Is it worth it? I know it's $20 but I'd rather not end up spending another $20 on a waste of money (for example, cube world, having not been updated in like 7 months, and still in alpha...)



Watch TotalBiscuit's review. Made me not buy it.
Yup, not buying. Good review to watch in terms of gameplay

To be honest, that game is not my cup of tea, but if you like it, go ahead and buy it. I had this same problem with Starbound, I was stuck with the "And what if its not worth it?"

If you like the appeal of it, go ahead and buy it.

I will never understand why there is a Games section and yet people constantly post game-related discussions in OT

Theres also already a Banished thread in Games if you would have looked. Anyway the game is fun, Id recommend it.

I liked the appeal of cube world
lags like forget, no patches, no updates, $20 and not ANY progress in 7 months, not even a news update saying that the dev was still alive.

So no, I'm not going to buy it on appeal, I want opinions on how the game plays and functions, how buggy it is, etc.

Off Topic is the do-all-know-all sub-topic. I don't even bother with the other off topics aside from Drama from time to time. Simply just not worth the effort in my opinion, but since you've pointed it out I'll go take a peek

Posting in the wrong section intentionally will get you banned. Don't.

By appeal I meant everything, including how frequent updates are, minimum pc specs, and active developers, including gameplay and framerate.

It's off topic, it's not the wrong section
best section? No. But it still fits the criteria. I'm not posting a gallery of images from BL, so I'd imagine it's not a problem.

Edit:
Apparently Badspot disagrees and moved the topic...
Now I feel stupid. :I
