Patrik Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I'm personally one of those people that say "woah, i wish they kept that character like that, i wish they left that feature in the final game", also some games look even cooler in their beta versions (before the final release). Am i the only one? xd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 No you're not the only one. There have been games in the past that I liked the beta version way more than the final release. I can't remember any off the top of my head, as my memory is a big problem. My neurologist is trying to help me with it. But I do know that there have been several.

Withywarlock Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I was this way with Paladins: Champions of the Realm before they added Viktor, a twitch-shooter character in a game with really high time-to-kill (TTK.) Rather than adjust him to suit the game, Paladins instead changed to suit him. I've not played much since because the TTK is so critically low, and at that moment just became another hero shooter. There's not many betas that impress me much these days because the ones I get involved in tend to be stress tests. The last 'proper' beta I played was for Crowfall. I waited years to get into that only for it to be the most underwhelming MMO experience I'd ever had the displeasure of experiencing. I say MMO, the only massive aspect to it was the waste of time it turned out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lludawg Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Yes I am similar to you. There have been games where I have played the beta and was totally in love with something in it only to find out that in the final game version they modified or completely took out that aspect. They must have their reasons for doing so though I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 A few games in the past but if I'm being honest, most games are released in beta version nowadays. I mean, they come with a ridiculous amount of issues and have to be fixed after the launch date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically, they released an unfinished product and finish it after the launch through patches. Patrik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I’ve played Battlefield Betas for years and I think that it can really show the new gameplay options, and it can show the new gameplay graphics on new weapons, character models, or map models.

Heatman Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Yes, if they screwed up in the final release, then I would definitely prefer to have had them keep the beta version the way it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
