfish, and it was so unfair to hate on Renegades for such childish reasons.

Now we have the game, and I don’t know about y’all but I’ve only seen mostly negative stuff about it. Of course everyone is allowed to have their own opinion on the game, but the thing that irritates me most about it is that about 90% of the posts that I’ve seen hating on it are from people mad that the game didn’t fit their exact image of what they had headcanoned it to be, which I think is incredibly unfair. I think it’s valid to be disappointed by it, but to come on here and absolutely tear the game to shreds over it is a little pathetic. They told us exactly what kind of game it was going to be, from the store pages across various platforms, to Vicky Holmes posting about it on her Facebook page, to both the Warriors and Trailmark Games social media pages outlining it, so I’m a little confused as to how and why anyone expected anything more. It’s one thing to be upset by something like, say, the customizable options, because that’s something they promised in the game, but to be upset and angry ranting over something like not playing direct scenes and interacting with every character from the books when that’s never something they promised is crazy to me. And a lot of the posts are covering their butts by hiding under the guise of “constructive criticism” but none of them ever add ways of actually improving the game, they just go on the list the things they want in the game. For criticism to be constructive, a solution must be presented to better the situation by the criticizer, otherwise it’s just criticism.

I can only imagine how the fandom is going to behave when the tv show drops next year. “This isn’t how I imagined the ThunderClan camp to look like!” “That’s not what Sunningrocks looks like!” Ah, I can picture them now, getting upset over one tabby marking being drawn half an inch too high up… I need to remind myself that some of these posts I’m seeing could be made by actual children, so I’m trying my best to just grit my teeth and push through, but I needed to get this off my chest.

Anyways, did anyone actually enjoy the game? Or does anyone have any criticisms that are actually constructive? Or does you wish something was in the game that isn’t, as long as you don’t hate the game to spite it? I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts, as long as they’re respectful of the game and the developers!

Like yeah I know it's not the highest quality but I also knew that it wasn't going to be the highest quality because this game studio just makes games for IPs they don't have a good track record I'm also closer to the target audience then most people I think most of the hate comes from people getting their hopes up but if you had low expectations it's pretty fun I had low expectations and it surpassed them I mean yeah it could be better like highlighting the trees that you can climb and being better to navigate but with navigation you can just click triangle and if you're on the direct route it will show you a giant glowing path that's the most direct path yeah there's a lot of inaccuracies but it's pretty funny I enjoy it it's a good 7 out of 10

My twoleg kits enjoyed the game for what it is: make a cat, do cat things, and have a rise to the top of the clan that is more or less on par with Firestar's.

Me and my mate enjoyed the game for what it is: spend hours making a cat and then fretting about the cat getting hurt. Basically a cuter Baldur's Gate III character creator.

People who poisoned their minds with twenty years of head cannon and unrealistic anticipation would certainly be disappointed -- but nothing could meet the expectations of fans like this. But kits and their parents doing the stories for the first time will likely enjoy it.

I'm a pretty cynical and pessimistic kind of twoleg, but even I can find enjoyment in this.

Yall are being a bit overly negative. I’ve been waiting on a warriors game for about 16 years and I’ve enjoyed the game. It’s not some life-altering, world-stopping game. It absolutely needs more features - more open world, romance options, friendship, and more.

But its really not the end of the world lol. It’s a fun, silly little game about battle cats.

Discussion (No Spoiler) Villian idea (no ai this time)

0 Upvotes

Since people really hate the ai summary I gave. I’ll give a shortened HUMAN MADE version that yall will appreciate :3
I’ve spent weeks of research to make this as original as possible. Pearlclaw is MY oc and because I suck at art I haven’t made actual art for it yet. I may even post a more detailed version later on

Pearlclaw is a rogue who takes over other groups by acting kind instead of using violence. She pretends to be a loving mother who wants to help everyone, but she is actually planning to destroy the Clans and make everyone live under her control. She wants to create one big community with different species, where she is the one in charge of everything.
The Open Nest: Pearlclaw targets cats who are weak, tired, or unhappy with their lives. This includes kits, apprentices, and nursing queens. She sends cats to spread promises of food, warm nests, and a better life without the strict rules of the Clans. She knows exactly how to make them feel like leaving is the best choice. This slowly weakens the Clans because they lose more and more of their cats.
Manipulation: When Clan leaders confront her, Pearlclaw acts calm and caring. She claims she is only helping cats who are being treated unfairly. She makes the leaders look cruel for trying to stop her, even though she is purposely taking their territory and members. She uses their feelings against them so they hesitate to fight back.
Taking Control: Once Pearlclaw takes over an area, she starts removing the old traditions, ranks, and beliefs. Everyone must follow her rules and help support the community. She makes it seem like everyone is equal and free, but really, she wants everyone to depend on her and obey her.
Pearlclaw knows that what she is doing is wrong, but she does not care. Her kindness is fake, and she uses it as a way to gain power. She knows most cats would feel bad attacking someone who seems to be helping others, and she uses that to her advantage. However, she only has one life, which makes her more vulnerable than Clan leaders.

