I don't know if you react to my post but I am a long time backer (since 2013) and I know a lot about the game (fond of tech aspect of SC). When I say I enjoy the game in its current state, it's genuinely true even if I have at least the same knowledge of the project as you. 45 $ is a lot for some but you talk about the game like a finished product. The 45 dollar you talk about are a pledge for a game that 'will' be released, not the actual one. What you have bought is the game 'released' (notice the quote), not the game now. You can participate to the alpha, but the alpha is not the game. I know you didn't like it here, but the current, long promised and delayed alpha is not "the game". "The game" will come in x years. The main difference between you and me, is I will wait patiently those x years. And I know I've already made a good investment because for 45 $ I already had 45 hours of fun game. 1$ by hour of fun is more than a lot of AAA games I've bought.
are pretty void statements if you only listen to people from this forum or forum alike. From some communities I talk too, I honestly can say too "People like Mole are the majority." A well known french community "Canard PC" have for instance good mitigate points of view about the game (nor haters, nor fans) and is full of people like Mole.
You do generalization here. You will find bad people in every games. I am a player of SC posting here and I haven't called one of you "hater, troll or worse". It's the same ingame. The worse I can tell is "so this game is not for you". It's the same in others forum too. For sure if you say SC is crap on the reddit dedicated to SC you will not be listened. But if a player come to the ED reddit to do the same, it will not be listened too. If a player come to the ED channel in game just to explain how bored he is and why, It will be dismissed, nothing more natural. And it's of no use to explain to a player whom enjoy a game why he should not enjoy the game. The SC's forums are full of those players enjoying the game.
they are not told here because no-one is really willing to hear them, just simple as that.
the same sentence apply to haters and fanboys of SC. The haters "CR mansion" trick is as bad as the fanboy "never done before" trick .
all players deep following the project have the same infos. The answers they give come from the same source and are often the same.
they are not excuses but explanations. It's complex, the project had/have it's fair amount of mistakes and mismanagement, they were small at the beginning, the engine was not the good one, CR is too perfectionist and makes everyone loose time, etc. So what ? I have fun with the game but I should tell everyone to stop playing it because I want CIG to fire CR ? Or jump in my time machine to come back in 2012 to tell CR to choose Unreal instead of Cryengine ?
I and a lot of my friends know all the red flags you talk about. We don't dismiss them at all. But you know what ? We play and enjoy the game since several months and poured a lot of hours played in it, even if we know all those problems. So what ? We have to stop having fun because we know CIG is slow and that the game would be much better directed by CD project ?
ask some normal SC gamer if he put SC on a pedestal. Not me nor my friends.
