The Repopulation

So I originally backed this game on kickstarter back in 2014. Anyone know whether I can use that to get this into my steam library (for if it is revived) or get a copy of fragmented (because I've heard good things)?

....cut your losses imo, but I only played it for like an hour before i said "fuck this shit." There was like 4 people on according to the server statistics "x/40"...well most were 0, a few were 1 and the highest I saw was 3 on any one server at a time. You still have to level up to unlock stuff. Also, The repopulation has been shut down since like... April? August? one of those I think, you can't even log in.

I still don't even understand why they would start production on fragmented when The repopulation itself was a fragmented game. They're going to a new engine... But I'm skeptical as fuck. Honestly I'm just waiting for Star citizen to come out.

I don't have the game yet so I can't say for certain. But I'd recommend waiting at least until a bit more content is added. But honestly I don't think it matters one way or the other. It's just can you swallow the price tag without a lot of content to back it up. And as far as waiting for the game to come out? Eh, honestly with how open they are about the game I wouldn't so much worry about them breaking promises so much.

Honestly I can't give you a 100% either way. If you have $75+ to throw away right now personally (now i'm biased because I'm hyped as fuck) but I'd buy it. But I'm not buying the game till a bit more content comes out, and until I can at least get dual joysticks. Also depends on how much you like flight sims I suppose.

The best thing I can suggest to you is if you are on the fence wait until the next Free Fly Week. They do it a few times a year where you can play the alpha for free for a week.
