I agree the whole exploitation aspect is grim, but I feel the tone indicates its not meant to be taken at face value. It's like a cumtown bit as a game. except they made an actually good game underneath the "haha im so edgy + subversive" aspect that I totally understand if some feel goes too far.
dope stuff, hopefully other people that have braved the high seas chime in.
To each their own, I enjoy finding bugs. The “finished” version is forever, the buggy mess at launch is temporary
Honestly it probably has to do with me being a hater at heart.
I loved playing the early leaked starfield build. Shit was dumb as all hell, but the schadenfreude of Todd’s dream game being an absolute turd almost made up for Skyrim releasing in my teens and ES6 not having any chance of releasing until my 30s.
On a more positive note: the Vic3 leaks were better than the finished product. So getting in early can be good sometimes.
I am biased bc monster catchers and survival games are my favorite genres, but it feels like the dev team was split in half on wether they wanted to make an actually decent monster catcher or just fill it with edgy jokes. The base building and automation mechanics are really fun, but I wouldn't blame someone for being put off by the ""humor""
