Oh look, Ellen Page grew up.

So I was just merrily browsing the Steam front page when I came across an advertisement for an Early Access of Medieval Engineers, which is made by the same people who brought us Space Engineers.  I noticed, however, that Space Engineers itself was also still an Early Access.

I grew very annoyed because this reminded me of a controversy on AngryJoe's Top 10 Gaming Controversies of 2014 video.  In it, he stated Early Access games are becoming much more frequent and are mostly just unfinished games being put out for a quick buck.  I would use DayZ as an example, but I have not played the "actual" DayZ and only use the DayZ Commander mod.  However, from what I hear the game is still very broken and even if they are adding some improvements, it's trudging along at a painfully slow snails pace.

Then we have other games, like Towns, that are released but nothing comes out of it and the developers abandon the project while leaving an "Oh well" note to the people who chose to invest in the game.  I can understand if the game just wasn't working properly, but to just simply be bored and leave a game broken and unfinished when you've made your payday just seems bad.

With Medieval Engineers, it kind of gives me the vibe that Space Engineers is just going to be left collecting dust as the developers have made their quick buck with that game.  Now Medieval Engineers apparently improves on some block placements and looks nice, but lacks a ton of content to make it worth the $20 right now.  Also, I fumed when I scrolled down the page and found this:



That's just fucking insulting.  That is Watch_Dogs and Assassin's Creed Unity levels of bad in my opinion.  "Let's prop up a 'Deluxe Edition' of an incomplete game because LOL!"

I'm more amused by the Reddit chat that turned into an entire comment chain about Breaking Benjamin.

Almost pre-ordered Attila just for the viking factions day one DLC.


Then I decided to just not give James Rusel any more of my money. Rome 2 should keep my occupied whenever I want to reach for a total war game in the near future.

Atilla just looks like a terrible reskin of Rome 2, and I don't trust Creative Assembly after the Rome 2 launch fiasco

Wut?

Take your Jiggy piece and gtfo

I predict this thread will ALSO REACH 6 PAGES

THIS IS NOW A MUSIC THREAD, BECAUSE THIS SONG IS RELEVANT.

Then die.

So a virtually broke Greece leaving the Eurozone would cause financial disaster when they're still sucking Euros in bailouts?

Explain this to me Meta, since you're the financial wizard.

I played Jedi Outcast multiplayer for hours upon hours. My brother lost the game so now I can't play it

Steam.

Daily bump

Never played Jedi Outcast, but you know how I feel about Academy.  Superb lightsaber combat that makes the more modern Force Unleashed games' lightsaber combat look like shit.
