What an Aweomse Unfinished Game

from Elemental Forums

I was so looking forward to this game. You know, since its a Stardock game. The same people that put out Galactic Civ 2. Probably the most fun 4X game I've ever played.

 

It's just great that I can't get a refund for the $50 I spent on this game when it first came out. Now, I'll just have to wait till it is patched enough so I can play it and actually have fun. Probably once that happens the price will be lowered from $50. Meanwhile I will just weep and watch tv... :(

They see me trollin, they hatin...

Seriously we all know the game has issues, no need to beat a dead horse anymore, the best we can all do is offer constructive feedback for the dev team.

Stardock deserves all flak it gets for not granting full refunds. Framing that as trolling is incredibly lame.

1, 2 and 5 of the Gamers' Bill Of Rights would be a good start.

I'm still bummed about 2 and 5. I have no want of a refund, but think its rediculous my computer struggles with Elemental when Starcraft 2 runs smooth as glass.

I agree with this 100 percent. I'll continue to voice my displeasure until the game is on an AAA level of quality for the 50 dollar price point I payed(and preordered).

I could care less about 2 free expansions. In todays world/economy that means nothing. APB exploded in a matter or days, one could argue the game had twice the level of polish as Elemental just terrible gameplay(read: not an mmo). The sad fact is we'll all be lucky to see 2 free expansions. I would have preferred a full refund to spend my money as I see fit on finished products. I can always buy the gold/platinum/uranium/collectors edition later when the game is actually done.

Fiscal3498, you posted that for what benefit? I am enjoying the Hell out of this game and looking forward to an explanation of how they could make it better, in your opinion. Since apparently you are the code master and Know it all !! And b0rsuk  you are the text book image of a Troll, PS that is a Flame now go away and play something more on your level! I here there is a nice boat that will take you to your gaming paradise in platform hell!

Dude, when I was 11 and bought games for my C64 they cost like $50 as well. And when you got home, you found that those awesome screenshots on the back of the box were from the Amiga version...

Now with all these new things like, say the internet, you pretty much know what you're doing when you're spending the tiny amount of $50 on a game.

So stop whining over nothing!

It's all frame of mind really. Some people just like to be miserable. If you keep in mind the ideal of how you think things should be, and compare that to how things almost always deviate from that ideal (and considerably), then you're likely to find yourself a frequent malcontent for your insistent focus on the differences. In other words, you become the type of person who people look at and say, "It sucks to be you.".

That's not to say that you're necessarily wrong, it's just the way you react and behave as a result of your disappointment. If you like to be miserable, by all means go ahead, but as with any disease, it's common courtesy to prevent it from spreading.
