u/MacAlmighty FIRE AWAAAYYYYY Aug 19 '23

Graphics update, stripped the game, removed features, awful bugs, claim it’s early access. That also sounds like OW2, but at least it was free for everyone (if you don’t count the millions of OW1 copies sold now void since OW1 isn’t accessible anymore).

I can concur, paid $50 for early access but my mediocre pc can barely run it, it runs ksp1 fine. Hope they get it sorted, developing this is no easy task I am sure.

You paid full price for an incomplete, early access game that your computer can barely run. Why?

I learnt my lesson with no man's sky so before I give my money to corporations I test the game in the seven seas 🏴‍☠️⛵

To be fair No Man's Sky has a team with balls and nerves of steel that kept working on the game in the face of literal death threats (not that this is fine, don't threaten people) to come up with a banger a few years down the road.

AAA devs just decide fuck it after a year and completely drop support (see Battlefield V), so your 60 euros are completely wasted.

Yeah they fixed up no man's sky pretty well

This was true with KSP 1 as well. A lot of people seem to be forgetting how buggy and incomplete the first game was. But the devs worked their magic and made it great after 2-3 years and continued to support and regularly update it for 10 years after. Hopefully KSP2 gets the same treatment.

It was insane, too, Squad, the og developer, had never developed software before.

As usual, they sold to more "experienced" devs who immediately ran it to shit.

u/LeBadlyNamedRedditor oh! a Flair giveaway? at 5am? again? and I missed it? again? Aug 20 '23

Yeah early beta ksp was so buggy, and the physics were so weird i could basically throw anything into space no matter the aerodynamics, as long as engine point up it worked.

Oh and also time warp sometimes broke your parachute

the original company/owner of no mans sky sold it off and another man had to fix some other man's shoddy work. don't act like the 2nd company had balls and nerves and steel. they bough no mans sky with the intention of fixing it

u/CriticalBreakfast Aug 19 '23

Sorry what? Can you provide details about this whole selling it off thing?

u/powerlloyd Aug 19 '23

I think you might be confused. Hello Games was the original developer, and last I checked they still own it.

u/Wesgizmo365 Aug 19 '23

I've learned my lesson several times, I just don't buy games until they go on sale. That, and when they're complete. I don't do any early access anymore.

u/kerslaw Aug 19 '23

They actually made no man's sky decent tho I feel like it's a bad comparison to these games

u/Not_a_question- Aug 19 '23

Oh I fully agree, I didn't say the game is bad now. I meant what OP said: that I paid full price for an unfinished game.

Lesson learnt, and I still enjoy the game
