Might shock some people, but, I'd be okay with it.
I've said all along that I wish they had done parallel development...then each gaming platform could have the best version of the game that their "machine" could handle.
You guys on PC only really get close to THAT from adding mods...imo.
Two months ago Joel said they were going to put out an updated road map...a month ago faatal said that they were going to change the naming system. sorry, but, I think telling us that they will tell us "in due time" what the new plan is...is asking too much.
What does 3.0 this year even mean...
Without belabouring the same arguments...Bandits are a year late already. The Devs are vaguely talking about timelines that extend out LONGER THAN IT HAS ALREADY TAKEN...and they'll let us know...in a few more months. My patience is already too thin.
when/if/how? the game is already "late"...you can't really have it both ways... where you tell me the sandbox was the work of one guy and didn't interfere with Bandits at all, but, Bandits, which ARE a year late...well...they are coming this summer or in the next 2 years...we'll tell you guys...
I don't even think I am really being impatient....about this part. lol
Joel said two months ago that they were going to update the roadmap...a month ago (roughly) faatal said that they are abandoning the "old" name/numbering system. Is it really asking too much for them to put that info out NOW...
Is it? ask him what HE meant yourself. To me it read like he was referring to the "old" 3.0 and 4.0
So while you consider my post to be deliberately obtuse, I am pointing out that "we" don't know...and there's no need for it. The v3.0 sandbox obviously won't require a new game...it is a...
numbers or letters...if they just explained What they are doing and Why... most people would adjust. imo. but, that info will only come "in due time"? When is that?
TFP already burned thru the time they said it would take... and just casually mentioned it will take another 22 months to get what...
I think you are trying to help...it isn't. sorry
When you say that "it was only called 1.0 to please Sony and Microsoft) I take what you are saying to mean that they lied...just to get it on console. That implies to me, that you are saying, I shouldn't have had any faith in the road map or the...
trying to get brownie points from the forum dwellers?
Do I have to agree with every little thing they say in order to be grateful for the "communication"?
I don't believe them because they have given me no reason to believe they can meet self imposed deadlines...even one as vague as "this...
"they" didn't...yet.
@faatal has said that they are changing the numbering/naming convention
I've asked them to clarify THAT, but, so far nothing...except they posted a little glimpse of the sandbox preview....which says that it is v3.0
i am quite aware that 3.0 was supposed to be Bandits...
