Given FunCom's track record...

It's best advised to not pre-order and watch the initial reviews after release to see how the game actually is.

I've been burned twice now on Conan Exiles and The Secret World, to get burned a third time. So hold your cash, give it a week or two and see what people are saying about the game. It's really not worth the desert mouse to be left with a lemon.

Not now, but at launch it was rough. Conan Exiles now is quite a good game, but it took a year or two of polish after release to get good.

World of Warcraft was rough at launch. Don't buy brand new games.

welcome to game development and even more so MMORPG's they are rough most of the time, as the user mention above WOW, most MMO's and games like this been rough.. I don't get why you feel the need to tell people this....

I'm in the exact same boat. They took ages and ages to fix Conan and they were absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ at moderating the forums.

At least they put in literally the exact same combat system I recommended before they banned me because they had a renegade forum mod they ended up firing.

But conan was an absolute mess, a fun mess, but pretty broken and bad. The only reason it was so fun was because it was exploitable to people who didn't know any better.

Took them way to long to add a non spammy combat system with variety and actual purpose into the game. Then they added a paid expansion instead of adding the map to the base game giving an incentive to old players to return.

Secret World was good but they messed that up.

Age of Conan was fantastic then they broke it and everyone quit.

Pretty bad track record.

I find it funny that people keep using Conan Exiles as an example of something bad. Generally speaking people that invested money and time into that game like it. Their other titles are a mixed bag. Some hate them, some love them.

Since this game mimics Exiles so closely, I consider that to be a good sign. It is something they already have experience with. They can copy or emulate code from it. They know what works and does not work already. Which is the reason this is going direct to release instead of early access.

I still remember Funcoms first MMO - Anarchy online - those were the days! I'm an old dad now, but still remember fondly my first MMO. Great sci-fi setting! There were some mechanics in that game that I still haven't seen in the newer games. It was hardcore for sure, but you earned your stripes by hard work, luck and being smart. I hope I can find some of that in Dune.

Wait for a week ? More like wait for 5 years to get a more complete but still unfinished and buggy game hoping it won't turn into another Age of Conan or Secret World...
