STOP RELEASING UNFINISHED GAMES
You develop a product, you market it, you sell it to the customer, and guess what! It is not finished. This game needed at least some more months of development. I played the game on the release day and it felt like an early build, with thousands of features missing. Optimization is terrible. Textures missing. Audio missing. Ranked play missing. Then you update the game finishing things you SHOULD have done BEFORE RELEASE.

But guess what. Players have already left the game. How do you want to support this game for the years to come when the player base hardly hits 10k? I dont want to put the full blame on the developers, as they might have been pushed by producers However, this is a terrible business model. Totally destroyed your name and respect, as well as this franchise.

More probable case is "stop believing western developer studios of AAA games are capable of releasing a game in a good state".

Learn from Capcom people.

A lot of features are missing. My advice is you go on the instagram page and Twitter page and let others know what they have done.

My favourite part of this is the fact they admit that Replay mode, Obs mode and Ranked ladder are frequently requested but not even on their roadmap.

Dont buy games on day1 then complain when you suddenly found out you are paying 60 bucks to be a beta tester for the next 18 months.

Patience is a virtue, let the ignorants bite the bullet and learn the harsh lesson that you never buy on day1.

What is that argument lol? If everyone waits for others to go first then nobody is going to buy anything. Some people are going to be the starters anyway. Where do the people who write a negative review so you do not buy come from then?

The problem is not the devs bringing out a unfinished game. The problem are the people who buy it... There was a beta that show that game is unfinished. Why should publishers bring a game out that is finished? most people still buy it unfinished. If they bring tomorrow Company of Heroes 4 on the market everyone still buy it. I told everyone to not preorder the game or buy it on release but what do i know.

i was thinking the same, i come here every morning just to watch entitles moan,never seen anything like it,just complaining kiddos,lol,and i disagree with all the op had to say about this post----------OPs review :The game is really fun and well designed. Units, troops and mechanics are cool and enough to get you hooked for many hours. However there are issues with audio and graphics, seems like they did not work these out well, for this price especially. I'd say still very fun to play, and am definitely going to play many more hours of this. RTS being back makes me really thrilled and if you are an RTS fan, do not doubt playing it.:what happen you fall out of bed??

I am writing this because I love the game. And I see it is dying because it was horribly unfinished. You say you disagree with everything I say and I'm a complainer but steam reviews disagree. A good game at core ruined by being released before it was ready. This makes me sad. I have the right to complain because this is what makes the producers who pressure devs stop doing so.

For the PvAi players they can not select a difficulty. The games end in 12 minutes becuase the Ai is so stupid easy its a cake walk. Players don't take stars, instead choosing to let the Ai take the star so the game lasts longer. Does that sound like a completed game? Can't play the harder Ai's because the menu is not finished. Does that feel like a ready for release system?
You have low standards. Just because the area of the game you enjoy is close to done doesn't mean the rest of the game came completed. Plus why are you calling people names?.

Bro if you love it, just go play it. Buy all the cosmetics and battlepasses as well to fully support this polished and finished game.

so i looked at the reviews, last 30 days is negative(dont count only 30days) overall mixed with 56% positive.and IF you had looked at the road map you would know most of your prob will/or would be addressed.so if you are going to use reviews at a debate point, as less get it right :)
