Do you support "Early Access" games?

[Kraedax]

I ask because I have recently purchased the early access game "Layers of Fear", and have been showing it on my channel. I have only played around 30 minutes of it so far, but I feel that this may have been the best $12.99 I have ever spent!

What do you guys think?

Depends on the game. I had purchase an early access for SOTA and so far they had delivered. Not only that, they are doing updates every month.

I have plenty of early access games... some are really good!

Sometimes I even support kickstarter games, that's really cool cause they will add your name to the credits of the game!

Problem is the game may never even come out... lol

Either way I love the idea of supporting startup game developers... as long as they have a good idea, and some good work to show for themselves I'll often take a chance...

 

[Kratos Aurion]

Not really. I want to see a finished game. If they make you pay for early access the developers may have an excuse to get lazy and never finish the game.

I like early access games, especially the ones that are handled well.

Personally I think it's nice how game development companies allow some users to have access to the game early and provide feedback for funding its development. It's a win-win!

When I see early access titles that look promising and match my taste, I usually consider purchasing a copy.

I don't mind the idea behind it, I do mind the amount of rubbish games put into the market into greenlight / early access. Games without working mechanics and so forth. The well done ones are fine though

I like it when developers put out there stuff for testing. It gives me a chance to play how many times I can break the game. There are usually optimization issues that occur but that's part of it being an early access game. Which is amusing to see people write in the reviews about it as if the game was a full completed release.

I don't mind early access, however as others have pointed out, I also can't stand the crap games they put out all the time. What is even worse is when they tell you they are going to do this and that .. and just about everything they said never happens.

Early Access games were "popularized" two/two and a half years ago. Then, every single day I login into my Steam account, I was "presented" with a message from some publisher trying to offer me early access games to test and help to develop. I've never had any, until Dirt Rally comes out. I'm a HUGE fan of rally (we here, in Portugal, do really like two major sports; football - which I hate!! - and rally), and I decided I want to have and test out this new Dirt game since day 0. I did so, and I'm not disappointed, not a bit! I do think we, as gamers, should be part of this develop stage of games. World is much more "connected" than 10 years ago. Gosh, world is much more connectec than 6 months ago! I'm 23 years old and I remember quite well that, when I was 5 or 6, I wish I could talk and have some friends from around the world. Now we can just go to YouTube, post a comment and make friends! Is incredible how small the world is nowadays, and I love it!

So, I think that's quite incredible we, as gamers, can actually be part of the development of our favourite games. When I think about it, I know it's an honor to me to help this big companies.

I will only support games than not only show potential, but support it with regular updates and good optimization.

I will not support something that was thrown together over a weekend.

 

[MG MODZ]

good

 

[TheCookieWolf]

I support it because it gives the chance of the people that are waiting for the game [because the trailer or because it continues from a previous game], can enjoy it before time...But the only bad part is that, if it have bugs or a bad Multiplayer server, the person should wait several time to play it well

 

[NoDragonsPlz]

It depends if they actually have enough content or not.

 

[HippoZoned]

I bought day z and Ark, these games are decent but I don't think day z will ever be finished, and ark they dont work on the core gameplay, only add more Dino's and what not when the game needs a lot more work

So while I'll buy them, I don't like the risk that is involved

Depends but yea sometimes early acces is nice to get a vieuw and taste of what to expect. Only problem afterwards is when your playing and it really is awesome and you have to wait months for the release xD
