Cirrial posted:I'm sure plenty of backers learned to never back oh who the gently caress am I kidding no one ever learns anything from Kickstarter failures. Honestly, is Indiegogo that much more scam filled than Kickstarter these days? Everything sort of just feels like it blurs together. Indiegogo scams are easier to pull off due to flexible funding and their requirements for projects aren't nearly as strict as Kickstater's. Which is not to say Kickstarter is particularly strict or that Kickstarter's guidelines are enforced correctly and consistently. Indiegogo is easier to have a successful scam, but either site allows someone to post all but the most obvious of scam projects with ease.

They say "Even more beautiful nostalgia. Moneyhorse is collaborating with Hyperkin to bring Glorious Leader! to the RetroN 5. That means a real, physical cartridge! (Either Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis)" in their page. What I understood from it was that it's going to probably run on Retron 5 hardware only bypassing emulation (isn't it android based?), not working on real consoles at all. e: Logo stolen from Gradius, and the guy tying the US flag is from Metal Slug maybe?

You are probably more likely to get a substantial sum of scam money on Kickstarter, even without flexible funding. On Indiegogo you are going to get five bucks.

Amateur developers try so hard to develop a 100% realistic FPS. They never actually go out and try shooting anything or being shot at even by airsoft guns to realize just how limited you are when moving with nothing but a keyboard and mouse.

The 100% realistic shooting game should also involve you having to do ingame jobs to save up for the gun or enroll into the army. You'll have to worry about feeding yourself and getting enough sleep. All of this is done in accurate real time like those flying simulators.

Yeah, most FPS games are more like driving a really fast tank than controlling a human being on a battlefield. A small tank with super high mobility... Basically we're all drone pilots already. If you want to even approach a "realistic FPS", you need really accurate motion controls. Alan Smithee posted:you are permadead.

After the battle your character will be required to run around picking up spent brass. You will then be required to play various minigames, such as the Powder Scale minigame and Press Operation minigame, to load the ammo. If you forgot to put on your hearing protection during the last firefight, your computer will emit a high pitched tone during these minigames.

I dunno, I think it would actually be kinda fun to have an FPS that lets you do in-depth handloading (more than what New Vegas has) to fully customize your performance. I just have a thing for detailed customization and personalization in games. And if you accidentally overload or underload a cartridge, have fun!

Young Freud posted:I think you'd drop you gun if you got shot in the arms (because even then they had fiat to make it still fun) and fall over if shot in the legs and only be capable of crawling if shot in both legs. This was also a thing in the original Deus Ex too. I remember having to restart the tutorial because I had accidentally blown off my legs with explosives, and got trapped crawling around an area. I laughed really hard for a little while about it, but later it kind of wore thin. Locational damage and consequences have been around for a real long time, and what a lot of devs found in experimenting with it was that most players found it pretty tedious and unfun. The people that did find it fun coalesced into a very small market around things like Arma and weird Half-Life mods. I really want to hear that 100% Realistic FPS dude justify what he wants that's different from what Arma already offers because I think it'd be hilarious.

And the games that have relatively "realistic" damage always skimp on the sound. Guns are supposed to be extraordinarily loud and echo indoors, to the point where a machine gun should sound like one continuous blast. But they go for kinda ridiculous popping noises or stock sound effects.
