By far the WORST game in a long time!

[Christian]

It's difficult to remain factual at this point. Objectively this is not possible at all!

The game currently has so many bugs that it only has to be quit with ALT+F4. I know it's early access, but even that doesn't justify the price! Despite 7000 NVME and a Ryzen 5950X, the loading times between the stations are also very long! There are problems with the view, with the physics, with the orbit calculations - it's SO BAD I just SUCK. There are also so many components missing...if I had known beforehand. I deeply regret the purchase and urge everyone NOT to buy it!

Aw, that's cute, he thinks his opinions are objective facts.

Thanks for the heads up, but kinda curious...

if I had known beforehand.

How on earth could you not have known beforehand?

so you want to get games cheap by accessing them early until they complete? Unfortunately that would be very bad for developers, early access exists for fine tuning games and polishing them by user feedback.

You had two weeks and two hours of gameplay to test before refunding.

You are by far the worst customer in a long time.

So you can't see past the bugs on an EA title that's had just the one update since its launch just a few weeks ago.

Anything else you forgot to tell us about yourself that you think we should know?

Don't be shy now😅

Honestly I also regret it so much... I just can't shake off the feeling of disappointment no matter what. All this waiting... for that.
Plus having the "IT's EarLY ACCesS"-people downplaying the thing adds up to the frustration for me.
Such is life I guess, and at the end of the day it's just a stupid game, so it's not that important and there's other things to enjoy in the meantime.

No, the people mentioning the fact that it is early access are not downplaying the issues at all. When people mention early access, it is mentioning that whenever you buy an early access game, you have to accept that there is an inherent risk that things are broken.
This is not saying that it is acceptable that the game was released in this state, but it is always possible for early access games to be released in this state. What's more, I would honestly say that if a game is listed as early access, you should be researching and taking steps to protect yourself more than what you would do with standard game releases, and they can be bad (look at The Last of Us Part 1.)
However, I still see people use other pre-release software which includes, as an example, disclaimers such as:
"These builds could include major issues that could result in not being able to use your PC correctly or even in some rare cases require you to reinstall Windows."
for the Windows Insider Programme, and then complain when their system goes into a bug check loop forcing them to reinstall Windows.

I did not say that sorry. I'm talking about overal low amount of content and poor quality of the game in general at release and how some people just downplay what it means.
If you can brand "early access" on any unfinisshed product at full price, then what's the limit? No textures? No sounds? No options? No physics? No installer? When does it stops? Early access is supposed to allow players to test the full game before it's polished for the greater public, not allow developping companies and publishers to make a cash grab when they realize they have nothing to publish.
Remember that KSP2 was set to release in 2020. Not in EA, full release. You -we- are being played by money hungry corporations that give little F about you, and nothing makes them more happy to see people excusing their unprofessional and greedy behavior.

I agree with you completely, This game needs to be roasted way more then it has been. It is nice though to see when you click on reviews its pretty much only the not recommends are found the most helpful, and I make sure to click that helpful button on the not recommended.

Again, while I'm sure that people are repeating the early access mantra using it as a label, this isn't downplaying anything. Ignoring the issue of the price for now, there have been plenty of early access games that are put on Steam with only a fraction of the final content. I know that Powerwash Simulator had a fraction of the final game, The Planet Crafter also started off with less than half of the final intended content. You can think of the early access designation as an explanation for this if you wish, but it isn't downplaying anything.
The other big thing about the early access designation is that Steam outright states that you shouldn't buy it if you don't want to support it as it is right now. The early access FAQ does state:
"Steam Early Access enables you to sell your game on Steam while it is still being developed, and provide context to customers that a product should be considered "unfinished." Early Access is a place for games that are in a playable alpha or beta state, are worth the current value of the playable build, and that you plan to continue to develop for release."
so with the fact that this states "playable alpha" then no, early access is not supposed to be there only to allow players to test the full game. The intention is that it is there to allow players to gain access to the game during the development process to provide feedback and help shape future development.
But to be clear, no, this does excuse the amount of bugs, and if you don't want to pay the price that they are charging for it then fine. Feel free to complain.

And even better looking at the player numbers makes me laugh, 800 players in a 24 hour period. And that is down from 25,000 a month ago haha.

Player numbers are mostly inconsequential and are generally poor as a metric.
If you are looking at the Steam player numbers, all this does is tell you how many people are playing who started through the Steam launch link. This tells you nothing about the people who directly started using the game executable. This tells you nothing about why people are not playing or if they will come back in the future.
However, feel free to keep providing this information.

I will! "Just because no one is playing it doesn't mean no one is playing.."

The first paragraph makes me think this is supposed to be parody, but the internet makes me not sure.

God this community is almost just as bad as the Star Citizen community. So toxic around here it's sad.
