Hey Nathan I have social anxiety too, to the point where I take medication for it, and I’m still capable of being nice to people online without thinking it’s some big chore. Maybe you should just better yourself and stop blaming others for your own shortcomings

But they shouldn’t be longer either.

What do you think when someone tells you a game is 100 hours long? Chances are you don’t get excited; I wouldn’t. Experience shows that a game that long is going to have […]

A short time ago, I played a game once and it was shit but everyone else thought it was fine. In order to prove my opinion I had to embark on a quest to a foreign land, and find the Master of Video Games. It was an old man with a short grey beard, and I vaguely recognized his face. He congratulated me, and told me my quest wasn’t over until I play The Final Video Game. He handed me a blank DVD case, I opened it and it was a used copy of Epic Mickey. I threw the box back at Warren Spector and told him his game is shit. This is how I became an expert on gaming mechanics, and you better believe it.

4 of the 8 people that started with me quit after a week. The rest of us are on week two and there are lots of things as far as criticisms that I agree with. It’s unfortunately a well-polished Early Access game. I regret that I wasn’t able to experience the beta, but the only thing I can judge the game for is its release state. The state of the community is interesting, due to the veterans spending large amounts of time in that game that none of us will ever play. The loyalty from that group says a great deal about a game they loved. That can’t be discounted. In it’s current state, there’s a lot of “what next.” But, there’s a lot of things the game does right and can be expanded on. And I think there’s a lot of ways to move forward, but I’m not sure the community complaints are in-sync enough for the developers to understand.

But my perspective as of now is shit.

What I should have said is: “The final released version of the game feels like a well-polished early access game”. Meaning, I expect more from a final product – but there’s also a roadmap so I’m not sure why it’s even called a full release. I’ll write a follow-up one day, but I don’t have that level of personal insight with only 2 weeks in.

I really want to write the piece on the community. It’s fascinating. Why do you personally feel so burned by the game? How many hours have you invested? Did you play the beta? When they wiped the game for release, did everything feel like a chore? Do you play now? Do you post on the forums?
