Its the whole “we promise there won’t be any paid items at all until we’re out of early access” then “surprise here’s some paid items in early access” that pisses people off. After ark drew ill will for a EA paid dlc, PUBG got a lot of goodwill for a dev taking a stance against it. Turns out playerunknown is a…

You are indeed (in)correct. The secondhand market is one thing, but the devs originally promised, very explicitly, that there would be no paid items until out of early access. These rare items that sell for so much on the secondhand market are random drops from pay-only loot crates.

It makes a difference because we give them a pass on shoddy optimization, inconsistent servers, and a host of bugs because the game is understood to be incomplete. nd as such any development that occurs while it carries that label, cosmetic or otherwise, is implicitly considered part of bringing the product…

...in early access. Where the implication is that any development effort, cosmetic or otherwise, is part of bringkng the game to completion, i.e. not early access. And thus should not cost extra, unless youre willing to call the game done, let it be judged as a complete product with regards to bugs, features,…

If this game were full release, absolutely. But to ask for the leniency of an early access labelling with regards to bugs, features, etc while having paid dlc is disingenuous. Especially when you explicitly make the claim of no paid dlc until out of early access, garner positive public opinion and trust from that…

But thats not how it works. Imagine youre in a shed in a field. You can 3rd person all around you through the high windows. Someone in the field can’t 3rd person to see you until theyre right up against the shed. Or peeking around a tree. Or fence. Whatever.

Cuz then you can’t make them buy another copy of cs

Between gamers and people with weeaboo nicknames, it’s to say which is more stereotypically the neckbeard

What exactly do you think autopilot in airplanes actually does? Because it sounds like you have no clue at all. Because adaptive cruise control while keeping you centered is exactly what autopilot does.

Yes it should totally just cut off in the middle of the road and crash 100% of the time instead of just occasionally. You really thought that one through there didnt you?

The cost i cited is to take purple gear to 108. Not blue or gray. I have 3 chars with matching heroic armor and full heroic star weapons.

Everyone can feint. There were a couple 1v1 tourneys where orochi made it to the semis if not finals, and anyone experienced knows orochi has 2 attacks-top light and zone. Nowhere near a top tier character but can be successful if youre good (warden is just a better orochi though)

As someone with 200+ hrs in it before quitting, a real shame in that from a gameplay standpoint it’s an excellent game. The combat is fun and rewarding, and the game modes aren’t perfect but have more depth than many initially gave credit for.  Bugs and balance issues, sure, but fundamentally fun and challenging.

Doing something you love for 100+ hours, then having that “something” change into “something else” is quite sane and not uncommon in today’s world of DLC, microtransactions, and even patches in general. The game he negatively reviewed at 774 hours may not be the same game he enjoyed for the first 770

This isn’t mine sweeper which has been the same since decades ago. You may have loved it at first, but something very well may have changed after 700 hours that made you stop playing it and not recommend it anymore. A pay-to-win DLC for example, or a change in matchmaking for a multiplayer game can sometimes be all it…

A valid argument 10 years ago when games shipped and that was it. Nowadays games get patched, continually updated, and sometimes those updates change what made you love the game for the first 699 hours. The review might be a negative for version 1.75 where if you had asked them at version 1.66 it would be positive

I used to play this mmo. Loved it. Sank hundreds of hours into it. One aspect of it was you could upgrade your gear. Above +3 or so upgrade attempts had a chance of failure. Above +8 failure could mean destruction of the base gear.

There are games ive put in over 1000 hrs. Eventually quit because they kept adding more “premium” content as money grabs for an originally free2play game. Left me with a very bad impression, but if you asked me 800 hrs in it would be a positive review

Or, they enjoyed the game for the first several months of playing it. However, as patches and updates come out, they feel the game moving in the wrong direction, devs being unresponsive, restructuring of dlc/microtransactions/etc.

Have to chime in here, late as it is. Jobs knew about his cancer when it was still resectable for cure. He instead thought his fruit diet would fix it. Then it spread, necessitating transplant. He was totaly trying to wish away his cancer until it became too late
