Who is buying this?

[Đюя]

Ngl I can't believe people are buying this game let alone pre-ordering. The IP is hard carrying this one for sure. I was praying for the gom jabar after playing the beta ,the game plays worse than a ps2 era title, animations bad, combat terrible, content none existent. I don't get the hype at all.

I would buy the gold version for Lisan Al Gaib. But they didn't give me a key for the beta and I'm not sure if it will work properly in game mode.

This is a 90s thing, you wouldn't understand.

I do not even use Guns... they are useless...
It also has a very bad Memory Leak.... I have to log out every now and then to refresh the game otherwise it is a graphical lagged up mess and you have no chance to fight or do anything...

I wont lie the story here is still fairly intriguing, thought I'm not sure why you'd choose to experience it through such a terrible game. Also I am a 90s kid and have read the books, so I really don't get that line of reasoning.

I bought Conan games because I was brought up on the books, and I loved them. I bought a couple of very early Dune games because I was brought up on the books when they were released, and I loved them, too. Likewise, I also loved the Dune films and the TV show, so I'll be buying this game as well. (The $50 basic version will suffice, as the other editions contain nothing I'm interested in having.)

It's a bit like other hobbies, where you buy things to be a completionist, or just add to your collection. Don't worry, as a "90's kid" you probably won't get that, either. Believe me when I say that gaming on my PC is the least expensive of my hobbies. 😄

Guns have been fine, even with dealing with the shield guys as long as they're not in a charging mob, and even then they're fairly easy to deal with. Yet to see this memory leak.

There was separate tile in the games library with "... beta weekends"

I mean is it even a collection if it's not physical? Whats there to get? You wasting your money on a subpar product because you're a slave to the IP?

I think they made a HUGE mistake by not giving out Beta keys to everyone.
I only buying this game because I was able to play it. Otherwise I would have skipped it 100%.
I know it sounds weird but its their luck they handed me out a key on the 2nd day.

[Azraile]

I signed up for alpha and beta and didn't get ♥♥♥♥ not even any news on it just the marketing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sent over and over ..... then was just blam open beta ..... and the open beta don't have access to key game points.... kinda blah, from what I've seen I wouldn't pay 25 bucks let alone 50 for this.

you need the mentat skill for it?
I'm still trying and choosed mentat, but my darts dont penetrate shields. Not sure how it works, Need to play further, but Shai Hulud got me really bad and set me back hard and i lost all my good gear, running around naked gathering plant fibres :D

I don't think it will do well, sales wise. All indicators point to a flop, but lets wait and see.

About OP; i'm not sure if i should refund or keep and play it at release.

To decide this i'd need to know more about the DD and how PVP works and plays out.
But we cant test it. We dont know if its balanced - i dont think so, i think there are some super meta builds that will dominate.

But more important, can i survive and avoid PVP in the DD and establish a viable sneaky playstyle to get ressources from the DD trying to avoid attackers like it is possible in Sea of Thieves. Full open PVP game, but you can play smart and avoid PVP to a large degree.

Having PvP is good, its some kind of Spice, but if it comes down to meta builds and zergs and nothing else, it'd be not for me.

I dont have high hopes that Funcom did it smart, but nobody knows.
Until i dont have reliable informations about this i keep my pre-order and try it out myself.

Let those people buy and waste their money.
