2:01:35 That poor Kerbal was buried in a coffin one inch high and four miles long.

There’s a lot of good here, but to be honest it feels like they’ve learned nothing over 3+ years of development. The game is atrociously optimized, and I’ve been told rockets with 100 parts or more on recommended specs run at virtually unplayable framerates. They can’t build onto this skeleton of a game until they fix the performance. Can you imagine how much worse it will be if they keep adding but don’t go back and optimize? I really hope they address this, but I’m not too confident they will at this point. Interestingly enough, the developers seem to be working on everything all at once. We have footage of the other solar systems, advanced parts, and some elements of multiplayer adaptations already (time passes in the VAB, Agencies, etc.) While much of this content is surely in its infancy, I’m concerned that we’ll end up with a stitched-together patchwork by release if the coming updates don’t have a stable foundation to work with. Given the KSP developers’ vain to nonexistent attempts to optimize the original game and now this one too, things are looking very bad for the future of this game.

[@superhawk8921]

They have mentioned multiple times that some significant optimization upgrades are in the pipeline. And remember, it only hurts their possible profit if it isn't optimized, they're missing out on a gigantic potential audience because they won't be able to run the game at a playable framerate if at all. If anything it's a priority for them as well in order to get the game accessible to as many people as possible.

[@Clone683]

The main problem I have is the astronomical price tag. Absolutely not worth it in its current state

[@Eliza_Stone]

The problem gets worse when you realise they haven't done regional pricing

[@leejohnson3270]

I don't think it's too bad, especially because we know how great the game will be when it's fully out in 2-3 years. When you say "astronomical price" (nice play on words), I think 60-80 like what some newer and mostly money hungry shit bag developers try to charge but right now I think 50 is good if not on the slightly higher side (at least it's more palleshed than the release of cyberpunk and better priced then baldur's gate 3. I think part of the price is potentially and supporting the development, kinda with it was advertised like that but hey, at least we get it after so long waiting). EDIT: I do agree that some of the reviews are reasonable and that it's best to judge what you have, not what is promised, but still think the pricing is reasonable if not slightly high, in today's "market" I think it's still good, especially with any delays covid may have cause increasing the price for production and comparison to others on the market today

[@jak5297]

£45 now for something I'm going to play for hundreds of hours whilst they update it continuously is fine with me 😀 Or I could wait for 12 months until its fully released and still pay £45 then - but then that means I miss out on 12 months of fun with it. Each to their own, but I see the value personally.

[@Riikkyy]

Idk man it does have its flaws now but it’s already come some ways over the last couple days it seems like for me atleast. Stray was 29.99 but only like 5 hours long. I already have 15 hours in this game so idk if that says anything. I say it’s worth it if you’re into sandbox building games like gmod, look past it’s flaws and hopefully see what it will hopefully become over time. 🙏🙏

@@leejohnson3270”When we know how great the game will be” How do you *know*? Lmao Its a great business strategy to farm money from schmucks that’ll throw any price at something as long as they can convince themselves it’ll be good “eventually”.

[@riotdrone]

it's not a launch day. it's the day they publicly released an alpha branch of the game.

[@DZ-1987]

Missed the joke, you did.

[@soliderboy8962]

FUCKING YES I WAD WAITING FOR THIS KSP WAS HOW I ORIGINALLY FOUND DAN

[@lyinarbaeldeth2456]

Daniel is pissing about in KSP again and I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe

[@JBG-AjaxzeMedia]

dans logic: its not working...needs more boosters dans logic: not enough fuel....needs more boosters no dan you just need to be more fuel efficient! you don't need to be full thrust all the time, you go far too high before starting grav turns, come on dan, you literally did the tutorial at the start! ah who am i kidding we've known for years this mans a lost cause for kerbal kind.

[@jakesumner5006]

Feels like 2014 again wooooooo! Nostalgia!!!

[@Thaxannadrote]

On February 24th Scott Manley's nose suddenly started bleeding. As he wiped the blood away from his upper lip he was heard to mutter a curse followed by, "Dan's taking a crack at the Kerbals again. The twat."

[@superhawk8921]

Bought this game quite literally the second it came out. I can't wait to see how it evolves from here!

