View Poll Results: Which best defines your SE:V feelings based on the Demo?
|
SE:V is not ready to be sold. It needs a lot more work to be ready. Selling it now would do more harm than good for customer relations and hurt the overall success. I am willing to wait for a more refined product.

SE:V should not be sold in its current state but could do ok on the market if released now. I'd still rather wait for a more refined game.

SE:V could be sold now with moderate success. Based on Malfador's history of product support, patches will be issued. But I'm worried about the chances of improving the UI with patches. I'd wait to release.

I'm pretty happy with the current state of SE:V. Based on the Demo, it should be sold soon. If patches are released or not, it's a pretty good game. I'm anxious to get the game soon, release it now.

I think the game is good as it stands. I think the issues being raised are minor and can pretty easily be addressed in game as it stands. Most games have minor issues and I'm not complaining. Send it out!

I am completely satisfied with SE:V based on the demo. I don't care if patches are ever released. I don't think the issues being raised by a small number of people represent the silent majority of potential customers. I am very anxious to get this game

Re: SE:V Poll
Very good poll with enough diversity in the possible answers.

Re: SE:V Poll
Except that Ive already bought the game (but would rather not vote that way). And there is also not one for "I think SEV went the wrong direction completely".
I was wondering if it was too soon to poll the question of whether they should be an SEV forum.

Re: SE:V Poll
I pre-ordered it with the SEIV freebie.
(didnt I?)
That makes it already bought, even if not received.

Re: SE:V Poll
I think its really amusing that "SEV should not be released right now" and "Yes, I'd buy it based on the demo" are leading their catagories.

Well I voted that, because I would buy it no matter how bad the state it is released in. Because I know it'll be good in the end. But I wouldnt want to see it released if it is in the state the demo is in right now. Loads and loads of really visible bugs, you can have bugs, but obveous bugs really gotta go before you release, I played the demo for 1 hour yesterday and I found about 4 very obvious bugs. Now depending on what build the demo originated from (it's in general an older build than what will be released)

In other words what "they" are saying is "Love the idea, sounds great, but needs a good deal more polishing before I plunk down my money"
I have to say from all of my readings here I am moving towards this camp - and I really don't want to. But I am growing more and more concerned about what I will be getting for my $. I've had SEIV since it came out, never played the series before that. Very impressive, great support - but I am very concerned about the comments from some of the longer-time players who I understand to be saying that the UI is dodgy, etc. I have little doubt about the richness of the game under the hood - but if it is a click-fest and hard to work with, then that diminishes it overall from my perspective. But I haven't been able to successfully download the demo yet, so I am depending wholly on what I read.

Why would Shrapnel, which no longer publishes SE IV or V, bother to split this forum into separate ones? This forum wouldn't even exist if it didn't generate so much traffic. The only other forum Shrapnel still has for a game it no longer publishes is the Dungeon Odyssey archive.
