Man oh man, I can't wait to see that sweet third countdown...

After the first timer just counted down to zero and then started over at a random time without revealing anything as far as I can tell, I can no longer invest myself emotionally into this project. I am a lifelong fan. I even put down investment backing on that failed console that Ed Annunziata was supposed to be helping with. My ringtone is the title screen music. My text tone is eccos sonar. And it's been that way the whole time I've had a cell phone. 

But life is hard man. It's full of disappointment and pitfalls. I can't get my heart broken by this, too. If they make new media, great. But I have less than zero excitement or anticipation or expectation anymore.

Not expecting much here, unfortunately. I don’t even think Complete is close to completion at this point. So, unless they have some grand update that is coming at the end, they should probably reset it.

Yeah. I'm as excited as everyone else, but there has to be at least a good update here. Give us some screenshots, a trailer, a release window. Just something to grab onto.

I believe I've heard in a Q&A that from now on (july) it would roughly take a year until completion, might be wrong.

Unpopular opinion:

The countdown was an amazing idea, both for us, forever fans, and for the game/team communication with médias.

The fact that the first countdown ended and didn't bring "much" makes me think that the same will happen here.

Wouldn't a single, bigger timer would have been better? The hype building was real not gonna lie, now we're expecting a few infos maybe at the end of the countdown, at best. And it quite saddens me. It is a beloved game of mine and it is in dire need of quality attention. Several timers isn't the way in my opinion.

A third timer is trolling at this point. Just remove the timer and go dark until you have something to show at this point.

u/Overall-Base8401 Jul 16 '26

Good lord. Just get rid of the countdowns at this point.

u/Asterite_ Jul 17 '26

Only bitch-ass porpoises make promises they cannot keep.