[@elonwhatever]

It will need a lot of evolving to not be shit

[@leejohnson3270]

Literally about to save up for a computer just for this game lmao (I thought I still had another year or three, guess my wishlist isn't quite as long as I wanted but this is a must play for me)

[@NerdPulseGaming]

For a game that is £44.99 RRP, it feels more like a £24.99 game. I'm not saying it's bad, I want to play this, and I love building rockets, but this game isn't a high enough quality to be sold at £44.99.

[@KingxHai]

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

[@RobixCube12]

do some KSP2 on the main channel

[@carterbrown2492]

Woah!

[@lofirecordclub]

the voice of the narrator (p.a.i.g.e) is the person who does the voiceover for Sony's State Of Plays haha

[@Magnus8120]

So what I'm seeing is the EXACT same game, but with a couple of cutscenes and a more detailed tutorial. Yea this is a fucking scam. They could've updated the original game with this

[@nitelast]

Its not the full game yet

[@lonergothonline]

dan! I saw that an 'expansion' came out for a game called 'teardown' I seem to recall you enjoyed that game quite a bit. in it you play as a teenager.

[@alexanderwilkins222]

me: how is she going to eat that pizza through her helmet? Dan: "How is she eating pizza through her helmet?" *realizes the vizor is up*

[@PointyHairedJedi]

The game I was most looking forwards to this year. Oh well.

[@leejohnson3270]

1:55:00 ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN, but one hell of a fall, aye...

[@errantalgae]

too bad the devs are charging full price for what is an alpha of a demo

[@Kilgorio]

Wow

[@wyndblayde6103]

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.🤣

[@sumicmusic]

someone show dan space engine

[@aliirisdawn5271]

he recommended it to Jon on the Podcats

[@linkedwinters]

@@aliirisdawn5271 I'd love for him to play it on stream then

[@scribblejibble]

he played it like 9-10 years ago i believe? he should definitely check it out again but i recommend watching his older videos if you’re newer :D really good content

[@linkedwinters]

@@scribblejibble he did? I've been around since I was a kid but I haven't heard of him playing it. I know he played universe sandbox 1 and 2 though

[@Donggers]

Bring back challenges

[@ArtyI]

This game honestly is so disappointing. They delayed this game by YEARS to add seemingly nothing and not improve the game anyway

[@snufflebunny539]

Your gonna freak out when you see the roadmap

[@LeeAndersonMusic]

@@snufflebunny539 I'd rather eat the roadmap than pay 50 bucks for this pile of garbage

[@melloninc1660]

Consider how rubbish it would've been if not delayed. Most things they showed were in-engine but little actual gameplay. Just don't buy it unless they fix it, at the moment ksp 1 + mods runs better, looks just as good if not better than ksp 2, and can have more content that ksp 2.

[@metadata4255]

Not to mention Take 2 effectively destroyed the indie studio behind the original KSP...

[@zwenkwiel816]

​@@melloninc1660the price is kind of rubbish, rest will just take time I guess but what they're offering right now 50 bucks is a bit steep.

[@coconutstrawberry]

Kinda disappointed that you’re supporting this game after what TakeTwo did to the devs / studio that was originally developing it :/

[@LookingGlass1865]

You're allowed to be disappointed, that's fine. But he can play whatever the hell he wants, and you don't have to play it or watch his video about it.

[@legatelaurie]

Uber missed almost all deadlines and made very little progress. T2 at least offered everyone new jobs at the new studio.

[@metadata4255]

@@legatelaurie I will never understand the impulse to cape for multibillion dollar corporations and their shitty behavior

[@metadata4255]

I'm disappointed at all the coverage I've seen since this came out, frankly. Something that egregious shouldn't be ignored when assessing a game.

[@bluebrrypie]

@@LookingGlass1865 but it shows he doesn’t care and that’s why he shouldn’t play it, it’s supporting bad behaviour

[@pauliusmscichauskas558]

I don't fully agree that a child narrating fits the game...

[@minipop1032]

I believe Scott Manley will be voicing the tutorial at some point

[@zwenkwiel816]

It's not a kid, it's a kerbal woman called P.A.I.G.E . Makes sense they sound kind of childlike cuz they're small and well childlike...
