PCGamer warning

from Elemental Forums

I think this article at PCGamer is a little slanderous and overtly malicious. Gratefully the problems he complains about I don't even experience myself. And I have usually been a skeptic here. Articles like this one are only designed to hurt and not help. The article is disguised to help buyers by steering people away through blown out of proportion accusations and statements. I believe the game needs work but not on par with the writers complaints. I don't believe its a disastrous launch. That statement is overblown and an outright a lie in my opinion. I am not a fanboy but I know a good game with potential when I play it. It just saddens me that there are players out there with chips on their shoulders or vendettas.

Actually it would be more : you like or you dont the Concept of the game more than the game itself right now.

Oh please, its been a very rough launch for the game.......even by Stardock's standards. But they also get patches out quicker than any other company I can think of. So soon enough this will all be in the past.

Nuff' said.

That is true. And Stardock is one of those companies that will continue to work on their product (not all companies do this after maybe one or two patches.) However this trend in the gaming industry is not a good thing. And if we as consumers keep buying these 1/2 finished products and then have faith that some time in the future the game will be up to par then gamining companies have no incentive to release a complete product.

Now I will keep supporting Elemental because I do see the potential and I trust Stardock to support the game and not just leave it hanging in the wind.

Not that many though, if the poll question is to be taken seriously.



Barely more than half the respondents appear satisfied with the game, that's a bad sign.  But like the other guy said, I also still have my $50, and none of the aggravation associated with playing what is clearly an unfinished game (from my pov).

 

If you like the game then good on you, my guess is you are much closer to the minority than you wish to believe.

So (since you are referincing the poll and all), if I am in the 54%, how does that put me in the minority?  Please explain this logic.  And what relevance does this have to the conversation?
