    Absolutely...... they have totally blown it I am afraid. Now they are trying to plaster over the cracks with a  piece of tissue paper with the small updates that are coming, its now been updated again, and broken the "game"

    Not a promising start I have to say :(

     

    It makes No Mans Sky's release look astounding

    I disagree.... its no-one's fault but the developers of this "game"

    As I have eluded to before, any professional development team will be totally focused on a release that works. I have a feeling that these guys are just amateurs who have no business sense or urgency as to how to develop a game, market it and then finally release it. 

    You don't rush out a  game that doesnt work (think back to the first 24hours, it was shambolic) You don't rush out a game before its fans are whining about how long its taking, you ENSURE you ONLY release it when its ready and you have something to show.

    Unfortunately, these amateurs have probably released due to a little pressure from its fans, and thats a HUGE mistake. I have a sneaky suspicion that the release was possibly an early version and they have uploaded the wrong and most current (working....hopefully) version.

    You can't blame anyone but the developers.

     

    I can agree with this, I was just trying to state that they very well knew that first impressions mattered.

    Fuck knows.

    Hence why one of my posts mentioned First impressions count.

    They had their chance and totally fucked it. 

    When you're given rope to climb down a cliff and its too short, you wont have the strength to climb back up and its a long way down......... just saying!! :O.o xD

     

    Well considering that the main reason for a lot of the delays were that they knew that first impressions count, I'd believe it's more our fault than theirs. I understand that there is a lot of controversy, but had it not been for us getting pissy for release and had we been patient. We might've gotten the game later, but it would've been in a better stance.

    How about this for a piece of understanding. If at the moment, there were to be a closed alpha (this is alpha btw), then they would not receive any new players. If it does take them until 2020 to release the actual beta, and they are not able to make any more money off of this game, because I'm very certain that players wouldn't wanna buy a game they have to wait two years to get into, then how are they going to continue development. I understand your frustration with there being a promised closed alpha, but riddle me with. With a low amount of players, and the players that are done with the game already leaving. How're they going to fund, find bugs, and develop this game.

    They just released the Steam keys to everyone who has purchased this game. This goes to show how the majority of people who complain about this game never actually stay updated or check what's going on before posting these unnecessary topics.

    The delay is unfortunate, for sure. We at Asylum feel it more than most and we hated to do this, but it's necessary.

    First impressions are the only ones that matter. We have to be sure that when we release the Town Square, server issues and the like are minimal.

    The only thing we'd ever said regarding the previous date was that we were "on schedule", which was true. It would have been very tight, though.

    Moving forward, this new date is only one month longer but that gives our developers time to make sure things are done right and not rushed.

     

    One thing that simply does worry me though is that this game will be released and be stuck in Early Release hell for the longest time like Rust, DayZ, and many other games. What I see fit, however this not being my choice, is to get the game released and continue allowing pledgers to pay for a module pass for the next month and release hotfix after hotfix patching the game as much as possible, simply so that funding will rise as well as the community can calm down a bit about the huge scam issue. Right now, if the game is in a playable state, I think it'd be time to release and just allow players to know that the game is at the least truthfully in development. Players are okay with a few bugs in games, as long as they're hastily fixed. First impressions are important yes, but you can't be focused on being a perfectionist when it comes to this game. It will have issues and continuously delaying the game in hopes to put out the perfect game on release will only cause a loss in hype and player support. I want the best for the game, I'm not downing the game, simply putting in my personal opinion on the stance of the game and community at the moment.

    I truly don't understand the argument of "It's coming out -vs- It's a scam". Like if you think it's a scam then leave? You've tried your best convincing people of your opinion, but if they don't believe you... they don't believe you. The truth cannot be told, it can only be realized, and this is not me stating the game will not release, because I in fact have very high hopes that it will indeed be released sometime in March. However, I see it virtually pointless to argue over this trying to persuade the developers to what...? say it's a scam. Like I don't understand the main goal of this complaining. It's like you just want to complain. Say for instance, the developers are scamming, you think that if you continuously yell on a forum post they're gonna come out and be like, "Oh no, you got us. All that complaining, you really caught us. We're sorry, but thanks for the million." I just don't see the point. 

     

    I understand the frustration point of view, it's a genre changing game that would be incredible if it releases and would be so much fun and enjoyable to play, but that's just the thing... it's not out. Until it's out, it's not out. I can't complain about being broke and expect to see a pile of cash at my doorstep the next morning. I believe we just need to realize that arguing is not accomplishing anything and truly all that we can do is wait to see the result of this game. Maybe it is a scam, and I can be proved wrong, but until it's proven-all we have is evidence that a small team of developers are taking on a project that's insanely massive and being subjected to push out content and estimates they feel unrealistic to please and non-please able community. I mean seriously, you all complained for 3 weeks that we're, "never gonna get a video-it's just going to be delayed forever", and you were proven wrong-then decided to complain about how short it was or how it wasn't set to your standards.

