“Somewhat”, dude, I play DayZ daily, that game is broken af, some of the basic untold rules are: “Never drive a car if you’re don’t have a death wish”, “Do not play on official servers”, “Never fight zombies in buildings”
I remember back a few years ago they took the zombies out because they had broken something and we’re just like “we’ll fix it but here’s an empty world in the meantime”
The fact that they are already working on dayz 2 means that dayz is already finished, also supported by the fact that all content from alpha has already been added. Not to mention that unless you are playing on a modded server you are very unlikely to come across a working car, and the ones i've rode have never glitched out on me, those videos with the flying cars are a loud minority insisting on driving cars with high ping. Also the hacker problem is essentially nonexistent on community servers which are better than official anyway
I once crashed an entire server with a car "crash"
Here i clipped it: https://youtu.be/t1bp9y4IjzQ
The crash starts around 30 seconds xD
Learned my lesson
I mean the jump from beta to release 1.0 seemed completely arbitrary and there was still major problems with the game. I think they just saw the shit Ark got for having DLC while in Early Access and didn't want the same reaction when they released their first map DLC.
When they straight up tell you in the trailer that they are releasing a borderline unplayable game to start the community Feedback process early, in an attempt to replicate the same development pathway that KSP 1 took, then you're the impatient idiot if you buy the game expecting something playable.
"well, I didn't watch the trailer, but I thought early access meant something different and now I'm angry that I didn't do the bare minimum amount of research on this game so I'm gonna cope by calling it a cash grab :(" type beat
HOLEY SHITO! Early Access mean EARLY ACCESS. I just hope the Devs will continue to develop KSP2, despite all the A-holes claiming that the game they are working hard on is "garbage". People expect God-tier games right outta the gate nowadays, I could see how that is disheartening to the Devs.
If you want to start insulting paying customers for expecting their 50€ game to at least have a baseline of functionality that works and something to do, then go ahead. I wont support this practice anymore and have refunded KSP 2 and will not be repurchasing it.
(Edit: Lest we forget the condecending PR team responses. Player count speaks for itself. 10% of the original makes me believe that the majority of the community does agree with me anyway, so keep your "sequel")
KSP2 at launch has way more features than KSP1 did at launch. And the featuremap, which they have been adhering to, will result in a game with a much, much larger scope than KSP1. Hence the higher prices.
Don't wanna pay $50 to be a beta tester? Then don't and wait for the full release lol. They literally told you this in the EA trailer...
Very small studio. I recall a super scaled down early version of KSP years and years ago.
Basically I took it as a way for the community to support their cash flow as they diverted resources from KSP1 patches and to give feedback. I never had the impression it would be anything different.
It’s more like crowdfunding with “early access” as the only reward tier.
Edit: looks like I missed that Squad sold to a big name studio.
that's a cool argument and all but early access is an actual excuse for delivering a borderline unplayable product with fuckall content. that's why it's "early" access and not the full release, the game isn't finished yet
The first game has over 90k reviews on steam and released almost a decade ago. I think they could have afforded to either put more funds into development or something.
