Yet another "Early Access" FPS

[StubbsTheZombie]

Is it that tremendously difficult to deliver a complete game without hiding behind the Early Access shield?

NB4 game dev "Oh, my game is going to be 22,000 thousand hours long and will be the epic conclusion and it's hard to be an indie dev and yadda yadda."

Scale back your operations. Focus on a solid 8 hour experience. Done.

The boomer shooters of yesteryear were able to do this and guess what? When they want to add more content they release an expansion pack. People will gladly pay you $5-10 for another 8 hour experience so long as the price is reasonable.

All the game devs abusing this are shooting themselves in the foot because consumers are sick of seeing unfinished games being released with promises that often times are not fulfilled.

How about you make a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game and see how easy it is then? I swear the number of people who think game dev is SOOOOOO EASSSSYYYYYY

Your opinion comes a dime a dozen. You're not original and admitting to pirating the game makes you a pathetic ♥♥♥♥. Grow up.

It is easy thanks to Unity and store bought assets. Any idiot can crap out a game now if you look at new releases on Steam. To make a good game is obviously a different story and my point still stands: make a fully complete 8 hour-ish experience, release a fully complete game, and then add content.

Yeah I’m sure they bought Mike and Nightwave’s sprites from the Unity asset store

Bait masterclass over here

And those were free. Hence, SHAREware. Try again, Redditor.

what are you ranting about? the first chapter is great I love it. I have no issues with Early Access games as long as the Dev is getting the feedback needed to improve... *looks at Baldurs Gate 3* BG3 was in early access for how bloody long and I have so many hours in not only the early access but also the full game which bloody won game of the year!!! Your paying $10 or $12 CAD for 1 chapter of this game out of 3 which i say is a heck of a deal compared to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ $80 CAD im paying for apparent full AAA games that are just horrible and expect you to fork over more money for extra DLC that should of just been with the base game....

since my other reply got deleted because of a quote, I'll reiterate my point here.

The game is priced according to its content and polish. The game had a demo before... so you can call that the comparison to shareware if you want. You are paying 10 dollars now for a game that will increase in price over time (kind of like... expansions) except you don't have to pay for the new content once it comes out.

It's a win-win for the consumer. Watch a gameplay video, read a review, then buy based off of whether you think the game has good content and polish. New Blood's developers have a good reputation of keeping up the quality with successive updates, so I don't see any reason to be complaining about this.

Would you rather:
Pay 10 dollars for episodic releases that are polished and get the full game in a few years for free
OR
Pay 30 dollars for a full game when it finally releases in a few years

This argument is nonsensical. You are complaining about the devs giving you a boon. They are handing you the appetizer and you are asking for the full course in one meal, when you could pay for just the appetizer and get the full course for the same price later.

Patience.