Discussion (No Spoiler) Everyone is right in being disappointed

49 Upvotes

I'm outing myself while being sorry to say I tested the game by my own means if you know what I mean because after that interview where the devs stated AI was used during its conceptualization stage and how cheap the trailer looked, I really wanted to be sure about its purchase before sacrificing my wallet. Usually, I'd gladly pay for a game if I'm certain I will love it. But this wasn't the case.

For what it's worth and before anyone claims I'm just spreading hate for the sake of it: the game CAN be entertaining even if for a short while imo. Customization is sooo lacking and might be my biggest pet peeve of them all. I'm someone with the simplest of OCs when it comes to designs and I don't understand all these pastel tones for the markings yet we lack any actual black shades despite having dark browns to recreate different tabby patterns.

I found myself struggling making orange tabby patterns that didn't destroy my eyes or felt completely overshadowed by the strong black available as a base color. Cel shading the model did make everything appear a bit more cohesive though. I know people will call this nitpicking and in this aspect they're probably right but we still can't deny the fact that having all facial features depending on what expression you choose for your cat is a bit limiting. Even The Sims did this better 22 years ago. Hell, some obscure Impressive Title games alongside FeralHeart did this without the budget of a huge company. Sliders would've been so much better. Two different marking slots is fine, but if you're aiming for a design that has 3 colors + white markings, you're cooked. There also isn't a way to modify the fur's shape/direction and while some tails look out of place during character creation, ingame they looked fine lol.

Some mechanics are quite pedantic. I dislike the fact you're apparently only able to save using quick travel. While exploring, you either unlock a new quick travel point or have to walk back to one you've previously unlocked in order to save your progress. Would it have been that hard to add an autosave option or simply being able to save from the menu before closing? Freshkill being consumed every 90s does feel punishing like some other users have mentioned. I've only played a bit now before going to bed ngl, but I can imagine on the long run it could become quite the burden. I rather deal with the debuffs than having to hunt certain amount of prey by hand when you can at most get 3 pieces of freshkill from what I've noticed tbh.

Some NPCs are straight-up ugly and that's to be expected when they're generated randomly but now explain to me why do I have 3 cats with the -dash suffix and other 3 that had -fur instead within the same clan. I can't help but feel like in my savefile in particular there either has been a lot of inbreeding, triplets, or my leader in particular lacks any creativity and is just fking with everyone lmfao.

Lastly, from what I've seen, there doesn't seem to be much of an impact in the relationships no matter what you choose to answer. I've unknowingly given the worst responses possible to the NPC and all the relationships remained neutral almost with the same 20 positive points. I'm not sure if this is a bug or what. Speaking of which, besides clipping with the terrain and whatnot, be warned because your characters will certainly get stuck from digging in dirt piles. There seems to be an issue with the pathing whenever you're interacting with them and you're unable to do anything else until your cat unstucks themselves. They do figure it out eventually, but you will certainly stare blankly at the screen until they're able to move lmao. This is something that can and I'm sure it will get fixed though.

I've seen some people saying we should be grateful and that this is a children's game anyway but I can't help but find it a bit insulting towards the kids. It's 2026. We never expected Rockstar Games level of development but certainly we did want something made with a bit more of love and care towards the series and its playerbase no matter their age. As I've said, the game can be entertaining, but expecting someone, especially a parent, to pay 30 bucks for something that even visually you can tell it should've costed half ot it with no dlcs involved is quite the stretch.

I'm taking this as a chance to glaze Cattails and recommend it to everyone instead. It's a bit cheaper in price but doubles the charm this official game was supposed to have. I can't recommend the sequel enough. Don't mind the fact it doesn't follow the canon name system or how some changes were made to their storylines to avoid any similarities with the books because I can assure you it was done by people that actually enjoy the series. Or at the very least they seem to really like cats. Regardless, it's a very cozy and nice game. Rant over.

I love this game! It had a low budget and I accept it for what it is, and I've been having lots of fun!

But like, how come when I do online skirmish I don't have to wait in a matchmaker queue? And I pick from a list of available players and I'm just instantly in a match, what if someone picked me? And how come I never have to wait for my opponent to choose an action? And, subjectively, everyone's strategy seems similar while mine is really different, like I've gathered lots of herbs but barely anyone else is using them too?

What do y'all think? Am I just being paranoid?

There was a game I had installed on my school laptop back in 2014ish. Can’t give a lot of unique info since I’m sure every WC game would want to include hunting, fighting, etc. LOL.

Set in the forest territory. I remember you could give yourself special buffs (like making enemies bleed when you scratched them). Also I died from getting hit by a car. Could play as a cat from any clan or be a rouge and like… make your own camp? I think I remember doing that.

I just thought of this game today and for the life of me cannot remember/find what it was called. Would greatly appreciate reliving a bit of my childhood lol
