And that is why you don’t buy games until they are heavily discounted and actually finished.

Or at least actually finished, for some reasonable definition of "finished". I'm going to buy Haunted Chocolatier on release and I'd pre-order that given the chance and I never pre-order (I'm actually 1 for 1 on pre orders, I pre ordered Star Trek Voyager Elite Force).

Elite Force was absolutely incredible! Considering you were trapped in like a ship graveyard the variety of environments was pretty impressive. The combat was fun, the story was interesting…could’ve used a little more ship exploration on voyager, though.

That's what the expansion pack added. (Remember expansion packs? Like DLC, but complete?)

[–] Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

Oh I definitely had the expansions, but even then weren’t there only like 2 decks you could visit?

Actually I think I still have the game and the expansion thanks to GoG.

Hey! I had thousands of hours into ST:EF. Even clanned up for that one. Fraggers United!

That's not as reliable as you'd might think.

King's Bounty 2 is on a near permanent 90% sale and the owning company considers it completely done.. and forgotten.

Or there's some weird eternally Early Access games always on a 96% sale, but they've been in an abandoned state for years.
