[quote]I'd agree with your wholeheartedly if this were a bargain or indie-priced game... not something that's supposedly ready according to Brad (while not being the case) while set at a AAA pricepoint.[/quote] It'll cost you 50 bucks now, or 50 bucks six months from now when it's a much better game. Actually with an earlier release it'll probably hit the bargain bin that much sooner, if you're really concerned about the pricing from a customer perspective.

While Elemental was certainly released before it was really finished, here's how I see it: I could buy it now, and have a half broken game to fiddle around with while they finish it and turn it into a great game in a couple of months. Or, they could have taken a couple of months to really polish it and release it then. Either way, I'll have a great game in a couple of months, but at least now I have something to mess around with if I want that option. Other developers usua

Subscriptions for this are a terrible idea. Paying for new content is what expansion packs are for. I bought this game new, even after having read the reviews and understanding that it really wasn't done yet, because I have faith in Stardock that it'll be up to snuff eventually so I might as well get it now. If it were subscription, I'd wait six months first, if I bought it at all.

The armor descriptions don't do a very good job of specifying what they are strong against, if anything.

I'm seeing this too. Same game version.
