Seriously, anyone looking at Battlefield for historical accuracy really overestimates the number of automatic weapons available or the terrible machining of the time that would lead to jams.

Edit: I realize that I didn't mention three-in-a-horse, but come the gently caress on people. Read some Siegfreid Sassoon and see the real face of war is bad poetry.

Those guys are ON the horse. I think three guys IN a horse is an automatic AO rating from the ESRB.

Don’t know if this is relevant enough to this thread, but Illfonic are embroiled in a new controversy over a crowdfunded game turned into a clusterfuck on multiple levels. They were the devs for the Friday the 13th game that was produced by Adam Sessler, and boy, what a story that has been.

They did deliver the game, but it was a technical mess. Then, they announced that paid DLC was coming before any significant fixes, every patch broke more things than it fixed, and the only dates they ever met were the DLC release dates.

Then there was a lawsuit filed by the uncredited original writer of the first movie. Basically, the guy never got any royalties, and never wanted there to be any sequels. He sued for royalties owed and has been shutting down any and all merchant that he can, as he now owns the Friday the 13th IP. Illfonic had apparently finished a new playable version of Jason from Jason X, and could have released him before the judgement on the lawsuit, which did have any injunctions or restraints on licensing before the verdict. They also missed a promised date for a patch, and now they say they can’t even patch the game due to the results of the lawsuit, even though a mobile Friday the 13th puzzle game’s producers have said they don’t have to stop patching their game under the judgement.

Kind of funny how nobody involved in Star Citizen comes out of anything clean, huh?

That's kinda my original point. If you're asking at all where someone got their money, then you don't know. As safe as the assumption may be, it's still an assumption and I just can't imagine anyone caring enough to even follow Chris on twitter and then go "see? he's partying and he's a fraud: here's proof!" I also didn't back SC and have no dog in this race. I'm just tagging along for the juicy drama. I'm just trying to separate the "real" drama like the refund case and the jpeg sales vs the fake/overblown poo poo people just latch onto to be angry about.

First thing he did when the Kickstarter succeeded was to pay himself 2 years’ worth of salary. First thing, with zero real work done.

If that's provably true then yea, that is lovely and deserves to be derided. This is why I asked my original question: to see if it was as petty as it seemed on the surface or if there was a proven and traceable misappropriation of funds.

He straight out said he and the rest of the executive team all took 2 years’ pay off the top in one of the early company videos, it’s out there and established as recorded history. Finding that out was what parked me firmly in the “SC is a total scam” camp.

Especially on the PS4, and once you start figuring that it's about optimizing gameplay, it comes into it's own. Start maxing out the gems and the screen becomes a bullet-hell spell disco.

I bounced off the PC version hard, but it really suits sofa play.

I always found the people saying “Diablo III won’t work on console!” to be hilarious, as the PlayStation 1 version of Diablo was actually considered the best version by the dev team of the original game, not to mention all the clones like the X-Men Legends/Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Untold Legends series.

Definitely won't. Unless you're somehow operating outside the crowd funding hype bubble with your own unique hype, KStypes need to do 50% in the first 25%. Or scam the system by setting the goal way below actual need and risk having to do a late cancellation on an apparently "successful" project. The funniest loving thing about the kickstarter ecosystem is people want to back already "successful" projects or developers who have multiple KSes and usually a big industrial license behind it. So the only change is who takes the risk! Great poo poo.

Also probably doesn't matter, they sink or swim based on the TJE remake working out. If it doesn't they're probably done either way. Why they'd not wait for that to release, derrpy derrpy doo.
Kingdom of Amalur had some rather nice visuals but the lore was either the most generic, or sometimes they switched it up and it was the most boring instead!

But I mean what a shock, a guy who didn't build the world his hits are from being a crap worldbuilder? AND the forgotten realms are the most uniquely crap of all fantasy I can bother to bring to mind??? It'd be like backing a ... Star Citizen. Right. That's where we are.

Game was kind of a shitshow I'm always surprised people get excited about. Maybe they imagine it'll work in the engine darksiders 3 is in and they plan to easy peasy squeeze out a mmorpg or something?

The actual Kingdom of Amalur was the unreleased MMO, the action RPG was Reckoning. From the announcement, it looks like they got the IP, but it isn’t that clear that they intend to do anything with Reckoning. That artwork was used as promo art before they acquired the studio making what would become Reckoning, and was just a quick, lazy choice for cover art.
