Just wondering on people opinions, I've been playing since earlier December and I really enjoy this game, but Im getting so bored of doing the same thing over and over with no new content since December. I'm hoping the best for Rust!

Nope. I am patient and understand that developing a game takes time. If they are still in alpha a year down the line, I'll play something else until they do. (That being said, I've been taking a break from it for a long while since I have over 150 games to choose from, and I need to get my money's worth out of the rest of them
)
-
Yea I'm fine with it. not bothered at all
-
They can take as long as they need - the game's great and will only get better.
-
It's been a long time since I attained the age of 12. I can wait. :)
-
If it is truly an Alpha (which it is) then it should take more than a year to complete.
I would be angrier if they pushed out a terrible bare bones version while calling it the full retail release and stopped development in six months. There are worse things than watching a game develop cough cough WarZ.
-
It's been out for almost a year... What are you talking about...
-
im bored but still playing
-
i want the game to be done in a year, am i too selfish?
-
Yeah, It keeps the game fun too! You never know what to expect in the next update so once its completed it wont be as surprising as it is now.
-
No because early access and testing is the way the industry works now. It's a fact, a cycle of life (and development!). I went through Minecraft from alpha to full release, so here's some other things that are in indefinite development but people still follow and play:
Kerbal Space Program (alpha)
Star Citizen (not even alpha yet)
Space Engineers (alpha)
Star Forge (alpha)
Starbound (beta)
Dwarf Fortress (Alpha since 2006, and STILL being developed)
Prison Architect (alpha)
Elder Scrolls Online (beta)
Renegade X (beta)
Tropico 5 (beta)
FINAL FANTASY XIV: A REALM REBORN (beta)
one more to that list won't matter to anybody
-
I agree...I wouldn't mind it at all.
For one reason they are and have stated from the get go that this is a early stage alpha.
Unlike some games I know ::cough Mechwarrior Online cough:: who have a full release and the game is not even 25% finished. Not to mention, they took people's money in early beta and promised alot of things that still have not come to fruition
-
Star Forge has been in alpha for a while now and the game gets worse looking and more laggy every update. Only game I've seen that takes away good features and replaces them with terrible non-user friendly ones :D And people complain about Rust, a game that actually functions in its current state and creates an actual playable user experience
-
Since there is no measuring to get from one phase to another and as long as they develop new features and fixes.I think that won't be a problem.I think slow and steady process is always better than having a game of full of bugs,glitches and crashes in 1 year.
Starforge failed,it's still in Alpha,game is unplayable for me and my hardware is not bad at all.
X Rebirth is retail too and full of bugs.
-
They can call it alpha for 10 years if they want to, so long as they make reasonable progress and communicate that progress and plan with the community that bought the game.
I would only be mad if I got scammed into buying a an "alpha" that was really just unity demo assets thrown together, and the game was never developed.
-
They can call it "alpha", but as long as there is active development I don't care.
-
If you buy the game in alpha will you have to buy it agian on its official release?
-
Will not matter to me, I have many other games to play, I played rust for about a month hardcore after buying my Xbox one, completely ignored the Xbox one, now I bought a ton more Xbox one games and am taking a break from rust/other PC games.
-
Personally id be mad if it was LESS than a year, i dont think they can fullfill their "dreams" in that timeframe. id rather not have anymore "fully released game" that updates like an alpha *cough* ISS *cough*
that being said, hasnt it almost been a year since the dutch auction started? pretty sure ive been playing roughly 7-8 month, and i bought it when there was about 1100 copys sold.
-
They can and should take as long as they want. Throwing out a game just because the community wants it so bad leads to a bugged game without a single breath of love.
-
I would be fine with it, as long as content and bugfixes come out a bit more frequently.
Garry says to trust him, and I will. He says they are working on a way to have content come out faster, and I'll take his word for it.
If content continues to be 2 new items and a few pretty meager bugfixes per month, I might feel a little annoyed. But Rust is in such a playable state for alpha, they can take their time.
-
As long as current features don't get broken like air drops I'll be good. The weekly features seem good, if anything we'll probably see more new things being implemented during alpha than later on
-
this game will stay like it is basically for ever
they sold 1.000.000 copies purely based on hypeand its not like they sell another 500.000 for fixing bugs or adding new content
time to buy the next alphagame you sheeps!
gogo
-
I think the game is pretty perfect right now besides the hackers but it seems like every game I play lately is riddled with hackers.
-
Idc about the stage of the game its the fact that there has not been an update to add anything new and fun in like 2 months
-
I don't think they plan on retiring and if they did what you suggest they wouldn't sell another game, let alone another copy of Rust.
-
Well the game's been out since February since last year, so you should probably stick to your word.Nope. I am patient and understand that developing a game takes time. If they are still in alpha a year down the line, I'll play something else until they do. (That being said, I've been taking a break from it for a long while since I have over 150 games to choose from, and I need to get my money's worth out of the rest of them)
-
If I had to make a guesstimate based on what I know about the actual development as an outsider and with my industry experience I would say they probably do have about a year to go.
-
A finished game in 1 or 2 yrs, yeah right.
