I agree to an extent but people should research what they buy. Not sure why anyone would buy anything without looking into it. Starbound is in a pre-release state and seems to be pretty fun but sounds too early to drop $15 on it so I won't. So many people got suckered with The War Z which is...

Even playable demos have been massively bullshitted up. Look at the horrible Aliens game Gearbox shat out, which looked and played awful across all consoles and PC -- noticeably worse than playable demos in the past.

It should have been recorded again, agreed. Domino always seems incredibly nice and cool on Twitter and just seemed a bit flustered in this. It's a shame they didn't reshoot it.

Was a joke, not meant to put fear into anyone's heart.I bet a Korean company bought it to spin it into a F2P P2W cash shop MMO.

It's done. Announcement on who got what could come tomorrow. Incoming Brad MMO Kickstarter.

On point, Flex. The people following this with any interest now are a very small minority and it's going to take more than a few dudes lighting up a forum thread to get this project funded. The pitch needs to be impressive and catch on with people beyond his group of Twitter followers. The idea...

Nice interview, game sounds awesome. I'll be space racing to mark all the cool shit. I love that there's at least a minor trend of developers OK with saying "yeah, not everyone needs to be a damn hero." You're just a dude flying through space on a hostile word.

Will read later the articles later, but the saga of that Kickstarter was hilarious. Or a nightmare. Or frustrating enough to make you want to choke slam the mom. That lady is a fucking scam artist and she's repeatedly used her kids to get free money. I'm not sure how anyone could defend that.

Hype that Skype. Don't copy that floppy.

Skype meetingsgoing well confirmed. They can take a year for all I care, just make the pitch good. When it launches, then it'll be time to analyze the shit out of the promised product.

Words like Rubicite shouldn't excite me but they do.

Yeah but the character models are fucking amazing.

I don't see that interest going places.

Here's the productthat matters coming from the people typically associated with The Elder Scrolls (Bethesda Softworks, Fallout 4 leak, set in Boston).

That looks like Entropy. It's on Steam.

Mine isn't too bad either, right at four out of five. My post was mostly anecdotal on a few searches I've done but maybe the bigger take away is that the gaming industry is full of companies that are run like shit and treat their employees poorly (which lines up to must stories about the industry).

There's too many projects that tried that and failed miserably. That doesn't work for Kickstarter because you've got to convince a bunch of people that they're not throwing their money in the garbage even if that's what might actually happen. Kickstarter is still a valid platform but it's...

Nah, it'll be made. Maybe it won't live up to the hype, but it'll be a product that releases. This shit needs Oculus support. I'm also skeptical about procedural generated content but with small teams trying to create a massive world, it's hard to imagine any other way. I like the idea of...

The once again terrible VGA's have concluded (this time called VGX for some reason) and developer Hello Games showed off a slick looking new game called No Man's Sky. The entire world is procedurally generated (second in MMO buzzwords only to voxels) so every distant dot in the sky you see is...

Fucking shit I'll never be able to give you Internets again I guess. Fake +1.

I feel like Glassdoor is far more appealing to the disgruntled employee than it is to happy workers who probably don't care enough to right a glowing review of their company. That's not to dismiss all complaints and Trion looks to be on the low side, but if you've got three stars you're looking...

I always thought Minecraft was voxel-based, holy shit.

Sign me up for a handkerchief edition.

I consider Iksar a big race because they're pretty damn tall. They sort of look likeGoombas in the Mario moviein EQ2, so definitely base it off the superior, classic EQ1 models. They'll probably have a slim waist, broad shoulders and a chiseled jaw in EQN because everything either needs to be...

It failed for me because it felt derivative. It was fine-tuned to be a product born from the streamlining of MMOs over the past years. It was Corolla the MMO. The only thing it did to mix things up was create random enemy spawn points that could temporarily take something over as a minor...

They keep pushing this idea of creating your own MMO with Landmark tools, which is nice and all until 500 people want 500 different things and every server turns into Second Life. SOE needs to have a long term goal of letting people manage their own server complete with unique rules and all the...

Pay attention to gamers in general, it's hard to see anything positive anywhere. NeoGAF is one of the bigger general gaming communities and it's gettingripped to shredsin the forum. This thing has been shit on since its debut by general gaming media and outside of a couple of random outlets...

Voxels. Oh wait.

Better to take some time on the pitch than to rush this shit out and have it flop on day one. We'll see, hopefully this means a deeper look into what's going on behind closed doors. The whole point of Kickstarter is open development and communication with your backers, hopefully that's the route...

This reasoning always feels like a justification for developers when they're creating a product they know won't meet expectations. The first time I played Metroid was a pretty big eye opener for me. It wasn't a standard NES platformer, it was a creepy ass maze of an alien world. Years later...

Blue Ocean Strategy isn't a bad one to reference, either. It's the strategy that took Nintendo from abysmal sales of the GameCube to the huge boom of Wii and Reggie Fils-Aime screamed that shit from the rooftops. Now they've targeted that same market Wii created with the Wii U and it's been a...

I fully buy into your third paragraph and was trying to endorse that mindset but maybe my talk of targeting a market clouded my posts. Every thing I say is just a mix of whatImiss and want in an MMO, some of which I expect to find its way into this game (that's all based on assumptions, of...

I never assume my wants perfectly align to what another person in "this crowd" wants. The language is clear though and Brad wants to create an MMO for people who cringe at how terrified developers are to not try and cater to every single audience which ultimately saps the soul out of a game. I...

Well said, I agree.

Yes, that's what I said. Pushed where it's good to push, don't waste resources on shit people in this crowd don't care about. Auction UIs are a convenience feature and "convenience" is a word people cringe at with new school development. One sentence summary: Rebuilding classic MMO doesn't...

Specifically on the "make EQ again and money," I don't side that way 100 percent either. But I do side with the idea that you have to hit those key notes that made it so awesome, most of which have long been forgotten in the MMO genre. There are certain things in classic EQ I'd remove, like...

So I guess you've got to run through that opening even no matter what race or class you pick because it's the same shit I did last time. Tapping out after three minutes, just can't be bothered to do it again. The game feels janky as shit and graphics are pretty junk.

I know Brad said he's going to be answering questions in a video, but not sure why anyone takes it to mean he's literally going to show a Q&A video and ask for money. It's going to be integrated within the pitch of the product (likely in video and text) unless Brad has completely overlooked with...

Story was totally forgettable and I laughed at a lot of the naming conventions like Dokkelfakolfar for Dark Elf or whatever, but I thought it was a fun romp. I didn't get caught up in side quests though and by leveling up you basically turn on God Mode even on hard and just destroy everything...

Define "pretty much trashed as a steaming pile of shit" because the average reviews on thegame hover around an 80and relative to many games that shit bomb, breaking more than a million sales with a new IP isn't bad. Sales weren't enough to salvage a trainwreck of a company being ran into the...
