Interesting thoughts about how to define success for video games in today’s market, particularly for those using early access. Lots of respect for Hooded Horse’s CEO, Tim Bender, he says all the right things and seems genuine....
Not to go down a rabbit hole that’s off topic, but I’m generally not offended by Steam’s cut. The platform, advertising, centralizing, hosting, and cloud saves, etc etc, seem like a major benefit, especially for smaller developers, that would allow them to get to market faster, and with a much larger audience.
Still hope it releases in NA soon, unless they plan to do a realm reborn type move I guess.
Edit: back from reading article. “Big update” is rolling out this month, and looks like the 1-year delay from Japan to global will benefit everyone getting the game later this year.
I only had time for 15 min, but I sure hope there’s more to it then walking and watching short clips. There’s more once I get past the “opening”, right?
Just tried playing this on windows PC, legit windows, legit GamePass, and it crashes every 5-15 seconds. Very vanilla/normal install and config of all hardware, etc. Maybe the steam version works better?
I played it a few months ago, before 1.0, and honestly the difficulty pushes me away.
I expected for it to get harder over time, yes, but coming straight out of the tutorial I couldn’t “succeed” on the first real game. Pretty sure I had everything on easy too. Maybe it was the second game, either way.
I played the Steam version of the base game, with no DLC. I did not play the Spacer’s Choice “remaster” as it has a reputation for being broken and poorly put together. I played the game to completion on normal difficulty, completing most of the side quests, spending time with all my companions, and trying to get the most...
I finished the story, quite liked it, thought it was great.
But THEN I join you where it just died and got so boring after. I had no problem “grinding” in D3, so what’s different? They somehow managed to make the core of the core game not worth doing.
