Like Shovel Knight is great but they're still delivering on kickstarter promises and they were conservative about it.

Been on a Metroidvania and platformer kick lately, so hopefully a 2018 release on the Switch

I understand I'm going to be waiting quite a while on that game, I just hope it doesn't disappoint in the same ways Yooka Laylee seems to have for the people that've played it. I feel their complaint is "It's Banjo-Kazooie 2, but I expected it to be like the first one" which isn't an invalid complaint to have.

Alcohol abuse is no joke, I have a friend dying of cirrhosis in his early 30s and he can't stop drinking in spite of the repeated urgings of his doctors, family, and friends I promise Mario Odyssey will still be good sober

Kickstarter in general always disappoints relative to companies that find funding elsewhere and operate traditionally. That's how it is in tech, in board games, in kitchenware. The best you can expect is acceptable and average

Ventana posted:As a fighting game, it's got good simple systems and very different and unique character styles. Cool graphics/music/areas and good online. Do not buy for single player content, otherwise it's a surprisingly great fighting game. I played the demo. It was.... basic, but obviously enough to pique my interest. I'd probably play online or occasionally with my 5 year old. Majority would be online. Is it like most fighting games where really good people will just STEAMROLL with huge combos and make me sad all the time? Or is there a nice back and forth? I know that's an odd question because that depends on me... and people. But I mean like, if I get online with Street Fighter, for example, more often than not, I'm going to get trounced, and in a very discouraging way. Is this, you know... like, a fairer shot for everyone? Maybe that question doesn't make a lick of sense. Answer it or call me an idiot. Or do both!

Tekopo posted:I've always found that in general, videogaming kickstarters never live up to the hype. For boardgaming the hit ratio is much better, and some of the better games out there are kickstarted. It's a different industry. Ok but in board games how many of the most successful kickstarters come from established developers looking for easy cash? That's one thing I really hate. Then there are successful kickstarters that feed off the free money from stretch goals like Kingdom Death and Zombiecide. It's not really about making a good product but crowdsourcing your profits by making people believe they are influencing the design when really they are just giving you free info into how to milk the most people dry.

Videogames are just too expensive for kickstarter. Even an indy title with just a handful of devs/artists is going to be a ton of money for a year or so of development.

Bingo Plus boardgames are something you can find companies that will do a run of x of your game if you got the cash upfront which is where kickstarter makes sense. You can show exactly what you want to do for the game and just need to actually make it.

Don't get me wrong, there is poo poo like the entire catalogue of CMON games, but I've also personally been in quite a few boardgaming KS that delivered exactly what I wanted or better, which hasn't been the game for the limited number of videogaming kickstarters that I backed before deciding that it was too risky.

Team Cherry kickstarted Hollow Knight, but their stretch goals were reasonable. Dunno is any of them have been met yet, though.

Kingdom Death is also loving stupid because the company decided that the $100 basic version of the game selling out meant that people only wanted to buy the $600 titty miniature version
