This one is nice too.
♥♥♥♥ game, getting a refund
2. Performance is terrible on a beastly Sapphire Tri-X Fury.
3. Graphics and artifacts of weird light popping,
4. Clunky experience overall, combat is terrible, matchmaking doesn't work
5. Every NPC in the marketplace gives you the text' Do you want to be a weaponsmith?"
6. Oh by the way guys, enjoy the first major bug. Loading splash screen with UI elements. You won't get to load the game world.
This thread is pretty popular lots of people agree with this pissed off gentleman.
There is no reason to take my word for it. I am just trying to enlighten people to the issues we face today. The more people who buy into this early access bs the more games will try to launch in early access. These days its honestly hard to find a game on steam that IS NOT early access. Why? Because its easy. Advertise something that appeals to the masses. Sugar coat your plans with a bunch of pretty words and make it look like you intend to take "player feedback and suggestions". When in reality their only intent is to sell you garbage that will keep you occupied long enough that you cant request a refund. Scam of the century.
That's all I have to say. Buy the game and enlighten yourselves.
Complaints about graphics, matchmaking being problematic (in a game where everyone is a noob anyway)... etc.. the load screen issue..come on, how many games have released with such a problem? Numerous (those were full blown retail releases.)
Obviously the game has issues, but none of them seem all that bad.. And it's a game in early access. WHy folks buy something that tells them upfront don't buy if you don't want to experience issues, complain about having issues I will never know...

Everything now is Early Access. Why? Why bother spending extra months/years finishing and polishing your game when people will buy it bare-bones? And, on top of buying it, many will defend the mess you published because it's "still Early Access". Even though alot of these games are in Early Access for years.
It's the exact same thing as paying to get into a Beta, only without the commitment/need to improve it like a Beta; it's already in a store being sold. People have already bought the game, so alot of those creators aren't going to put in the effort needed to fully complete it to a so-called "release" state.
I've seen Steam remove a few games here and there for being so shoddy and incomplete they are unplayable. But, there's no deadlines or rules on Early Access products, as far as I'm aware. It's basically a loophole in the system.
Granted, some developers actually do improve the game from Early Access and push for a real release, but it's a heck of alot like Kickstarter; it's a complete roll of the dice.
Game looks like it could be fun, hope they get it polished before its too late.
"This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development."
This is plastered across the store front for every single one of these games. I don't need a 2 word review from someone too lazy to write an actual thought or explanation, to tell me this...It's already said by the devs and steam itself... Redundancy is redundant.

But, the point still stands that is basically a loophole in the system that is encouraging poor standards. You can literally publish a barely functional product so long as you label it "Early Access" and then never touch it or patch it again.
If you launch an incomplete product without that "Early Access" tag, it's taboo and Steam will take action and remove it if there's enough complaints. However, slap that EA ambassador tag on it and suddenly you have immunity.
TBH, alot of what's going on with Steam is marring their own image as much as it is the developers of said shoddy games. They really need to have some type of hard limits on Early Access and similar things. Steam has basically become the Slumlord of stores.
Edit:
Edit 2: watching the stream but it looks really buggy. Major desync issues and rubberbanding. Screen tearing.
