I love rec room! But.. it needs a fix

I love this game! I even have it on VR, My iPad. I can play with my sister, But.. Every time I play, sometimes I keep glitching back t the rooms. And, Every time I play maker pen sandbox I keep getting hacked for no reason, but private mode is better because it’s more calmer. also, why do I have to keep making an email, I’m 7! Last, every time I play “Jurrasic Lockdown” The animations of the indoraptor keeps glitching same as “Ksi’s Revenge” He looks ugly and keeps staying in the same place, On my tablet. Some games like byo fpe, when I go to the new version, this happens, IT KICKS ME OUT!!! I have to restart to my dorm. so I have to go to the old version.. Jurrasic Lockdown, The indoraptor Keeps glitching to the walls! Can you make this animation better, idk why the indoraptor looks cringe when it’s glitched, Also on voice chat, there’s like 9 year old kids swearing and hurting people’s feelings, asking my age, privacy so if they do that, when they log in to voice chat can you fix this game by asking their parents permission to go on voice chat? It will help better! even some 5 year old kids go on voice chat. it’s kinda weird. Why some games copy others like when I join those scams, it’s not even created, some games like, glitch me out of there, sometimes it loads too slow, when it happened on my vr, it didn’t load! My birthday is August 3rd, and Btw.. I am 8 now!

This is why I think rec room is good

My kids and I have 18 kids they all downloaded rec room and some of them are to old for it and they love how many games there are in the game they always say there’s one game but when u go in it there’s so much games in it so I am like do u think I need it and all my kids said yes so then when I got it now I see what they where yapping about this game is so much fun and they are right it’s one small game and with so many other games in it like how did they do this? I will keep this until I die so and that’s why I waited it five stars and if you guys don’t have it, you might need it because it’s 100% stress reliever for me because how many other people you can make friends with and all the other stuff like you can make friends I said that like you can make friends play other games with other people and socialize and yeah you can connect with friends and it’s like a good friend thing of the other apps. I don’t think or that good cause I literally can’t find no friends but like that app is like so good and you can also talk on it. My kids got it. They said that they can’t talk on it until they got a new update on their phone. They can talk now so yeah it’s a good or stress reliever for me and my just my kids. Just love it, so that’s just why I rated five stars and rec room. You’re welcome.

Opinion towards game and Answers to what people are saying

Hello, I am a fellow RecRoom player. I have been playing the game for about 3 years so far and the experience is amazing, very creative, and exciting. Most people in the reviews as I see, aren’t very happy with the voice chat at all. “There are a lot of kids on there and people are cussing in it” yes, very true of course but that’s how it is. In game or not, people all around you will say bad words, especially along with kids. If you don’t like what people in the game are saying then you can mute them by opening up your watch menu, clicking into the people icon, select nearby, and tap on the persons profile and select mute. If muting doesn’t make you feel any better you may select block. There are a lot of kids on RecRoom, just leave them be and everything will be okay :). If kids on RecRoom make you uncomfortable, you may do what I’ve suggested before, block or mute. Without Voice Chat, the game isn’t as interesting and fun. With Voice Chat, you may make new friends, create new memories, and have more fun with the experiences. I hope you understand and like what I’ve said. Thank you for reading this if you have read the whole thing! :)) -A Fellow Player

Why?

Rec room used to be my favorite game, I met all of my close friends on there, and have been friends for almost four years with them. So it makes me sad to play the game with them and none of us enjoy it anymore because of this. A lot of the new setting updates and UI changes have really been my stopping point, as well as many players I know. When you search through the store now, you see the same public inventions over and over again. I also wish it would keep you position on the scrolling the way it used to (if you click to a different tab and come back you have to re-scroll). I am also very unhappy with the comfort settings. I play in VR often and now if you fly into someone or walk into someone, it puts a circle vignette around your eyes. It is HIGHLY annoying and cannot be disabled. It ruins the experience, I understand it could be to avoid any altercations, but if that’s the case, you can block other players, or have an OPTION to turn this on. I find this new setting very inconvenient and irritating. (I am not talking about the comfort settings, but I’m assuming it is now apart of the personal bubble, even if option is on small, the vignette will come up). I want to be able to be near my friends and SEE. It makes me feel so sick, and I get off a lot sooner, and spend much less time on rec room as whole because of this.

