Once again another reminder why I don't buy games at launch.
Well, this and the near-$100 price that most AAA's are launching at now.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody.
And tha is why 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.

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.
I thought this game had been out for years
It's been out on playstation for a while, but it just now released on PC.
I had it on GameCube
Yeah but he PC port just came out yesterday, I think.
This is a little sad. Both SM1 and MM were great on release day for me. Got the right when they came out and they both lead with great reviews out of the box.
Hopefully this is something they can fix pretty quickly. I want to play as a Symbiote, dammit!
Super Mario 1 and Megan Man both were great on release!
