Your pre-release wall of shame

DF-DEFENSE FORCE!

Hey, it should be the opposite of a tiresome exercise in ADD considering you should have most things automated.

I try to avoid early release stuff but have still ended up with a few.

Endless Legend
Dungeon of the Endless
Starbound
Planetary Annihilation
Offworld Trading Company

Barely played any of them, since I wait for release for that sort of thing, but I did really enjoy what I played of Starbound and Dungeon of the Endless.

Galactic Civilizations III
Rebuild:Gangs of Deadsville
Invisible, Inc.
Sunless Sea
Ultimate General:Gettysburg
Buzz Aldrin’s Space Program Manager
Kerbal Space Program
Making History:The Great War
Star Ruler 2
Plague Inc. Evolved
Endless Legend
Dungeons of the Endless
Legends of Isenwald

Not to mention the two games I’m officially beta testing: Sovereignty and The Witcher Board Game

And that, dear friends, is why I’m trying to wean myself off of Early Access

7 Days to Die
Assetto Corsa
Craft The World
Elite Dangerous
Gnomoria
Grim Dawn
Kerbal Space Program
Paragon
Planet Explorers
Prison Architect
Project Zomboid
Starbound
Starpoint Gemini 2
Sunless Sea
Under the Ocean

Can’t say I’m too unhappy with any of these purchases but I will be happier when at least one of them hits release!

Does Skullgirls count? :U

I have a few early-access things I’ve gotten keys for over the years (either from bundles I bought for other things or from friends giving away random keys), but I haven’t installed any of them. In general, I’m not interested in playing things before they’re finished and fully released, especially since I already have too many things to play now.

I keep early access developers in business!

Steam says its still in early access, so I updated my list. :p

I have quite the healthy list of un-released games. A couple are betas, and not really early access, but I keep them all in a separate folder, so here it is:

Salvation Prophecy
Age of Decadence
Castle Story
Folk Tale
Dungeon Dashers
Starforge Alpha
Nuclear Throne
War for the Overworld
Starbound
Rim World
Antisquad
Steam Bandits
Landmark
Hex
Prison Architect
Steam Marines
Kenshi
Fight the Dragon
Jagged Alliance Flashback
Godus

Craft the World
Grim Dawn
Edge of Space
Planet Explorers
Arche Age
Ziggurat
Clockwork Empires
Hand of Fate
The Escapists
Adventure Manager
The Golf Club
(just released I believe)

I feel better now.

I have lots, though my propensity these days to spend on anything early-access is greatly reduced. I tend to just wishlist it now, unless there is reports of something quite solid there already and it is getting good buzz.

Starbound
Elite Dangerous
Gnomoria
Towns
Project Zomboid
Kerbal Space Program
Sunless Sea
Assetto Corsa
Craft the World
Grim Dawn
Clockwork Empires
Project Eternity
Wasteland 2

Paradise Lost
Cube World
Crypt of the Necrodancer

There are probably others…

Currently:
GalCiv3
Yatagarasu

too many to count of others in the past

If my time spent on Craft the World counts, I’ve gotten about 4 games worth out of money spent on that one already.

I think these are all pre-releases (in one form or another, kickstarter, etc):

Endless Space

Dungeon of the Endless

Stonehearth
Worlds of Magic
Battle Worlds: Kronos
At the Gates

Looking at your screenshot and list, its like you aren’t even trying!

Only other pre-release / kickstarted games I’ve bought after I made this list were:
Factorio
BATTLETECH
For The King
Battle Chasers: Nightwar
Divinity: Original Sin 2
Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander
Underworld Ascendant
Shadowrun: Hong Kong RELEASED! and on STEAM!
That Which Sleeps
Ray’s the Dead
Pathologic
Subnautica on STEAM!

I have Ray’s the Dead on my Steam wishlist. Is it still not out?

Nope, but they did put an update on kickstarter earlier this month:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ragtag/rays-the-dead-0/posts/1483959

Progress Update

Though a couple of weeks later than we’d hoped, today we complete our alpha pass of Chapter 4!

Though super rough, this means 80% of Ray’s the Dead is fully intact and playable. This is a very exciting milestone for us! Our next major milestone has us tackling the final chapter of the game, along with a revisit to the intro to the game. The goal is to have this complete during the month of April. Wish us luck!

I’ve backed 17 Kickstarters (and 0 Early Access/Fig/Indiegogos), of which 12 are videogames. Of those, 5 have launched (Pillars of Eternity, Darkest Dungeon, Satellite Reign, Broken Age and Planetary Annihilation). Of the other 7, only Torment: Tides of Numera seems likely (90%+ chance) of releasing in 2016.

Which sucks, cuz I’d love to play The Mandate, That Which Sleeps, Halcyon 6, The Bard’s Tale (damn, lordkosc and I overlap a lot!), Underworld Ascendant, and Star Citizen! Maybe I might even get to, someday :)

I missed this thread when it first came out, but here’s my list

Darkest Dungeon - No regrets about going early-access on this one. I played dozens of hours before release. Now that it’s released, I am slowly making my way through it.

Offworld Trading Company - Eh. I played a few hours but it hasn’t grabbed me yet. We’ll see if it gets better over time.

Starbase DF9 - I actually got my money’s worth out of this thing and they DID add enough new stuff to it over the months that I would drop in, play a few hours and enjoy what was there. I’m disappointed it won’t ever be what was promised though.

Starbound - Again, I reckon I’ve gotten my money’s worth out of the game… I’ve certainly played a lot of hours. I’m not sure if I’ve burned myself out of the game before release or not. Honestly… I was under the impression it was live now.

Defense Grid 2 - DG and DG2 are a couple of my all-time favorite games and DG2 actually got better after release, so I count this as a win.

Kerbal Space Program - I’m going to get more than 5 minutes into this game someday, I swear it.

Prison Architect - I really wanted to like this a lot more than I did.

Mordheim, City of the Damned - I was wary of picking this up EA, but I’m glad I did. I wish I could get more of my buddies to like this game.

Star Citizen - I have faith.

Fractured Space - A friend convinced me to get this, and we could never get it to work on-line. I shoudl check it out again and see where it is.
