I really confused by all this hate. Has anyone here actually tried to play the actual game? It's pretty damn impressive what they have now.
It’s still alpha. 11 years after I threw $100 their way.
Some people may be happy to play buggy alpha builds as they trickle out, I want to see a finished game without the perpetual feature creep.
We haven’t even seen Squadron 42 which was supposed to be out in 2014.
They showed off Squadron 42 earlier this year. They're definitely spending money on stuff since it had a ton of A-List actors in the game. Graphics look amazing, everything looks so detailed... The game engine however was struggling. During the gameplay footage it constantly looked like the frame rate dropped to 15fps. They claim the game is "Feature Complete" (whatever that means in their definition...) and now is in the polishing stage. I honestly don't think their CryEngine based Engine will run well even on the latest and best hardware when (if) it finally releases unless they make massive changes to the engine...