     

    * Drop your expectations, if it releases-it does. If you don't feel like waiting-leave. Simple as I can put it *

    I joined 2/2017 and starting to feel the release will never come

    There are many members that joined Late 2016 that are still thriving for the game. I personally have been waiting on the game since around November and have not really had much of an issue with it taking forever. We've seen what's happened when other games are rushed out, we definitely don't want that.

    I agree, I have always been on the side that the game will come out, but before the recent improvements I was quickly losing interest in the fact that it would be coming out this year. I'm extremely glad that they're improved their community-relationship. I thoroughly look forward to the future this game holds!

    Okay, so, I did pre-order the game, it sounds really fun.. It does, but does it sound realistic? I mean, a game, where you can do practically ANYTHING, even watch real movies in the theatres? I mean, come on, even Rockstar games would have a difficult time creating this. And the people that are are a newly(ish) formed group running on so only so much money.I think it will be a fun game, but I think they are over their heads a little, I hope my opinion is wrong, but, I wouldn't get my hopes too high.

    Actually watching really movies in theaters isn't really that big of a task. I would like to inform you that they're not new movies.. they're quite old movies that don't include any copyright actions to use. From there it's just having those movies in the files and being able to call and put them onto specific platforms. I see that you're new to the forum, so I would recommend looking around and learning more about the diverse game and development skills the developers actually acquire before talking about it being impossible, because it's actually not all that difficult. It's just simple game code, yes it's a lot, but it's nothing Rockstar couldn't do. I'm not sure if you know this or not, but Grand Theft Auto V actually does have the option to watch shows, movies, news, etc. So obviously you don't know much about game development haha. No salt, just honesty.

     

    Have a wonderful day, if you need anything else feel free to message me.

    I still find it so amusing that people want to continuously rant about all the things we're not seeing. Again, as I've stated in many of the rebuttals to all the stupid "the game is a scam" comments -- this team HAS developed a released add on before. Now while you're saying, oh it's just an add on, they didn't have to make the assets or anything for the game, just easy development work. No, it proves to us that they get things done. Now any of you can say that the game is a scam, and you never know -- that might be the case, but I highly doubt it. The developers have been really trying to give us what we want without spoiling the game at the same time. We've seen screenshots of in-game models, buildings, areas, vehicles -- and while I understand they're pretty old videos -- in-game footage. Now I think we'll be fine waiting until the supposed "Mid July - Early August" to see if it actually comes out. Now again I know that I'm going to get people sitting here like, "oh they're just gonna delay it again". If you've read the Dev Blog #007, you would have read that they state, they only have to finish the coffee building and clothes store and then they're just doing finishing touches and it's done. Now with a hard working team like Asylum, I doubt that will take much time. Let's just relax and see.

     

    TL;DR - Games coming out, we have info, stop your f*cking complaining and just be patient.

     

    Sorry if I offended anyone, I kinda don't care. All the complainers are beginning to get very tedious and annoying.

    Yikes first of all you trying to trivialize gender by calling yourself a microwave as a joke invalidates your argument. That isn't a fair comparison and it just makes you look foolish, no offense. 

    Secondly, that is a single definition from one source. Check out dictionary.com for a few others. 

    Third, your own definition specifically states that it's typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones so I'd just like to point out that if we're being honest about it, gender is a social construct and by that definition basically all genders are 'fake', two of them are just more popular than the others because the people who created them forced them into dictionary definitions like this. I mean when you think about it what in this world truly has meaning that one person didn't make up at some point? 

    Here's the thing. . . the only reason the sex of a person is important at all is for medical reasons. What's the harm of letting people identify as what they feel comfortable with? Not to mention the fact that there are nonbinary people documented well back in history so it's not as if it's just some new trend that people started making up. The idea of being nonbinary has gone around for centuries.

    And I don't know why you seem to think that anyone who is nonbinary thinks that it makes them cool. Maybe they seem more confident to you because they've finally found a label that makes them comfortable as a person and that's what you're seeing? I mean I really don't think nonbinary people have any interest in being unique I'm fairly certain that they'd be thrilled if every person in the world was nonbinary. 

    Microwave and Attack helicopter or whatever aren't genders. They're cruel and simple jokes used to try to shame and silence nonbinary people and even if you did not intend this to be an attack or hateful, it very much comes off that way. But 'Male' and 'Female' aren't really genders either. They're sexes. If you open up a sociology book from this century sociologists have made it very clear that gender and sex are two completely different things and society made the mistake in deciding, somewhere along the way, that everyone should use them as synonyms. Or maybe at one point they were considered that but the world grows and we learn new things and we have learned that they aren't the same thing at all. It's very simple--if you aren't a boy or a girl (the two binary genders) then what are you? You're not a microwave or any other inanimate object. You're simply nonbinary.

    I've tried to say this in the simplest terms I was able to so if you're still unable to understand it, I sadly do not believe I will be able to help anymore and I feel if you ask for sources or anything that you could easily research on your own, it would be  not be genuine and just an attempt to 'win' from you, if that makes sense? I'm sorry if you truly do want to learn about this but the way you stated your previous post doesn't really seem like it.

