They almost got me with preorder last night, but I was like nah I'll just wait and see in the morning. I love how i've been reading for weeks that "it's good they made fast travel hard", like preparing us for a fast travel MTX. Or it's the greatest character creator of all time, but to edit after you have to spend more money - the game is basically $100 canadian. Absurd.
Don't forget the performance. One review was saying it's so bad that a dragon was speaking before his animation started playing.
Fuck, really? I mean, I'm not like a die-hard fan of the game(s) or anything, but the first one is still pretty enjoyable. And it's $5 on steam.
And it's a totally complete game, with an in-game barber/character customizer. You can't change your character's body type though, only the hair and skin colors/styles.
You can buy the MTX items InGame at the vendors. Still shitty to have the MTX but yea...
If you can do it with in-game earnable currency that's a bit different.
Tbh I haven't heard that that's the case, but I also haven't gone looking.
They already said you could, but at least in the first one it was an end game/post game item to edit your character. You can check the news tab for the game on steam.
Nah m8, they had circumstances that forced them to release it before they wanted to. There is a bunch of cut content and other not fully realized features. People just don't notice them much because the game is phenomenal as is.
I mean literally every video game has some cut content somewhere. Whether it still feels complete afterward is a different story.
Never pre-order. Learned that long ago. Even games I have waited on for a long time, i'll still wait. Starfield was most recent example of that.
I think I will break the rule though for the factorio DLC, if they do a preorder.
Just curious on what you think the benefit of pre-ordering a factorio dlc would be instead of buying after release?
No real benefit. Guess I was trying to say that i trust factorio devs.
Damn game has devoured years of my life...
I learnt my lesson from Starfield; the most expensive video game I ever purchased.... I pre-ordered that tripe and suffered the consequences. Never again.
I am so glad I learnt my lesson and decided to wait for the reviews for Dragon's Dogma 2. Pretty sad that this is the outcome, but I am glad that I decided to wait and see.
Starfield got me and I should know better by now than to pre-order. I just figured it'd be the usual 'Bethesda puts out crap that modders quickly sort' but the it ended up being 'fast travel, the game' which seems hard to fix.
Thank god for BG3, though - rock solid game.
Fast travel worked almost identically in 1 with no MTX. This isnt why it's like that, but it was an opportunity they say that they could sell.
Lack of simple fast travel is what made the first game horrible
