The problem is, nothing about this is a "first." All these features could be found in the Heathkit Hero Jr. robots back in the 1980's, had an end-user programming module, and it was (most importantly, for a family robot,) far less creepy looking.

When I first watched this, I remember getting that fuzzy feeling you get inside when something almost perfect unfolds before you.

Also gets props for having one of the most accurate depictions of Stalin ever in it.

Again, that's all intentional. I'd be worried if somebody *didn't* find HM unsettling. That said, each to their own, and if you can't enjoy it, that's fine.

Hotline Miami is supposed to feel like a fevered dream, because

you're in a coma after being shot in the head for the majority of the game. Things become much more cohesive after you wake up.

So, ignoring all the blatant strawmen you've thrown up in the first part of this post, polish is indeed the last thing you do while developing a game. However, Alpha is about integrating all the systems together in a functional way, not just throwing parts of them together in a slapdash mess - to that end, KSP is…

I'm personally a big fan of this one:

And you're not him. What of it? Clearly I'm not being bought off. If you can't figure that out for yourself, you're not that bright.

Interesting, because (if I stick with this analogy,) Wonka allowed me to buy his Golden Goose, but has taken 4 years to apply the gold leaf, has kept skipping over parts he started, and has applied some rather ugly makeup along the way to distract me.

So, no, that isn't me at all. I'd also wager, if I worse dresses,…

Sorry my dissenting opinion makes you upset. Unless you have actual intelligent conversation to offer, however, perhaps you should kindly go wedge a cactus up your ass.

The ones that are playable are far too easy. On the other end of the spectrum, you have missions asking you to test launch clamps on the Mun.

Ah, resorting to ad hominems already? Shame.

You're now merely spouting "what ifs," insulting me, and have moved the goalposts of this discussion to suit your ends. I'll not waste time making any further responses to you, as it's clear you're inimical to rational discussion at this point in time.

And, you'll note I made no claims to the contrary. I offered my opinions, but did not "demand" that Squad do anything, nor did I complain about how long they've taken. You should likely actually read what I'm posting, instead of just spouting at me angrily because I don't agree with you and your gospel of perfection.

Thanks for playing internet cold reader. I'm glad you can ascertain my skills at my place of work from a post, and then get so much wrong afterwards that it's funny.

KSP is not powered by multiple engines *at all.* It's a number of modules tacked onto the Unity engine.

While it is true that one cannot tweak the same…

Do notice the fact that Max, the producer of KSP, has stated in the AMA he did the other day that they will likely be going through version numbers faster now (otherwise we'd be waiting almost three decades before KSP was finished.) Furthermore, as a software developer myself, I'd rather not have some random on the…

Genesis simply could do things that Nintendon't.

The contract I entered into with Squad when I purchased KSP stated that I would get a finished product. I am indeed entitled to that. I also have the right to offer my criticisms. Especially since, according the KSP's new producer, he "listens to, and values the opinions of the community when making decisions,"…

Entitlement - the fact of having a right to something.

I do have a right to something. I, as a consumer, have a right to this title upon release. I also have a right to offer my criticisms (as do you,) on their poor work ethic, and to voice my concerns on the fact that they have been unable to finish a single feature…

Your reading comprehension needs work. Just because I played it when it was free does not mean I didn't pay for it when it went commercial.

Furthermore, is it "entitled" to want a developer to actually finish the features of a game you paid for? Especially since they're features they themselves have called incomplete?