    I'm only typing out this response in hopes that other people will see it and maybe understand it or nonbinary people will see it and feel a little bit better that someone is sticking up for them but if you truly do care about 'facts' I'd really appreciate some actual research on your part that would be a cool change of pace. 

    Anyways, I'll leave you with this. If there are only two genders, what gender do you expect an intersex person who relates to both the girl gender and the boy gender to identify as? Because there is a nonbinary gender for that and biologically they could be considered male or female. I don't need an answer to that question I just want you to answer it honestly to yourself. 

    Thank you, have a good night. I really have no intention to upset anyone with this I just want to spread some information that I know a lot of people are lacking based on a sociological perspective :)

    Someone who likes both sexes wouldn't identify as a gender. That's something different. The only genders there are is boy and girl. You liking a specific one doesn't make you a different gender. it just means you're different. I seriously don't think it should matter who likes who (and I'm straight. No random gender liking shit, just the reg. Boy and Girl.). But the fact that there are sso many different like ways of "what you like" is stupid. It's just like the phobias out there, there are a bunch of pointless stupid ones. Kinda related to this.

     

    ;) i'm enjoying this arguement. You're a good writer.

    I stand corrected in what it is they are putting the finishing touches on.  I agree another week is not much time for them to wait considering the size of the game and what this module actually contains (basically the framework for everything still to come).  I wouldn't be concerned if it was another month if we're being honest.  It just means the product we get will be even better!

    Agreed! :D

    There are 2 sexes not 2 genders. Male and female are sex (penis/vagina). Gender is defined by who you identify yourself as a person.

    So you're saying... that if I want, I can go around saying, "I HAVE A CHEMICAL IMBALANCE IN MY BRAIN SO THAT MAKES ME A GAY MICROWAVE". And did you just say that sex and gender are two different things? Speaking of two things... gender :D! The dictionary definition of "gender" is as follows; 

    gen·der
    ˈjendər/
    noun
     
    1. 1.
      the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones).
      "traditional concepts of gender"
      synonyms: sex
      "variables included age, income, and gender"

     

    As you can see, "the state of being male or female". Along with the synonym of "sex". There are two genders. Simple as that. There are plenty of other ways to be unique if that's what you're trying to do. Being flying mailbox doesn't make you cool. Sorry.

     

    Sorry if I offended anyone, just stating cold hard facts ;)

    The Town Square module is delayed by 6 months and counting. This topic has been up before, and almost everybody agreed on one thing:

    That the developers have to publish anything they got, before this forum loses interest and the hype disappears.

    This first module should be the "social" one, and I feel like it will be veeery boring to watch the same 6 movies, doing karaoke, talking to people and going to the museum over and over again. I think the devs could keep people's interest in the first module by releasing anything now, and update it frequently. That way we as consumers would also have our say and opinion heard, to maybe influence the game. Just my opp ;)

    From the most recent Dev Blog, number seven, it states that they're currently putting the finishing touches on the game (They're finishing the clothes and coffee shop). While I understand that it might be nice to release the game now, but would you rather wait another week or have to play with a glitchy map... give them time. They do update us, just not as frequently as everyone so deeply wants. How often do we get updates from bigger gaming comapnies like Treyarch? not every day... not every week... maybe once a month. Which is way less than what we already have. The developers stream every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and answer questions, show parts of the game. I just say that we stop complaining once and for all and be patient, because complaining about not getting enough updates isn't gonna change anything. Has it so far? over the past 3+ months people have been complaining? no... it hasn't. So there's no point. I know this one post won't stop the ignorant people that continue to complain they're not receiving enough updates... but come on, this is getting to a very ridiculous point. I want the game out just as much as the rest of you, but you don't see me complaining on every forum post related to the release.

     

    Sorry if I offended anyone, you've been offending me for months ;)

    I just hope it's not another No man's sky.

    Well considering that the developers of Identity have had past proof of game (additions) accomplishments, I believe that they will prevail very easily in their endeavors to complete the game. Altas Life was a very very very very very good addition to Arma 3, I doubt they'll fail us with this game.

    TBH Town square will keep me satisfied till the full release.

    Well, as far as I know, we will kinda be "slowly updated" to the full release. It's not like we're going to be playing with simply what's released along with Town Square until S.W.A.T. We'll be slowly updated into S.W.A.T. So like it'll be weekly / monthly updates. It's amazing!

    This thread was created to cast a poll of the general idea of what members believe will be the release era. I understand there have been few threads released like this, but I would just like to take another poll after the recent release of "Dev Blog #007" (not officially listed under Dev Blogs, to view see HERE). In the blog, it states that they have very few things to finish before Town Square release, leading me to change my beliefs upon the release. I personally believe that sometime within the next month we will see the debut of this game (hopefully). What's you're opinion? Fill out the poll above!
