I can't get enough of this game. I spent my life savings on it and then quit my job to play it full time. So far I haven't stopped playing the game since it was released and haven't eaten since it dropped (also I can no longer afford food). Soon I'll have to live on the streets and sell my body to continue to afford to play it or steal off people's exterior power outlets to allow me to continue to play.
I love this game. 15/10.

I see no one has had the courage to mention Barkleygate yet. Well, I'll say it. Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden 2 is going to be the greatest game of all human history, and they're only delaying it so everyone else doesn't get discouraged and stop making games forever.

Is there a Barkley controversy? I know it's taking forever to come out but I thought it was also a very small development team

It's like 3 years late at this point and it's only going to be the greatest game ever made, not the potential greatest game possible, so people will be mad.

What was wrong with pillars

it was just kind of uninspired? obsidian, for all their talk of making something really new and different but inspired by the classics of old, just made something boring

way too much 'wow look at this kickstarter backer bit' stuff

didn't have the strong character interaction that i'd expect from something trying to ape baldur's gate 2

the plot and story felt like it deserved the phrase 'too far up its own rear end'

i personally expected much better from obsidian, especially given how the fan narrative around them has always been 'all their games would be great, if it wasn't for those nasty publishers'

i thought the writing was pretty boring and they decided to a TON of writing to tell the story instead of telling you it through encounters/gameplay. I know it's trying to be a classic rpg but loving hell I don't remember THAT much scrolling through boring rear end text in baldur's gate 2.

20XX on Steam is a blatant Megaman X ripoff but appears to do everything that this game fails at (controls, graphics, music, fun, etc). Plus it's a roguelike so there's replayability. I think it was a kickstarter (?) but the devs aren't babyback bitches and put it on Steam early-access, which I'm guessing the Mighty No. 9 guys avoided like the plague once they realized how poo poo their game was turning out.

i thought wasteland 2 was glitchy as hell, but maybe i'm not remembering that correctly. shadowrun returns and its sequels are really good though.

pillars of eternity came out in working order but was still disappointing, so even if something ships as a workable project being made via KS isn't an indicator of quality.

i disagree, i thought pillars was great. but i say this having never been able to complete a baldur's gate game--never for lack of interest, always for mechanical problems inherent to the source ruleset that i thought pillars handled much better than its predecessors, short of the level cap

tfw u make a better game than mighty no 9 for a fraction of the budget flyin pretty much solo doe lol

The game looked better after one week than it did after three years.

That looks so much better than what was released. How did they go backwards from a proof of concept test build?

my guess is that those assets came with the game engine they were using, so they look good. then they made their own assets, which look like poo poo

I saw this video was 16 minutes long and figured there must have been a pretty long credits sequence
but nope, a solid 13 minutes of that is a long, boring lovely boss battle, followed by an ending consisting of still images and a short sequence with poorly animated cg models

loving lol if you paid money to make this happen

agreed. there were only a few plot threads that were interesting and most of the writing, character or otherwise, never really took off. I even thought that the world they created did a poor job of conveying some of the more important aspects of their own world fiction. at best it mirrored BG1 at points.

basically had the opposite experience with the game. a lot of the classes felt boring or really limited, engagement felt underdeveloped, and other aspects of the game, like encounters, felt pretty weak. I wouldn't say anything was broken, like in some other Obsidian games, but it just all fell flat mechanically for me. Coupled with the game's inability to hold my interest and I just thought it was pretty disappointing, especially considering the other rpgs that came out in 2015

Also, mighty no.9 still manages to be better than star citizen which, at the very least, is something.

I'm pretty sure it was just a hobby project by one guy.

If there was a one man produced attempt at a tongue-in-cheek remake of old MegaMan games, it might have as much charm as the AVGN game. The AVGN game is still poo poo, though, but at least they didn't fleece people for millions then call them basement dwelling anime loving virgins.

Actually, why did you even bring that game up?
