AP is still fairly old, although it's an expansion pack it's not recent, it doesn't make x3 feel "fresh".Cornflakes_91 wrote:AP is the most recent expansion pack of X3, thoughBlack--Snow wrote:Feeling "fresh" is not something I care about at all. That's a really odd argument for promoting DLC because it's 250% subjective. X3 doesn't feel fresh to me at all, but I still happily play Albion Prelude with more enthusiasm than the 'fresher' X: rebirth.(whichs base version is over a decade old by now ._. )
(And XR is simply a different game which broke for the largest part with the previous X games, so its not entirely fair to compare those)
Having more of something afterwards is hardly ever a negative thing. Even paid DLC, once the base game is 100% complete is never really a bad thing.Black--Snow wrote:Feeling "fresh" is not something I care about at all.

It's not a bad thing to add new stuff, it is a bad thing to postpone part of the game until later just because you can. I like when games are updated at least semi-regularly, it makes the game feel different when you know it's still an active game and not forgotten.Zanteogo wrote:Having more of something afterwards is hardly ever a negative thing.

Now again, having a 100% of the promised features in a LT day one release is OF COURSE preferable, though might not be realistic. However, even if this happens, having extra stuff added though out the years (and so making it "fresh") is hardly a bad thing.
My understanding was that Josh was always planning to release a feature complete LT 1.0. Other than some not promised features like player faction control and players owning planets.Black--Snow wrote:It's not a bad thing to add new stuff, it is a bad thing to postpone part of the game until later just because you can.

Originally with LT I was skeptical about Josh's whole "barebones at launch but more later" philosophy but it seems he's scrapped that one now and is going for gold.

It was some of the members here who have recently sugggested that a feature complete LT 1.0 might not be realistic. Myself it was due to the last two years being almost all sideways development and knowing that the crowd funding money must be starting to get dry.

Player faction control was like 25% of the appeal of LT for me. :V
Ugh, I was meaning to say unpromisded or not promised, it was autocorrected I guess.Black--Snow wrote:"Unpromising"?Zanteogo wrote:
