NOW only it's finished? When did it become normal for these companies to release half finished trash and use their paying customers as beta testers?

"Finished" as in "no more content", not "reached 1.0 state".
Not too long after Minecraft blew up and they saw that people would willingly pay to play shit that's not finished.
That's one game that I never got into the hype train with and still haven't got around to trying, even though it looks like it's right up my alley. So I might be mistaken but wasn't Minecraft originally an indie effort? I don't like it but I can understand and appreciate giving indie devs support while they're still working on things a lot more than paying the mega corporation for the privilege of being a beta tester.
Yeah, it was an indie thing, but it was also one of the first huge success stories from crowdfunding/early access, too. So in typical game's industry fashion, they copied it; but only the parts that make them more money for less effort.
I never played it after the terrible reviews and after seeing the ugly busy ui/damage splatter. It especially hurt as a fan of the Rocksteady batman games and huge DC comics fan. Did the updates help? Is it better? Worth a play?
No, it's a dying/dead live service game. Save your money and time
It's free on PS Plus already and I still can't be bothered lol
I felt like Shadow of Mordor was a decent spiritual successor, and while I haven't played Shadow of War it seems like more of the same. Same combat style as the Arkham games.
The recent Insomniac/Sony Spider-Man games also had a similar combat style.
If you're absolutely set on playing it I'd say there's a fairly good chance it shows up in Humble Choice within the next year or so.
Sounds like a great reason to cancel my Humble subscription
Actually, I just got it for free from my Playstation plus membership, one of this month's free downloads. Just wasn't sure if it was even worth my time
I'll miss Concord.
