Mumpy Puffinz posted:It's not that weird, where is the Double Fine game? I also don't preorder games. What is the best game from Kickstarter you have played? The Double Fine game is finished? I don't know what your point is there. Yes he went hugely overbudget and over schedule. Shockingly so do publisher made games as well. That has zero to do if the original pitch was good and it looks like they have delivered on that pitch in the end. The best game? Pillars of Eternity so far. Not sure what reason you'll find for saying it's not a great game but whatever it is it doesn't really matter to me. I paid money and got a game I enjoy.

Pillars of Eternity is a winner, as is Shadowrun Returns and sequels. You're literally arguing that because you don't understand and/or like something, it must be bad and horrible and everyone who does it is stupid.

Darkhold posted:Because as I said publishers are rarely interested in funding niche games. I've been in plenty of meetings with executives that will casually turn down profitable deals because the margins aren't high enough to take risker deals with a bigger chance of return. They aren't interested in making money they're interested in making the most money and that doesn't make the smaller deals 'bad' just not what the company is interested in. People have been parroting this argument verbatim ever since the Playstation days and it's less true than ever before.

Sleeveless posted:People have been parroting this argument verbatim ever since the Playstation days and it's less true than ever before. I'm not sure how it's less true. I don't remember Wasteland 2 or Pillars of Eternity or a turn based Shadowrun game before kickstarter. Obsidian has openly said their company was on the verge of folding before kickstarter. Mumpy Puffinz yeah as I said in my post I knew you'd try some kind of 'that doesn't count because...' as if that mattered to me. I don't care if I was the only person that enjoyed the game or not. It was worth it to me I'm dubious that'd I'd use some other criteria when it comes to spending my money.

I guess as a concept kickstarted games are kinda okay, compared to the other Kickstarter staple, which is useless junkyard filler designed for impulse buyers.

I've given money to five different Kickstarters, up to $40-$50, and never got any of the rewards promised. They were all art and environment projects I really cared about (no preorder phone bullshit), so I guess I'm ok with that, but I hope they see completion someday.

I admit I'd start wondering if an art person is really fit to run a kickstarter without supervision after the 2nd failure. Too bad about the environment stuff. unpacked robinhood has a new favorite as of 15:57 on May 11, 2015 |

There could be a whole Google maps overlay to see who's winning. Think about the positives it could have on the community. Gang turf wars could be ended with fart severity supremacy. You would simply join a "Fart Group" that combines your control area with other members.
