If only there was some method to check the gameplay after release and decide if you want to purchase.
Emotionally pre-ordering a game based on your own expectations is a meme.
I wanted to play KSP2 and waited an actual decade for it so I could go to space with my friends. Upon release I checked gameplay and reviews and never ended up buying it. I voted with my wallet and not my complaints, it’s that simple

I shouldn’t expect a sequel to do at least what the previous game did and a little more? I don’t have to pre-order a thing to still be disappointed about the state of it’s release when it doesn’t even meet the bare minimum expectation for a sequel.
It even works in the opposite way. I didn’t get The Witcher 3 at launch because of the expectations set by the first 2 games being technical nightmares. But it turned out to actually be good.
I agree with that sentiment for movies; not so much with video games. I can think of way more video game sequels that were actually better than the originals than video game sequels that were worse.
I agree. But also we’ve seen so many games come out that are absolute disasters that if you are buying it on day 1 (or even before) instead of waiting for the reviews to come out before buying it, you only have yourself to blame when you get burned.
I loved C:S and was very excited for this sequel to come out…but I haven’t bought it because the reviews before it came out were mixed (being generous lol) and so I still haven’t bought it. I’ll wait or maybe never buy it. Likely I wait for the price to drop to like 15 bucks and buy it then.
If only there had been a game that you had played thousands of hours on and had high hopes for the sequel.
He’s not arguing against hoping for a better sequel. He’s telling people to stop pre-ordering games without knowing how good the game is going to be.
Also, you waited a decade to play a game you wanted to play? That’s a you problem.
Read his reply again. He waited 10 years for it to release and get reviewed before making an informed purchasing decision. He made a smart move.
Perhaps on Steam KSP1 was release in 2015… they had a standalone version of KSP1 in 2011 which is 12 years apart from KSP2 which was released in 2023. Smug fucker.
The first public version was released digitally on Squad’s Kerbal Space Program storefront on 24 June 2011, and joined Steam’s early access program on 20 March 2013.
Now please, continue gaslighting me about how I’m “chatting shit”. Get better at arguing

Should it be the case? Yes. But we’ve been burned enough times that it’s incredibly naive to expect it.

Weve been burned precisely because no one held the gaming industry accountable for the state of their games.
Speak for yourself, I haven’t bought a game at release for well over a decade, and even at that point it was pretty rare for me.

Ksp released 2015 so unless they were awaiting its sequel 1 year before it released they are chatting shit. Facts mean nothing to you do they?

This is the part where you apologize for being rude and wrong and we all move on with our lives having learned something new.
No shame in that.
Happy weekend friend!
