I propose 2024 is the year of early access games boycott.

Bring back completed games only.

The pirate life is the way for me

Memesoft and now sony are walking the correct path by creating a netflix VOD like subscription for their platforms, but i only buy current gen games though.

I think you’re a little late on that with Palworld and all.

[–] semperverus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That and palworld is actually good.

I personally disagree but that's a matter of opinion

Nah. I propose instead you watch YouTube gameplay videos before buying games. Plenty of “completed games” are trash and early access titles absolute gems. Also regardless, you’re buying incredibly complicated software that people sunk countless hours of labor into developing for pennies on the dollar so like whatever. If a game is bad I won’t play it. If it’s janky I will move on with my life.

The games I have bought in early access:

  • Kerbal Space Program
  • Factorio
  • Satisfactory
  • Subnautica

Early access isn't the problem.

As a fan of the Diablo franchise, I knew D4$ was going to be complete dogshit, so I never bought it. Every time I watch one of the professional streamers complain, I laugh my ass off. I think Hawg had it right; their plan is to dribble content to the player base a little at a time as a money grab.

Don't look at me. I learned my lesson back with Batman: Arkham Knight.

Wasn't that a port? Lol

As long as the early access game in its current form is worth the sticker price than there is no issue.

The only game I ever considered pre-ordering was Hogwarts legacy. I've always loved the world of Harry Potter, and it looked like everything I've ever asked for. I was going to pre-order it, but I wasn't able to, for financial reasons. Then the game came out, and after watching a video I was like... Oh, this is boring. I learned my lesson.

You'd probably like the first part of the game when you're in Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. The problem is everything after that.

[–] Belzebubulubu@mujico.org 1 points 2 years ago

I hated Hogwarts and Hogsmeade but as soon I could explore I got out and explore the shit out of that world on foot.

[–] Tarkcanis@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I've had a good experience so far, so, no.

[–] Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

How about you care about your own stuff? I gonna buy Norland as soon as I can.

I primarily play indie games anyways, so this doesn't really apply to me.
