minus-squareSibbolinkfedilinkarrow-up15arrow-down1·10 months agoWasn’t it also early access? At least some part of it? Or am I remembering the wrong game.
minus-squareNeato@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up32·10 months agoI’m confused why people are upset at early access. It can be done badly to sell a game that isn’t finished for full price. But Larian has always done early access this way: first act for testing. And it works great.
minus-squarebouh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up23·10 months agoIt was early access for like 3 years. Which allowed them to release a fully finished game, or the closest we had from that state since no one remembers when actually.
minus-squareKuro@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·10 months agoThe first of three acts was in early access for nearly 3 years
minus-squareVikingHippie@lemmy.wtflinkfedilinkarrow-up12·10 months agoYup! A couple YEARS early access even, afaik!
minus-squareGeneralEmergency@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down14·10 months agoFacts are for losers. We’ve got nostalgia to bait.
minus-squareMotoAsh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up17·10 months agoThey are literally the exception that proves the rule. When everyone is shocked that the game was even complete without day1 DLC, you know the industry is fucked.
minus-squareVikingHippie@lemmy.wtflinkfedilinkarrow-up3·10 months agoWell it’s very much the exception to a near-absolute rule, so the original point still stands 🤷
