When the industry “overhires” how come games are always shipped with 3/4 of the promised features and buggy as hell?

A friend recommended Medieval Dynasty. It has a few bugs, but overall I’ve been addicted like I haven’t been for a long time. “Have been” addicted because after 60 hours the initial rush does get dimmer, but I still like playing the game.

You live in a medieval world, where you settle down and build your own village, chopping wood, hunting, gathering, farming and mining. You can also convince hobos to settle in your village and help you with chores.

The story has you finding out what happened to your uncle after he left. You find out he has led an astonishing life via lots of funny conversations with his former friends. The game has quest dialogue you actually want to read. Cudos to that alone.

Here we go again.

What did you think this was – with 3750 hours of playtime on record?

Thanks for the reply.

[…Y]ou hear Dr. Breen welcoming you to City 17 over large screens, see everyone wearing plain blue jumpsuit, watch them get their food from a dispensary, see a massive creature accompany troops down the street.

And I liked that! It looked like a Sci-Fi dystopia and I wanted to learn more about it. But then there was no follow-up. Just fighting endless hordes of enemies. That was very disappointing.

I got half life (2?) in a bundle with Portal and didn’t understand at all what the fuss was about. After the introduction, it’s running and gunning through a building, then running and gunning through sewers, then running and gunning through more buildings, then running and gunning through a street, then running and gunning in a swamp, then driving a hovercraft, then running and gunning some more, and that’s where I stopped playing.

When’s the last time you played an indie game?

Like literally every other company. That doesn’t make it right, but still… there’s more criticism to be had specifically about SpaceX.

It’s also how the NPCs pose regularly in Cyberpunk.

I’d feel bad using the Tor network for everyday browsing. I think it should be reserved for people who really need it to protect themselves.