(IPAD PLAYERS, READ THIS!!) good app but laggy 😅

so i downloaded this game about a year ago, and after playing for about a week things started to lag and kick me out. i stopped playing from then so i deleted the app, and just tonight i re-downloaded it and tried to see if it would work again. well guess what.. it almost did! you see, in the loading before i set up my account it kicked me out! i went back in and restarted with my avatar and stuff. i went to orientation and it lagged. (freezing) and i knew my wi-fi was good cause i checked it before i downloaded the app again. i finished orientation and thing just got worse. i froze wayyyyy more then orientation. things again, froze and i tried to move again since i was playing basketball. well… that ended badly. first there was a troll on the rim, and i got kicked out again! i just gave up and left and deleted, again. the weird thing is i have this app on a different tablet and it works! idk if this is just my ipad but this is a warning to ipad players! ⚠️ if you have experienced lag with your ipad in online games similar to this, i do not recommend trying this! you might just freeze like me and leave!⚠️ either way it is a great and fun experience for the other players who can play it without lag.

The Game Is Okay

This game is fun, on an electronic or mobile I would say otherwise. This game is much more fun in Vr where it’s like a roblox experience but real and better graphics. In this game I would say it should be allowed for anyone who knows everything about life and knows every single curse word ever. Being on an junior account is boring but if your are not social, the junior account is best for you. There is a lot of cussing in this game but the fact that the ban time goes way far out is too much. Rec room expects people to be 13 while being able to talk but we all know 13 year olds cuss (a lot). I feel that if you catch them cussing leave them off with a warning letting them know if they do it again they will be banned for 10 days and leave them banned for 1 hour. In roblox I would never have real friends, I wouldn’t even care about them but in rec room I felt so much more closer to them. I would suggest a Vr and to have your mic on to get the best out of this experience it’s a lot cheaper it can be a little toxic but it’s still quality. I would say this is the best game in the world except for the lags and the impatience of th3 moderators when they catch someone lacking.

Best or worst game?

Well I have a feeling it’s a game that you can meet new friends and other people like that or friends in real life! Well when there’s other people like that there’s a lot of people that are really rude also mean i know there’s a report button I was wondering why can you say cuss words when ur in voice chat I mean I don’t report them I just leave them alone probably like add a few more new stuff from the tutorial when the new people are bullied and other stuff like that too! I mean for a example! “When there’s a person that is rude or mean press on the profile and choose the report button!” I should know people don’t know where or don’t know what that button does or any thing like that there’s a person that said “5v1” on the “sort by most critical” the 2nd one maybe it can make it equal like the ai or random thingy thinks it’s equal or not. This probably won’t make sense to you guys if ur reading this I say it’s kinda a mid game all though it’s a “4.8 out of 5” I would say it’s good I think u should add this, when someone says a cuss word the voice chat knows it’s a cuss word and blurs it out to make people stop saying bad words to new people. That’s it I take a second review if anything’s goes wrong hope this helps :)

I love it, but there are some cons!

This game is what got me back out into a public setting, even if it’s not a face to face interaction, but be that as it may it still drug me out from a deep anxiety and made me more outgoing! However, my only complaint is the people. Yes, I know anyone anywhere on the internet is capable of bullying and harassment, but some people on this app go above and beyond to make others upset or uncomfortable, it’s hard to enjoy it. Now, while there’s not much RRHR can do, I do notice that complaints filed go unanswered or in some instances unread, I’ve left many public instances where people have harassed me and it’s infuriating to see a reply in words like ‘can’t do anything’ to a report. And this isn’t typical bullying, this borders on sexual harassment in some cases, especially towards minors (I’m 17, STILL a minor!!). Again, there’s not much RRHR can do other than keep eyes out, but instead of swiping off any complaints its helpful to read full stories and decipher the situation as an adult! I do enjoy this game, but I’d advise any minors and anyone who is easily hurt to steer clear of some situations with adults harassing minors or even people cornering you, remember there’s a block and mute button for a reason! :) | PS: I hope that as time goes on RRHR will prioritize reports that actually matter instead of wafting them away!
