YES! Fucking finally!

Early last year I enjoyed the hell out of this EA/EACC whatever. I hope I haven't bled it dry already. What I also hope:

1) Full story;
2) Better visuals inside the crashed ship;
3) Some more deep-deep areas.

I haven't explored everything so hope #3 might be moot.

Other than the above, not much hoping to see improved from the early 2016 state. Can't wait!

Wow, they must be serious since they announced dates or months or a area of time for release about 3 times last year.

Good game overall when I played it last year despite some dumb changes they made mid year to the sub. They reversed those though.

On 7 Days. The reason I want it live, so there isn't anymore forces server resets. Mods that don't immediately break, since they will hold Mod compatibility on release. Sure there is fun and lots of it, but it just needs to go final now.

After playing this quite a bit a couple years ago, I promised myself not to get into it again until it was finished, so I could experience it fresh again. It's such a good game, and by the creators of Natural Selection/2, if anyone here has played or still plays that (I still get a round or two in weekly). I've only played the start of Subnautica since my first playthrough, on hardcore (permadeath) mode to test that portion of the game, as it is all I will probably play after going through the whole thing once, and not many people were playing/testing that mode.

Excellent news that this is having a full release soon! It's such an atmospheric and immersive game. One of my favorite experiences in gaming over the past 2 years.

Well of course I mean EA and not EA. Fuck EA, and most EA as well. Especially EA from EA. I've still found going in on most EA to be a mistake, especially the aforementioned EA from EA. Yet, some EA, like this, is good EA. I hope that clarifies things.

Well, thanks for EAing that up! Also, I fully agree, fuck EA, and EA from EA, but not all EA. Some EA are pretty good. But not EA of course, or EA from EA.

Yeah I am looking forward to the full release. It's a great game, lots of fun. I'm hoping they continue to add stuff to the game too.

I think there are already plans for an expansion pack that adds an arctic area.

LOL--not happening and they have been upfront about it since day 1.

These are two EA games I'm actually glad to support.

I immediately took to Steam to make sure - it seemed very strange to me that EA would support such games, and that they would be good if they belong to EA. It took me a moment or two... Early Access.

I think it's best to try and find a different abbreviation to this phrase. Saying that both those games are "EA" nearly gave me a heart attack. I don't know the other game mentioned, but Subnautica looks to be REAL good. I watched Markiplier play it, there really seems to be a lot of thought and care put into this game (so, big shame if EA ruins it ).

This really needs coop.

Afaik they abandoned all plans for coop very early in the dev process.

Question: will this go up in price when it leaves EA or will it remain the same?

I don't really like survival games, but I absolutely loved this. I played it in Fall of 2015 when it was still early in early access, but it still ended up being one of my favorite games that year.

I've been sitting on it, waiting for the full retail release to play it again.

Me too. It's been difficult staying away but I really want to experience it fully complete. Same with Ghost of a Tale. These are two EA games I'm actually glad to support.

I can highly recommend 7 days to die.

When it is finally released.

Nah, I recommend it now. I would have recommended it 2 years ago also. The game has enough content to last you for hundreds of hours. The fact that it's still in EA and that they consistently release huge patches that basically warrant a full replay is a bonus.

Edit: But yeah, it shouldn't be in EA anymore.

Agreed, 7DTD is a great game that keeps getting better, with high replayability. I've been playing it since Alpha-5 with over 1,100 of my life lost in this game. However, it has become more grindy with each Alpha release/update via gated perks, skills, items, etc. The game comes with a random generated map option, so each playthrough the map is completely different/fresh.

The developers are very active with community, are continually releasing updates and improvements, and now they are working on updating to A17 release. It is one of the most, if not THEE, most interactive game out there.

Good, now I can play from start to finish. During EA, any time I would start a new game, I would come back to play more, after not playing for a while, and have to start a new game again due to another patch/update and the previous saved game would not be compatible with latest release.

Been waiting for this day, hope they clean up the VR a little bit on this release as well.
