You can just kill everyone in stealth sections so far, and there was no eavesdropping in the missions I’ve done. There are some escort missions, but they give you time and tools to try killing all of the attackers before they even approach
I looked at my backlog of Playstation and Steam games, and thought to myself: “I’m gonna buy No Man’s Sky again, turn on cross save, and port my 200+ hour save to Steam.”
I’m going through old exhibitions I missed over the last few years, and PC is the way to do it. Having spent about 12 hours on it yesterday, I’m pretty happy with my decision
It has its moments, but for me its too much of a sand box. Every planet feels the same. Every outpost feels the same, every npc feels the same. Theres no world building or serialized stories.
I never pre-order nor pay for early access. Examples are plenty, but a couple that spring to mind are New World and Ashes of Creation. (Even excluding the infinite early access of PUBG, and whatever the hell Star Citizen is).
For the former, their “beta test” was “yeah, it runs: ship it” and ZERO feedback was noted or actioned. The release day was The Single Worst game release I’ve ever seen, and 4 years later when Amazon decided to kill it, ALL of the beta bugs were still there. To be fair, it was a “pay once” game. With MTX, of course.
For the latter, people started by paying $300+ for “alpha access” and more recently $100 for the same thing. And it’s clearly 2-4 years away from being remotely ready for release. Those people are paying to do QA. And it will be pay-per-month on release, as if it was 2010.
If your FOMO overrides your other faculties, and you’re willing to put up with all of that, then fine. You do you. 👍🏻
Every pre-order bonus I’ve seen is a skin, title or other tat that doesn’t have any value beyond signalling that you pre-ordered the game.
Me? I’m done playing these financial games with video games. Until a game is released/GA, it’s vapourware and non-existent. But again: you do you.
The only game I’ve ever pre-ordered was FF3/6 but that was because you needed a physical cartridge in limited supply to play it back then.
Preordering a game you can download digitally is the height of stupidity unless you specifically want to give an interest free loan to a creator you really want to support
I pre-order some games, especially table top, through crowdfunding and do enjoy interacting with developers and their early player base during beta testing / early access especially if I’m able to contribute in some way.
I don’t pre-order but I do buy early access games. Unless it’s something genuinely limited edition and unique there is not reason to risk buying before release.
