Poll: When are you going to buy KSP2

[GigFiz]

So as we close in on the release date for EA, I have been debating whether to start playing on EA day one. After all the anticipation day one is my first instinct, but I also don't want to burn myself by the time it hits 1.0.

I am also waiting for them to release system requirements, since my once mighty laptop is now kind of a withered potato in need of an upgrade, which will happen soon^TM, but waiting for the right deal and specs.

So, I thought we might all be interested in the overall sentiment around these parts

[Stoup]

As much as I've been a little unsure about the way things have been going, I'm probably going to hop right on the train as soon as it comes out to be a part of it from the get-go. I'm excited

Precisely why I'm using KSP 2 instead of the former 

[The Aziz]

I have things to do that I've wanted to do for a while. I can just wait two weeks from now and do them properly.

[snkiz]

I'd love to jump in day 1 but I have to consider priorities. I may have to wait a few weeks.

I can't play it until the 28th

[theJesuit]

In NZ it won't be released until the 25th apparently... and I'm going to be busy that day and away from my computer for another week.

So we'll see what happens.

I also need to know what specs are required as my trusty 8 year old might not cope anymore.

[Scarecrow71]

I will be picking this up day one as soon as I can.  Depends on work that day how much I play.  I fully expect to log my first support ticket - which will invariably be the billionth logged that day - about an hour later.

[Geonovast]

My plan is to wait until 1.0, or at least until the beta is stable.  However I imagine everyone that knows me fairly well is assuming that's a lie and I'll be buying it on day zero.

 

 

 

They're probably right.

[Ryaja]

I'm probably gonna wait for a couple reviews first, if they have early early access for critics then I will look at those and see what they say.

[Astr0Guy5]

I'm certainly going to buy it the hour it releases, but I still don't know for sure that my old-ish laptop will run it.  Min specs and graphics tweakability are still big factors for me.  I'll be more than happy to play it at low settings and upgrade later.

[Domonian]

Buying day one (as soon as I get home from class anyway, can't skip any unfortunately), so I'll have some time to see how the Steam reviews stack up. While I would hate to see it, I'm expecting mixed reviews (about 70% positive) due to unforeseen bugs and whatnot. We'll have to see though.

This a very valid point, but hopefully the several big content updates will keep gameplay new and interesting until 1.0.  Then who knows where development will go.  I hope that after the science update save files will transfer through the updates, so that I can play progressively through them.

[Kalessin1]

Buying on day one but i have to wait until my ship arrived at first port which will be 2 weeks after that sh... satellite network

[HenryBlatbugIII]

I have no interest in a sandbox mode with missing features, so definitely not day 1.  On the other hand, I also have no interest in multiplayer, so I'll probably get it after the important features are finished but before 1.0.  I just hope I can keep up with reviews and feedback while avoiding spoilers for things I'd rather discover for myself.

[Superfluous J]

Not 100% sure when I'm going to get it. It depends on many factors, not the least of which is do I think I'll enjoy playing it?

[Pulstar]

Definitely on the 24th, although knowing life it will unlock in the late afternoon CET time and will be downloading for a bit. Then again kids will probably fall asleep just before the download finishes.

[pandaman]

Day One...  But may end up being day two if the store/website is too busy.  

[Hotel26]

When I finish my current KSP play-through.  Started January 2018 (v1.3) and now (v1.11.2) projecting to get the basics of system colonization done by mid-2028.

Or when everyone else gives the all-clear signal: whichever comes later...

I adore KSP and of course super excited for KSP2. 
 I will however hold off buying it day one as the price is unacceptable for an early access game. I will wait to see how the part performance is and if the devs actually include the features it should have had at launch. I know I will be waiting more than a year to play it but it gives me time to save for a new PC. ☺️

[AtomicTech]

Gonna have to put Fallout 4 in the backburner for a little while!

[WelshSteW]

 

As soon as I can. TAKE MY MONEY!!!

 

[MARL_Mk1]

So you get the idea, I'll be pressing F5 on the Store page the second the clock ticks release time
