  Early access means getting access to the game prior to its 1.0 release. It also usually means you can provide feedback to the dev(s) and help shape the game’s development. EA games can also be priced less than their 1.0 launch price.

  Shortcomings of the system are mainly that there’s no guarantee the game will be finished or the dev may just slap 1.0 on it and call it done, despite it being in an unfinished state.

  I don’t know if there’s a way to “fix” the system and I think it works well for the most part. I think people need to not buy into hype so quickly and also be aware that they’re buying an unfinished product that has no guarantee of actually being completed.

  Because at the same time, if they make a character’s clothing too revealing, they’ll have their wrists slapped by the government censors. I used to play Genshin Impact, and Hoyo got slapped during that time:

  Just pick something that looks interesting and go for it. The areas are level scaled now, so you don’t have to worry about wandering into a high level zone.

  Probably GBA or PS2. I was a teenager and started working part time jobs, so I had money to buy the games I wanted. I was also getting a bit older, so my parents were relaxing my restrictions a bit. I couldn’t play RPGs as a kid since apparently anything having to do with demons or magic would turn me into a cultist.

  Special mention for the N64 as well. I have countless memories of playing 4-player games with friends, primarily Goldeneye (though Perfect Dark was better and I will die on that hill).
