Developers have been completely transparent from day one and releasing regular updates. No reason to believe it will never be finished. The polish update gets finished and the game goes out commercial after that...There's no other testing. Alpha was done long ago. This is all beta testing for feature implementation.
What I like about this dev team; while their plans are ambitious, they hold no illusions of how challenging this will be and are regularly updating people with their ideas, challenges and goals. Where some devs would just say, this is hard - fuck it...and scrap a concept implementation, not this team.
They are able to take difficult concepts and make them real, even when they're unimaginable beyond writing on a piece of paper.
I can't wait to see what the map looks finished

Oh that's a shame.
When you say issues do you mean graphically, gameplay or story or what?
austere lance
Buggy af, combat is pretty repetitive, and it takes hours to get to the open world part that's actually entertaining. And the story is 
gray pond
Something which frustrates me a little about graphics
People keep saying Apple needs to support Vulkan, Metal is so similar to Vulkan must be a copy of Vulkan, right?
Metal came out 2 years before Vulkan, Vulkan were the ones copying Apple after Metal beat the people which made Vulkan’s current graphics, OpenGL.

My wife is in the middle of downloading it so I've not got around to playing just yet.

Lol, it's been sus for quite a while. A no-name studio blatantly funded by Russian companies randomly decides to make a AAA knockoff Bioshock and sell it with sex appeal (the female robots from the game did better marketing than every cool trailer they tried beforehand 🤣)

https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/atomic-heart-game-ban-xbox-ps5-ps4-steam-ukrai...
Ukraine is setting a pretty bad precedent, acting against a video game for what it could in their opinion based on nothing but conjecture, do.
Ah nevermind.
Oleksandr Bornyakov, Ukraine’s deputy minister of digital transformation, has said that he will be sending a letter to Sony, Microsoft, and Valve requesting that digital versions of Atomic Heart not be sold in Ukraine and for its distribution in other countries to be limited.
That's his prerogative as the deputy minister to block the sale of products inside of his own country which impact his jurisdiction
That statement above is from the metro. The statement from comicbook just reads:
In a statement from Dev.ua, Ukraine's Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation, Oleksandr Bornyakov, made it known that the country wants various platform holders that are selling and distributing Atomic Heart to now prevent the game from being sold.
Two entirely different implications.

I think the developers were very careful to avoid what that cast of modification does to their game by providing guard rails with the sort of themes the game covers and is already willing to be risky about. Pushing the envelope such that it changes the games rating....

I would approve of using it only in the same way you’d google an aesthetic and scroll through images for inspiration. You wouldn’t just save an image and then sell it lol

Absolutely. I think it’s cool what AI can do but it’s ridiculous to make a profit off it when you just type in prompts
Not even remotely comparable to dedicating so much time and money to learning and making art yourself

I genuinely hate that Sons Of The Forest got rid of hotkeys. It takes at least a good 3 seconds to equip a weapon, when you are being attacked by hordes of cannibals...
Even 1 second is life and death situation, but when done manually it's a lot more difficult
dry copper
There aren't weapon storage things on walls and shit where you can just leave shit to use?

I haven't checked on that yet
dry copper
I mean if they're going for realism (and that seemed to be their MO with The Forest), in that nightmare scenario...

If a cannibal attacks me, I need to manually open my inventory by holding I and then manually click on the specific tool I want to equip, not to mention how much of a mess it is.

The game is pretty neat! Without any doubt. But there are things here and there which may over time be polished with community feedback, hopefully, they add hotkeys too.
By the way, the link you posted, it takes longer still, due to having to manually clicking on the weapon.

I like that the devs in that game are pushing the relationship minigame more indepth.
I mean, it's not profane. I mean in terms of making it feel more personal.
A game can feel personal in terms of letting you customize the environment you're in and My Time At has always added another layer by creating a culture of people you can culture relationships with that create an added sense of individual ownership
dry copper
Yeah. I drank the cup in the middle.

The vanguard playlist includes strikes and battlegrounds now - matchmade automatically
unless there’s some way to do solo I don’t know of why do you wanna solo?

Because I have social anxiety

I do as well but thankfully there’s zero forced voice chat, and you could just not do the playlist altogether I suppose

There have been a couple times where the writing is bad but otherwise I'm interested

i met a group of people that were toxic in pvp by messaging the team i was in and me, my team was already in a party and knew each other i was the one random. they invited me to the party and basically in short said “watch this”, and booted the toxic ones offline
weak tiger
i genuinely love the gameplay, story, vibes, everything. The story went from eh to 100 real fast. A lot of very good moments lately, but a few years ago-ish the writing was kind of ass. I took a lot of breaks
tame cairn
and then i was hooked on destiny
lol
i like destiny 2s story, im just not super invested ig
coarse swift
Examples of the bad writing:
The entire story of the Warmind dlc back in year 1 (Zavala suddenly hating Rasputin despite being enthusiastic about working with him before, Ana's cringe character trope, Xol being the weakest God boss ever, etc)
The recent story in Season of the Seraph was mostly good, but people seem to ignore that suddenly Osiris is worried about Ikora losing faith in him? Also where'd this "I have no equal" attitude come from. He wasn't like that before Savathun's possession.
weak tiger

I found a lot of the dialogue and moments pretty… i don’t know the right word, trivializing? not taking the situation seriously?
